before flying off to the summit. earlier, sir keir spoke to reporters my message is very, very clear that this nato summit is an opportunity for allies to stand together to strengthen their resolve, particularly in light of that appalling attack against russian aggression. >> i am pleased to have the early opportunity to affirm and reaffirm labour's strong support, unshakeable support for nato. we're a founding member. it's now the 75th anniversary, but this is an opportunity to send that message in relation to russian aggression wherever. but that attack last week was appalling. and so the message is even more important now than it was before. >> well , was before. >> well, earlier on in the day, mps were sworn in in parliament as labour ministers sat on the government front benches for the first time in 14 years, 643 mps gathered ahead of parliament's state opening, which is slated for next week. sir keir starmer spoke for the first time as well

at the despatch box as prime minister >> now, as in any new parliament, we have the opportunity and the responsibility to put an end to a politics that has too often seemed self—serving and self—obsessed , and to replace self—obsessed, and to replace that politics of performance with the politics of service , with the politics of service, because service is a precondition for hope and trust, and the need to restore trust should weigh heavily on every member here, new and returning alike, we all have a duty to show that politics can be a force for good. so whatever our political differences, it's now time to turn the page unite in a common endeavour of national renewal and make this new parliament a parliament of service . service. >> well, in response to that, rishi sunak, now the leader of the opposition, returned the sentiment. >> can i start by congratulating the prime minister on his

election victory.7 and as he takes on his formidable task, he and his family deserve the good wishes of all of us in this house. now, in our politics, we can argue vigorously as the prime minister and i did over the past six weeks, but still respect each other and whatever disputes we may have in this parliament. i know that everyone in this house will not lose sight of the fact that we are all motivated by our desire to serve our constituents, our country, and advance the principles that we honourably believe in. >> well, and he's away from politics. dyson is to cut up to 1000 jobs as part of a global restructuring programme. the wiltshire based appliance manufacturer employs about 3500 people across the uk, and is best known for the invention of the bagless vacuum cleaner , the bagless vacuum cleaner, innovative fans and hairstyling products . now the england squad products. now the england squad were training today ahead of their euro 2024 semi—final tomorrow. gareth southgate's side will face the netherlands in dortmund and tonight spain beat france two one, so if

time, and i thought we did such a good job that the news was oven a good job that the news was over. i thought, yeah, that would be it. >> it's done now, but they're still firing stuff at us. >> why can we just take a moment, by the way, to appreciate polly middlehurst? i mean, what a pro. yeah. reading the news like that, i mean, unbelievable. she's like an asset to gb news polly for you to aspire to. >> paul. >> paul. >> i'm never going to aspire to polly's levels, but not tonight anyway. >> that's the chit chat that we. let's have a look at wednesday's front pages. the times leads with starmer is playing with fire on defence spending. the guardian has starmer calls on nato to raise defence spending. a similar headline the daily mail has britain's most despicable drink driver. the telegraph has. prime minister could boost the size of the armed forces. the express has cleverly. labour has hung a huge open sign on white cliffs of doven open sign on white cliffs of dover. i should point out there that cleverly is the name of james cleverly. it's not a clever thing to do to hang that sign on the white cliffs of dover. sign on the white cliffs of dover . finally, the daily star dover. finally, the daily star has golf. that's a bit of football, i think. and those we

are front pages. and let's have are front pages. and let's have a closer look at those front pages, starting with the guardian. kerry, what have they got, >> we're being told that starmer is calling on nato to raise defence spending. >> spending not spending. but i think spending would be better as we slide slowly towards third world war at the moment. >> and a third world country. >> and a third world country. >> yeah , totally. >> yeah, totally. >> yeah, totally. >> and, he's going to use nato's nato's 75th anniversary. so happy birthday to nato. nato's 75th anniversary. so happy birthday to nato . and he's happy birthday to nato. and he's just on his tour of america where he's going to meet the president , who he will talk president, who he will talk about these matters with. >> and, president biden will mutter something and then start running on about golf and yeah, whatever else it is . so, and whatever else it is. so, and also he's announcing a strategic strategic defence review. >> he's using this as a way to

to, delay the any sort of increase in defence spending. >> paul. he's saying, i've got to wait until after this review, and people are making the point that putin won't wait. it's afraid he's not going to wait until, you know, the public finances are in the right state to invade. he'll do it. do it when he wants to. so that's a good point, leo. >> the fact that the fact that sir keir starmer on honestly, the most boring person you've ever met in your life, is saying we, you know , nato should spend we, you know, nato should spend more when he is not yet declaring what we should spend on defence. >> yeah, that takes some brass , >> yeah, that takes some brass, doesn't it? >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> spend more. what are you doing? are we going to wait and see us? >> but you spend more boxt boiler. >> biden will wait, though. >> biden will wait, though. >> really? i mean, it's going to take a yearjust >> really? i mean, it's going to take a year just for >> really? i mean, it's going to take a yearjust for this review. >> so it might be that if we ask him nicely. >> well, by which time i guess trump could. well be in the white house, especially if biden's still trying to run for president, or if he's replaced by kamala. so i mean, if trump's in the white house, i mean, we don't exactly know for sure how trump is going to be when he's in power, but he's certainly making a lot of noise. we

remember him, telling telling, putin that he's got a bigger button. >> so let's see how that goes. yeah, but he's also he's made a lot of noises. >> i mean, he's pushed a more pro—russian, sort of, movement in the, in the republicans. he certainly feels that nato themselves should pull their weight more. >> yeah. when he was in power for those four years previously, he was questioning, you know, how much the us were donating basically towards nato and what they were getting for it when everyone else was lagging behind. >> and, you know, you can look at that and go, oh my god, you know, what a ridiculous thing to say. trump's a narcissist. >> he's an absolutely mental quy- >> guy- >> but quy- >> but what you know, if that was any one of us and we were contributing our own money to nato, we'd want and let's just say leo was putting in £1,000 a month and you and i were bunging in £20, it wouldn't. realistic. yeah it, to be fair, is about accurate. yeah. then leo would have every right to say, hang on a minute, what's going on? >> and i think it's right for, for europe and for britain to be more self—sufficient when it comes to defence. we can't just rely on america to save us from every. >> no, we're not ready for a war right now . we're not at all.

right now. we're not at all. >> we are. >> we are. >> no, i'm not on. i'm not. i'm sleepy. >> i'm ready to talk about a war, spike. and we're moving on, what's, what's on the front cover of the times? >> the times? but not take swipe at sunak over election decisions. kemi badenoch use the first meeting of the shadow cabinet to criticise rishi sunak's election campaign, amid concerns of some of her colleagues that the that we failed to grasp, they failed to grasp the magnitude of this landslide victory by labour. and she's not wrong, is she, you know, there's been some critics of sunak's plan when he called it what he did, when he called it, and it's all bad out in the fact that labour have got this landslide, but it's also the sort of thing the future leader of the tory party would say, isn't it? yeah she's very much she's very much talking from a perspective, i think of, of leader and saying, look, you know, we need to do better. it must be weird being rishi sunak at the moment. you've just got to sit in there and get pummelled every day. yeah. because he's had a few years of

it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah he has i mean oh he's such a cook. >> oh i thought you're going to say something else. yeah >> i was reaching for the button . >> i was reaching for the button. >> i was reaching for the button. >> it just i mean sorry guys . i >> it just i mean sorry guys. i in my head i was thinking i'm going to slow that down. just to panic you both. yeah. no >> in sunak's defence, carrie. oh, there's a defence. well, there is a defence because he he called an early election because he thought it would mean that reform wouldn't have enough time to get their get their act together, get enough mps, even with the power of ai and have enough candidates to run in the election actually reform played a blinder and took a lot of votes , took a lot of votes from votes, took a lot of votes from the conservatives, took a lot of votes from labour as well. >> it wasn't a good gamble in so many ways. and i think also she's right to say that she took a swipe at sunak, but unfortunately that is just a metaphor, and she mentions his returning early from the d—day commemorations, which was a ridiculous thing to do. >> it was it was terrible on

image. yeah. and a terrible you've got free a free pr opportunity with the leaders of the free world with joe biden, with everybody the most, the biggest ones. >> yeah . and instead he turns it >> yeah. and instead he turns it down for an interview with itv. i know itv is good, but i mean, come on, it's no gb news. >> i like the fact that the enormity of the conservatives defeat, and it's just nice to see someone using the word enormity properly. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah, absolutely. yeah. enormous rather than something awful but absolutely correct . so awful but absolutely correct. so oh lovely work carrie for that. >> and moving on. what's in the front cover of tomorrow's telegraph? carrie >> well, you know, there's all kinds of things. >> would you like? >> would you like? >> to talk about, tell you that, this is the, the new housing minister, matthew pennycook, a great name, and, he's he's basically stood against plans to build a high rise apartment, they're saying in his backyard, he's called it wholly inappropriate, which, of course , inappropriate, which, of course, goes against everything the government is trying to say at the moment . the new chancellor, the moment. the new chancellor, rachel reeves, is talking about

speeding up and relaxing the planning laws, in her new speech. and the housing minister is doing exactly the opposite. >> well, exactly. and this is the problem, isn't it? we're loosening planning laws. people try this many times before. it does not work. we don't have. i mean, they're using it to try and grow the economy. we understand that. although i think we're being gaslit on this, i do about 30, 40,000 miles a year driving around this country, no matter where you go, which small town city there is huge housing development everywhere. i'm not sure how there can be any more other than on green land, greenfield sites. and that's going to be the problem. yeah, that's going to be a huge problem. and you know, i feel slightly sorry here for, matthew pennycook because, he, you know, he everyone's going to have this, aren't they ? name. have this, aren't they? name. it's not it's not a tool. it's not a tool. funny from a from a fellow cox. but this is going to be a problem for, ministers. mps, sorry. all over the country . mps, sorry. all over the country. yeah. every single constituency can have this problem. >> it's going to be. it's going

to be something that that creates friction and builds resentment against labour, against the central labour government, because angela rayner has said that the asylum seekers and illegal migrants that they're allowing into the country are going to be distributed all across the country. she says every local authority has to take their fair share, so every local authority is going to have to take around 1500 new illegal migrants. and, you know, bear in mind these are illegal migrants. so they're not, you know, they might not be the most not the culturally similar. but i didn't want to say that. but yeah, they're not they're not going to be the ones here. like turning up, earning 150 grand. really good at computers. they're going to be you know, a lot of them are going to be the other ones. it's not a good look for the housing minister, though, is it really. >> no, but he didn't know he was going to be housing minister that heavily. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> he didn't know he was. yeah. it reminds me of those tiktoks. it reminds me of those tiktoks. i know they're they're heavily edited, but you see those tiktoks where they go up to those people protesting and have more migrants coming to the country, and someone goes up to the microphone and says, will you take in some migrants in your home? and they all say, oh,

no, i haven't got enough space. >> well, now you're gonna have to sort of going on. >> yeah, okay. so we might get to enjoy watching people do that and finally we've got the daily star. paul. >> yeah, he's talking about a football. yeah. your country needs you really to really, really go for it. and this is kind of a pop really at the way that england have played up until now. they've played some sort of very sluggish football in much the way, in much the same way the french team have actually. and they got, they got kicked out tonight by spain, which are these extravagant mediterranean types. and we probably are going to need to know where that came from. and, and i think they're going to need to go for it, but it's going to be a nervous a nervous evening for a lot of football fans.i evening for a lot of football fans. i think tomorrow i will be fairly nervous about it, but i don't think either of you two care at all, do you? >> and also, i don't know if you've noticed, but i'm scottish. if he'd just done coming up in part two, blair warns keir on immigration biden isn't stepping down and will suella be the next tory leader. find out

welcome back to headliners i'm leo kirsten. i'm joined by carrie marks and paul cox. and kicking things off with wednesday's express. and tony blair has warned keir starmer to not make the same mistakes as him on immigration. carrie, he has that. >> yeah, exactly what he's doing, so, so blair is being a bit of a backseat driver right now, and it's from the back of the usual blair, blair, blair. >> largely, i mean, he's the guy who's accused of opening the floodgate on on immigration in the first place. >> and now is warning against against it. but what he's saying is interesting because he's clearly saying that the public don't want it and recognising that, yeah, but at the same time, he cannot give a reason why anyone would feel that he doesn't show any empathy for why a large percentage of people in the country see this as a concern. so what? he'll keep repeating over and over again is the enormous benefits of immigration. i do think there's benefits of immigration, but can

we also say there's some downsides? can we can we? >> absolutely not. >> absolutely not. >> carrie khan i'm sorry. well, yeah. >> and i think some, some labour mps would now be recognising that some of the downsides i mean, jess phillips was was heckled by pro gaza. >> we've seen this islamist wave of mps and political pressure groups like muslim vote and they've they've made things really quite, quite nasty for, for people at jess phillips. >> well, i think jess was quite disingenuous after that because she made it sound like it's because they were just men rather than, you know, isn't islamist men. she couldn't bring herself to do that because it's so against her own narrative. the narrative of her party ideologically trap. now, she i don't think she's that stupid. i think she's an extremely bright woman. but i thought that was a stupid thing to say. well, i mean, you know, i do. yeah i do, i mean, i don't agree with a lot of her politics, but to get where she has done, despite all her obvious problems is quite something, quite an achievement. but this this story is remarkable in the sense that are we supposed to believe that sir

keir starmer and tony blair don't talk every day of the week? and we also are supposed to think that this sounds to me like tony blair has gone to keir starmer and said, well, this is what i'm going to get you to do. and then gone to the public and gone, well, i think this is what keir starmer should do. like there's some sort of 1d chess, maybe it's a yeah, maybe , maybe maybe it's a yeah, maybe, maybe it's the labour because i've seen this story, resurfacing day after day in the papers and i think it's labour getting the message out to people that, yes, we recognise that immigration is out of control in the uk. >> i mean, if we're having, 100,000, illegal immigrants a yean 100,000, illegal immigrants a year, then that's unsustainable. and that's, you know, that's a tiny proportion of the 1.2 million legal migrants that come every year at the moment. and no, after you. >> carrie. sorry. >> carrie. sorry. >> i was going to say, for the reasons you just said, you've got to recognise why public opinion is changing on this. and it's also the agenda of the word that was originally people who were woke called themselves woke and then got offended by their

own word because they were so busy getting offended by everything. the social justice agenda hasn't looked good for this. i mean, if my family moved into your house and then spent all their time telling you how horrible they find your family and how much they hate you, and they said, we've got more light to come in, you're going to say no. yeah. you know, so for a long time i might even put a lock on the door there. yes, exactly. yes. build a wall room, a house. i think that is a relevant thing of how people are feeling. people don't like to feeling. people don't like to feel bad about. >> the great thing about scotland, though, is no one wants to emigrate there. so? so it's never really been a problem, is it? >> you take that back, poll. you'd love her cooking wednesday's daily meal now and bofisis wednesday's daily meal now and boris is worried that labour are unpicking the good work. the tories did. to which i have to ask what good work. yeah, that's ask what good work. yeah, that's a very good question. >> labour will act brexit next president this is boris johnson leads the tory backlash to sir keir starmer's ditching of levelling up. and the ex—pm posted on x, formerly known as twitter as we know this afternoon, axing levelling up shows lack of ambition and a failure to believe in this

country's potential. labour will axe brexit next and then they and then they will pointlessly whack up taxes and drift backwards. and the drift backwards. and the drift backwards has begun. now levelling up was boris's baby and the idea was a good idea. but unfortunately there was little to zero levelling up achieved at any point. so anyone coming up coming in was going to say, we're just going to get rid of that. it doesn't work. what they are doing. i don't, i don't know if people have twigged this is with with giving more power to the metro mayors . they're to the metro mayors. they're saying to the metro mayors, you go and spend the money, you go and raise the taxes yourself. and that's essentially what they're going to do. because at they're going to do. because at the moment, levelling up has been the choice of central government. where's that money going to go now? if you give if you keep, devolving power more and more to metro mayors or whilst that all looks rather lovely, what they're going to do in the end is they're going to say, well, we haven't got enough money, so we're just going to put taxes up locally and i'm going to be at the behest of whatever the emotional political

drive is in a local area each time. >> yeah, it sounds like what's happenedin >> yeah, it sounds like what's happened in scotland and also it sounds like a recipe for corruption. if you've got these, you know, loosely monitored, metro mayors in charge of budgets. >> yes it does. you know what i decided ? the whole thing i saw , decided? the whole thing i saw, i saw the picture of them taking down the levelling up sign, and people were saying they're not. >> they haven't done much yet, but they've already taken down a sign. so give them credit for that. and levelling up, it actually doesn't mean very much. it's been around for a long time. you know, it's not really johnson's, theresa may used the same phrase about taxes or blair about taxes. theresa may used it dunng about taxes. theresa may used it during her campaign. originally. it comes from the from 1868, and it was about levelling up catholics and the c of e, right. so it's been around for disraeli complained about it and insisted on knowing what the hell it means. so. so no one actually knows. >> you just need to recognise that we're now a country in decline. so we need to be levelling down. >> levelling down. yeah >> levelling down. yeah >> look, it's a new party, it's new branding. it's what you get. and angela rayner has said, that we have to get rid of gimmicks and slogans. then she started chanting get rid of gimmicks and

slogans. >> and she's now gone. >> and she's now gone. >> having said that, she's going to have to avoid using any sloganeering for the rest of her time in office. so tough for europe. >> yeah, we've got the eye news next with an update on the tory leadership contest, and it's bad news for braverman kerry. or is it, her leadership bid hangs by a thread as supporters desert her. >> and this is all, based around her her speech, we of course, she's really a closet reform politician, isn't she? i think just not not come out the closet. yeah. do you think potentially. i don't think she necessarily has a way of winning. i think i think what she did with the book win friends and influence people was to use it as toilet paper, and i don't think she really cares. and i quite like that about she doesn't care what anyone thinks, and she says what she thinks. >> real conviction politician and she won't change those convictions for what's politically correct or totally expedient . expedient. >> totally. and she complained about the progress flag and how it was completely, flown over government buildings. which i kind of see the point. you can't

really say you're oppressed if your flag is more popular than the flag of the country that you're in, i think , yeah, of you're in, i think, yeah, of course, the progress flag originally developed from the pride flag, and it had lots of colours in it. it had pink and turquoise. pink represented represented sex and turquoise magic, but they had to get rid of those because they couldn't get enough pink fabric, which i don't know if i can say this, but i think that's because the gays were wearing it all, and, and so and so they got rid of the sex and magic from it. and now they have this, this, this flag that's forever growing with more and more colours and more and more inclusivity until it ruins everything. everything. except it doesn't include one legged people yet or the blind. but then you can give them any flag, give them ideas because they'll be. >> it includes the asexuals and also fetishes, like people who dress up as dogs, but they're only discriminated against in that they're not allowed on the couch. >> now, paul, where's the where's the colour for lonely and horny? that's i'm not the man to. >> i'm not going to admit that on tv . but you >> i'm not going to admit that on tv. but you know braverman complained that the civil

service is this blob that stultifies the tory government and wouldn't let them. you know , and wouldn't let them. you know, and wouldn't let them. you know, and flew these progressive flags that stand for child genital mutilation and all the rest of it, but also on the other hand, she was the home secretary. she was the boss. why didn't she just make it happen and crack some coconuts and do it? >> good choice of foot . >> good choice of foot. >> good choice of foot. >> i don't think you can say coconut. >> yeah, you can. you smash. no, no, no, let's not let's not question. it actually is a good choice for phrase. yeah like a bounty advert. so what i braverman was probably the most conservative tory mp in the cabinet not seen much, you know, by far. and she's one of these things, these anomalies for me where people go, oh, she's evil, suella braverman is evil. and you think, well, pointing out where. but she was the home secretary that said that immigration was a bad thing. illegal immigration was a bad thing. that was a job. she was the home secretary . the home secretary. >> oh, so it's illegal? yeah. illegal immigration. there's a clue in the. >> no one's sending back indian

doctors on a blooming dinghy, are they? yeah it's not happening. people seem to have got this. this is what exactly what kerry was talking about. the social justice warriors all these things have just got wrapped up. we've lost the whole point of everything. no one knows what they're arguing about anymore. and the tories don't know themselves. yeah, they don't know who they are. and to let go of suella braverman, i can see suella braverman being a reform mp and she's my constituency mp. oh really? she. yeah. >> great. yeah, maybe she'll make the jump . we're moving on make the jump. we're moving on to the guardian, with labour promising the era of culture wars is over, i assume this means they're shutting down gb news and making it illegal to criticise the government poll. >> that'll do it, era of culture wars is over. pledges new culture secretary lisa nandy, it was also someone who didn't know what a woman was, lisa nandy has promised in her first speech as culture secretary, saying her department will be at the heart of efforts to reflect a more positive and less divisive version of the uk . i've seen version of the uk. i've seen this sentiment myself all over my twitter timeline, but it's always vitriolic . the culture

always vitriolic. the culture wars are over now . we've won, wars are over now. we've won, right? okay yeah, right. smashing. so the idea is that populism is now dead. yeah. and that culture wars have been won. there's no there was never anything, there was no, no such thing as the culture wars really cancelled culture didn't really exist. and right now, because labour are back in, they believe that that's been won . that's that that's been won. that's a load of rubbish. it's just the start of things is even more divisive to come out and say this. yeah. >> well, i mean we're seeing issues getting, if anything , issues getting, if anything, escalating, becoming more apparent to people, even people who don't follow them. so, you know, the number of detransitioners people who have been, you know , advised or been, you know, advised or steered into a route of transitioning often when they're when they're quite young, often when they're quite young, often when they're quite young, often when they're even teenagers. and then it's turned out to be a terrible thing for them . they terrible thing for them. they deeply regret it. and, you know, i've seen horrific videos of women crying while they're breastfeeding because they can't breastfeed, because they had their breasts removed. so they're having to do it with a with a bottle and how'd you

how'd you remove your breasts with a bottle? >> and why are you searching for these videos? no, no breastfeeding. >> i need a solicitor with me . >> i need a solicitor with me. they're not breastfeeding. they're not breastfeeding. they're feeding the baby. >> i was with you. >> i was with you. >> really? oh, right. >> really? oh, right. >> okay. i'm just playing. >> okay. i'm just playing. >> yeah, i just thought. i thought she starts off quite well, you know, talking about polarisation division and isolation. and then suddenly she's wandering off into she talks about, how under the conservatives there was too much feuding and criticising the bbc, which i thought that was good work. really? yeah and then suddenly, towards the end of her speech, she gets into a whole thing about, some women from wigan who hired a coach to see a play wigan who hired a coach to see a play in manchester about the role in the miners strike. yeah. and then she says this is what we're really about. and i don't understand what that is about, is she's just. >> she's just chucking in words lisa nandy into the culture wars, getting people to see plays about themselves because that's great. >> it's just a that's great. >> it'sjust a bit that's great. >> it's just a bit not what i was expecting. >> i've always thought lisa nandyis >> i've always thought lisa nandy is a good politician. yeah when she was running for labour leader, i liked some of the

things that she said. do you remember, after corbyn, but she seems so tied up with the minutia of culture, wars and, and all this sort of wokery that it's all just getting lost. i mean, exactly that point. i was going to make, you know, talking about. oh, sorry, coaches. no, no, no, not at all. talking about coaches. no, no, sorry. carrie is okay, talking about coaches and women from wigan going to manchester. i mean, it's just words. >> i'm happy for them though. >> i'm happy for them though. >> yeah, i hope they all got that. i hope they all got there. >> and, and last time, i hope they didn't have a nice time because that's, that's our taxes we spent on that. well we should do a play about the whole country and all go the trouble with inclusivity is there's a lot of exclusivity going on with it. that's it for part two and part three. a labour mp celebrates skin colour humza yousaf bias and a convicted on benefits in the

getting straight into wednesday's telegraph. where labour's dawn butler has posted a reductive , sectarian, racially a reductive, sectarian, racially divisive tweet celebrating her ethnicity. but it's okay because she's not white, paul. >> that's a good point, leo. our dawn butler claims she was reported to police over labour. melanin tweet so on monday, the mp for brent east posted photographs on social media alongside a number of black labour politicians, with the caption labour government showing off the melanin. now she can't lose, can she ? she can't can't lose, can she? she can't lose because she helped create the game and the number one rule of this game is that everything is racist except her. so no matter what she does, i was trying to write stuff about this. i was thinking, well, i can't say that, and i can't do that. and i can't say that she she has got this absolutely cornered. dawn butler is the queen of this stuff, and she immediately just goes, and oh, you know, i couldn't stop laughing. isn't it hilarious? now i'm inclined to say something like that. >> she was reported to the

police. >> yeah, and by the way, there is the rules of the game. now. everything is racist except dawn butler or anyone, anyone of colour. and that's not to say that everyone of colour believes this as well. in fact, most people of colour don't. and we need to make colour of people's skin much less important, and yeah, dawn butler seems to be going in the opposite direction. >> she posts a tweet saying, you know, this is, you know, whatever she said about the melanin showing off the melanin. and as if skin colour means that because i was brought up to believe that skin colour was just skin deep and, you know , just skin deep and, you know, everybody's equal. >> oh, that was very 80s. and 90s. >> leo. southwest scotland was an incredibly progressive place. >> that's what i thought we were going. >> look, i don't i don't think this is much of a story really. the story is someone rang the police over nothing, really. it's not it's not a big story, but it's still a bit the whole thing, the whole thing. >> there's a big story. because if a white politician had gone out and said, oh, look, we're all out here. hey, white, white pride, you know, they'd be in the tower of london.

>> oh, but i don't think that's the problem. >> she's saying celebrate that the melanin and so on. but we've all got melanin. well, she's actually having a go at albinos, which is horrible of her. >> she's very anti albino. >> she's very anti albino. >> nasty take. >> nasty take. >> she's been an albino phobic. >> she's been an albino phobic. >> she's been albino phobic. yeah. well we say albino but you can say albino if you like. well you see you can have an argument about that. but she also says in her tweet my morning messages to those people is get used to me celebrating my greatness. who talks like that? >> i'll tell you. does beyonce and megalomaniacs. >> yeah, well moving on, we've got the daily meal now and the canadian government is killing thousands of its citizens in the name of progress. well, the lying when they say trudeau is a communist. carrie, >> yeah. it says, canada's broken a record. >> hooray i >> hooray! >> hooray! >> in euthanasia, death . so not >> in euthanasia, death. so not not so good. really? canada's on track is on track to break youth. it really makes it sound exciting. they can go on and know they can do it if they're growing. suicide program or

doctor assisted suicide program, which makes it okay, and the system is called mad, which is mad with al in it. if a matter of interest, alex sheinberg, the director of the coalition, says even more people are approved for euthanasia, even when they suffer from nothing more. i don't really know. i don't have strong feelings against euthanasia. i'm for it for an awful lot of people i've met, >> not not by a doctor. i mean, i'd do it with a shovel. >> well, what's what's remarkable, a shovel. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> can we stop there for a second? how are you going to commit euthanasia with a shovel? >> you just hit them with shovel. >> oh, i see, i thought you were doing it to yourself. >> i thought you were euthanasia. no. >> somebody somebody could do that as well. i see, but i mean, this is, this is sold to us. the canadian government says, oh, this is just helping people that are in terrible conditions, in terrible, dire pain or terminal illnesses or whatever, but it's not at all, there are young, healthy, physically healthy people being euthanized, and there are people who are being offered euthanasia when they're just in, you know, dire

financial straits. they could be homeless. they could they could have some other issue or a treatable condition that's expensive to treat. there is a depressed 21 year old whose mother only found out that he'd, he submitted himself for euthanasia and been approved for euthanasia and been approved for euthanasia when she opened a letter. a bit nosy, but, i mean, i guess it's understandable . i i guess it's understandable. i mean, maybe that's why he wanted to kill himself, but, no, he had diabetes. he was blind in one eye, but. and he was depressed. but apart from that, he was a perfectly viable human being. i mean, i think it's a i think it's a really slippery slope to then be, you know, we're letting children transition and then now we're letting children kill themselves. >> yeah. i like to sort of spin these and try and look at it from different angles to see if it makes sense. now, if you saw a documentary about how a nazi doctor during world war ii had had been experimenting with assisted suicide, you'd be horrified. yet when the canadians do it, it's progressive. yeah and it doesn't make sense. it doesn't matter what angle you look at it. euthanasia should be for maybe the terminally ill motor neurone

disease comes to mind straight away. we see people and not everybody has to take that. and not everyone by the way, fighting motor neurone disease has to go for euthanasia . but it has to go for euthanasia. but it strikes me as one of those sorts of things where you might consider it, because you can see what's going to happen to you for the rest of your life. just because it's raining in july in london on a tuesday, it doesn't mean you can go to the gp and say, oh, i don't know. >> i've had some pretty bad tuesdays. >> you know, i don't think i think the nazi doctor is a little different because he definitely wants to kill you. >> right. >> right. >> it's not quite the same i do and i do stand for i think progressive governments want to kill you as well. >> so we're moving on. we've got the telegraph next, and i think humza yousaf is scotland's greatest ever leader because he destroyed the snp , he's now destroyed the snp, he's now destroying what little is left of his credibility with some biased comments about israel policy. >> yeah, indeed. people condemning russia but not israel. a hypocrite , says israel. a hypocrite, says yousaf. a former first minister, makes apparent swipe at sir keir starmer after pm hit out at russian bombing of kyiv hospital . russian bombing of kyiv hospital. humza yousaf we haven't missed

you. thanks for coming back. he appears to have forgotten why the war started in gaza. absolutely now i know he's got skin in the game. i know that he's got family in palestine, but the you can't conflate the two. i know it's very easy politically. it's very easy for people like us, comedians or commentators to say, oh, you know, if you're if you like one, you shouldn't like the other, etc, etc. but the two are vastly different. they're absolutely different, and you shouldn't conflate the two. >> russia invaded ukraine. that's how the ukraine war started. whereas israel was invaded by hamas. started. whereas israel was invaded by hamas . so it's a invaded by hamas. so it's a complete these actually , it's complete these actually, it's completely opposite. and also russia deliberately targets hospitals and, civilian areas, whereas israel tries to minimise civilian casualties. and in fact, when we saw that hospital bombed, it was reported as israel having having bombed it, in fact, it was a, a hamas rocket that had fallen short. >> totally. and russia has hit two hospitals, in fact. and a load of civilian infrastructure .

load of civilian infrastructure. and what people seem to there's a lot of people saying things that are such nonsense at the moment about the right to defend yourself against occupation and so on, which there is a right. if there is an occupation which is arguable with israel, but at the same time that that right is only a right. if you're following the law, it doesn't mean there is no law involved. and hamas, houthi, iran, hezbollah, they're not being held to any international laws at all right now . hezbollah has at all right now. hezbollah has been bombing israel for the last few months. and what i'm seeing is headlines coming up now saying that israel is preparing to attack hezbollah. they're not preparing. they've been attacked for the last few months. you know, and at any time the un could have, could have put down resolution 1701, which is designed to stop that, to force them to move back from the border. but they're simply not doing it. to compare the two is ridiculous. these are totally different wars that started for very different reasons . and the very different reasons. and the similarity really is with russia and with hamas. totally ignoring all international law and going for civilian structures wherever they can with no excuse. because

don't forget, also israel has there's loads of evidence now of 25 mile tunnels going underneath gaza , the, the, the people gaza, the, the, the people who've been stolen, taken into gaza have not been allowed to be seen by the red cross. and so these are all war crimes. yeah. you know, so the war crimes are just mounting up. >> and you know what's really interesting? >> it doesn't let russia off at all is obviously what kerry's saying is incredibly insightful. >> but there will be swathes of the uk and the west who would never have heard that before and will immediately doubt it because it's not what they've heard or seen or read. well, the progressive idea is that, hamas attacking israel was decolonising because apparently israel is a colonising force, yet somehow the jews were there first. >> it's the oldest religion, and the whole of the middle east is now muslim. so who was really colonising? who who's really the colonising? who who's really the colonising force there? if you really want to look at it through that, that prism. anyway, moving on. we've got the daily mail with a story about a convicted terrorist pal of bin

laden on benefits with a £1 million house provided by the taxpayer who might be allowed to groom children. are they generating these stories in a computer just to make me angry ? computerjust to make me angry? kerry, are we supposed to say former terrorist ? former terrorist? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. is that how it works? well you're always an alcoholic, so you must always be alcoholic, so you must always be a terrorist. >> yeah, it seems that terrorism does pay. and this all happened because of an emergence, the emergence of a photograph of him in this youth centre in birmingham, in birmingham. and, and of course, it's been going on for there's through the article here they talk about back from the 80s and 90s of a whole load of terrorists who were in this country who were housed here. and abu hamza is one people might remember who was arrested because he had blood on his hand and hook, and, and these people were defended by, by, of course, by corbyn. and mcdonnell, who stood up for him, said there was no credible , him, said there was no credible, credible evidence have been levelled against them . and then levelled against them. and then in the meantime, the truck bomb

attack on the us embassies and so on. they spent time in prison for . and there's a there's for. and there's a there's a list of, of evidence and proof you're about to move us on to. yes. >> sorry, i had a really good point. >> listen to that. all night. that's part three done coming up in the final section , kfc bans in the final section, kfc bans bacon to be inclusive. the worst comedy gig in the world and to death. see in

welcome back to headliners. and we're kicking off with wednesday's daily mail, where kfc have banned bacon to be more inclusive to muslims. i was banning something. being inclusive care. it's literally the dictionary definition of not being inclusive. >> oh, we're on this story. >> oh, we're on this story. >> yeah , the bacon one. >> yeah, the bacon one. >> yeah, the bacon one. >> it's lucky i'm catching up with you all the time, isn't it? the. yes, they're going to stop doing anything but halal chicken. you've already said this in kfc, which i'm all for. by this in kfc, which i'm all for. by the way , because, i find no,

by the way, because, i find no, honestly, i find chicken tastes a lot better after 25 people have blessed it . have blessed it. >> i had, i had i'll have the i'll have the, kfc blessed meal. >> what it is you have to be, you know, properly trained and blessed. and i had meat once. it was blessed by only 24 people and it was awful . it's the extra and it was awful. it's the extra one that makes all the difference. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> paula. paula is somebody with a gammon in there? in your name? yeah. are you a bit worried that pork products are being banned? >> i am worried the pork products are being banned, obviously. obviously, for my own branding. you know, my, my, my family are fed on my ability to be able to pork it up , but, it's be able to pork it up, but, it's fascinating. i mean, because this story is based on the fact that canada, the province has had 650,000 migrants over five years. it doesn't say where they've come from. and then talks about halal. so we can only assume that they're followers of a certain religion. >> sounds like they're from britain. >> yeah it does. yeah. they may have come from, birmingham, but, it is that there was an attempt

at a joke with ham. proud of the pun. they're not at all. i actually backed out halfway through. sorry, leo. we have to keep this going and make it interesting by the way, canada is becoming rapidly the most mental country on the face of the earth. it certainly is. >> yeah, it has been for a while. >> yes, i think britain's going to give it a run for the money. we've got the sun next and look out ladies, microchips are now better than you at being beautiful with a computer generated beauty queen who'll turn your floppy disk into a hard drive pulp. >> magical stuff. leo world's first a! beauty queen wins pageant. you can't win anything if you're an ai beauty queen. but however, pageant and claims $13,000 prize in computer generated acceptance speech, this is kenza lele, a computer generated influencer from morocco and has been crowned the world's first emma. i mean, can we contest for like it's for al? yeah i beauty queens. >> it wasn't up against real women. >> no, not up against real women at all. real women don't exist anymore. even real. >> first they got the trans

women coming in to the sports, then the computer. this is the whole point. >> they're misgendering it throughout the whole, article here. they keep calling it. it's she. >> yeah , exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> sure, it will be very offending because it's definitely an it right. it's a computer. so what happened was a computer. so what happened was a computer generated image, i competed against other ais. so what's really happened is no one want anything against anyone? yeah. nothing has actually happened here. >> it was a computer game. >> it was a computer game. >> it's a bit of fun. it's harmless. but i don't really like vanity in my eyes. no i don't want a beauty winning. that could be the thing that i. >> them over the edge. we've got the daily meal now, and renault have brought out a feature that nobody asked for. a built in back seat driver. cory. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> the idea is that it's going to give you points for your safe driving. so whether you're sticking within your lane, whether you're getting too close to the car in front, you'll get points out of 100, no one's going to want this car. no. >> if it's if it's stopped middle lane. >> hoggers i'd be fine with that, we're not being told off enoughis that, we're not being told off enough is what they've decided. so they need more of that. what

i'd like is a car that gives you points for fun, you know? yeah. you've just gone through a red light, but no one spotted you. >> yeah, well, here's an extra ten points. >> yeah, yeah, 100. but you slow down in time for the camera. 20 points. but what it's actually going to do is you're gonna have a horrible accident that your family are all dead. the dog's dead, and a voice is going to come on and go. you lose ten points for that. >> let's quickly cover this before we go. it's in the times where. and it's looking at the edinburgh fringe, which is next month, and there's an early contender for worst gig of the fringe already paul. >> oh my goodness there isn't there just fringe comedians offered free stays for breakfast. jester shows. comedians are being urged to work shifts as a breakfast jester. i don't like this word already. jester during the edinburgh fringe festival with the bells on. exactly. yeah, we're not jesters, you idiots , we're not jesters, you idiots, dunng we're not jesters, you idiots, during the edinburgh fringe festival. in exchange for free lodgings more than 40 miles away from edinburgh. of course, this is all about the fact that digs and accommodation in edinburgh is so expensive, to the point

that even jason manford has pulled out from doing it, which is ridiculous. he's a millionaire, but the idea of entertaining people at breakfast, can you imagine anything worse? well you know, while people are there trying to figure out their bloody toaster and you're and you're, they're giving, you know, imagine the fringe comedians as well, talking about social justice. and all you want to know is where the marmalade is. >> and also a lot of those people are probably just there for a conference. yeah. to learn about some accounting software. >> and it's going to be and it's going to be punsters. right. you can't have any subject over breakfast. you know, the people at the buffet and so on. and it's going to be people with egg and bacon puns over again. nothing else is going to work in that situation. >> and it could be us. >> and it could be us. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> oh, i'd do it for the right fee. i'd do it. >> well, the show is nearly oven >> well, the show is nearly over, so let's take another quick look at wednesday's front pages. the times leads with starmer is playing with fire on defence spending. the guardian has starmer calls on nato
