round up of the days news. first its�* time for newscast — which was recorded last night. laura and chris, on the last episode, i managed to combine a news story about when is the ideal bedtime with some free market research from newscasters about when they listen to this podcast! smart. and for a man who gets up very early, it's an important thing for you to tap into. we have had enough of that already this week! what we have done is newscasters e—mailed in in literally their tens, we have had loads of e—mails about this! and we have been able to do an initial bit of analysis about when people listen to the podcast and how it fits around their bedtime ortheirwaking up. shall we see what the analysis says? i would love to see it. can we be clear we are using that term loosely? incredibly loosely! let's see. yes, this isjust a sort
9:32 pm
of sample of the e—mails, it is not scientific analysis. and also, we have a cheap and cheerful bar chart for tv viewers to understand. people listening to the podcast, you willjust have to write it down on a piece of paper! early morning, 50%. before bed, 26%. what else? while walking the dog, 10%. i knew that would be a big scorer. yes. others, including sleepless nights, commuting, exercising and getting a covid test, 14%! gosh, the poor nurse or whoever else is doing the covid test and you don't even take your headphones out! yeah, or on a speaker, that's even worse! having adam blathering on! and also gagging or your eyes watering as a result of listening to us! which may happen even for those not getting a covid test! and it's notjust a quantative,
9:33 pm
quantitative, i can't even say it, exercise, this analysis commissioned by professor fleming. we have also had some e—mails from newscasters. jessica says, about 10:10, that is her time to listen. probably when you are just finishing on the news. it is just after the lead sequence on the ten o'clock news, excellent, i approve. good timing, jessica. that is when she goes to bed. "the trouble is, i go to sleep almost at once." that's the effect you have, adam! "so i have to start again when i wake during the night. sometimes it takes all night to hear the whole thing." this is a cracker from liz in wiltshire. she says, "i'm head gardener on a private estate and when i'm out in the garden, i plug into newscast to catch up with the important issues of the day, although i have to admit that the local lions and tigers roaring..." lion roaring. sealion noises. that additional sound there, as i turn into david attenborough, we are reporting from cop, aren't we, are sea lions as well which are also a feature. this is quite the private estate
9:34 pm
that you work on, liz! what kind of a estate does she work on? "they do sometimes win out over newscast some days." so occasionally, you are beaten, adam, or we are collectively beaten by the biggest beasts of the jungle and the safari. somewhere in wiltshire. mind where you go in wiltshire — you never know what is round the next corner! hello, it's chris in the studio at westminster. and laura in the studio at westminster and there are no lions or sea lions with us this evening. and it's adam, still at cop26 in glasgow which means i get to see the lovely twinkling lights of the conference venue on the beautiful calm river clyde. are there any sea lions in the clyde? no, but i did see a police scotland jet ski or at least hear one. yeah, i saw some of them last week, they were quite cool. anyway, other people have been in other parts of different climes away from the clyde, haven't they, chris?
9:35 pm
they have, yes, flight that have headed south as well as north. gibraltar. i don't think gibraltar, i was going to say gibraltar hasn't featured as much in the news for a long time but because we did talk about it for a while... what talking about? gibraltar! exactly, where is katya when you need her? talking about gibraltar. it's a sound effect all of its own. it really is, it really is, even more exotic and the beast of wiltshire. we have been talking about gibraltar at westminster and this whole business of this jaunt that 15 mps went on out to gibraltar to see how the armed forces work. fairly standard thing for mps to do these kinds of things, to work out how different sectors work. it seems it got a bit lively with a trio of them and you have been reporting that there was a couple military chaperones on this plane. that's right, this thing called the armed forces parliamentary scheme, it's been running for years and a dozen or so mps every year take part in different bits and they go off and watch things happening. and this group were accompanied by these two military chaperones on the plane and on arrival in gibraltar, the military
9:36 pm
chaperones were so worried about the behaviour and drinking of three of the mps on board that they let their bosses know back in london. we have talked to witnesses who were there, who have told us there was a lot of drinking. one witness told me they were extremely drunk and there was a whole sort of kerfuffle at the airport in gibraltar upon arrival. and this doesn't seem like, from this account of events, that it was people having a couple of beers on a flight, this seems like something that was much more serious than that. but it has prompted some pretty angry denials on the other side. it has. the three mps, we've got charlotte nicholls who is a labour mp, who had been drinking, wasn't in gibraltarfor very long, she has got some mental health concerns, she's got post—traumatic stress disorder, she had a mental health episode, as it has been described to me, not long after she got there, and came back. and that's that, and there has been no official response from labour. but the two snp mps, drew hendry and david linden,
9:37 pm
there is a bit of a to do now. because they went on twitter straightaway and said this is all politics. didn't say they hadn't been drinking. but they did deny being drunk which is the central allegation. that's right and they have stayed on the trip and i think we can have a look at the picture of the armed forces parliamentary group out there on their trip to gibraltar. they get to put on combat fatigues which, i knew about these things but i didn't realise they got to kind of dress up and i don't say that in a dismissive sense but they are not members of the armed forces and it just seemed a bit weird. it is a slightly unusual thing, but it is a serious scheme and from talking to people about this trip, there was a real sense that, among others, real outrage because it is a serious thing. this is an important trip, on the time around armistice day, so for this kind of palaver to go on has really got some people's necks up. but as you said, surprise surprise, it has turned into a bit of a political row and even
9:38 pm
the first minister, nicola sturgeon, today went on the record denying that her mps had got up to no good. they have made clear the allegations that have been made against them . are utterly false, i think- are a pretty disgraceful attempt by conservatives to divert attention from other things over the past- couple of days. i know david and drew extremely well and i have confidence in them - and in the account they have given. so the first minister is insistent that her colleagues were not in this state at all but the ministry of defence, and ben wallace, the defence secretary, must be very confident about the facts of this story because he hasn'tjust written to the snp and to labour, he has written letters to all sorts of people in the political system about this. that's right, he has written to the commons speaker, sir lindsay hoyle, he's also written to james gray, who is the mp who runs this armed forces parliamentary scheme. and, as i understand it, ben wallace is not asking for any
9:39 pm
kind of sanction but the mod i think is deadly serious about this, they were trying to make it clear to the party leaders that this kind of behaviour, as alleged, is completely unacceptable. and what is striking that, yes, the context of this story is one where lots of parties are perhaps scratching around, seeing what other parties might have done after a week of headlines that have focused on the conservatives, but crucially, two, and they are not the only two, but two of the witnesses here were not party political, they were civil servants, or representatives of the ministry of defence accompanying these mps out there. we are getting into a bit of an arms race between all the partiesjust trying to find examples left, right and centre people not behaving themselves super well, but perhaps not doing stuff that is the end of the world? well, there was some chatter at westminster this morning about whether or not mps actually really wanted to open up a pandora's box about mps' behaviour on foreign trips. because from time to time you do
9:40 pm
here quite sort of hair raising stories about the things that people have got up to, thinking they might be on an 18 to 30 trip rather than off on some professional fact finding mission. 60 to 70! exactly! for some. but i did hear somebody who was familiar with some of these trips talking about how sometimes mps were just a bit high and mighty, they hadn't always been as polite as they always should be. but i was also told today that one particular mp had gone on some trips around the world and always insisted that the itinerary included a visit to the local zoo. which i just thought it was a really strange thing. anyway, if you are listening to newscast, you probably know who you are. but anyway... that's for you, liz! listener liz! it has kind of been mps behaving badly week in a way but the issues around claims of corruption, second jobs, people breaking really strict standards rules, that is something really serious and we ended up with the sight
9:41 pm
of the prime minister standing on stage yesterday, telling the world, look, i genuinely believe the uk is not corrupt and people in cop cannot possibly have conceived of hearing that when all those months ago there were thinking, oh, what kind of image and look do we want to give to the rest of the world? and whatever anyone�*s view on what has happened in the last week or so in terms of the revelation, a british prime minister volunteering that sentence out loud is extraordinary. because that word, corrupt, is a colossal one. it is. and i know it was thrown around by sir keir starmer, the labour leader, over the last weeks, and there was something there, if you like, for the prime minister to respond to. but it is just such a massive word. it really is and there is always a danger in politics, if you reuse your critic's accusation, you actually give some fuel to it rather than just cracking on, but there is no question here, borisjohnson has been privately slated by a lot of his mps for his handling of all of this and there's been some public criticism as well. also, chris, ithought your use of the word volunteer there to describe what the prime minister did
9:42 pm
was actually a really accurate reflection of what it was like in that press conference yesterday which he did here in glasgow. he wasn't asked about something along these lines but he wasn't asked, do you think britain is a corrupt country or not? he started answering a much more generic question about the situation and then you could see a light bulb went on in his head and there was something he wanted to say but he hadn't said yet so he then came out with this line and so everybody stops typing their notes on their laptops and looked up to hear him say that. what i think is really interesting is that he hasn't come close to apologising for the government's handling about this, leading back to the owen paterson thing and the botched vote in the commons, but if you listen to the chancellor, rishi sunak, who was doing interviews this morning about the latest gdp figures, but he was inevitably asked about this, he sounded not necessarily apologetic but a lot more contrite than borisjohnson ever has. i'm not familiar with the specific details of that case, _ it would not be right for me to comment on individuals. j reflecting on all of these things over recent days, i what i can say is that for us - as a government, we need to do
9:43 pm
better than we did last. week, and we know that. that, a reference i think specifically to sir geoffrey cox and his whereabouts over, well, a good chunk of the last few months. still no sign of him, his commons office was all locked up with the lights off when i went and had a peek yesterday. you always think, back in the day, compiling cvs and that little bit about extracurricular activities where you say, i don't know, abseiling! netball! exactly! orienteering. and it's fair to say that that chunk of sir geoffrey's cv is rather extensive and well remunerated! i'm not sitting here on my own because listening to all of that was the shadow business secretary, and i have to say, a bit of a cop aficionado because he has been here the whole time and been very visible, it is ed miliband. hello. i confess! not that i need to confess because people knew it anyway but... you are loving it, i have seen you walking around like you're on cloud nine the whole time you've been here. cloud cop!
9:44 pm
there are certain, they are an experience, aren't they? yes, we will talk about cop at length in a minute, not too much length, just the right length, but this whole thing we are calling standards this week, is this now affecting all parties? you would have been loving it a few days ago when it seemed to be a tory issue but it's now the snp and labour being dragged into a behavioural thing as well. i think there are lots of different things going on, i don't know what happened on that flight but people should behave themselves on flights, but i don't know exactly what happened. the fundamental issue here is our mps focused on working for the people who elect them, their constituents, and are we upholding proper standards of integrity? this all dates back to 0wen paterson the fact that the prime minister decided to rip up the rules and decided to effectively sack the referee orjust decided he would not accept the referee's verdict. this is where it all began. i think there is going to have to be
9:45 pm
changed, though it's notjust about 0wen paterson or geoffrey cox, there is going to have to be change. lord evans said this morning that in 2018 they recommended a ban on consultancies for mps. i proposed in 2015, when i was a leader, that they should be a ban on directorships and consultancies, paid directorships and consultancies. i think we need to do that because we want to uphold the idea that mps are working, focused on their constituents, not for outside organisations they might be lobbying on behalf of. and we want to uphold that idea and it's like it needs to be seen that way as well. what keir starmer did any different to what geoffrey cox has done? the i'm to what geoffre cox has done? ., ., ~ ., but i'm not making anyjudgment on that but is it now that labour position that outside work consultancies should be all ended or what is it? because we've heard different things
9:46 pm
from the labour party this week. and why is what keir starmer did as an mp any different to whatjeffrey cox is done? to setjeffrey cox is being paid more? the is done? to set jeffrey cox is being paid more?— paid more? the history of this is that in 2015| — paid more? the history of this is that in 2015| said _ paid more? the history of this is that in 2015| said that _ paid more? the history of this is that in 2015| said that we - paid more? the history of this is that in 20151 said that we should j that in 2015! said that we should -et that in 2015! said that we should get rid _ that in 2015! said that we should get rid of— that in 2015! said that we should get rid of paid consultancy. directorships and in 2019 we stood on a manifesto that said an end to second jobs apart from a few exceptions. i think we don't have to over that period is like deftly got jeffrey— over that period is like deftly got jeffrey cox earning £6 million, residing — jeffrey cox earning £6 million, residing in the caribbean and i think— residing in the caribbean and i think 10,000 hour somebodies calculated over the last ten years. a hundred — calculated over the last ten years. a hundred grand for winding down? that sounds extraordinary to so many peopia _ that sounds extraordinary to so many people. hang on, he got paid because he'd been _ people. hang on, he got paid because he'd been a _ people. hang on, he got paid because he'd been a barrister, he was coming into parliament, he was doing some work as_ into parliament, he was doing some work as a _ into parliament, he was doing some work as a barrister but look, i know
