privilege and that your government should treat every single person in this country with respect. >> so a quick recap of the numbers. here's how the seats have shaped up in parliament since last night's election results. labour have won a total of 412 seats, although with a smaller vote share than jeremy corbyn achieved in his 2017 defeat. the conservatives slumped to their worst ever result, with losses for former prime minister and a record of 11 members of the cabinet. it now means the liberal democrats, well, they're the third biggest party in westminster. the greens and plaid cymru both made small gains and reform secured at first four seats and then later this afternoon we heard a final seat added to that list, securing a total of five. and in other news, former nurse lucy letby has protested her innocence. today after she was sentenced to another whole life jail term for trying to kill a

baby girl earlier this week, she was convicted of the attempted murder of a premature baby at the countess of chester hospital in 2016. the 34 year old has already been found guilty of killing seven babies and trying to kill six others at a neonatal unit at that hospital between 2015 and 2016. and in sport, a sir keir starmer settles into number 10 tonight. he'll be hoping tomorrow to find time to tune in and watch england face switzerland in the euro 2024 quarter finals. manager gareth southgate has wished the new prime minister well, but stopped short of offering any tips on how to survive the pressure of the job. the match marks southgate's 100th game as southgate's100th game as england boss, and it's been reported that he could change to three central defenders with wing backs. but he's not been giving much away. that game kicks off tomorrow in dusseldorf at 5:00 in the evening. those are the latest gb news headlines. for now i'm sam francis. next it's headliners for the very latest gb news

the scottish stuff and thought, kirsty wark, i'll deal with you another day. >> well, so this is coming out as a drug addict on live television? >> well, no, it's just an aid. it's a little crutch. >> yeah. no, no. sure that's what they say about heroin, right, we're going to have a quick look at saturday's front pages. quick look at saturday's front pages . the telegraph streeting pages. the telegraph streeting nhs is broken. just like the. oh, no . like our newspapers. no, oh, no. like our newspapers. no, there we are, the express . let there we are, the express. let us be gracious in defeat. the daily mail . us be gracious in defeat. the daily mail. now he has to deliver the mirror. now we begin the iweekend. starmer tells uk politics can be a force for good, and the daily star will switch to five at the back and play switch to five at the back and play jude as a number 10. and those are your front pages . those are your front pages. okay, slow news day. bruce, what are the times going with? well they're talking about this is they're talking about this is the first 100 days. >> i'm for keir. and he says the

work of change begins now. and he is going to change everything. >> he's going to go on a diet. >> he's going to go on a diet. >> i think he will. i don't know that. so i can't really comment on that. i'm carrying a bit of, lorazepam weight at the moment. it does make me bloat, but i don't think he looks that fat, don't think he looks that fat, do you? >> i just meant, like, the work of change. it was a personal thing. as opposed to changing the country. >> you can never tell with you. you hide it well with your personality. so he does have his work cut out for him, doesn't he? because he feels there's an awful lot to do, but he really will have to do something quite magnificent. i think within the first hundred days. pull a rabbit out of a hat, maybe then boil it, skin it, eat it. i don't know, to, you know, because a lot of people have said that, you know, he's boring. it was inevitable he was going to win. what's he actually going to win. what's he actually going to win. what's he actually going to do? is it not two? is it two cheeks of the same backside? i don't know what that phrase is always bringing up backsides. >> no, no, no, i saw, no, i saw on— >> no, no, no, i saw, no, i saw on the tube, >> so. yeah. who knows. >> so. yeah. who knows. >> well, i mean, this thing is, i think a lot of people count one a bit of boringness. i think

they want a bit of stability after the last 14 years of madness. don't they just want someone to kind of just get on with getting stuff done and running the country? >> well, i'm very much in the nothing ever happens crowd and all that , and it would be nice, all that, and it would be nice, you know, if we could give a little bit of stability. but i don't think labour are definitely going to be able to actually give us that, because at the end of the day, the labour and the end of the day, like starmer's victory, do you remember that cyclist that won the race just because everybody else crashed ? yes, that's that's else crashed? yes, that's that's what happened. do you think this is what it is ? that is what it is what it is? that is what it is. basically, it's not a case of starmer's good. it's the fact that everybody else was terrible. well, you could argue with that analogy that starmer was good at weaving between all the bad, the worst people. >> so there is some skill to that. arguably, weaselling . that. arguably, weaselling. >> well, something we want to see in all of our politicians. >> be a politics. well, see now that's when nicola sturgeon was saying and also stewart hosie, they didn't necessarily think it was a fault of the snp. >> i think what they said was it was definitely the fault of the

snp. well, some stuff is, some stuff isn't. but what they said was people have taken their votes just to get changed, to make sure they got the conservative government out. >> yeah, i mean there is an element now we'll see. we'll revisit this conversation in 100 days. time to see if they did manage to achieve some good laboun manage to achieve some good labour. i know there are a lot of people who feel like you do count, there are people like myself who may be slightly more optimistic, who think that possibly they might actually do some good, but we're not going to find out until we're here at the starting line, and we'll see how it goes, but there's definitely certainly not the sense of in 97, when blair got in and i think there was genuine some kind of hope in the air, it doesn't feel like that. and also what i quite liked was that he acknowledged that starmer, he sort of said, look, this i think a lot of people are a bit despondent with the situation because there was a euphoria. that was what? yeah. >> yeah. no, there was there was a nationwide euphoria because it was the first time we'd had something new in in ages. so i think he is aware of the fact that he represents change, but

it's just what change can he bnng it's just what change can he bring or does he represent change? >> well, we'll find out, change? >> well, we'll find out , let's >> well, we'll find out, let's move on to the express count, >> daily express, obviously, big fans of the tories themselves, have said, let us be gracious in defeat, which i definitely think they should be, because they get nuked like they've got no other options. yeah. yeah, exactly. they got absolutely nuked. you know, it's like it's like the other boxer that gets completely trounced by the other guy and then starts acting all humble, and he's not talking so much smack anymore and stuff like that. of course they're going to be like that because they did. they get absolutely destroyed. i mean, i was part of the zero seats team because the tories deserved it. they absolutely deserved it. they absolutely deserved it. they absolutely deserved it. and i'm amazed they did as well as they did because they've done again, nothing of note, nothing good in like 14 years. they just spent the entire time ignoring what their voter base wanted. and now they seem surprised that their voter base has now left. and again, it wasn't because it wasn't because labour got more voters . it's labour got more voters. it's just they weren't going out and voting for the tories.

>> that's why, it is funny, bruce, obviously you you've done the show a fair amount over the years, but daily express was, is was so sort of trying to find anything on starmer. and then he was like suddenly they're like our new pm is undoubtedly decent and sincere. and it's a little bit like, well, it's exactly like count saying is, yeah, it is. they're sort of punch drunk at the end and now they're like, okay, fine, they're just going with what they think is the right thing to do. >> and if they're pro him, then they might be sell more papers. >> well, i don't know if people are pro him to that point. what i do like and this has been commented elsewhere though they're talking i thought rishi sunak not a fan of him as a prime minister, but i thought his concession speech was actually quite, emotional. he sort of and, and in a weird way, sincere and sort of patriotic because there's been here a sort of seamless transfer of power which you don't see in other democracies , america, whatever democracies, america, whatever it was like the say that day,

they announced the moving vans come in. surely this actually speaks well of our democracy to be honest, it was a little bit undisputable with the number of seats that labour got or that many. >> oh, okay. no, no, stop the court cases. >> yeah. stop the recounts. >> yeah. stop the recounts. >> yeah. stop the recounts. >> yeah . fair enough, let's move >> yeah. fair enough, let's move on to the daily telegraph bruce, what are they going with? some something more than the election or not? >> well, it's election adjacent . >> well, it's election adjacent. okay. wes streeting, i think, is our new health secretary and he claims that the nhs is broken. and again, he's voted to everything in his power. he's a huge fan of the nhs . he huge fan of the nhs. he unfortunately many moons ago suffered from kidney cancer and felt his treatment was fantastic. you know, you couldn't replicate that around the world. so he's now going to enter into talks with the junior doctors, but it's what can he talk to the junior doctors about that the previous lot wasn't able to and get a solution, if you see what i mean. so i don't know what his game plan is long term. >> yeah. i mean it comes down to money and the in this case junior doctors, they want 35. he's a straight away just said

no, you're not going to get that. but at least the argument is that he will engage with them. and a wider picture though count. i mean part of me is like okay, good. he's acknowledged that there's an issue and surely that there's an issue and surely thatis that there's an issue and surely that is the first step to then deaung that is the first step to then dealing with it. but as bruce alluded to, what can he where's the money? how how is this, how is this, how is this change going to happen? >> you know, the only way it can come is through increased taxes. that's the only way we're already paying out an enormous amount of money put in illegal migrants up in hotels, and then paying migrants up in hotels, and then paying for their lawyers through legal aid and all that type of stuff as well. and it's going to be a case of there will be a collapse. the only way that he's going to get this money is increasing taxation, which labour are big fans of. >> well, i mean, well, it seems like the tories are big fans of as well. they've got to this point of politicians in general. yeah, they love a bit of tax. yeah. but i mean you're wearing a cap says taxation is theft. would you mind paying a bit more tax if i don't want to pay any tax if i don't want to pay any tax i don't want to pay any tax at all. no. even for the nhs, if the system got run better, if people got paid fairly. >> no, i wouldn't want to pay

any taxes at all. >> what would you say? you want a private i go, i go fairly private for everything i can. yeah, really. and i still have to pay taxes even though i don't use the services, but. >> okay, well, someone's doing pretty good on youtube. >> oh, no. i'm broke . >> oh, no. i'm broke. >> that's because you're paying for private healthcare . stop it. for private healthcare. stop it. okay, let's finish that with the daily star, then. what are they going with? i don't really understand this headline count. what's the star about here? i don't know the whole thing. >> maybe. i don't really understand it either, but it's very, very hard to decipher what the daily star are actually talking about. half the time, i don't think they know either. i'm saying that because they don't like me very much. okay, we'll switch to five at the back and play jude as a number 10. i don't get it. >> it's a football reference. i'm guessing that'd be why i'm not interested in football. oh i'm out. i've just heard i've just heard from the booth five defenders jude bellingham is a football player. there we go. so the iphone is the song hey jude. there we go . there we go. >> all right. >> all right. >> so i'm not sure i thought in a bar or something.

>> yeah i thought maybe that as well. yeah, but i wasn't sure. >> well i mean look, keir starmer, to be fair, he is a football into football. i don't know if the king is a big football, if he's just if he's got advisers saying you should talk about football or keir starmer. >> i'm pretty sure he's a rangers man, though, right? yeah. pretty sure . yeah. pretty sure. >> oh it was more hibs but, you know, a little local reference for you there. right. that is the front pages done and dusted. join us after these messages where we dig inside sunaks successor. farage. is heckler and who is how now identifying as?

welcome back to headliners. where? like a mother eagle. we take tomorrow's newspapers, chew them up and regurgitate them into your waiting faces. i'm josh howie . and today i'm joined josh howie. and today i'm joined by a devil and a vampire as bruce devlin. and count dracula. bruce, we're going to kick off with saturday's telegraph for some good old fashioned election. hot takes. yes. >> so this is the labour election result is the most distorted in history. party wins nearly two thirds of seats and with a third of the popular vote outpacing gap recorded in 2001 under tony blair. now it's interesting because adam brooks, who appears on this channel, had tweeted that we have to remember that 80% of uk citizens didn't vote for labour. >> yes. so that's the that. yes,

exactly. >> so then surely with all this badinage about this subject, we would have to then be discussing proportional representation and a reforming of our electoral system as is. yeah. well, exactly. >> speaking of reform count, nigel farage has come out asking for proportional representation. yet there is some irony there in that we did have a referendum for proportional representation that the country decided to not go with. so having a second referendum seems that sounds familiar . yes, but this time it familiar. yes, but this time it would serve his interests. yes, it does for there to be another referendum. yeah, but it's like the first past the post system is a complete joke . is a complete joke. >> like i'm not a believer in democracy myself , but it's just democracy myself, but it's just what do you what? i love how nervous that makes people libertarian . don't worry. no libertarian. don't worry. no fascism. i don't want a government. but it's basically you would think that democracy is supposed to be the will of the people via majority. but under the first past the post

system, it's not about being the majority, it's about being the biggest minority. right. so see how they only got like 33.8% of the vote? that means only a third of people who voted actually got what they wanted. the other two thirds of people didn't get what they wanted. that's a joke of a system. >> so but then, of course, the alternative is when you have proportional representation, you have something like netherlands, and then you're talking about coalition governments, which can take months to form. and arguably then the people get what they want. at that point, it bugs the system down and makes the government start to fail. >> so that's exposing my plan. yeah, but what's to say there's you know, democracy is imperfect, but it's the best we've got or. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> it was like someone the other day that was going on about free speech and they went, yeah, i'm all for free speech. but when it's the right kind of free speech, which i didn't understand also as well, the turnout has dropped to a new level and it was interesting because i was watching marty black from the snp , who was black from the snp, who was discussing, you know, the problems with the postal votes , problems with the postal votes, the date was incorrect and all

this kind of stuff. and also the thing that surprised me and i've met a couple of times, i think she's quite nice, but she said i discovered it was raining in scotland today. i'm wondering if that affected the turnout . and that affected the turnout. and it's like it rains in scotland every day. whether it's a summer. we had an election in scotland, i think in november, andian scotland, i think in november, and ian blackford was appalled. it was a general election, i think in november or december. and he was appalled because people in his constituency, there was no street lighting. so they couldn't go out at night. and according to mari, she's now worried that if there's a bit of rain on your scottish, you may or may not want to vote. but one person that didn't vote was nicola sturgeon's sister. >> okay, how do you know that you've been following her? >> i know, no, not at all. i'm not like that. i just keep an eye on certain people. no, she . eye on certain people. no, she. she'd come out and say that. ehm. she was disgusted with the sleaze and corruption in westminster. she thought it was one of her family came out. well oh, well, that was very clever. as a campervan owner. how nice, but yeah, she was saying there

was no party that she could actually vote for. well, i was including the snp. >> well, fair enough, to be honest, i was very close to spoiling my ballot. i didn't know what i was going to do in the. >> why would you? >> why would you? >> i don't understand spoiling your ballot as opposed to not voting shows that it's a protest vote. and also if you write on it, the politicians all have to look at the message on the ballot itself. so if you have a particularly concise message like respect , women's rights or like respect, women's rights or whatever it is, then that would be there. but in the end, i just went for labour and then i just got loads of abuse about it all day on twitter, which is fine. one final thing i will say on this is that it's been an amusing day online to see there's been a lot of hot takes about how labour has lost today from people who sort of going , from people who sort of going, well, this shows that really labour lost by using these kind of figures, and it feels to me a bit like they're trying to sort of justify their previous hot takes, if that makes sense. you've got the left and the far and the right and everybody's going, this just shows how

labour really lost the hearts and minds, as opposed to the fact that, look, they're in power now and let's just get on with it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> but yeah, that's what people do, right? melnik's count. and as one election ends, another one begins a to new know. >> the jostling to replace rishi sunak begins. kemi badenoch, robert jenrick and suella braverman are all tipped for the top job, with tories set to enter bitter leadership battle. and they're getting very good at them because they've had quite a few. yeah they, they take months don't they. >> why do they take so long. yeah, exactly. >> you mean you think they would get a lot faster at it, you know. but it's just going to be another case of everybody, you know, form a line and everyone pick your favourite idiot like that, like some of the comments that, like some of the comments that they're trying to make as well is, oh yeah, we didn't listen to the british people. and it's like, where was that about? like six, seven years ago, like 13 years to listen? yeah. it's like, oh, we care now. and it's like, well that would have won you the election. that's what you're supposed to do in the first couple of days. >> it's going to look what you didn't win, isn't it? >> yeah, yeah. it was even rishi sunak when he was tweeting all

this stuff like, oh, this, this gender nonsense doesn't belong in schools. and i was like, his final death throes of no. everyone i was based in cool the whole time. you just don't get it. and it's just like, no, it came through under his government. >> yeah. that was the insane thing. so this article is all about who's, you know, and they list all the people kemi badenoch out is the sort of number one, favourite . but i'm number one, favourite. but i'm just curious as to whether anybody would actually want the job right now, because it seems like they're going to be in opposition for a while. but they look, of course, it seemed like that when keir starmer took oven that when keir starmer took over, but he's sort of by the ineptitude of the tories. and he actually did do a good job of cleaning out a good chunk of, did a lot of house cleaning up. >> corbyn. >> corbyn. >> yeah, there was a lot to clean, i don't know if it's the same situation, though, for the tories right now. i don't know if that's where they find themselves. >> i think it may be the other way where they're gonna is called putting the walk away. if there's anybody that's going to spout any of that nonsense, they've now understood that that's not what the british people want. the reason reform did so well is because they just

came in being what the conservatives were supposed to be. yeah. and everything. it was basically. yeah they basically tories became indistinguishable from labour. yeah. >> that's all it was. no. >> that's all it was. no. >> and what do you guys think about kemi badenoch as the as the favourite. do you have any thoughts about her. >> well she's almost odds on i don't have any. i think the person that really wants the job, i don't have any thoughts about, well, i'm friendly with david tennant so i shouldn't speak about kemi, i just but i think the person that really , think the person that really, really, really wants it is braverman. yes. so i think if they were to say it's interesting, you know, if they were to go around in the cloisters bar and say, listen, we're giving this away for free with the next gin and tonic, she'd go make mine a double, give me the job. >> she is hard and she means business. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> no, she's she's not messing here. but, i mean, i personally think kemi badenoch is a very effective communicator. she was on top of these issues. certainly the gender, gender ideology stuff , but i just ideology stuff, but i just i guess people don't know that much more about her. if she's as sensible about her economic

policies or whatnot. but i guess we're going to find out. i think, though, she would be good.i think, though, she would be good. i mean, i'd be interested to know if they had voted for her in the last tory leadership, if they would. tories would find themselves in such a dire situation right now. >> whoever it is doesn't exactly have very big boots to fill. no. you know, literally. >> literally. yeah. >> literally. yeah. >> or big trousers because they were always very short. >> yeah. that's guardian now bruce, >> which has nigel farage deporting some hecklers. >> yes. >> yes. >> so hecklers disrupt. yeah. reform uk event is nigel farage vows to come after labour anti—racism protesters heckled farage. is it farage or farage? inever farage. is it farage or farage? i never know, nigel. okay nigel as first event in london since the election is an msp here where he said he would in inverted commas. professionalise reform uk displace the conservatives as the voice of opposition. now it was funny because he exchanged some barbs with one of the hecklers and asked where they were from, and they said glasgow. and he said, oh, that explains it . which then oh, that explains it. which then goes back to the thing he said

ages ago that he doesn't feel safe in scotland. and that's why none of us do border, that's why he's here. >> that's why you both is. >> that's why you both is. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> my camper vans parked outside . >> my camper vans parked outside. so yeah. do you not remember? it was the pub, the canons gate on the royal mile? yeah. and was he locked in or was he thrown out? >> oh, it was a they they chased him. they chased him and he took shelter inside in a pub. >> that's not the worst place. >> that's not the worst place. >> it's also not like him. >> it's also not like him. >> yeah, but it's also the sort of the plot to, dawn of the dead, not dawn of shaun of the dead. yeah, but did you did you see he had seven people heckle him like you're both comics. yeah. that's. it's a lot of heckles. he was funny. he was sort of. he said, this is great preparation for the house of lords. have we got the clip here? he was. i got to give him some props. he, you know what? for me, he didn't lose his temper. >> you've had a bigger lunch than i've had. >> yeah. he was just basically calling him drunk and saying, you know, go and get some more beer and he was being amusing under whilst people screaming at him. that's it's an impressive skill to have. >> i think most of the

politicians cry about it and call the police . call the police. >> yes. yeah. and try and get you arrested for that stuff nowadays. but at least he took it in good spirit. no. >> fair enough. well good. i'm glad that all my tips helped him. moving on to the mail. and perhaps we've got it all wrong. bruce biden was just trying to find his true self. >> yes. so there is a lot of concern over mr biden. and joe biden described himself recently as a black woman during an interview radio. he was being interviewed on the radio and he made the mistake of describing himself as a black woman , which himself as a black woman, which has caused. >> we've all been there. >> we've all been there. >> come on. hey >> come on. hey >> all depends. what have you been drinking? >> yeah . what sleeping pills >> yeah. what sleeping pills have you been taking? well, exactly. >> i'm not promoting them anymore, but i'm on other ones now . so the gaffe prone now. so the gaffe prone president, 81, stumbled over his words during thursday's interview. now, what i thought was interesting was over 80% of americans in like, the jig is up. we need a different, obviously we think he was speaking about kamala harris. i'm i would imagine and, you

know, racial struggles and female struggles you might identify genuinely as a black woman. >> he might. >> he might. >> and there's nothing wrong with that. no. >> you know, according to his government, no, i identified as a woman at the airport the other day when they weren't going to let me on with my suit card, and i went, it's a handbag. >> nice, because they wanted to put me and it in the hold. >> so that's a story for another time, >> count, there's a conspiracy theory that senior democrats actually want him to stay in charge because he's easier to manage than than anybody else. so they can kind of keep him there as this figurehead, and then they get to run the show. i don't know if you've heard of that. oh he's not running america. >> he's not even running his own twitter account like trump's twitter account like trump's twitter account. you can tell it's him. yeah >> spelling mistakes. >> spelling mistakes. >> yeah. no he's not he's not running it. they just keep him in a back room, pump him full of epinephrine and then drag him out in front of everybody. that's that's what it is. >> but the thing is, they say he's good during the day. they're confident about him in the day. they say he can handle it about the day. and it's funny because for a lot of elderly

women, the night can be a scary time. >> but what he is saying as well is please do not rub him because he got it in the neck, which isn't a good idea because he's frail, but he got it in the neck over that debate and he said, please do not rubbish my three years of good based on 90 minutes of, well, three, three years of good. yeah, three years of good. it's even worse that he said it's just my brain. >> no , it's not been three years ago. >> he's tanked the american economy . >> he's tanked the american economy. he's >> he's tanked the american economy . he's increased >> he's tanked the american economy. he's increased national debt by trillions, and then he's ruined everyone's wages and savings because he's that, you know , mentally inept. he forgot know, mentally inept. he forgot how to turn the money printer off. >> please refer to him as as a black woman for , you know, black woman for, you know, sorry, a beautiful black queen. >> sorry. >> sorry. >> right. we're halfway. we're building up steam. we've got some great stories ahead, including jess phillips taking brain reading tech, there's no point trolling

welcome back to headliners and getting straight into saturday's male dangler. where jess phillips calls out misogyny. and she looked darn cute doing it. >> jess phillips is a very, very well known in our circle. she has a massive crush on a friend of mine called carl benjamin. they had a bit of a fling. that's a joke , but i know they that's a joke, but i know they hate each other. it's amazing. it's hilarious. but she was heckled and booed. because she beat the independent candidate by just 693 votes, and it was by a pro—palestinian mob who had a very, very reasonable people, of

course, and very respectful. absolutely. yeah. they love me to, i'm actually very fortunate. i'm hated by both sides of that argument. it's fantastic. but, she said and she always hits back with, i understand that a strong woman standing up to you is met with such reticence, and she did the exact same thing to us when things kicked off with her on us years ago. she always says that the reason people hate her is because she's a woman. it's not. she's insufferable. she's she's just insufferable . she's she's just insufferable. >> i mean, i felt sorry for her in in this case that she's being shouted during her speech . the shouted during her speech. the incidents that she's talking about during this election , about during this election, talking about, one of her colleagues having their tires smashed, people going up to a young woman and screaming, i don't endorse any of the stuff that's happening. >> you do? i'm just saying. >> you do? i'm just saying. >> but also and that's being real here, those it's interesting what they refer to as pro—palestinians. i would say islamists, are misogynistic and do have a problem with women and

particularly in strong women. so i think in this case she is right to call them out, but really, it what was interesting, i mean, did you see the clip of her? >> i did, yeah. and she eventually got well, she, she was at once, twice, i think, said, could you just get them out? which fair enough. but the thing is as well, it's so interesting that the number of six, nine, three is mentioned, because if we're now moving towards the fact unless you get a thousand over, then it doesn't count as a victory. it would be a bit like then up the road we've got independence that's come through as 50% plus one vote. i don't think anyone would want to live if it was just that one vote. you know, they would have to be a margin. it was a bit like with rishi, someone else was saying to me, he's got too much money, he shouldn't be prime minister. and it's like, well, do you want to put a cap on then? what a potential prime minister or any member of parliament has in assets. and yeah, but the big part of this story is the, i guess, what you might call the muslim block vote. >> and the impact that that's

had on the election, that's the first time, arguably, that the, the muslim vote has come around gathered, garnered by the issue of gaza, they've won four candidates again this morning with the hot takes going on. and people were calling out, oh, the far right are ascendant. and at this morning they now, farage. reform. they won five, but at the time they had four. and you're going just the hypocrisy to go well , you're going just the hypocrisy to go well, you're you're going just the hypocrisy to go well , you're saying these to go well, you're saying these people are far right, which is debateable, but you can certainly argue that the people who are voting for these candidates are support hamas , candidates are support hamas, support, the rape and murder of jews, you know, and that's not mentioned, but that has been that has had an impact as somewhat a ultra far right conservative type of religion that actively preaches to murder everyone that doesn't believe it. >> you know? >> you know? >> well, i mean, you could, but you could see the intolerance going on in this , as jess going on in this, as jess phillips is trying to make her

speech. and i think for a lot of people , including maybe most people, including maybe most importantly on the left , the importantly on the left, the that, there's a, you know, that you cannot appease fundamentalists really whatever side they are. but now they're sort of realising that actually, maybe this is not their side. right. bruce, does this guardian article explain why so many people seem to hate tennis players, >> i don't know if that's the case, but it's the first article i've written that praises ai. >> so it's wimbledon employs ai >> so it's wimbledon employs al to protect players from online abuse. the threat matrix service monitor social media profiles and flags up death threats, racism and sexist comments. the all england lawn tennis club is using artificial intelligence for the first time to protect players at wimbledon from online abuse. >> so what is counter like? what is al actually doing here? >> i think it's basically filtering their reply. well, the only the only way they would be able to actually felt all the replies would be if it was the social media platforms implementing it themselves . implementing it themselves. >> the article basically goes on

to say that what happens is the ai just has an account on the social media and then flags the comments. so all it does is it submits a report, which eventually an administrator for the social media company might look at. but the thing is, is, well, even if it was an active filter, basically , people do filter, basically, people do things like this online, you know, great big projects and targets, which i absolutely do not take part in myself. and basically see, even if it was a filter system, people will find a way around it. the internet always finds a way, but they say that the world rugby association also uses this. >> there was an incident in australia. i'm i'm an australian being successfully prosecuted in april. i'm after targeting a referee and his wife with threatening and messages. >> fair enough. i mean what it doesn't really go. it says there's 546 offensive posts, but it doesn't really give it. it doesn't give any examples in this case. and of course, i imagine there is going to be all this done is all this student is reporting them. >> so basically the victim is

still going to see them. they're still going to see them. they're still going to be up on the platform until the platforms administrators remove them. >> really? yeah >> really? yeah >> i'm just surprised that people hate tennis players that much. all right, daniella, the times has a silly article now about tech reading brains, which you know, is impossible. only clairvoyants can do that. >> yeah, i was seething about this a little bit earlier, >> how brands can read your mind to create the perfect advert . to create the perfect advert. now, i absolutely hate advertisers. and the guy in this article basically sat down and water. what was it ? an eeg water. what was it? an eeg headset so the advertisers could read his mind. headset so the advertisers could read his mind . and, you know, read his mind. and, you know, unfortunately he was a journalist, so it just came up. no signal. but it's like, why? like advertisers have data on everyone for everything. all of your online viewing history, all of your searches, every website you visit, every product you've purchased, your amazon alexa thing is, listening to everything that you do and what it does is it creates an online profile and then runs it through an algorithm to decide what products are marketable to you and that data. they sell it to other companies for billions. it is $1 billion industry, but even

all that data is not enough. they now want the literal thoughts that are in your head whilst you see the actual adverts themselves. yeah exactly. yeah. >> i mean, it's definitely a move on from where adverts seem to be 1020 years ago, where there was just a couple of people and they came up with an idea. >> do you not remember? >> do you not remember? >> there was an outcry when the tesco clubcard first claim came out all those years ago, and it could tell what you were, what you were buying, and people were like, oh, an invasion of privacy. it's the same with cctv. >> there was there was a famous story in america. it was target, which is like their version of tesco basically, i believe. so there was a young girl who was like, i think she was 15, sent products for pregnancy. the father was furious . r target father was furious. r target tracked her purchases and from the purchases like basically what was it a sensitive body wash, non perfumed products, different types of sanitary pads. it system predicted that she was pregnant and knew before her own father did well. >> now she can be sent adverts. yeah. >> well, that's that's how scary

this stuff is. >> it's kind of like minority report. >> it's an episode of black mirror is what it is like. yeah. they can, they can predict this stuff about you, though. >> what's interesting is also is also the death of advertising as we knew it because there used to be like advertising . people be like advertising. people would talk about some adverts. there was like the cadbury's one, the, you know, the eight drum, the guinness adverts, they were kind of an art form. >> the irn—bru adverts are monumental and all of that seems, i don't know, the last time i've heard someone mention an advert again yet we seem to be obviously more saturated than even >> or like the nascar for a couple hours called bland or whatever it was. >> yeah. show my age. yeah, yeah, exactly right . yeah, exactly right. >> bruce, the guardian has an interesting strategy for getting kids moving to have them chased by paedophiles . by paedophiles. >> it's funny, because i wouldn't have necessarily led with that, but i think that when i read that, that's what i felt. so the uk youth group seek volunteers as parents try to prize children away from their

screens. more than 170,000 children are on waiting list to join scouts and girlguiding, but the unfortunate thing is with any of these organisations they are having, and i think it's basically because of what you said , they're having trouble said, they're having trouble recruiting, adults . they've run recruiting, adults. they've run out of people to do that. they've run out of adults. >> oh, adults. >> oh, adults. >> okay. yeah. adults are paedophiles as well. >> i mean , you know, adults >> i mean, you know, adults i see i mean, this is the thing. >> i mean, my daughter goes to the girl guides and there is this thing i drop her off and i do check out who's running the classes. and she went away for a weekend . and i was freaking out weekend. and i was freaking out because i didn't know who's, you know, who's who's going to be taking my daughter off for that weekend. and that is a real fear. and i think after years of this kind of seeing these terrible stories not necessarily connected to guides or anything, but, you know, any kind of sport, you worry about these things and it sort of part it's part of the aether now. but it's sad because there is if there is

this dearth, and there's no doubt that things like the scouts and the girl guides, i think, do good. i mean , would think, do good. i mean, would you say, i don't know, i did the, the army cadets when i was youngen the, the army cadets when i was younger, not officially. >> yeah. yeah. no, it was basically it was sort of like boy scouts, but army based and themed. it was brilliant. i learned a lot of skills and it was a lot of fun, but it was run by volunteers. but i think the reason that adults aren't volunteering is because there's a cost of living crisis, and everyone has to work 60, 70 hour weeks to pay all the bills. so the weekend they just want to vegetate on the couch and they don't have time. and that's the problem we're getting is now parents aren't spending as much time with their children because they have to work so much because mortgage rates went up, electricity and gas went up, food's gone up. >> that's why i sent my daughter to the girl guide so i don't have to spend time with her. yeah, another parent to volunteer. what's raised in this article is this idea of, that you should be eligible for leave. so if you do volunteer, because i didn't realise this , because i didn't realise this, but if you, if you, there's various, like, school governors, councillors, trade unions, you

get time paid time off work. so to include volunteers for girl guides or scouts in this seems like a good use of money because it does have a positive impact on children. >> i wasn't actually aware of that either , that either, >> just last section to go and like, why, baby accidents, we have and shouldn't. oh, yes. yes. find out why you

welcome back to headliners. i'm bruce like, do you like this time story? >> like, do i really like. >> like, do i really like. >> so this is about academics saying, please stop saying the word like, no . word like, no. >> they said, please do say the word like, oh, stop . word like, oh, stop. >> so i've read this whole thing, right? >> okay. so i've done a whole thing on how everyone hates it . thing on how everyone hates it. >> i can't stand it. that's probably why i'm blindsided. but they're saying stop sneering at they're saying stop sneering at the word . like, there is a word. the word. like, there is a word. see that word annoys me, saying we americans with vocal fry. so thatis we americans with vocal fry. so that is the vocabulary equivalent of podcast. but they're saying, stop sneering at they're saying, stop sneering at the word. >> yeah. why is he saying stop sneering? >> i don't know, because i haven't read it in that way. >> so could someone explain it to me? >> did you happen to read this one? >>i one? >> i think i think it's a case like there was a there was a thing going around for a while where if you say things like, like, well, and all that. yeah apparently it was a sign of low intelligence. it means that you don't think fast and you're not able to articulate things, or

you just can't read what's put in front of you properly, or you're drunk. however, we are the wrong people to ask about the wrong people to ask about the king's english. >> well, well, what? >> well, well, what? >> he's arguing here. this is rob drummond. he's professor of sociolinguistics, but essentially what he's saying is that it's misogynistic to not like the word because it's mostly young women who use it, but also how it's so annoying. >> right . >> right. >> right. >> but also it's classist to criticise these filler words. they are the language is slippery, is the way is the way that he talks about written. the written word is different, but the way we actually speak should contain these filler words because that's just natural. that's the idea. anyway except when you're on television, a sad story. next in the guardian about why some babies are cursed at birth. >> well, i don't understand why this is a thing either, but basically, babies learn speech through mimicry and they pick up the cadence of it as well. like, i've got a three and a one year old and like, they might not know the words of a song and

they'll mumble along to the song, but they even get the cadence and the tune. >> but do they do it in a glaswegian accent? >> they do. like they've stopped a few people. but it's fine. no, but they do have they do have accents, scottish accents. but the problem as well is when they're watching a lot of television, sometimes a bit of american accent. yeah, can creep in as well . yeah. yeah. in as well. yeah. yeah. >> like, well, i mean, that's it. it's all, it's very it's all about musical. but in this, this is really because of this viral video. it's like 20 million views. but that's nothing to someone like yourself, obviously. but yes, having this baby essentially mimicking the scouse accent at that age and the idea is that you can even hear the stuff in the womb and you'll come out and you'll you'll come out and you'll you'll intonate it, but it's also the same with dogs that i know aren't children, by the way. >> but apparently dogs. >> but apparently dogs. >> every time we do a story about kids, you make it about dogs. >> well, that's maybe where my interests lie. hey, maybe if they put that on a shirt, i'd read it anyway, i digress, but dogs , apparently their bark is dogs, apparently their bark is a

mimicry of your regional accent. wherever that's. oh, so they can bark in different accents? >> yes, cows are supposed to be the same. they can move well all around the world. yeah, all around the world. yeah, all around the world. wow. so you can tell if like a, like a cows french or something, because it will go like me. like french or something, because it will go like me . like really bad will go like me. like really bad lemur. yeah. lemieux i've done a lap right. >> the guardian again. bruce. and this guy wants to go back 21 degrees of kevin bacon. >> right? okay, so this sucks. i want to go back to being famous, says kevin bacon has done done an experiment. so he was in footloose. >> he's in everything. >> he's in everything. >> he's in everything. >> he's well, the only reason he's in those videos is because he's in those videos is because he was ripped off by his finance manager. that's why we know more about him anyway . he is manager. that's why we know more about him anyway. he is a manager. that's why we know more about him anyway . he is a huge about him anyway. he is a huge star and the archewell prosthetic teeth, nose glasses to experiment with anonimity . to experiment with anonimity. and he found queuing and a lack of adoration challenging. it was interesting because the actress christina ricci said, i'm not going to lie, i like being famous. i like being well—respected. i like the

people don't laugh when they hear my name. i like being able to get restaurants at tables and discounts on clothes. my life is exactly how i want to be. why? when you have all that, would you want to? it was like jennifer lopez on a commercial flight. grew up. >> yeah, but it's interesting because a lot of some famous people go, oh, it's so hard, and you're, you're but you're you're arguably the most famous of us here. >> you're recognised in the street, i assume from time to time, as long as you have your cap on. >> i hate being famous. i actually don't like it. i don't like loads and loads of strangers. like knowing my private business. i remember oncei private business. i remember once i get approached in the street and the guy said, like hello to me and then said hello to my two kids, knew their names and i was like, i don't, i don't like that. so it's weird. see see if i could make the same money i am now and go back to being a complete nobody. i would do it really, genuinely. i don't like it. >> at least you are making money, right? count. there seems to be a bit of a chicken and the 999 to be a bit of a chicken and the egg element to this story. in the star which is kissing. >> kissing is great for weight loss and health expert says which will make fat virgins

everywhere weep. but i say, i mean, i would argue it's the cardiovascular exercise that leads to. yeah, yeah , they seem leads to. yeah, yeah, they seem to say that just kissing will make you thin, as opposed to like getting your 10,000 steps in a day. >> just a few random snogs. yeah yeah. >> i mean, i imagine it would release, you know, like the happiness chemical, you know, but they say that just hugging someone for like, a minute does the same thing and all that at all. >> it was weird when you did it, when you arrived at the studio. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i feel like we've met. we've met once before. >> your hair smells great, but basically what? >> excuse me, i actually, i was nice on the sweater by the side of the back, the side. >> so i've got the mullet . it's. >> so i've got the mullet. it's. >> so i've got the mullet. it's. >> yeah. no, i get, i get i think it looks good. >> yeah. i know, i think it's pretty good, right. the show is nearly over, so let's take another quick look at saturday's front pages . we have the front pages. we have the telegraph streeting nhs has broken the express. let us be gracious in defeat. the daily mail. now he has to deliver the

mirror. now we begin the iweekend. starmer tells uk politics can be a force for good and the daily star will switch to the five at the back and play jude as number 10. and those are your front pages. that's all we have time for. thank you to my guests, bruce devlin and the count, and we're back tomorrow at 11 pm. with nick dixon and paul cox and lewis schaffer. have a good evening. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar , sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello. very good evening to you. here's your latest gb news weather forecast coming to you from the met office. this weekend's looking relatively cool and showery for many of us, but before then, we do have some heavy, persistent rain around today. we've had a waving front across southern parts, bringing some wet weather here, and then a pulse of heavy, persistent rain is pushing its way north eastwards across england. as we go through this evening and overnight. clearing through though as we go through the early hours of tomorrow morning. that being said, there will be some heavy , persistent rain some heavy, persistent rain lingering across northern parts of scotland which could cause

some localised issues elsewhere, some localised issues elsewhere, some showery rain, but also some clear skies under which, away from the towns and cities, we're likely to dip into single figures. so a bit of a fresh start for the time of year. if we look in more detail and as i mentioned, there will be some heavy, persistent rain across some northern parts of scotland could see some high totals building up chance of a bit of flooding and some difficult driving conditions here. heading further south though, and there will be some showers, perhaps across parts of northern ireland and into northern england to watch out for some heavy, showery rain affecting more central parts of england and into wales too, and then across more southern parts of england. we're likely to have just a mixture of sunny spells and a few scattered showers around as we go through the day. some of the heavier, more frequent, showery rain should clear away of sorts, but there will be plenty of showers around as we go through the afternoon, particularly towards the north and west. further south and east, perhaps a greater chance of seeing something a little bit dnen of seeing something a little bit drier, but even here, 1 or 2 showers are possible. there will be some blustery winds around and with temperatures below

average for the time of year, it is going to feel relatively cool for most of us overnight. the showers should largely die out , showers should largely die out, so sunday is actually likely to start mostly dry for many places. but quite quickly we're going to see a rash of showers developing, many of us likely to catch some showers, and they could be heavy, possibly even thundery at times too. and temperatures still on the low side for the time of year. monday at the moment looks largely dry before more wet weather arrives later on. by by that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news
