some news into us. in the and some news into us. in the last hour or so. anneliese dodds has been replaced as labour party chairwoman by ellie reeves . party chairwoman by ellie reeves. that coming to us in the last houn that coming to us in the last hour. meanwhile, sir keir starmer says rishi sunak's plans to send migrants to rwanda is now dead and buried. speaking after the first meeting of his new cabinet, the prime minister ruled out the controversial scheme, which had failed to deport a single migrant. he also said labour's election victory has given them a clear mandate to govern in all four corners of the united kingdom . the united kingdom. >> look, the rwanda scheme was dead and buried before it started. it's never been a deterrent , look at the numbers deterrent, look at the numbers that have come over in the first six and a bit months of this yeah six and a bit months of this year. they are record numbers. thatis year. they are record numbers. that is the problem that we are inheriting. it has never acted as a deterrent , inheriting. it has never acted as a deterrent, almost the opposite, because everybody has worked out, particularly the gangs that run this, that the chance of ever going to rwanda was so slim, less than i.

>> the leader of reform uk, nigel farage, has reacted by claiming labour will struggle to deal with the issue of illegal immigration. >> what he said he would do it. at least he's kept a promise, i suppose. look, rwanda was never going to work. what keir starmer is proposing , which is, you is proposing, which is, you know, tackle the gangs well , know, tackle the gangs well, frankly, you know, the last government were doing that for the last few years. it's not going to work at the minute. it's wild and windy, but we do have some pretty strong first hand accounts that as soon as we get a calm spell, they'll be crossing the english channel in their thousands. and let's face it, keir starmer does not have a plan to deal with it. >> former chancellor jeremy hunt >> former chancellorjeremy hunt has ruled himself out of standing for the tory leadership. when asked, he told gb news that the time has passed. he managed to hold on to his seat. godalming and ash and has previously tried twice to become conservative leader. meanwhile, suella braverman has failed to rule herself out, simply saying there were no

announcements . and england are announcements. and england are through to the euro 2024 semi—finals after beating switzerland on penalties . and switzerland on penalties. and that was the fan reaction after the win. that was at a fan zone at boxpark in wembley. the game ended one all after extra time with both sides unable to break the deadlock. bukayo saka scored on the 80th minute to level it the prince of wales was among football fans rejoicing as england won, calling the game nail biting to the very end. in a post on social media, england fans say they're thrilled with what i saw. >> himars renee say finals. >> himars renee say finals. >> we're in the semis, we're gonna win it. we stressful to begin with, but first off was good and then second off yeah, a bit mad, but we got the result. that's the most important thing. we're all southgate lovers . we're all southgate lovers. we're all southgate lovers. we're like like you have to. he is our best english manager. he

just knows what to. >> since sir alf ramsey like getting it this far consistently. another semi—final. yeah. okay >> it's not inspiring football, but it gets the job done . but it gets the job done. >> those are the latest headunes >> those are the latest headlines for now i'm tatiana sanchez. now it's over to headliners for the very latest gb news. >> direct your smartphone. sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . forward slash alerts. >> hello and welcome to headliners. i'm nick dixon, taking you through tomorrow's top stories for the next hour. and i'm joined by the people's gammon paul cox. there he is. and the people's burden. it's louis schaefer i'm sorry, louis, i just i thought of that today and it seemed apt. >> people's birthday. >> people's birthday. >> i don't think people the people out there that are watching me, they don't feel that way. >> they feel i bring a breath of fresh air and light to this country and this station and the

both of you , our lives, the both both of you, our lives, the both of you. so i don't think they believe us. so you can say whatever you you can say whatever you you can say whatever you you can say whatever you want to say to me. >> say what i want. but the pubuc >> say what i want. but the public are with you. you're like nigel farage. the people have spoken. i do like your tie and jacket combo tonight. i never say that because it'll encourage you. yeah. this is. >> i thought that too. >> i thought that too. >> yeah, i got this at eastbourne. i was in eastbourne the last couple of days. a couple of days ago, and they were having a tennis tournament there and i thought, do they have a big tennis tournament there every year? and it was the same thing. it's like the pre—wimbledon thing. >> okay. is that all right? we've got to do the front pages. let's crack on. so the mail on sunday has brexit. now the retreat begins. the sunday express goes with pm rwanda plan dead and buried. the sunday telegraph blair ally drafted in to drive nhs reform. the observer starmer tells his cabinet now it's time to deliver on our promises. the sunday mirror. we've done it, which is about the football. and finally, the daily star sunday. yes, which is also about the football. those are your front pages. so starting with the

sunday mirror, paul, i believe it's coming home. well it's one step closer to home. >> let's put it that way. we've done it, said the sunday mirror. wonderful stuff, nick, as you were watching it, some people, if they were watching 75, may have actually heard me watching it because i was just on the other side of the studio door. there watching the penalties. a solid loud watching. yeah well, you know, they were collectively there as, you know, the production, hard working production, hard working production stuff out there. the forgotten few of gb news that work behind that glass wall there that were, were watching whilst they were working . and whilst they were working. and yeah, it was fascinating because it was a solid game. i mean , it was a solid game. i mean, it's uninspiring, you know, but that's, that's what we, that's what we want in england now don't we. much like keir starmer, it was a bit better than we've been playing. >> we changed the system up and he finally went with a back five. he put a bizarrely though, he played trippier again instead of trent alexander—arnold, which had people going mental. i mean, i don't want to make any legal claims, but has southgate killed someone on trippier knows where the body is? why does he always

go with trippier over trent, one of the best attacking right back in the game ? in the game? >> i don't know. >> i don't know. >> the answer. could have gone saka at left back. >> imagine if i did any answer that would be amazing. done. i found it very interesting that you changed the system but didn't change any of the players. so he he he both, you know, added konsa in centre back. he had to though because the non—footballing people are all just switching off. yeah he had to because of the suspension of course. but yeah, it's great news we're through to the semi—finals. it's on wednesday and we look forward to being because one thing the penalties were so perfect. >> you don't understand, louis. i've been watching these tournaments since 1990. as a young boy and 34 years of her. for me, waiting for us to win on penalties. yeah, we beat spain once in a quarter final, but we've lost. so many times. the penalties were so perfect, they were so calm. it was incredible. did you watch louis? >> i didn't watch most of it. i saw a little bit of it. i'm. you know what it is. i'm smarter than the people of this country. i know i'm going to be disappointed. there's something fundamentally wrong with english football. there's something the fact that they go in there , they fact that they go in there, they if we score a goal, then we go

on defence the rest of the game and we lose 2 to 1 or whatever it is, if they score a goal, that's the only chance we have of like fighting back. there's something . nothing. i love something. nothing. i love england and i think england football is an important thing. >> you bailed yourself out there? yeah very nice. i'm about to jump across myself. i mean, because this is our moment. lewis we can actually win. we've got a great team. spain. yeah, we've got a great team. yes, the manager's a bit cautious. we have a great team. we could actually do it. >> have has has england won since 1966. no no. and that's quite a number though i'm not being a hater. i'm saying as a as a person who's lived in this country for 24 years, which is a lot more than most people in this country, if 24 years is a long time is that i can honestly say, i think you should keep your breath. what does that say? >> don't. don't hold your breath . >> don't. don't hold your breath. yeah. what bothers me is it was 30 years ago. now i'm so old. it's almost been like another 30 years since that. well, it has, isn't it? >> yeah. was it 28 years since 1996? i was thinking this just the other day, actually. it's

the other day, actually. it's the same. it's mad. it's almost as long between 1996 and 2024 as there was between 96 and 66. we don't want to say that. >> let me add one more detail as well. jordan pickford had the penalties on which way to dive on his water bottle. did you see that? yes. we used to just think, oh we'll just we'll just wing it on the day. now we're so organised. we've got the list of where that's the kind of thing i would do. like which way. but but england save the penalty. >> but england has known that forever. they've known we implement. >> why don't we use the water bottle strategy earlier? anyway, let's move on to the mail on sunday. louis >> the mail on sunday, brexit. brexit now the retreat begins. this is from boris johnson. it's an article about by boris johnson. and i thought we'd heard the last of that guy, or at least for a couple of years. take a break, boris johnson and i mean i know is he working for us over here or us or me or not us over here or us or me or not me us over here or us or me or not me in between holidays, i think, and so that's that's the problem. the problem is that bofis problem. the problem is that boris johnson says that he i think we, we, we know what what keir starmer is going to do, which is he's going to bring us back in. we don't need to. >> yeah, i'm not sure it's an

actual boris article, but he has said it. we're on the road to serfdom under starmer. very boris. in another piece he said we were going to be the punk of brussels. what do you think, paul? are we going back to be the punk of brussels? yeah. >> i mean, like many tory aides, i like a bet. and if i was to bet, that's not too bad, i got it, i got it now with it. yeah i would bet that labour under keir starmer will take us closer to the european union and then we have been since we brexited he will see that as the solution , will see that as the solution, the solution to the problems with the eu, whether it's, you know, import export, whether it's immigration, it will be closer ties with the eu . and closer ties with the eu. and it's a bit like an old girlfriend, isn't it? you think you can go back, you see her in a bar and you know, you think we are getting on, and then you go on a date and you think that is why i hated her? >> very good analogy. yes. >> very good analogy. yes. >> and i don't think actually, i'm like, this is a new day. there's the election has just been two days ago. and i think, i think that everything we believe may not happen. i think i think people are beginning to realise that there is, like i

said this, i've said this two years ago when i first came on this show, is that there's a war going on. it's a war between team world, which is your drinks, ladies and gentlemen. yeah, it's between team world and the team nation or the sovereign state. and people are going to have to realise that if this is true . if keir starmer. this is true. if keir starmer. is that what he's what you say he is, then people have got to fight about it. and go. go, nigel. >> well, the fight was, this thursday and people have gone, you know, i mean , nearly 30% of you know, i mean, nearly 30% of the whole population voted for this . this. >> yes. well, get on to that later. hardly anyone voted for him, but he's in and i do believe, having spoken to people in the, in the blob and extended blob, that they all think they're going back into the eu, that's certainly what they want. so yeah, i wouldn't rule it out. i wouldn't rule anything out with this new labour government. but let's have a look at the sunday telegraph poll. yeah tories deserve to lose this braverman. >> so this is suella braverman, who happens to be my mp, mp for waterlooville and fareham, she's back in. so she said the conservatives deserved historic

election defeat, claims former home secretary. she said that the writing in the telegraph, the writing in the telegraph, the former home secretary accuses rishi sunak are pursuing an idiotic strategy and there's nothing new in this because she's been saying this on our television channel here, and, and to anyone that would listen to her. and she's right. you know, the strategy didn't work . know, the strategy didn't work. it clearly wasn't going to work, andifs it clearly wasn't going to work, and it's played itself out in the polls. what will be interesting to see how how the tories get back on their feet now, particularly with suella braverman still being an mp. >> yeah, it was extraordinary. her speech on the night, she said i'm sorry, you know, we've we've wronged you and we betrayed you. and yeah, i mean she was right. i mean, i was right as well. i mean, all these people saying, oh, we need penny, we need to tack back to the centre. but the voters don't want that from the tories. and i think suella braverman is right. that's my neutral opinion. what do you think? >> that's it. you're exactly right. is when you're in a war, there is no centre in world war ii. there's no like let's get let's move closer to hitler. well, let's switzerland. yeah,

whatever. today you beat today, the point is, is that what what the point is, is that what what the tories needed to do was to tack away from the centre and to go where? where reform is. there wouldn't be a need for reform if the tories were the tories. but the tories were the tories. but the tories were the tories. but the tories are dead and gone and there's no i'm sorry to say it, there's no i'm sorry to say it, there's no i'm sorry to say it, there's no place for the tories anymore. and we're just waiting for them to totally crumble. >> really? or will they adapt? and we can talk about this later a bit when they become more and more like reform, or will they go back to the centre, the so—called centre, which i don't believe we will. >> we will come to this a bit later on. i want to keep my powder dry. okay there is another story here though. >> let's do that then. >> let's do that then. >> blair, blair, ally drafted in to drive nhs reform. now, of course, we've known for some time that tony blair is in the background, much like, you know, obama, the obamas are behind, joe biden. i dare you. >> it's his wife. it's clearly his wife. yeah, yeah, they must be. >> yeah. his wife. yeah. it can't be him, can it? he doesn't know where he is. >> he's a hologram. >> he's a hologram. >> he's a hologram. >> he's apparently the first black woman to leave the us. so we wish. we wish biden well. yeah. so starmer turns the key to blair ally to drive through

nhs reform. this is alan milburn, known for his closeness to sir tony, supports greater private sector role in the health service . so it's going to health service. so it's going to be very interesting. it's not the thing that's interesting for me about this. it's like we've never done this before. of course we did a lot of this before between 1997 and 2010. didn't work out so well then. and in the 14 years since, it hasn't worked out very well. then someone's going to have to come up with a radical solution for the. >> but you, paul, are treating it like this is like a normal election. we're not a normal election. we're not a normal election. it's 1939, 1940. the war is the war is happening right now and only we don't see it. so you're sitting there saying, well, why can't he be normal? why? you know, some people are suggesting, let's go to the middle. there is no middle. there's only what we believe and what they believe, andifs believe and what they believe, and it's totally different. if you believe what they believe, go for it. >> but we're in the polarised world. yeah, you're actually right. but, thank you. we'll leave you people in the break to think about it. that is the front pages dealt with. but coming up, who will be the tory leader? is uk, the rightful opposition and why?

soon. welcome back to headlines. i'm nick dixon, still here with paul cox and jim enthusiast lewis schaffer. and let's get on and do the sunday express. he was just saying he hates the gym in the break. that was that joke . the break. that was that joke. let's do the sunday express. and one of the great things about democracy is you can be prime minister despite almost everyone not voting for you. paul >> yes. so awkward moment, robert peston tells keir starmer, 80% didn't vote for you . starmer, 80% didn't vote for you. so mr peston said you said yesterday your priority would be to govern for those who didn't vote for you. some 80% of the british voters didn't vote for you. that's including some that didn't vote for all. and to be fair, this is quite true of many governments. i mean, one thing we should say is the turnout was particularly low on thursday, and whilst they gained two thirds of the seats, they only had one third of the vote that the labour party, and what it's

going to i think what it's going to lead to is a more, a more and more radical, pro, sort of step forward from, from labour. i see, i see keir starmer now sort of really pushing his agenda because he's going to be empowered by this , whether, you empowered by this, whether, you know, he can pay a lot of lip service to the fact that you know, he's going to try and govern. for those that didn't vote for him, we've heard that before from literally every prime minister, every first of all, you're totally wrong about this. >> not wrong at all. you're totally wrong, paul . that's totally wrong, paul. that's wrong. yeah. and thank you for paying wrong. yeah. and thank you for paying attention to me over here. don't pay attention to him over there. he's is every every election in this in every election in this in every election . everybody doesn't have election. everybody doesn't have to vote except in australia , to vote except in australia, which is like horrible, right? it's like nobody can be forced to vote. and the truth is, so it doesn't matter whether whether 40% of the people vote, 30% or even whatever it is. the fact is, if it's important, people will go out and vote. >> it does kind of shatter the illusion of democracy a little bit. it's kind of like to me,

they've just changed management. there's been a lengthy interview process which they call an election, and they've just changed management. we didn't really have a say because it's only, you know, 80% of the country not voting for someone. and even if you look at the labour result compared to corbyn in 2017, it's lower in terms of the number of people voting. yeah, i think it's1% higher than corbyn in 2019. so everyone thought corbyn was a disaster. >> but starmer's scraped through, but that happened in america too, in the 19 1990s or something. i think jesse jackson, the great civil rights leader, black guy, he said, you know what? there's so many black people in the south of america who aren't voting. and, you know, alabama , mississippi, know, alabama, mississippi, whatever, georgia. and he says, i'm going to go down there and get black people to vote. and in the next election, 5 million more black people voted than than they had in the previous time. but there was no change because everyone else caught up. yes, because everyone said, wait a second, all those people are voting. we're going to go vote too. i think the most important thing to mention, though, is not to be overly sour about this. >> you know, the democratic process took place. it is. we all knew what the process was. we all voted and we've got what

the people wanted. now, if the people didn't get out and vote and 80% of them didn't vote for this leader and over the next five years, we see some radical ideology, we've only got ourselves to blame . there are. ourselves to blame. there are. he only really represents 20% of society. >> he doesn't. he doesn't . this >> he doesn't. he doesn't. this is like an opinion poll where you ask a thousand people something. it's not everybody, but those thousand people will say, hey, you know, this is what we want . if in five years, if we want. if in five years, if this guy keir starmer and whatever the rest of those labour people are, he doesn't he doesn't do the right thing, then they'll vote him out of office. we've got to move on. >> but i do think there's an argument in that poll actually that's just we know what the game is. it's like trump, hillary clinton won the popular vote, but that's not what the game is. so maybe it's irrelevant in that sense. but let's do the independent. and i personally feel sorry for starmer having to make the tough decision to raise our taxes. louis. >> yes, this is in the independent, which really isn't a newspaper anymore because there's no newspapering, there's no paper. it's all on. did you know that about the independent? i don't know why. >> i mean, exists in your mind. >> i mean, exists in your mind. >> it only exists. why don't

they. why don't they include some other local things? maybe you've got a website that they could find news and pull it anyway . anyway, so this is the anyway. anyway, so this is the news. you know, this is his first press conference. he's being all nice, and he's he's announcing all the stuff that we knew already, which is, you know, the rwanda thing. is it going to happen? we knew that or that or that, you know, that only 34% of the people voted for this guy or that rachel reeves is going to be the new female stuff that and that he has got no plan for mass immigration, and he didn't even include mass immigration as something that he should be concerned about. >> well, he's not concerned about it. i think keir starmer, quite happily, would have more mass immigration. he's paying a lot of lip service to the illegal immigration aspect, but he doesn't have any plan for that. keir starmer is the probably one of the first leaders to have ever been elected in this country, without saying exactly how he's going to do anything, he says things like, we're going to do it better, we're going to have less of this and more of that, and every time anyone's asked how he just pointed at something else

or talked to or talked about women having penises, he said he's in the crown prosecution service. >> he did x and y, and there's no reason we can't smash the gangs. we've smashed other gangs. we've smashed other gangs. so he thinks we're going to smash the gangs. but i do agree with you. i mean, everyone is just going, oh, we love starmer. people like ian dunt and marina thingy on twitter. everyone's just like, oh, he looks so statesmanlike. oh, he power suits him. it's all just nauseating. it reminds me of when biden got in and everyone was like, oh, the adults are back in the room. it's like, how did that work out for you? >> i think it's going to be a whereas, yeah, it's going to be a short honeymoon period, in my opinion. >> when he raises taxes or does austerity or whatever, and he's got this small percentage voting for him, it's going to turn ugly and that will happen. >> i mean, no, it's not. >> he doesn't have a small percentage. i mean, well, whatever he did that story, he's got people, people supporting him. the reason this is this has beenis him. the reason this is this has been is because they haven't they haven't shown the size of they haven't shown the size of the war, and the war is on one side. you've got nigel farage saying, we've got to stop immigration. and on the other side we've got labour who says, let's let people come in, everything's fine. >> okay, let's get on to farage and let's do the independent. sorry about that. it's nigel

farage. the true opposition to laboun farage. the true opposition to labour. paul. >> well, he could have been. i've just been for a few more votes. nigel farage just 364,000 votes. nigel farage just 364,000 votes shy of becoming leader of the opposition, analysis shows. so the insurgent right wing party, by the way, that's the words of the independent, not paul cox, won 14% of the votes but gained just five mps due to the even spread of its support. the conservatives won just 19% but gained 121 seats under the first past the post voting system and another statistic was really revealing. while labour's average votes per seat was 23,600, reforms average was 820,000, well, 821,000 per seat. the number crunching shows . so the number crunching shows. so we've got this is a very this is just an extension of what we've been talking about first past the post proportional representation, the percentage of the population. and louis and i could argue till the cows come home. but these are, these are the peculiarities that , that

the peculiarities that, that make our electoral and democratic system frustrating. this, this system. >> but it's the same every country in the world. you can't it's not it's not like a democracy the way we know it. i heard it explained that i don't remember how it was explained, but it was this is this is the way it is. it just has said to people, the tories are done . and people, the tories are done. and next time you've got to vote for, for vote reform or you've got to say, you know what, we made a mistake and we're going to make sure these tories do what we want them to do. >> and in the same way as you know, you've got you've got to handit know, you've got you've got to hand it to keir starmer and labour for winning. you've really got to hand it to farage here. he's taken a party from nothing to five seats and just three, three, 365,000 votes away from being the actual official opposition in the united kingdom. >> i think that's huge. i mean, as we said, that's not the game the other parties were playing. it's first past the post, but it's pretty huge. it took the snp 20 years to do this. alex salmond said himself and it's question is now can they get more professional like farage says ? well will that make them

says? well will that make them too bland though, because they are different from the other parties? willa sort are different from the other parties? will a sort of, are different from the other parties? willa sort of, you know, rigorous vetting process make them too much like the other parties? >> you have to play by the rules of the game. that's in front of you. there's no other way around it. whether that means they become slightly blander and less avant garde because they have to play by avant garde because they have to play by the rules, then so be it. >> no it won't. no, it won't. >> we. >> we. >> argumentative i know sorry, because you're facing you're facing this guy. you got to pay attention to me. >> you've barely spoken about ten minutes. we're listening to your nonsense. but we've got to move on. but i do like the fact that paul cox is referring to himself in the third person. that's how you know he's a true populist leader. let's do the sunday telegraph. and angela rayneris sunday telegraph. and angela rayner is now one of britain's most powerful women. good thing she's such a mature and balanced statesperson. >> yes, this is angela rayner. she's the woman who basically was a bit fraudulent with her. was she fraudulent? accused of being fraudulent ? being fraudulent? >> yeah, i'd say, possibly . being fraudulent? >> yeah, i'd say, possibly. i think she definitely lived in the correct house that she said, that's my opinion. yeah. >> she lived in one of those two houses. she's going to be. she's going to be the new deputy, the new deputy prime minister, which is i would think the more

important job is the is the chancellor of the exchequer is more important. >> yeah. but some people are claiming for some reason now that rain is more important, even though everyone knows chancellor is the second most important because of the way the labour party i did not read this and i'll tell you why i didn't read it, because any time they say, oh, she's one of the most powerful women, she's the second in control. >> she's one of those whatever it is, she's she's the new british kamala harris. >> i love that american confidence. i did not read this, but i'm going to go on live tv anyway and talk about it. why not? well, look, paul, i mean, what do you think? i mean, it, there's all this stuff about, oh, we can't be mean to angela rayner because that's classist. well, i'm from the north. i went to a comprehensive school. my family come from a humble background. i say angela rayner is pretty awful on her own merits. a lot of the time. it's nothing to do with class, nothing to do with class, nothing to do with class, nothing to do with being anti northern. that's one point. second point i'd like to make quickly is everyone's saying, oh, this is a great cabinet because they've been on social housing and they've left school at 16. and all this. i don't see at 16. and all this. i don't see a necessarily a link between that and being great rulers of the country. i think we were better off when it was ten blokes who'd never eaten a meal

without shots still in it, who'd only eaten grouse their whole lives. what was wrong with that system? that's just my view. what do you think? >> well, it's an interesting point, and i think the bears a lot of merit in that. but for this reason, we focus now in 2024, much on where people have come from, what the colour of their skin is, what their sexuality is, what they get up to at the weekend and that seems to at the weekend and that seems to be the big part of any story. what i'm much more interested aboutis what i'm much more interested about is what people are going to do with this power. i don't care where they've come from. theidea care where they've come from. the idea that it makes a better cabinet because they've been in social housing. i grew up for the first eight years of my life on a council estate. i'm telling you, if the cabinet had been made up of people on that street, we'd be in a really bad position right now, 100, you know, and the same way as it would be if it was taken from any demographic. it's about meritocracy and the best people getting the right jobs. now you're not going to always get that in politics, because it's votes are very much based on emotion. i want to see angela raynen emotion. i want to see angela rayner, take this power and do something very good with it, because whoever's in government, as long as if they do, well, then we do well as a country. but i fear with angela rayner

that she's like that fearsome school mum at the school gates who's very much interested in her own voice. >> you know what? you're so wrong. you were really wrong and you're wrong too. the fact is, is angela rayner is going to do what's for best that side, that we're at war, that side. the team world side. she believes in social housing. she believes in the nhs, she said. all that everyone does know, everyone doesn't. rees—mogg know and i don't either. and i've been living here 24 years or 24 years. >> some balance. she doesn't know the difference between abstract and abject. so there is that. >> yeah. i'm sorry. maybe you and your comprehensive school, you learned about that. but but at the end of the day, at the end of the day, she's on their team. if you're on their team, you're going to be happy with her. if you're not on their team, if you're not on their team, if you're not on their team, that is true. >> anyone agrees with that. it's partisan politics. all right. thatis partisan politics. all right. that is it. for part two. but coming up, are the civil service getting above their station. plus why

welcome back to headliners. let's crack on with the sunday times. and one thing i've really missed is tory leadership contest. >> yes, absolutely. if there isn't one every six months. nick, i really don't feel satisfied, seven survivors ready to fight for the conservative leadership. so there are obviously seven conservative mps who are considering running for the leadership. they are amongst them. kemi badenoch suella braverman, priti patel, robert jenrick, james cleverly, tom tugendhat and victoria atkins. however, i think there's just a two horse race there. if there was to be one and that would be between kemi and suella for me, i can't see it being anyone else. maybe priti patel, but i see it being those three and three women as well, a women of the leader of the opposition. be interesting to see what keir starmer has to say about that whilst he's shouting at a woman every wednesday. but we love that because we're all feminists here. exactly. feminists of colour. all of us. yeah, it's definitely a problem for the tories, because what we're going to have is much like the labour did in 2010, where you ended up

with the miliband brother fight, where, you know, david miliband was clearly the better politician. but ed miliband, that was awful. >> imagine knifing your brother and then you're like, oh, this is the guy i want to lead the country. the brother knife. >> i genuinely believe david miliband, by the way, was a much better politician and would have been a strong leader in the labour party to go into exile, taken by a obviously knifed in the back by his own brother that they. i'm sure i'm sure that hasn't caused a problem at christmas or anything like that. but what it does do is it creates this division straight away, because there will be a lot of divisiveness attached to the tory race, because there is a split in the tories, there are people who think we should rush towards that. they should rush towards that. they should rush towards the centre ground , not towards the centre ground, not we should rush towards the centre ground. and others think that maybe they need to lean towards the right because, of what's going to be happening with labour. >> okay. >> okay. >> this is you agree? no, i don't agree with you, i don't agree, i personally, i can't listen, i don't know where this is true or not, but i think the tories are skunk, are skunk skunk sunk. sunk. they're they're i think that they're done.i they're i think that they're done. i mean i think the people i mean there's badenoch lady i

like a lot and, and even priti and priti patel i like but the truth is they they didn't do their job when they were supposed to get it done. and they need to be crushed. >> the tories, you're a zero seats guy. >> i'm a zero seats. the end of the tories give the stuff to to the tories give the stuff to to the reform give the stuff to somebody who cares. there's a war going on. were you in favour of the war? no. you weren't. so you have got no place in that war cabinet, i see. >> well, i don't know. i mean, the tories probably won enough seats to just survive, didn't they? probably. that's the annoying thing, actually. >> 100. >> 100. >> yeah. they will like like the liberal democrats, they've been around for 100 years without doing anything a hundred years. and they will never do anything. >> they're like the everton weren't they. would you perpetually stay stay up every yeah >> yeah. so basically cleverley is a sort of unifier candidate. tugendhat's a bit one navalny for me i'm team suella really. but there's kemi is all right. but there's kemi is all right. but as it says here kemi would start a fight in an empty room. i'm sure that's very unfair, but one tory figure has said that farage also claimed she was very unpleasant to him. so i don't

know if that's an issue, but lots of people have been unpleasant to nigel. >> how dare you? they have but imagine. >> yeah, kemi is basically anti nigel be nothing. >> nigel, we're not on first name terms. she never calls me paul name terms. she never calls me paul. but, we i've never seen him be anything other than ultra civil to every person he's ever met. even when i've seen him being castigated outside the studios here by a member of the pubuc studios here by a member of the public purely for being the leader of brexit. >> even. nice to josh howie. so it's extraordinary. but yeah, i don't know. i'm quite team suella, but suella is sort of more team farage. she was, you know, she was praising farage the day before the election, whereas kemi has been very sort of like let's keep out farage from the tories, let's clear line there. >> but you know what? we you know what the tories need. they need, you know what? they would need, you know what? they would need me. because i'd say you can't be a tory and you can't be a tory because we're at war. and we need people who are willing to carry, metaphorically, a gun to carry, metaphorically, a gun to fight for our side of the war. if you don't believe in it, you can join the americans in their guns. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> no, i'm glad it's metaphorical, because he's at war about ten times now. we are not, in fact, at war. ladies and gentlemen, don't don't run around. don't run screaming out

the house. let's do the independent and the latest thing to be racist is checks, notes, nursing and midwifery. >> lewis . yes. >> lewis. yes. >> lewis. yes. >> public safety endangered by quote unquote toxic nursing regulator as staff gaslighted after raising alarm. and this is saying that it's a it's a dangeh saying that it's a it's a danger. our health care is a dangeh danger. our health care is a danger. why is it in danger. because there's racism and sexism in amongst the nursing field. so there's no danger to anybody. it's just there's not not a nice place to be a nurse or, you know, that's what it's saying. there are 800,000 nurses in this union called the nmc, which is called the nursing and midwife referee midwifery, something rifle. and you know, granted it is hard to be a nurse, but the fact is the is the nhs is not is not fit. well it is a war. >> he's having a biden moment. let's see. >> no i don't i don't know how far to go because, because because this is a non—news. this is a non—news story is what i'm saying okay, paul, anything more

coherent? >> i think he's wrong. i don't know why, but i'm pretty sure he is. >> no. you don't disagree with me. >> oh, yeah. sorry, i forgot. i don't know how to do it, lewis. actually, some of the points you made were lucid, i wonder whether people are now starting to conflate racism with anything that they disagree with. you know, i don't think we are any any more racist than we've ever been.in any more racist than we've ever been. in fact, i think we're a much more cohesive country in many respects, particularly when it comes to with regards to race than we have been ever. however, there are some bad actors that find it incredibly convenient to pull the race card at every possible turn because the narrative supports them. >> yeah, but how does this hurt the nhs? how does that racist nhs? >> you can't hurt a dead horse, but the horse is lying on the floor dead. there's nothing you can do to hurt it anymore. the nhs is a dead horse . it needs nhs is a dead horse. it needs replacing with something alive. >> okay, i don't, i don't. first of all, that's another subject. i don't think we need an nhs. i don't think, i don't even think we need dandelions and meat.

>> fix everything. >> fix everything. >> it can not. dandelions stay away from dandelions. yeah, i agree with that. >> away from dandelions. >> away from dandelions. >> i don't think we need an nhs. i think i think we need people need to be able to take care. look at how great i look. why do i look so good? >> well, we've gone on to lewis's narcissism, so let's move on and do the telegraph. and there's a new iranian president. apparently he's just a chilled out entertainer. paul, a chilled out entertainer. paul, a moderate guy. >> i can't wait to meet him. >> i can't wait to meet him. >> reformist masoud pezeshkian . >> reformist masoud pezeshkian. i think i'm right in saying position, wins iran's presidential election. so he's a moderate, and we don't know what that really means. but in iranian terms, i'd be surprised if that wasn't slightly right of adolf hitler. the moderate has pledged to open his country to the world, but questions remain oveh the world, but questions remain over, how it will stand up to its supreme leader, the supreme leader of iran. obviously being the ayatollah. now, it doesn't matter what this guy says . and matter what this guy says. and actually, it's quite encouraging to hear someone in iran saying, perhaps we need to open up a little bit more. perhaps we

don't need to be this closed state. that seems to be sort of the bad guy in the middle east, stroking cat behind every wall that's going on, i don't think. i think it would be good to change that. that's the westernised view, of course, and they won't agree with me, but i don't think it matters who, the, the president is of iran. it's who the ayatollah is. and the ayatollah is also a very religious man. so it's based very much on, the words of the quran. so we are we're iran , and quran. so we are we're iran, and the rest of the world are at the behest of the quran. >> yeah. i mean, it says he's a moderate, but then he does say later in the piece, he's repeatedly pledged to follow mr khamenei's policies. i believe in the supreme leader. i am totally following him. >> yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not it's not a system. he's you're both right. oh, my god, it's not a system like we know a system. it's a totally different system. but eventually what i think's going to happen is i think people need to know about iran. iran is one of these great countries, historically based countries. it is. it's a great country. iran, great guy. and someday, and someday they will

throw off the ayatollahs. they'll throw them off. and this is this is all from their from a position of power . people don't position of power. people don't like them. a lot of people don't like them. a lot of people don't like them. >> they'll throw off the yoke of the ayatollahs. >> all right, so you know it better than i know it. but that's. but this doesn't say anything . anything. >> okay? all right. yeah. >> okay? all right. yeah. >> you want more? >> you want more? >> that's fine. we've done probably too much on that one. let's do the sunday telegraph. and a civil servant said he will work in partnership with the government, thus shattering our illusions that the civil service just do what they're told. paul. yeah, exactly. >> excuse me. top civil servant criticised for partnership with minister phrase. so while he used the same term about the tory predecessors james cleverly and grant shapps, critics said his language suggests that the civil service is working at the same level as ministers instead of carrying out their instructions . so i did a i did instructions. so i did a i did some research for this because i've often wanted this to be the case. we have this discussion all the time about civil servants and civil servants, on the whole, are the employees of ministers. they very much are. there are some nuance to that, but on the whole they very much

are. so the hierarchy is minister then civil servant, no matter what grade they are, it doesn't feel that way. and the difference is of course, because they are permanent secretary, you know, they're in place the whole time. so they're there irrespective. that's the whole point of the civil service. there irrespective of party politics and the fact that he's saying we're working in partnership with, well, i think it's probably i doubt he misspoke. i'm sure that's what he means. but he said it before about cleverly. >> so it's just something he says so. >> but whether they should be saying that i don't know. >> i mean, well, so what are you saying? should they be saying it or should they not be, should they be doing it? >> i can say i find it a bit weird. i mean, you had the home office not going along with what suella braverman wanted. we all heard you've had the home office allegedly saying that farage should be arrested or assaulted, so they seem to just be a bit rogue, do what they want, that's my perception of it. i mean, i tell you what, as well, neema parvini on twitter described it very well. he said that the civil service or the general governance apparatus is like a fingerprint access machine that

when the tories try and use it, it won't work. but it only worked for labour. i thought that was quite good. >> no, it is, it is a wrong thing. and it's the same thing that trump has been fighting and, and, and our people who believe in our team are fighting in america and they're fighting here that that the that the government, whatever we would call it, the government. but these people working as a minister or for the minister elected non—elected, it's a rogue state, it's the deep state. and they need and they and they should be they all should be dumped. well, i guess they should lose their jobs. >> sorry, lose. but very quickly, let's see. the sunday telegraph and labour have only beenin telegraph and labour have only been in a couple of days and they already want to release all they already want to release all the prisoners. is that right, lewis? >> yes, that is right. because they. because who else is going to vote for them? but i don't know. that's bad. is that bad? who's going to vote? >> it depends on what you mean. >> it depends on what you mean. >> it's the boss of a shoe repair chains. which chain? which employs former convicts, says the dutch solution has enabled them to shut, half their jails. and so what they're saying is, and said, we want to build mini prisons, but the guy who they hired this guy, james timpson, he's the timpson guy.

he's the guy who sells, who sells louis schaefer , who sells sells louis schaefer, who sells louis schaefer his keys for £6 or £7, £8 a key. when i remember when it was like £2, he cried out, but basically, paul, he's saying a lot of them don't need to be there. >> release some of them. they could work on things we've just seen, but kelly, have your say in el salvador has released a load of prisoners to work on the roads. could it could that work? >> i'm not saying it couldn't work. it could work. it's just. it seems an odd thing to say from the start. it may have been misconstrued of course. we're all sitting here, particularly on our side of the argument, looking at labour going, of course they're going to let out, >> how could it be misconstrued to do the dude has air in here, please. you know, he says he says this guy not being allowed to finish a point, apparently. lewis host. but let him. >> i'm just saying over the break anyway, the guy actually works one coherent thing that's i'll let him say. >> i will say nick is the host and we should go to a break. >> okay. nailed it. all right. that's part three. nailed >> but i think when you're sitting here, that's a problem. see, andy murray's wimbledon trouble for larry the cat and how

welcome back to the final section of headliners. let's get into it with the sunday express. and it's a nice change to have a woman ruining a man's sporting career. paul, see what i did ? career. paul, see what i did? yeah, it was topple. it was edgy. >> andy murray's mum blasts emma raducanu emma raducanu for ruining son's final wimbledon appearance. so andy murray's mum, of course, judy murray claimed that it was astonishing for emma raducanu to pull out of the women's mixed doubles. she said she had a stiff wrist and she wanted to concentrate on her solo. >> she could have come up with something a bit better than that, a stiff if you're going to, like, ruin andy murray's great farewell, at least say you've got a broken leg or something, don't you think? play it up a bit more. >> well, the point is, the point is that andy murray's mom, by getting upset at emma raducanu or whatever her name is, is going to, is going to make people remember that andy murray that that was the last his last

thing, last action was his mum getting was his mom taking the ball away? >> was his first and last action brand. it does feel like she's the sort of mum that has always controlled him, perhaps, advises his wife. how best to love him. >> and the truth is, chinese olympians looking going. she's a bit much . how can stopping you? bit much. how can stopping you? >> and the thing about it, the thing about the thing about tennis, is tennis is the worst sport in the entire world. i love tennis, i know you do. people who like tennis. exactly. well, you prove the point. people who are extremely egomaniacal, who don't want any mish. >> yes, calling me egomaniacal, i love must be pete sampras, i love football, i love football, and british english football and american football because because there are tons of your fans. >> you got to go to the game with tons of everybody cares. but with with tennis, you say he's sitting in alone. >> he's responsible for tennis, though, don't you? >> he's responsible for liking tennis. that says everything you need to know. >> i'm a dangerous loner. louis schaefer's got me there. well, we love andy murray. he's had a great career. emma raducanu fair play great career. emma raducanu fair play to her as well. she's got her singles career to worry about, so i do understand it for

balance, though, she has just ruined a great man's day. but hey, that's what women do. terrible ending for that. i didn't mean to say that. let's do the daily star sunday and larry the cat may not be able to stay at 10 downing street, which is a pity because he received a higher percentage of the vote than keir starmer. >> i heard, oh, that's not true anyway. >> and i don't even like harris. i don't like anyway, larry the cat could be in trouble in number 10, because keir starmer brought his own pet, which is a dog. he's a dog guy as well. >> yeah, he's a tough dog. >> yeah, he's a tough dog. >> and you know what it is. and it's like, it's like, oh my god. they actually actually in this, in this article, which is in the daily star, they actually asked a dog and cat expert, an expert, whether cats like me with dogs, that's, that's yeah, they got some new information. >> i know it's great, but i mean, larry fended off a huge fox apparently in 2022. i thought that was jolyon maugham, but apparently it was larry. but there is going to be problems, paul there is going to be problems, paul, because cats are territorial, massive german shepherd. i mean, it's all going to kick off. yeah. >> no, they're all going to live together though aren't they? i'm sure that it's quite small. flat. yeah, i don't know. but larry's barely in the flat. he's

always mooching around trying to get a bit of press action, killing pigeons. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you know, he's doing. he's got business to get on with, isn't he? he's got to wander around making sure that he, you know, takes a leak on peston's leg or whatever he does. and, you know, the german alsatian in downing street. nick, think of it. yeah. >> okay. >> okay. >> is that the kind of dog i never happened if we were. >> well, it's classic starmer, isn't it? trying to bring us back towards europe. yeah. anyway, let's do the daily star sunday again. weirdly. and sometimes we all need an emotional support banana paul. >> yes, yes we do. truth behind that iconic picture of bloke walking a banana on a leash. it's not that iconic really, because i had to look it up, but a 2022 reddit post, still divides opinion today. after a bloke was snapped walking a banana on a leash around a around a road in the uk. i mean, we've all done it. yeah, we've all done it. and apparently there's quite a very simple explanation. it isn't . explanation. it isn't. >> he's mental. >> he's mental. >> yeah, that's the simplest because the rest of it's absolute nonsense. the explanation is that it's a, it's a pet banana. yeah. and this pet banana does help people with

social anxiety. >> it isn't the pet banana . >> it isn't the pet banana. >> it isn't the pet banana. why don't you read the article? >> read the article. >> read the article. >> the words in the article. what did it say? >> you do something ridiculous to get over your social anxiety, but that doesn't make it a pet. it's on tv. >> yes, exactly. i could be. you are right about that. that's pretty funny. >> that was quite good. >> that was quite good. >> that was that was though it is good at the end, like england today. >> sorry. is it? >> sorry. is it? >> it is. it's like if i'm saying something like this you could say something to anybody and then you can go through life in a better way. >> okay, lewis. because i think you'll like this one. let's do the independent. and a man has radically slowed down his ageing process. on the downside, he has to eat vegan food. yes, yes. >> this is this guy, brian thompson. everybody knows about this guy. they're acting like this guy. they're acting like this is like, brand new. this quy's this is like, brand new. this guy's been doing like, for two years. he spent £2 million a years. he spent £2 million a year and he's 46 and he thinks, look how young look i look. he looks he looks like a child. he looks he looks like a child. he looks like a child. if a child had a curable disease, don't. and he actually he actually stole his kid's blood. i saw a documentary on the guy . stole his kid's blood. i saw a documentary on the guy. he's absolute. >> he probably didn't. >> he probably didn't. >> people want to know how i

showers mainly coming into western parts of england and into wales and northwestern england as well, but still temperatures around 10 or 11 degrees. but under the clear skies across scotland could dip down into the mid single figures. so to start sunday morning then we've got plenty of showers coming in towards the southwest of england into wales. these could be heavy at times as well. driest further towards the east with some bright sunshine here but some heavy showers , here but some heavy showers, possibly thundery across north western england as well . sunny western england as well. sunny spells, scattered showers across northern ireland, but drier but fresher to start on sunday morning across parts of scotland, with some outbreaks of rain across orkney and shetland as we go through sunday morning and into the afternoon. those showers will continue to push their way eastwards, turning heavy at times and becoming more widespread as we go through the day. could turn thundery at times across southern parts of scotland. northern england and central england as well. but we

have got lighter winds out there compared to today, so that will help lift the temperatures just slightly, perhaps feeling a bit warmer 19 or 18 degrees, but a little bit warmer in scotland to a fresh start to monday morning. plenty of dry weather. first thing we'll start to see some showers breaking out across northern parts of england and scotland, but another area of low pressure towards the south, bringing cloudier skies and outbreaks of rain and that sets the scene really through monday, tuesday and wednesday, with outbreaks of rain temperatures generally around average. >> looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers sponsors of up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb
