now for those headliners. good evening and welcome to headliners i'm your host stephen. and tonight i'm joined by two fantastic comedians, local frances foster and sainsbury's legend cressida. now now let's take a look at tomorrow's front pages before we're getting deeper into the stories. we can start with the daily telegraph with energy companies holding customers billions. tuesdays i with two thirds of junior doctors, are to leave the nhs. the guardian leads with revealed the dire state of the broken rail network. next the independent leads with what does the uk really think about. leads with what does the uk really think about . see what the really think about. see what the front page of the daily mail. let's jump into the actual newspaper now. what do you think of the page of the daily mail, francis? well the front page of the daily mail leads with main stories. the main headline about agencies that are bleeding the

dots . well, they didn't actually dots. well, they didn't actually go with that daily mail. they said something far more evocative sucking nhs choice to these agencies, providing to the nhs, whether it be nurses and doctors to the tune and then making to the tune of half a billion pounds a year. and so thatis billion pounds a year. and so that is money actually should be kept the nhs to pay doctors nurses particularly at a time we're facing staff shortages and they've also gone with the tragic story of edward, who was fatally killed in a shooting in a pub and very much looks like she had nothing to do with the particular people who who did the murders . heartbreaking, the murders. heartbreaking, isn't it? i mean , it's this isn't it? i mean, it's this agency. tell me why stupid with it. this agency staff situation seems to be there are nurses . seems to be there are nurses. yes, there are. vacancy for nurses . but because they don't nurses. but because they don't have enough nurses , they have to have enough nurses, they have to go to an agency that recruits nurses to fill the nurse gaps.

what am i missing? well, a lot of the time. so i'm a former sector worker. i was a teacher for many years. when you work within the public sector, you have huge amount of paperwork. and a lot of the time agency staff, you just go in, you do yourjob and then you leave and it's the paperwork . it's been it's the paperwork. it's been within the local government system or the public sector sector system that groynes you down because you're within the machine. you have to do lots of pointless admin, etc. so it's harder to hire somebody . yeah. harder to hire somebody. yeah. wow but again, i look at the amount of money it cost them go through agencies versus actually just employ staff and think the amount of money you'd say if could pay for someone to go and do all the admin let the nurses do all the admin let the nurses do the nursing you'd still have do all the admin let the nurses do the lefting you'd still have do all the admin let the nurses do the left over'ou'd still have do all the admin let the nurses do the left over again.:ill have do all the admin let the nurses do the left over again. i l have do all the admin let the nurses do the left over again. i i'veve money left over again. i i've read these stories all the time . can't out i'm not . can't work out why i'm not being a massive idiot now. well absolutely. i mean i think the problem is, is you've just hit

the nail . the head is a teachers the nail. the head is a teachers nurse , doctors they can't get nurse, doctors they can't get with doing their job because with doing theirjob because there a huge amount of red tape surrounding doing their job. and what you're doing is effectively to job you're doing the job of a nurse, a doctor, a teacher and also the job of an administration assistant . it's administration assistant. it's an impossible job to do . if i'm an impossible job to do. if i'm an impossible job to do. if i'm a customer client of the nhs, i don't know the difference between an agency staff , an between an agency staff, an unknown agency. one looks after . well, one's been on holiday according this. yes yeah. one's well—rested . yeah, absolutely. well—rested. yeah, absolutely. and i think that's that's a very real problem. and until start looking at the way we treat our pubuc looking at the way we treat our public workers because a lot of people focusing on pay and of course , is a big thing, course, is a big thing, particularly for nurses. however, the reality is it's pay and conditions and a lot of the time these nurses, they talk about the fact that hospitals

are understaffed so they do shift but there is nobody then left to cover them at the end of their shift. so they have to carry on and effectively be unpaid and it's much easier to come as agency staff. do your job. so get your timesheets signed and then leave . yeah. i signed and then leave. yeah. i still feel like i'm missing. like i could fix this in person. i really think you just did . i really think you just did. what's going on with the front page of the guardian the guardian are also leading with story of al edwards . the other story of al edwards. the other story of al edwards. the other story they've got is revealed the dire state of the broken rail network. so i've got in i've done some some looking into this. and they found that half of the trains from the 15 busiest railway stations in the country are either delayed or disrupted. and it's worse in the midlands, in the north apparently. so the guardian and they're blaming privatisation labour which obviously have been made a lot worse in the pandemic and is all coming today when we've had another strike. although i got here tonight

through the service of my dad. so oh no, that's pretty good isn't it. good old dad. was he not on strike . he wasn't on not on strike. he wasn't on strike. he was strike. he doesn't believe in that sort of thing . however, today apparently thing. however, today apparently there were 15.2 million cars on there were 15.2 million cars on the road . so that's isn't it? the road. so that's isn't it? know we'll be through. yeah i don't know how many is normally on the roads mean i drove in and it didn't look particularly though it felt fine with no no issues but guess boxing day of expecting everybody to be on the sofa recovering . oh well pretty sofa recovering. oh well pretty much the problem is as well much and the problem is as well with these strikes and with cancelled trains and trains not being able to train companies not being able to find train staff order to run the trains you . look at lot of you. look at a lot of businesses, whether be restaurants, it be cafes restaurants, whether it be cafes whether it be shops. these have had a terrible during the pandemic where. they've been pushed to breaking point and for a lot of these businesses . this a lot of these businesses. this is a time where they make money.

this is a time where they can actually back some much needed revenue . and because of train revenue. and because of train delays , because of strikes , delays, because of strikes, they're going to be pushed even further to break point. absolutely shocking that half of the from the busiest the trains from the busiest train stations are late. and i thought trains already had spare time . but you know, you put in a time. but you know, you put in a train station, wait train station, you wait for 2 minutes and you think this is done. they fiddle the done. so they they fiddle the numbers. can't be numbers. so that they can't be late. it's like the late. it's easy. it's like the actual journey. time is less. you must noticed every so you must have noticed every so i'm on a train. i just google japanese trains just to look at all that. i think that could all that. no, i think that could 30 seconds. i don't know reflects far more on you being angry middle look japanese timetables my it does if it leaves more than 30 seconds late, they've dishonoured the family that's what i like to me. harry. carrie absolutely. take it a bit far for my taste . it a bit far for my taste. frances what's going on? on the cover tuesday's telegraph . so cover of tuesday's telegraph. so the tuesday leads the tuesday telegraph leads a very interesting story is about energy companies hoarding

customers billions. and what they're doing is , is launching they're doing is, is launching customers who are in credit with the energy companies and still being charge regular direct debits, if not higher direct debits, if not higher direct debits, which means energy companies during the cost of crisis are essentially hoarding capital and they're taking customers. bank balances into credit. when people are struggling more than ever. so it's another example of unethical behaviour by, the energy companies and i'm going be honest with you, i've always thought of myself as pretty centrist and you know , i believe centrist and you know, i believe in the free market, but looking at boys, it turns me full at these boys, it turns me full marks all you should see is a means of production . wow. means of production. wow. francis foster yeah, exactly . francis foster yeah, exactly. they genuinely makes me angry, but christmas miracle is because there's so people struggling at there's so people struggling at the moment. struggling to pay bills, struggling just to make it to the end of the month that the energy companies, particularly when energy bills are going through the roof, this

is a scam that they're doing in order to hoard money from people who can't afford it a lot of them that means these huge companies are using us as a of credit and i'm presuming they pay credit and i'm presuming they pay no interest on it not so interest free credit. i'd a slice of that and yes they can do that too. it's good work well done telegraph have you done the telegraph have you noficed done the telegraph have you noticed direct have noticed your direct have you actually your actually paid attention to your direct payment. i'm in a direct debit payment. i'm in a slightly different situation because grid i'm i live because i'm off grid i'm i live on a boat, i live on a narrowboat so this all i've heard about energy bills difficult to get mains piping into a boat i'll give you that we have coal and gas so how coal pnces we have coal and gas so how coal prices days are pretty high actually but the government is looking into helping our voters so we're going to be do some help as well as you guys. oh, there you go. and people yeah. people mainland well into people on the mainland well into the eye. cressida, what's their front page looking ? two thirds front page looking? two thirds of junior doctors are trying to leave nhs. this is what they're leading with. having said that, this is this comes ahead of a

poll for ballot for strike action . so it's obviously it's a action. so it's obviously it's a big topic at the moment isn't it they always saying that 65% of actively researched leaving their job actively researched leaving theirjob although i mean we do that in jobs don't we know the gb news no no activities but you know apparently you used to have another job too. yes did you ever think about leaving that? every single day? i've said you do a lot of material about it. yes. so the bma, the union are urging ministers to improve the 2% pay offer? yep i mean, you do want doctors be paid well, don't you, if you go to the doctors, you're not in, you know, having your best day if you need to have a doctor pay attention to whatever you got going on. so you want you want the system to work. mean, the only work. well, i mean, the only thing struggle with this is thing i do struggle with this is junior doctors, i thought the trope the cliche was that junior doctors too many hours doctors work too many hours anyway and they were absolutely exhausted. they exhausted. so why didn't they want nhs when . that want to leave the nhs when. that was mean, that's been decades. was i mean, that's been decades. how that much worse

how has it got that much worse since there's always since then? there's always been a within nhs. i've got a culture within nhs. i've got family who are doctors who are far intelligent and far more intelligent and academic am, but what they academic than am, but what they say is essentially junior. being a doctor seen as a a junior doctor is seen as a rite where you endure rite of passage where you endure the worst of the nhs . you the very worst of the nhs. you frequently work in any . you work frequently work in any. you work extra long hours , the pay is extra long hours, the pay is dreadful, but with knowledge of once kind of make it as it were , whether you're going to be a gp or console, etc. you then have a very nice, very cushy salary that again doesn't seem like system that we actually want. you don't want first point of contact when you're in an emergency to be someone who's absolutely exhausted and thinking i've just got to get through the hazing period you sound like a rugby two year can get through this then we'll let you wow okay. i have to you in. wow okay. i have to dnnk you in. wow okay. i have to drink a pint of someone's tinkle that happens in rugby. doesn't we . we've all been we wouldn't know. we've all been at university. we've met. they get their animals. yeah. you're itake get their animals. yeah. you're i take it all back. yes, it is terrifying, though. that's it .

terrifying, though. that's it. part one after the break. we charles in charge serious storms and the official statistical grand finale for covid stay.

hello and welcome back to is with me steve allen. my delightful guests online provocateur frances foster and offline provocateur cressida. what an offline a houseboat doesn't have internet yet has a long cable that you'd have to fill in there. well, let's jump into the telegraph and there are some serious storms stateside. cressida absolutely worse. and storm in decades leaves 27 dead in buffalo intensity into war zone of this christmas lots of families have just in a war zone but i don't think that's what this is about. so nationally , this is about. so nationally, five have already lost their lives . and this is it's likely

lives. and this is it's likely to slow off in the days to come. at the moment, this is really serious . they don't actually serious. they don't actually know people have lost know how many people have lost their at the moment their lives at the moment because some of them might because. some of them might still in cars. the still be stuck in cars. the rescue people even even rescue people can't even even get . people are running get to them. people are running out of food there's about out of food and there's about 12,000 power 12,000 people without any power at the moment in this weather. well, in that weather, there's even been some reports of looting, is just how do looting, which is just how do they once you've stolen this stuff, what do you do going a getaway plough? i don't know . getaway plough? i don't know. just some surrenders . there's just some surrenders. there's been 1200 flights cancelled , been 1200 flights cancelled, 200,000 eastern people in these two states without power . and two states without power. and they're not even sending out fire. so this is we should be grateful for the british. yeah, we have . but they have weather we have. but they have weather right . yeah, i mean, it. we have. but they have weather right . yeah, i mean, it . and right. yeah, i mean, it. and when you think as well american infrastructure tends to be so much better than us particularly when it comes to dealing with weather emergency if that actually happened within the uk would be the end of the uk right

, it would be the end of the uk. as we know it. those reasons still nobody's still somebody says nobody's listening . driving listening. the driving ban. i mean why they need to have a driving think would driving ban. you'd think would be obvious. but people are still trying out in cars, their trying to go out in cars, their regular cars. course. regular cars. yeah, of course. of course. need of course. we don't need a driving. there no the moment driving. there is no the moment there's snow on there's a law dusting of snow on there's a law dusting of snow on the line. you not the ground line. no you not going by. yeah. snow going anywhere by. yeah. snow day. yeah i'll, i'll go by train. no cancelled the wrong type snowflake which is you know tncky type snowflake which is you know tricky because they're all different. yeah exactly. and what makes them beautiful ? next what makes them beautiful? next to the daily mail. what makes them beautiful? next to the daily mail . and it's bad to the daily mail. and it's bad news for data enthusiasts , but news for data enthusiasts, but good news for everyone else, frankly . absolutely. frankly. absolutely. the uk government will stop punishing publishing . punishing. government will stop punishing publishing. punishing. i government will stop punishing publishing . punishing. i mean, publishing. punishing. i mean, there's a 40% punishing us. we've covered data january as country moves into the phase of living with the virus. so this is a very good news story that they're no longer going to be publishing covid data because quite i think we're all sick of it. we've all had covid numerous

times now . we know what covid is times now. we know what covid is this, we know what we have to do. and it's just a case of moving on as a society , i don't moving on as a society, i don't want to hear about covid. i don't have a discussion about covid i don't want anything more do with covid. i'm it out. i don't want talk about it any more. no more lockdowns for, you know, climate lockdowns . really. know, climate lockdowns. really. let's the planet. no covid there, no exactly. exactly. so see what you're saying about this ? i saw this new story and this? i saw this new story and thought yeah, i've not really checked these stats. they're going to release stats going to release these stats anymore. not heard them anymore. i'm not heard of them for least a year or so when i for at least a year or so when i read the. all right, i thought i remember that. how quaint it let remembering the remembering something during the war gather war remember these gather round and rate was and watch to see the r rate was doing. yeah that was one of those tautology like pin number and duct tape that noise pedants like me all right, the r number. the number that determines the right noted. well not noted, because we won't be looking at this. that's true. now we need

to know there's an annoying fact gets be thrown at dinner parties. i can't bring any more. tomorrow's now in king charles message has modern tv records got almost as many viewers as an episode of blind date in the nineties? who's this one? yeah, that's me. yeah, that's me . that's me. yeah, that's me. yeah. a record 10.6 million viewers watched his speech . it's viewers watched his speech. it's a lot these days is killing it is smashing it. this a lot these days is killing it is smashing it . this is this is is smashing it. this is this is really the stories is more about bbc in general apparently seven of the ten most watched shows were shows yesterday really they're doing very well. i players up 30, apparently . i players up 30, apparently. i thought the bbc was dying and going away. the stories saying otherwise. well i was going to say their christmas offerings , say their christmas offerings, the kind of things that get people up. there are certain shows the bbc can do that will then have on twitter saying, oh, it's from the bbc , but a cartoon it's from the bbc, but a cartoon about a boy, a fox is not going to be the thing that really

upsets strictly come upsets people. strictly come dancing. for or against dancing. listen for or against it. no, they love it . people it. no, they love it. people love that. it's a current cocaine. do you think you've got your eye on that one day? your eye on doing that one day? no. know, i start watching no. you know, i start watching it. i'd love that it. if you did, i'd love that purely comedic body , i purely for the comedic body, i have the flexibility of a lamppost. oh, such low self—esteem . i believe in you. self—esteem. i believe in you. you've only a little flexibility now. do if episodes of now. but you do if episodes of strictly. yeah. because my strictly. yeah yeah. because my old co—host on a different tv did strictly this year and it bnngs did strictly this year and it brings it home that kind of like wow are definitely different levels and he was tempted to go along and no because either there was no way i'd ever do anything like strictly because i know i know what my future would be. i'd be the person who gets and has to pull out before first episode and then like a rat a drainpipe. absolutely love to drainpipe. i absolutely love to do i'm in the same do that. i'm in the same flexibility camp as know as francis need for it. let's move on to tuesday's independent and a big, jolly fat man could soon return down the chimney and get into stockings. you know, santa

bofisis into stockings. you know, santa boris is black friends. yes is indeed the top level lover is apparently he's he could be coming back next christmas according to nadine dorries , according to nadine dorries, this is what apparently an ally has his critics in the party will realise they are nothing without him. and the former culture secretary has warned rishi that a disastrous poll rating could see him out . i rating could see him out. i think there is a chance if the polls keep sliding by this time next year, we will see . boris next year, we will see. boris johnson back in downing street many of the people who are anti bofis many of the people who are anti boris realise they are in nothing without their seat . the nothing without their seat. the house of commons, you what ? it's house of commons, you what? it's almost like she fancies symptoms it's almost like she's expected be awarded a period just as part of his resignation honours list. yeah well my cv loved boris she's a big fan isn't is a huge fan of boris johnson. the

reality is the conservative party are a bust flush they've had what is it now 12 years in this country to kind of sort things out and you look at the state that this country is in, nor do i think labour particularly any more competent. but at this point it really is end for me for a conservative government. i don't think boris would do a huge amount to change that. we're positive we're busted in terms of our ideas. it's really tough times for this country and rishi has got himself poisoned. chalice i was surprised that he wanted to take the job. what are you going to do, though? i can understand the urge to complain when it comes to likely vote . you look, you're to likely vote. you look, you're very good at it as well . but very good at it as well. but when it comes around to actually voting , not when it comes around to actually voting, not going to when it comes around to actually voting , not going to become one voting, not going to become one of people who says, well, of those people who says, well, it's for of it's no point voting for any of them through saying days you've just so just opted out. democracy, so wonderful , but wonderful impersonations, but it's all i saw. i vote. sdp and everyone always laughs me because they go to me. frances but they've got no chance of

winning. of course i don't. but they're the party that best reflect political views. so i vote for them. suppose if vote for them. wow. i suppose if everyone did that, then our politics might reflect people's actual politics more. yes indeed. cressida your take on this. you reckon there's any chance of hopefully i mean he could come by he's just such buffoon isn't he. he's still got to face the commons privilege privileges investigation . so privileges investigation. so i don't know whether that's going to thwart him. he would have got away with it if it wasn't for that meddling investigation. oh, i don't know. will end up on reality tv. that i mean maybe reality tv. is that i mean maybe rereleasing blobby hit singles i well he might he might have made the odd slip up but he never asked a homeless person if they worked in business. i mean the thing is with boris is a one time he was a brilliant campaigner. he was he was what he did in the 2019 general election. he decimated labour, got 19% of the vote, which is

lowest point since something like the 1930s. so boris is a very, very talented politician and i just think partygate was so toxic. people were so upset and quite rightly so over covid i think he's made himself unelectable and i think the conservatives for the moment about their day , i heard someone about their day, i heard someone saying that it's believable that it could have been a liz truss back to boris flip rather than a rishi to boris because of what happened. we were all slightly too much of your political persuasion. you were shocked by how fast happened this year. i can't . we've been through so can't. we've been through so many prime ministers. do you mean just the number of prime ministers makes party seem. ministers just makes party seem. yeah this is. they're all having a go every and i want choose a go every and i want to choose days next and it looks like sanity may not be the enlightened bastion of human rights we thought it was cressida yeah this is horrific. maidstone trafficked and sold to wealthy on black market wealthy saudis on black market so . what's astonishing about so. what's astonishing about this is the scale of the problem so . dozens of listings posted so. dozens of listings posted each day by citizens advertising

migrant as available to buy or rent maids, cleaners, nannies and drivers . it's rent maids, cleaners, nannies and drivers. it's just it's horrible . and it looks like horrible. and it looks like a lot of this being done on the internet and also is kind of scaling up problem. it's not a new problem . it's been a long new problem. it's been a long time recently. the saudi government claimed that there's going to be reform . but a cynic going to be reform. but a cynic like yourself say you might not be convinced by it. looks like what's really happening is the claiming it's going to give these freedoms for workers going to to bank to be able to open a bank account, have access to their own passport, they able to leave the change but the country and change jobs but in reality that's people working in reality that's people working in the oil and gas industries and actually domestic farmers, drivers . it sounds like they're drivers. it sounds like they're going to be in the same position really ? yeah. they don't have really? yeah. they don't have access to their own passports . access to their own passports. thatis access to their own passports. that is shocking. is it the fact that the promise to give someone the right to their own the right to access their own passport ? right. is passport? right. and this is really every at the really common. so every at the time is the times spoke to

time this is the times spoke to admitted withholding their passports. it's common practise i don't yeah i mean they've always been big on civil rights so let's well yes the un have tried attention to this in 2020, but they the main app that they're using to do this haj is it's still available so yeah so it's still available so yeah so it isn't a surprise that the internet doesn't take it down the breaching. i mean i would have thought, well, you're right, i don't read all the terms and conditions when i sign up online, up to things online, but i imagine against modern imagine they're against modern slavery. mm well yes, that's what they're saying . but google what they're saying. but google declined to comment , as what they're saying. but google declined to comment, as did the afp far, so maybe they're not them. it's almost like saudi arabia have a lot of money, interest in theory , like where interest in theory, like where you go in this. well it for part two, it's in the bank coming up. we've got killer volcanoes , mass we've got killer volcanoes, mass brawls and the most dangerous thing of all white people being hired. we'll catch you in a

minute . but

welcome back to headliners. let's jump back in with the daily mail and now the nhs asking just why did you hire that white person? i thought the same thing when i found out who my guests were tonight. what's going frances? well, nhs going on, frances? well, the nhs bosses won't interview panels to justify why they have hired a white person over candidates from ethnic minorities. and i would bet my bottom dollar that if it's a white man , even more if it's a white man, even more problematic because as we all white men are disgusting . now, white men are disgusting. now, is this a policy the royal free in north london staff to compile reports justifying why successful candidate are a white person was deemed more suitable . they must write to the trust's chief exec with evidence on how they scored the non—white

applicant frustrated staff . the applicant frustrated staff. the system is a tick box exercise which doesn't sound like the nhs . there isn't yet another level of berocca chrissy on saturday the mirror revealed how the nhs is offering more than a million quid of woke jobs such as head of diversity, etc. etc. it's beenin of diversity, etc. etc. it's been in place at the royal free nhs trust since july 2018. this particular for staff in senior positions . so there we go. they positions. so there we go. they even favour no. well, she want to know what their ultimate white paper on this panel and all obviously i think i'm doing all obviously i think i'm doing a great job. so one of you should resign and we need to get ethnic minority in and i actually won't get to play a card not an american so i'm ethnic . i'm card not an american so i'm ethnic. i'm one card not an american so i'm ethnic . i'm one female. steve. ethnic. i'm one female. steve. so it's not looking good. i'm not on the panel you can't throw me off the panel any final go. oh yeah. that sounds white privilege. out. it's privilege. get out. i think it's totally you supposed to say totally. are you supposed to say now? i thought , martin,

totally. are you supposed to say now? i thought, martin, i'm not defining everybody via isn't that white? yeah, i suppose it is technically. yeah i don't know. i just think this is so , know. i just think this is so, so undermining if you get hired and if you're a person of colour, which i believe is the right term policy post you think i would like to look then at it? so you think it's just totally belittling and what let's just call it what? it's racist, right 7 call it what? it's racist, right ? is racist. that's what it is. look if you hire someone , if you look if you hire someone, if you want the best person , the job, want the best person, the job, if it happens to be a black woman , get the black lady . if woman, get the black lady. if it's a white man, get the white man. it's an asian men. get it. get them in. it doesn't . what's get them in. it doesn't. what's important is that you get the best person for the job. i never would have hired me with this story. would you be as upset . story. would you be as upset. and i'm detecting some upset. yeah, but would you be as upset if it were that regardless of who is you then still have to do

a report on why you scored all of the candidates that way. would okay? which would that be okay? which is what was it first. what i thought it was it first. so clear said you know, so the clear said you know, here's another thing. there's already too much paperwork in the nhs there's too much bureaucracy. how about we have less of that and we just have a little bit more faith in our nhs workers for them , hire the right workers for them, hire the right person because he doesn't. we all know the interview . they're all know the interview. they're not particularly great, you know, they're not accurate. there are people who can smash interviews and be rubbish . the interviews and be rubbish. the job and i was one of those places i was i used to nail interviews had it down like that . did you go to laws? yeah, i to lots and the reason i went a lot is because i never lost that long in one of the jobs. fantastic let's move on to tuesday's guardian next. and you may have thought that with all the strikes, no one was travelling anywhere. not quite correct. is it christmas? it's not. 90 people arrived not. sadly, 90 people arrived again across craigavon, across

the channel in small boats christmas day. so we're now way over the 45,000 number that we were about to breach . done it were about to breach. done it well done. us so, you know, last yearit well done. us so, you know, last year it was 29,000 just under in 2018 it was just in the hundreds . so this number, i'm sure all know now this is just going up and up and up. so the people arrived just recently. they've been sent to a processing centre. i know that's a problem is that they're overcrowded at the moment. talked about this recently this is obviously following the deaths that happened on the 14th of september. and we know that rishi's are making plans to clear the backlog by the end of next year , but they're still next year, but they're still coming . so suella braverman has coming. so suella braverman has got some plans to restore graduate visas . so meaning that graduate visas. so meaning that when students come to uk, they won't be able to stay afterwards , they'll be more restricted . , they'll be more restricted. apparently this is this is a problem a lot of people are coming bringing their dependants as students and then staying so

i think we'll get into that story a bit more later on this small boat crossings. do you think there's a chance that we're counting more in that we're counting more in that we're paying so much more attention to it now? because i always think how they know they don't actually know how many have attempted to come across and successfully without and successfully it without detection. and successfully it without detectio that is definitely the number that is definitely the real than it real number is bigger than it was gap in a year when we was the gap in a year when we pay was the gap in a year when we pay attention . that's pay less attention. that's why in years was much in previous years it was so much lower possibly but now we really are paying attention who's are paying attention to who's trying that trying make it across that stretch water . so could stretch of water. so could part of not more attempts just of it not be more attempts just better counting? i it might well better counting? i it might well be that stephen we don't know and obviously there is a problem and obviously there is a problem andifs and obviously there is a problem and it's very important you left whether you were right that we have system have a strong immigration system that effectively screens people when they come into this country . i'm particularly looking forward to seeing what sub—saharan african country suella braverman is going to pick that she wants to deport them to. we've already had a

maybe we can have, i don't know, botswana , but you know, this is botswana, but you know, this is have a selection of african countries . you're making it seem countries. you're making it seem more like some sort of tv quiz show. and you you might pinch that channel these that it could go channel these big go and let's honest big could go and let's be honest it's more of succeeding than it's got more of succeeding than the rwanda plan so well let's , the rwanda plan so well let's, move on now to the daily star and we get reports a blood curdling scream. no not me. accidentally subscribing to francis only fan this is nice of him. what's the scoop from . it's him. what's the scoop from. it's legit so this is blood curdling screams heard maspero holy day park as christmas day ruined think the thing that would have ruined your christmas day is spend the holiday part. but there we go. so legit brew to there we go. so a legit brew to boil into a holiday park which reportedly required a police presence and resulted in families having hastily to leave distance the devon site on day . distance the devon site on day. because what happened apparently was mass brawl. they all got involved what else are you going

to do in a holiday park over christmas? police dispatch , the christmas? police dispatch, the helicopter armed officers and a dog unit to this holiday park in devon . some people said the devon. some people said the staff of the site were very upset , but others posted and upset, but others posted and said that christmas is ruined and like i said before they would spend the holiday park so there was no chance at christmas being successful . so there was being successful. so there was a couple of instances taking place. this was my favourite quote of the whole thing this time of the year, or usually usually very quiet by the accent . i'm from the west country this cornelius and i saw one surely face your body booting a full beer can down the street and he was joined by a group of rowdy looking lads fair. was joined by a group of rowdy looking lads fair . she was looking lads fair. she was pretty good for the accent. yeah i read it and i thought, well, this is a this is a christmas in the west country. of course, a fight is very strange. it starts off with just some kids kicking some around, looking in a some stuff around, looking in a shop something, then all

shop or something, and then all a there's a dog unit. a sudden there's a dog unit. it's going crazy , you know? it's going crazy, you know? look, you know, i spend a lot of my croydon that that's my youth in croydon that that's just that's what we do . that's just that's what we do. that's what it means to be british and frustrated. we're angry . we get frustrated. we're angry. we get on the side . that's what it is. on the side. that's what it is. it's amazing how different this to remember at the end of carry on films where be a food fight. yeah this thing real life yeah this thing in real life it's not as much fun as what i was led to believe it's sort of just throw food around is kicking and dogs turn up yeah i'm clear about whether it was the locals or as it was a houday the locals or as it was a holiday party was it folks that's not from around i think possibly it's locals coming in. maybe not locals . outsiders maybe not locals. outsiders coming. yeah. outsiders trying to pick up is bird or i don't know . well, that's a it's like know. well, that's a it's like a little travel down to that part of the country. we do if you're from that area, if any offence caused by those accents one of them was real she stays merritt next and there are reports of a terrible force of nature about erupt no it's not gordon ramsay

watching. kids an watching. his kids overcook an omelette . it's something much omelette. it's something much cooler . cressida yeah. omelette. it's something much cooler. cressida yeah. in omelette. it's something much cooler . cressida yeah. in the cooler. cressida yeah. in the mirror . kill cooler. cressida yeah. in the mirror. kill a volcano. whakaari erupt at any time on a larger scale, warns an expert . but, um. scale, warns an expert. but, um. i don't whether this is somebody who's got it in for the new zealand tourist board, but they're telling you that it could be very, very dangerous. having said that. sorry. so in 2019, 22 people died and one lady had burns on 70% of her body. i mean, can't imagine what it must be like being near a volcano erupting . yeah, horrific volcano erupting. yeah, horrific . so the experts are telling us this might happen again. but to say experts, it is quite vague. it could erupt any time. good really? yeah, nothing. not being specific is. well apparently haven't been able to monitor it since 19 because people haven't been able to get to the to service the seismic stations . i service the seismic stations. i don't know if that's because of covid. it doesn't say, oh, is it just stone ? i don't know. surely just stone? i don't know. surely you're isolated . you're walking

you're isolated. you're walking up to the top of volcano on up to the top of a volcano on your right. you think, is your own, right. you think, is it a good place to hang it good? a good place to hang out? so i mean, to be fair to the seismologists or whatever, it to predict it is difficult to predict stuff, like we're stuff, isn't it? like we're waiting for that big one in the sun. dry ice faults. this is we're that great at working we're not that great at working at tectonic plates are at one. tectonic plates are going shift. well, no, going to shift. well, no, i think if you you'd move think if you were, you'd move the houses. surely not the houses. surely we're not personally. real personally. i imagine real estate volcanoes estate is quite around volcanoes anyway. so as somebody who resides in london, maybe that's my only chance of earning property stateside next to a volcanic note. get a nice little bedsit . well, the next one could bedsit. well, the next one could bedsit. well, the next one could be bigger though, so the scale can creep up to alert level five. although alert level is the highest volcano can go without erupting. so i was at three and four. i didn't know once paying attention after 300 no that's my five. no listening to that. well i mean because we're all being turned into pompeii anyway right through we're all pumice. yeah tomorrow's times next sweater is tired of spouses students she

must yeah my house mistress frances. what's the story so suella braverman has drawn so suella braverman has drawn so suella braverman has drawn so suella braverman targeted spouses students in plans to cut immigration. spouses students in plans to cut immigration . and this is a story immigration. and this is a story the crusader has previously touched on. suella braverman has drawn up a blueprint for reducing immigration that would target foreign students. doesn't sound great in my does it make it to bring spouses to the uk and increase the minimum for companies employ skilled workers and so this a story the government have tried to tackle immigration they're trying to reduce because obviously with brexit one of the main reasons why people brexit was to lower immigration because they felt immigration because they felt immigration in this country was too high . and this is part of too high. and this is part of the to tackle that rishi has pledged to reduce overall immigration by next election, but he's insisted that his priority is tackling the small

crisis which has led to 4 to 5000 migrants reaching the uk illegally year and the thing is and this story is very interesting because a lot of these people are foreign students and actually that is foreign students , a way in which foreign students, a way in which the university sector actually themselves up because they charge far higher fees to the foreign students than they do to the uk based students. in fact, i we did a story a couple of weeks ago where there was some providers, i think, i believe there were medical schools only foreign students, university . foreign students, university. buckingham yeah, which makes moneywise, but yeah , i wonder if moneywise, but yeah, i wonder if we'll need doctors at any well we'll need doctors at any well we'll just them from abroad stephen. that's what we normally do. do you think this is an actual planned cut immigration or a plan be looking like or a plan to be looking like you're immigration? well you're cutting immigration? well it sound me. it does it does sound to me. it does sound like it's looking like i mean, bit confused because mean, i'm a bit confused because although to although they are trying to reduce net, i mean, all of the

immigration , we also had plans immigration, we also had plans 5 minutes ago to have growth visas to attract more highly skilled people like your doctors, maybe so that's a bit. so we're cracking down along them. but well, technically if you want to go down the maths route again, the net figure could remain at zero if for every highly person we attract, we throw out someone else. perfect. so you i'm not trying to solve all the problems, but for you know, just done once, what we need to do is we need to go down to that houday we need to go down to that holiday down the west holiday park down in the west country, bring small people country, just bring small people and kick them out . and just kick them out. brilliant. don't brilliant. well, i don't understand the saying that if you're going bring you're going to bring independence, prove that independence, got to prove that you've an extra independence, got to prove that you've got an extr per you've got an extra £680 per month per dependent. i haven't got any but that sounds got any kids, but that sounds low what do you think . a low to me. what do you think. a couple come in with an? couple can come in with an? 18,000, but 18,000 for two people with kids. well, yeah , i people with kids. well, yeah, i mean, that's only nine months. so hopefully costing me less than that, right?

so hopefully costing me less than that, right ? okay. if not, than that, right? okay. if not, we need to have a sit down and talk about the figures. it do much not yet anyway . much chatting. not yet anyway. that's it for three. coming that's it for part three. coming we have we have stay at home layabouts depressing valentine these days and incels oh i do miss my university days see in a minute .

welcome back to . the final part welcome back to. the final part of tonight's headliners let's continue with tuesday's metro and it looks like parliament wasted more than 250 tonnes of food . that's what happens when food. that's what happens when you don't invite don't have it all that's harsh. president yeah , right. 250 tonnes of food is thrown away by this year. it's outrage as they're estimating there was this was roughly equivalent weight to a boeing dreamliner. i assume that's an

aeroplane . it sounds like aeroplane. it sounds like a stripper, male stripper. i don't know what strip clubs go to say. well, it would have been a stripper. so i like this example because this is not being donated anywhere . it's binned. donated anywhere. it's binned. and what's worse is they're serving posh food. so to give you some ideas , the seasonal you some ideas, the seasonal fare being being served at the moment includes guinea fowl, apricot cranberry terrine with pickled red cabbage, clementine and salad . although i would say and salad. although i would say in their defence, food's just posh now, isn't it ? yeah. if you posh now, isn't it? yeah. if you go to a munch etymology then it's probably similar stuff being served. so i don't know , being served. so i don't know, that's fair. i think i know what you mean. everything sounds a bit posh these days, but the not that many terrains around the islands tareen has. so yeah, there's a there's a food campaigner who's campaigning against it says it's ridiculous . and to be fair, when there's a cost of living crisis going on, i mean, this is pretty outrageous. and this like there's no way this scraps

there's no way this is scraps isn't i mean, i don't know how they're measuring this, it's they're measuring this, but it's over catering is what they're being accused of , which over catering is what they're being accused of, which i think yeah, i think it is over catering . no, it does sound like catering. no, it does sound like over catering. let the meat tureen of said i'm not paying for this. not like that. yes, yes we are paying for this. and so some people are suggesting that we should be to go the that we should be able to go the people need hot meal people that need a hot meal should able go into should just be able to go into parliament wander into parliament and wander into canteen. we're guessing a train not i think is a train not hot. yeah i think is a train called punctual meal. yeah. oh so anybody should just be allowed to. one thing, to be fair, they couldn't do a worse job. goodbye no, and i want to know what happens. is there any extra booze around? extra booze lying around? we could booze. banks? could start having booze. banks? yeah finish the yeah i bet you they finish the booze , leave the food. well you booze, leave the food. well you want to know the response? are parliament spokesperson , the parliament spokesperson, the house of commons and house of lords catering services take a number measures to reduce the amount of , food waste more amount of, food waste more outlets and none of . our waste outlets and none of. our waste goes landfill . so where's it

goes to landfill. so where's it compost the mess boris just sits eating it. oh, you think boris johnson's an anti waste measure? yeah yeah, quite literally . if yeah yeah, quite literally. if they're not putting it in the landfill bin, they're putting it in the recycling and messing the system up exhaustion, the system right up exhaustion, the tureen all over plastic tureen all over your plastic have to them down first as move on now to tuesdays times and craster there's a champagne shortage threatening valentine's day now what will you drink alone ? it becomes so . we go this alone? it becomes so. we go this and this is a beautifully timed from the times considering it's a cost of living crisis all champagne hearts may be broken on. valentine's day as shampoos thirst outstrips supplies . we've thirst outstrips supplies. we've stocks are very low. apparently producers reduced sales by point 5% in november. so last time you went on that date and he said he couldn't get your champagne. turns out there may be an excuse

for the food was not at all attributable lack of customers. it's rather the champagne could be ends absent from the shelves because we don't have enough to sell so and a couple of things have been blamed for this 2020 demand fell because of the covid and apparently last year because of mildew frost. so it's a very interesting and in no way has it been a slow news day . is it been a slow news day. is it impacting your life then , the impacting your life then, the shortage of champagne . little's shortage of champagne. little's got plenty of red wine. it's fine. carry on those special days, would you accept if a partner who would you with a cava or a boot a spokesman somebody who'd . yeah no i'm i've somebody who'd. yeah no i'm i've got no i've got. i've got no standards . got no i've got. i've got no standards. now got no i've got. i've got no standards . now don't have got no i've got. i've got no standards. now don't have a palate for champagne you we've been to lots of weddings. palate for champagne you we've been to lots of weddings . well been to lots of weddings. well it's a why isn't it really. you going says make sure the first

glass is posh and after that nobody knows what they're drinking. so buy a few bottles and bring the night up. yes but you can get a lovely of. i went round to my own coach today laughing full and i bought him a lovely bottle of brut right . and lovely bottle of brut right. and it cost a few quid and. the thing i got in return because it wasn't champagne . well, if only wasn't champagne. well, if only you'd known. yeah but i said to him, i said that my friend is a quality bowler and they put another five on that and that's champagne gin. did you give him a flashy hello. no, no i didn't. i presume with my finances , move i presume with my finances, move on to the metro next and incels are among us . literally. i can are among us. literally. i can see a couple of here now. so. so yes. so tell us about these boys. francis boy, these are gentlemen who describe describe themselves being involuntary celibate on an inter website revealed what they think about women and. they say a number of very awful misogyny , interesting very awful misogyny, interesting things about women . they give an

things about women. they give an example by name. so a particular and jake davison, who was a mass shooter , killed five people, shooter, killed five people, then shot himself dead in plymouth in 2021. and it goes into incel culture and, to be fair, actually , incels now and fair, actually, incels now and i'll tell you why on my show trigonometry we actually interviewed a called william costello who is an academic at university of texas and he's an expert on incels . and he gave expert on incels. and he gave some very , very interesting some very, very interesting stats . incels so a lot of people stats. incels so a lot of people think that incels are actually right wing, 45% are actually left leaning, 79% are not in education or any form of training or employment. so neet 73% or depressed 67% suffer from anxiety . 82% have strongly anxiety. 82% have strongly considered suicide . so what you considered suicide. so what you actually have with these men are the vast majority of them are

men who see as being unable to have type of romantic relationship a woman they feel that they have ostracised from dating and they have created their own online. now a result of that you're always going to get small minority who say despicable awful things that are deeply misogynistic . but i don't deeply misogynistic. but i don't feel that the answer is to demonise these men , rather to demonise these men, rather to try and help them and try encourage them to be better . encourage them to be better. because it's quite sad, because one of the most beautiful, fulfilling lives of things in life both is to have a life as you both is to have a relationship to have a partner. it's a really lovely there is no way they'll find partner , no way they'll find a partner, no champagne, ability . who all champagne, no ability. who all part of the tinder evil, isn't it? you've probably covered that as well. you know, dating apps are just making all this stuff worse and worse because i think there's a lot of losers going on. yeah well, we need to quickly move on to our linked on. yeah well, we need to quicreally.ve on to our linked on. yeah well, we need to quicreally. ourn to our linked on. yeah well, we need to quic really. our last our linked on. yeah well, we need to quic really. our last story nked on. yeah well, we need to quicreally. our last story ised on. yeah well, we need to quicreally. our last story is in one really. our last story is in tuesday's we just tuesday's daily star. we just heard and let's about heard toxic men. and let's about how women can be toxic cressida

well, this wonderful story of, as you said, possibly possibly a slow news day as a professional stay at home daughter who's 26 now, i've got the wrong story. this is the tampon story. she's this tampon story , i can tell this tampon story, i can tell you because it's toxic was the shock stuff for now as well. so i'm toxic . i don't know the i'm toxic. i don't know the stories, but this lady had a tampon inside her for two years is two years. and i remember from school taught about toxic shock syndrome probably were in the boys class yeah i was how to be an incel or whatever. yeah but there was drilling drilling it into us. don't ever leave a tampon in, especially two years. they specifically said that this lady's she's she's now 22. i'm for reasons that are beyond me she said this on tik tok experience . yeah i mean it's not experience. yeah i mean it's not what you do is it. she said it's not this moment and she recalled having a tampon. it was painful so having it removed was painful

because in the two years i mean do stop me if you're getting grossed out. okay after we did it, one presuming we find out the end and eventually it was spoiler alert. well, that's for tonight. thanks to my brilliant guests frances foster and cressida west and headliners. we'll tomorrow at 11 we'll be back tomorrow at 11 pm. with simon evans in the driver's seat with daniel o'reilly and lewis. schaefer will be here scaring everyone along for the ride from all us at gb news. we hope you have a merry and a happy new year and it's all tomorrow. enjoy yourself. have a good night . yourself. have a good night. looking ahead to tomorrow's weather and the uk will see a cold and frosty start for many, but turning wetter in the west. here are the details . a cold and here are the details. a cold and icy start to tuesday morning across northern scotland with sleet and snow showers turning cloudy as rain hill snow arrives from the south, turning windy to a wet morning across northern ireland . brisk winds developing ireland. brisk winds developing the could be heavy at times, leading to some tricky travelling conditions cloud amounts increasing tuesday
