not the fun stuff that stops as soon as you taste wedding cake. evening, darling . but the evening, darling. but the biological stuff , you know, the biological stuff, you know, the old fashioned thing of men having penises, women having wombs and babies being born . old wombs and babies being born. old school is pretty much work since adam and eve got a bit naughty with a granny smith. but these days, even the birds and the bees don't know whether they're coming going. have to coming or going. they'll have to pee never quite got the pee and never quite got the whole birds and bees thing. i mean, how does that even work? it's not physically possible. any shouldn't be any guys look, what shouldn't be physically course, physically possible. of course, is convicted raping is that a convicted male raping was considered suitable to was even considered suitable to be housed in a woman's prison. we are, of course , talking the we are, of course, talking the incredible story of a bloke called adam graham who suddenly decided he was ashamed during his court case for violently attacking two vulnerable women . attacking two vulnerable women. adam stuck on a terrible wig, got his nails done, and a lot of pink. and i do mean a lot of pink. and i do mean a lot of pink , mate. the only female pink, mate. the only female wears that much pink is barbie.

i can't just say just helping out half any case as this in scotland. our chick with a penis . sorry, it was tempting. was nicholas sturgeon stand reformat taken on his word and sent to a female only prison . i mean, what female only prison. i mean, what the actual hell have we become where a dangerous , fully male where a dangerous, fully male body bloke is allowed anywhere near vulnerable women, let alone locked up with them? it's utter bulls and very much intended that any case, after a huge pubuc that any case, after a huge public outcry led by amazing female rights campaigners like j.k. rowling had a stroke. either was packed off to a male prison instead . and i'm thinking prison instead. and i'm thinking , “0, prison instead. and i'm thinking , no, be too long before the shaven headed, tattooed, muscular thug realises he's just an ordinary pink hating bloke after all. the amazing thing about , all of after all. the amazing thing about, all of this madness is that it's a woman, a very cranky nicholas sturgeon behind bill that actually puts both

biological and trans women at risk . stairs and screeching you risk. stairs and screeching you yesterday when she finally admitted bryson shouldn't be in admitted bryson shouldn't be in a female prison since nicky leaves her entire gender law . in leaves her entire gender law. in on one hand she evidently believes that without any medical back any of us can simply say we're a different gender and vaguely we'll go racist. chum has every to be in a woman's jail. yet on the other hand nicola now sees no rapist and is only men who can rape as need a penis. by the way , be need a penis. by the way, be allowed into a woman's prison . i allowed into a woman's prison. i mean, it's just. oh horrible. sorry and dangerous mess. most of us surely understand by now there's a difference between biological sex and gender by biological sex and gender by biological women do not have fantasies . biological men do not fantasies. biological men do not have periods or cervix is those who feel they have been born in the wrong body and want to

transition should be supported medically and legally not. this is important point used as a woke political football, but signalling politicians who have trouble with their elbows and their bottoms attempting that list, let alone what is in vaginas . which brings us very vaginas. which brings us very neatly onto labour party, led by man who infamously can't define 50% of the population . women's 50% of the population. women's rights campaigner and labour mp rosie duffield has compared the party's attitude . women as like party's attitude. women as like being in an abusive relationship and who can forget the male employees who shouted gesticulated and literally hissed at rosie when debating trans rights versus humans, women's rights . the house of women's rights. the house of commons last week . look, there commons last week. look, there is no verses by the way. it's not okay with top trumps, is it? all our rights are important and equal all our rights are important and equal. now, the fact that the men involved in that public bullying of misogyny are almost

of their behaviour, just belies belief. and that bastion of democracy, the mother of all parliaments, no less . or maybe parliaments, no less. or maybe as a keir starmer and nicholas sturgeon would have it, the birth giver of . all parliaments, birth giver of. all parliaments, right before all of that. so i'm asking you should trans prisoners trans by the way by the way have separate facilities. email me gbviews@gbnews.uk or tweet at . gbviews@gbnews.uk or tweet at. gbviews@gbnews.uk or tweet at. gb news or . to gbviews@gbnews.uk or tweet at. gb news or. to me it seems to make perfect sense that male rapists would not be sent to a female prison. i mean, it is common sense that, say, a dying art form, a after the fact is when only convicts were second rate for people with dysmorphia , this gender dysmorphia sorry teeth into this surely flies in the face of everything have to endure and for women locked in a

prison, how feels safe knowing a man is locked in there with them for asking these questions and challenging the establishment . challenging the establishment. people are labelled transphobes surely the loudest cries case of i'll strike adam should be a wake up call for everybody on both sides of the and really question the motives of some of these people at least in this case sense has and bryson is now packing his little pink suitcase , popping packing his little pink suitcase , popping his notebook on and shuffle over to the boys room. now joining me is. i'm absolutely thrilled to have him on. what a great night and very, very good on the subject is reporter benjamin butterworth . reporter benjamin butterworth. benjamin, thank you so much for coming on today and you are a very vocal and very balanced supporter of lgbt plus rights . supporter of lgbt plus rights. and i know this is a subject close to your heart as well. so i was very keen to talk to you about it because you're one of the people that can have the few people that can have this without actually this right without actually getting it. getting historic about it. so what you. famous last words. what do you. famous last words. yeah, you know people yeah, right. you know how people read it. so, benjamin, what do

you make of what's happened in scotland rapist scotland today with this rapist actually initially go into a women's mean, there women's prison? i mean, there were monologue were parts of your monologue that agreed with, like the that i agreed with, like the idea that women's rights and trans rights are exactly what they yeah, exactly. they should. yeah, exactly. maybe got a bit of the maybe i've got a bit of the latest straight favourite. you know, things that we know, those are things that we should recognise. now should should recognise. now what's is that the what's odd is that the equalities act, which governs these of that was these sorts of things. that was introduced harman and introduced by harriet harman and labourin introduced by harriet harman and labour in 2010, always said that there could be sex based exceptions to things like this . exceptions to things like this. question and so it was already the law and it wasn't the first time this has ever cropped up that a person was clearly a threat to females. shouldn't be in women's prison. so it in a women's prison. and so it was very much nicola sturgeon's interpretation to change interpretation to try and change that. have made that. the law would have made allowances that. what allowances for that. but what i really is we constantly really hate is we constantly hear these stories , this tiny , hear these stories, this tiny, god awful but tiny number of transgender people who've done crimes. some them sexual crimes like this person , and what other like this person, and what other group in society do we try to judge the rights and perception

of that whole group based on the prisoners among them, but you. i'm not saying that, benjamin. i mean, fully accept that, you mean, i fully accept that, you know, predatory male. know, this is a predatory male. okay who suddenly decided, do you do you actually believe he's genuinely transgender first of all, i mean you know, if he's been and that's what been assessed and that's what the they then the conclusion they came to then then you should take then i think you should take a person at their but that person at their word. but that is different just saying that the to woman out the threat to another woman out outweighs that which it does. right. | outweighs that which it does. right. i would just and take right. but i would just and take that view. but i made a point that view. but i made a point that a straightforward that this a straightforward question there is question because there is a thing called lesbian bisexual thing called lesbian or bisexual women have sexually women that they have sexually assaulted another woman. what do you them ? because you do with them? because actually they're in the same category, less category, but it's less newsworthy. yes of course. newsworthy. yeah. yes of course. i mean, they're all female sex attackers are not rapist, by the way, because can't do way, because women can't do that. they are women, that. who? but they are women, so belong biological so they belong biological and they belong in a in the biological female child and biological men in a male job. surely that is common sense . i surely that is common sense. i mean. on the question mean. well, hang on the question is, nicastro has introduced this thing and said, the thing and what it said, the

change she proposed was change that she proposed was that the moment you'd have to that at the moment you'd have to spend to get legal spend two years to get the legal recognition. that changes recognition. and that changes now it's three months and now that it's three months and so doesn't change the way so it doesn't change the way people are behaving to day people are behaving day to day life. one of the suggestions life. so one of the suggestions that people take from this, when you about the prisons you talk about the prisons and i think everyone that. cooper think everyone in that. cooper labour said if labour has said this, that if you're threat women, then you're a threat to women, then clearly is not right that clearly it is not right that you're prison. you're in women's prison. i thought said that, by the thought you said that, by the way, was labour mp who way, there was a labour mp who actually said the opposite. was that lloyd russell yes, that lloyd russell moyle? yes, there i believe there was a female, i believe a female labour mp. i got her name was who actually came out, was not who actually came out, said person is said no if this person is a identifying as a woman, they should in a woman's job. should be in a in a woman's job. so it's not everyone agrees with that out sorry, i've that but carry out sorry, i've lost which thought but easily lost which i thought but easily with lost what was with me. i've lost what i was saying. forgive me. where was i was i think he was telling me the nicholas sturgeon jones bill is the suggestion is so this is the suggestion that hear all time that that you hear all the time that somehow to mean somehow this is going to mean that men male sex that people men male sex attackers, male potential rapists are going to use transgender laws to go into

women's changing rooms or women's changing rooms or women's public bathrooms in order to attack them. now is where i have a serious issue, because the idea that male are dressing putting dress on and pretending to be a woman to attack is nonsense. you know, david carrick did not address on. he put a police uniform on. wayne didn't put a dress on, he put a police uniform in. huntley didn't put a dress on. he put a caretaker's. and i just to finish my point is that men who want to attack women , who are want to attack women, who are sex attackers, who are predatory by nature intention, they by nature and intention, they pretend they pretend to be women. they pretend to be women. they pretend to be figures of authority like . police. authority like. police. absolutely. that very absolutely. and that is a very flawed point i'm taking that thought. this were told this thought. this we were told this would happen. we told would not happen. we were told that trend trans women would not or predatory men, rather, would not use nicola sturgeon's bill to access vulnerable . and that to access vulnerable. and that is patently not true . we have is patently not true. we have one example already. i mean probably will this is a person called katie del bosque who , called katie del bosque who, covertly filmed a 12 year old

attempt to rape a ten year old. both offences committed woman's pubuc both offences committed woman's public bathrooms whilst wearing female clothing. so this is a male dressed as a woman and abusing children. he will probably never over that, but that obviously was before this law change. and so this law change, nothing to do with that, right. and this making this happen before the law changes. now, you are absolutely right that for the law change you needed medical advice and medical support. you didn't. because that's tell because if that's the case. tell me, when the last time you me, when was the last time you asked birth certificate to asked for a birth certificate to go loo in public? well, go to the loo in public? well, i've asked to. go for i've never been asked to. go for in—person . that's not the point. in—person. that's not the point. no, no, no. the point. no, the point. point, because point. it is the point, because because because the because some because the idea that is going stop that this is going to stop someone who wish to do that is nonsense because no one's asked for to go to the loo or for their id to go to the loo or changing but this is being changing room. but this is being by predatory access . and by predatory men to access. and we not saying trans we are not saying that trans women danger to women women are a danger to women because of course they are not. and think the situation we are and i think the situation we are now, divisive and it's now, it's more divisive and it's more problems for trans women

who just want to quietly get on with their lives. so why do we have to make it easier? predatory men have you quite rightly said , use positions of rightly said, use positions of authority to access vulnerable women. why do we give them another opportunity to get i mean, a scottish and scottish man could now say , i'm a woman man could now say, i'm a woman after three months, i can say they are woman and access women's space, but they can already look if they wanted to do that they already do that do that they can already do that because absolutely has because absolutely nobody has been for go for a p. been asked for it to go for a p. okay. that's not it works. okay. that's not how it works. and so the idea that this would change somebody wish to abuse that nonsense. idea that that is nonsense. the idea that people doing but you people already doing it but you know the truth is that the gender recognition act, which is the certificate that can change legally that was legally or gender that was passed in 2004 or five. and so these laws have in place these laws have been in place for, what, 17, years, not for, what, 17, 18 years, not three months, without any medical back up certificate at all, but those people already had to in order get the certificate you had to live in chosen gender for two years. so there demonstrable change

there was no demonstrable change in is just point at in this. it is just the point at which you are legally recognised. and what i would say is that truth this and you is that truth is this and you know because, you are an know this because, you are an outstanding journalist a outstanding journalist with a tabloid background. you're not getting way. no, tabloid background. you're not gettlook way. no, tabloid background. you're not gett look get way. no, tabloid background. you're not gett look get i'm way. no, tabloid background. you're not gett look get i'm to ay. no, tabloid background. you're not gett look get i'm to saon, you look get i'm going to say this, you are an agent of this, but you are an agent of a level of experience that you remember days, the eighties, remember the days, the eighties, when kind of stories were written about. men left, written about. gay men left, right centre. when gay man right and centre. when a gay man was or an abuser, you would was a or an abuser, you would hear day in day to try hear about it day in day to try and oh you're hanging and say, oh look, you're hanging around night, you because and say, oh look, you're hanging arotcomingiight, you because and say, oh look, you're hanging arotcoming back you because and say, oh look, you're hanging arotcoming back you bithat;e and say, oh look, you're hanging arotcoming back you bithat age i'm coming back about that age equipped stall. so we to equipped for a stall. so we to leave you there. i enjoy that. you hang around, right? women's faces, competitions have faces, sports competitions have been coming under attack. similar going on. similar theme here, going on. but it seems the tide is but now it seems the tide is turning. world athletics. i'll introducing a new open category where intersex and trans athletes can complete against men rather than being entered into women's events. now this is all linked in to obviously the benjamin and i have been having so me now to discuss this and she is so brilliant on this is olympian and women's rights

campaigner sharon . sharon there campaigner sharon. sharon there you are . thank you so much for you are. thank you so much for joining us friday night. and good evening, everybody. my studio. thank you forjoining studio. thank you for joining us. and i know it's granny time today for you, isn't it as well? so what's in your grandchildren ? funny you say we say grandma. grandma night on the favourite fridays . oh, right. okay. so fridays. oh, right. okay. so firstly, sharon, quickly what do you make of what's happened this with the scottish situation? situation and this rapist ? my situation and this rapist? my big problem with all of it is that i went up last year to evidence because of this bill. for this bill, and we weren't allowed to speak . so when it was allowed to speak. so when it was going to affect elite female athletes, elite female athletes were not allowed into holyrood to evidence. the only people that were allowed get evidence were trans activists to men to talk about women's sport. and this is my problem with the bill it was that it was very selective who was given evidence

and there were people trying to warn that this was going to happen and they weren't given a voice . so, you know, it's sad voice. so, you know, it's sad that we're in this situation. the scottish champions were given the opportunity to bring in that would protect the against sex predators . they against sex predators. they chose not to do that. so it's really sad that we've got to this place. but at long last we are getting a spotlight onto something. a lot of women activists have been talking for activists have been talking for a long time is there is a massive clash of rights and in sport you know, without doubt, i've been talking about it now for years, physically male for five years, physically male and females are different. for five years, physically male and females are different . the and females are different. the difference sport is anywhere difference in sport is anywhere between 10% and 106% male with equal hits, 160% harder than a female. so on contact sports. it's incredibly and that's just been ignored. you know the fact that we're not somehow entitled to equality and there is no science. peer reviewed studies

says that you cannot remove male puberty . the last time says that you cannot remove male puberty. the last time was in october of year, but came out of brazil, one of the biggest ones so far. and that after 14 years, they still hadn't removed the majority of male puberty advantage. so what you're asking women to do at the moment what you're asking females to do at the moment is go into a race knowing that transgender women have a biological advantage . have a biological advantage. what is the point to us having water? the world anti—doping agency that supposed to stop people from you know, from cheating and having an advantage if actually say to females , if we actually say to females, well, you're entitled to a well, you're not entitled to a level field, it's got to level playing field, it's got to be better . that's all level playing field, it's got to be better. that's all i'm saying . i just want to pick up on a couple of points you made that you you know, were ignored you you know, you were ignored when it too hollyrood i when it too hollyrood insight. i talk and women's voices talk to men and women's voices all ignored sport . do all being ignored in sport. do you the women's voices now you fill the women's voices now are increasingly being ignored in all areas and that is suddenly more acceptable than than it has been for a while .

than it has been for a while. unfortunately, in sport it's been very much a misogynistic environment anyway. you know, some of ioc and committees didn't even have a woman on their committees until 1982. and even now, the people that they have on that committees come from the middle east in most cases, or china . they don't come cases, or china. they don't come from the western where from the western world where women voice and actually women have a voice and actually we a problem this. we have a problem with this. please about it. so please do something about it. so yes. i mean, it's still a very, very difficult sports like cycling and incredibly misogynistic. one of the worst offenders with regards to actually not listening to their female all. it's female athletes at all. and it's very important that world athletics poles its athletes all of male and female , of them, male and female, because you go down to the because if you go down to the tracks the guys and tracks and you ask the guys and girls that training, they girls that are training, they will within will put that down within everything. there, including everything. one there, including the say that they think the coaches, say that they think that sport should be that women's sport should be protected the female sex and protected for the female sex and there should be an open, inclusive classification for everybody else. because i'm a big believer that sport is for everybody, needs be everybody, but it needs to be fair sexes. brian thank fair for both sexes. brian thank you so much forjoining us and have a weekend with us.

have a lovely weekend with us. there you go. it's a huge debate . coming up after the break, how can we trust be put back into the place ? so that's back in the place? so that's back in 3 minutes. don't go anywhere. it's going to get better .

welcome back. i've got a nice cup of tea in front right now. 2 to 3 officers a week will face trial for crimes such as violence against. according to the commissioner of the metropolitan, mark riley. it comes after officer david carrick asked him , was convicted carrick asked him, was convicted of 85 rapes and serious crimes. he was repeatedly reported to the force as a to women and less than two years ago. wayne cousins was found guilty of kidnapping rape and murdering

sarah everard name that still sends shivers down women's spines . poca. sends shivers down women's spines. poca. he used his position as an officer to her as she walked home. now with me more to talk about this and what the police need to do to become safer and more appropriate so it falls within. but also men are involved it's not safe for men. neither is former met police superintendent nusrat mehtab . superintendent nusrat mehtab. thank you so much for joining superintendent nusrat mehtab. thank you so much forjoining us today. giving up a friday night really appreciate because i think this is an incredible an incredible story to be talking about. i can't quite believe what i heard this week that on every week there will be a police officers going on trial for offences and we basically need to get used to that. i mean what is going on what is going on in the met? and i'm sure it's not just the met as well, by the way. no. can i just say the thing that's thousands of hard working officers who joined policing the right reason to do the right thing, serve their

communities . but what we are communities. but what we are seeing is quite horrific . and seeing is quite horrific. and you even i kind of take you know, even i kind of take a step back and think, wow, where are we? and you are absolutely right, mark rowley, the commissioner, has said that they will and we should get used to it. things are officers that go their offences came out at least to two and a half years and they've been waiting to go to court. the criminal justice system has a backlog so it's going to take time, but certainly the met police, i mean there's 43 forces out there. so is the pattern of behaviour that's seen across the forces, but it seems because it's one of the biggest forces that it has more of an issue and there's more of an issue and there's more of a highlight on the met's. now unfortunately this week we heard about the safer schools officer that yeah child and underage girl is yeah. and his offence is pre—date 2019. some of the offences that means that actually vetting and

recruitment failed because there is online recruitment . so he is online recruitment. so he actually went through the whole process of being recruited through vetting without face to face interview. and so that shows in the case you report and the hmrc that each of the forces there's no consistency , they all there's no consistency, they all do things differently . some do things differently. some forces will interview someone and everybody has a different appetite for risk and some forces will take on people have convictions . how has it got to convictions. how has it got to this state of affairs? surely women should feel safe , the women should feel safe, the streets should feel safe . a streets should feel safe. a police officer and? yeah, obviously, as we all know from what happened to sarah everard. he used his authority to murder that woman. so what have we got to this state? i don't understand. what has gone so horribly wrong . well, would say horribly wrong. well, would say things. poor leadership because, you know, it starts with leadership. i mean, particularly the police service, there are

cases across the forces. but i think what hearing is in the met so poor leadership a good operation leaders but they're not good at managing and managing people vetting is an issue and i think that's been identified over and over again in the case, seeing the hatred, see, report. so vetting recruitment and dropping of standards and do you think what what can we do about it? what i mean, obviously we all know warned that we're going to have this this endless parade of police officers actually on all sorts of hideous charges . what sorts of hideous charges. what can they do about it? what can the mayor and other forces around the country do about this? well, it needs to be a cleansing detox process and mark rowley has taken over , but rowley has taken over, but obviously his hands are tied to a certain extent because the is in special measures. however, he's got this new turnaround plan . and in that plan he sets plan. and in that plan he sets out his priorities is to good police, solid policing plan, more trust , less crime, higher

more trust, less crime, higher spend that's the strapline . and spend that's the strapline. and then there's nine priorities which he's going to look . it's which he's going to look. it's a really good solid policing plan, but think what it's missed is to tackle that culture because it's a big cultural problem here and that's been allowed to fester because this is one of the reasons you left the met, wasn't it? misogyny within the force. so you're not surprised by anything. you're you're saying. no, i absolutely not surprised. and the misconduct process, the grief in this process. and you know what, don't there isn't a safe space for whistleblowers. so when people do come forward, they be listened to. and i made a number of internal complaints regarding regarding racism but there was no safe for space me and actually they didn't protect me. so when you've exhausted all the systems and processes, you don't have a choice, but you either sit and you actually think , okay, i'll accept what's think, okay, i'll accept what's going on, or you take the choice to leave . so i did. so what i'd

to leave. so i did. so what i'd like to see moving forward is safer for people that come forward because, you know, with david carrick mentioned 95 crimes now he's colleagues gave him a name which i don't know if i'm allowed to say you. yes, yes, of course. yeah dave. yes. and because he believes in the nickname citizen because my vehicle copper. yeah, but he mean and cruel. so what? let them to believe that he was mean crow . and why did they not crow. and why did they not actually something about it. that's because the culture allows the silent majority protect so what we need is a real safe space for whistleblowers. holly feel empowered to come forward. that's how trust and confidence will be gained. otherwise it's going to be a downward spiral . going to be a downward spiral. and policing is by consent. going to be a downward spiral. and policing is by consent . and and policing is by consent. and so if the public don't consent to policing, that means the policing is at stake itself. again, the whole thing just crashes around. just just quickly, what's the worst example you came across

personally ? it's misogyny within personally? it's misogyny within the met. well, it's actually in grained in the system isn't it? it's in the dna promotion . and it's in the dna promotion. and women are not given not just the sexual. ironically, because he was run by a woman at the time. yes, she did it well. yeah. and you've got to ask yourself what happened there. but i think the whole thing i mean, the legacy, you know, we're focusing on rowley and he going to do but actually look at what happened because proceeded take was because she proceeded take was there for five years and a lot of things were allowed the systems processes that were broken weren't fixed so you know she created her own clique and i think there was too much inward looking, not outward looking. mark riley has said he's going to be ruthless. and i actually believe he is because the difference between riley and proceeded to take is that mark is actually saying we failed. what we've done is terrible and he's actually not teaching that. and one of the things that particularly he like is the fact that he's acknowledged that

leadership needs change. change comes not with reviews. it doesn't come with kind of didn't denial. it comes with actually tackling the real issue which is leadership making safe spaces for colleagues to come forward because that will span power. so that's what she's going to listen back instead of the moment, women and men, because young men get attacked quite certainly in london as well. so it's everybody's consensus you have right right. okay. have to. right right. okay. well, you much for well, thank you very much for coming in. i really appreciate, even though it's not exactly joyful listening a friday joyful listening on a friday night, it ? joyful listening on a friday night, it? right. coming up, night, is it? right. coming up, politicians trying to be celebrities and celebrities making political points . what is making political points. what is going on next? i'm talking matt hancock and rod stewart, not names out to put together, but that's we are so back off this very break please join us for that.

up. matt hancock i really i'm sorry, i want to use his name ehhen sorry, i want to use his name either, but. matt hancock braved his time in the jungle, crowing about how he would beat a 90, his to hospice and raise his fate to a hospice and raise awareness this. lex yeah, awareness of this. lex yeah, well , he came awareness of this. lex yeah, well, he came through a whole chicken, my nose, 3% has been donated . marvellous. well done donated. marvellous. well done that. donated. marvellous. well done that . meanwhile, rod stewart is that. meanwhile, rod stewart is urging the tour is to give labour a chance but should they be staying out of each other's lanes now? joining me absolutely thrilled to say great guests on the friday night is neil fox, presenter, deejay, all around , presenter, deejay, all around, wonderful person, knows a lot about music and actually knows sir rod stewart personally . so sir rod stewart personally. so let's start on the rod stewart story. and so basically, roger up a tv , live tv show this and up a tv, live tv show this and as a lifelong tory he said time for the tories . go give labour for the tories. go give labour a chance now. what do you think about what he did. well to be fair, the big story that came

out of why he called up the news channel was because that was a story about people not being able to get x—rays and scans. and he had gone to have a private one and he had walked in. and of course, it was completely empty. so he said i'd, like to donate some money and try to help some people go and try to help some people go and some scans. think and get some scans. and i think he hasn't that for he hasn't done that for political he's done it political reasons. he's done it just he's nice bloke, just because he's a nice bloke, genuine, genuinely thinking, i've help. i've got money, i can help. okay, so i think that's okay, which. so i think that's very think it's very nice. i think it's interesting we were watching the film last night, my wife i, film last night, my wife and i, the goes back to that time the which goes back to that time when and had when princess diana died and had just elected sort go just been elected. he sort of go back to feels a little bit back to it feels a little bit like we are sort at those times again when however much of a tory voter you might be, you kind go, oh my god, this is kind of go, oh my god, this is just so badly wrong now. just going so badly wrong now. they have lost the plot. they seem to have lost the plot. maybe time to have maybe it's time to have something different, whatever maybe it's time to have somimayg different, whatever maybe it's time to have somimay be. fferent, whatever maybe it's time to have somimay be. now it, whatever maybe it's time to have somimay be. now i, whatever maybe it's time to have somimay be. now i think ever maybe it's time to have somimay be. now i think that that may be. now i think that was a very different choice. maybe in 1997, because blair seemed to be something fresh. and i'm not sure what we've got this fresh new offered this fresh new being offered right? times . i

right? so different times. i don't think rod's really being very political here. and he's certainly not end of his career. i to say, he does. no, i have to say, he does. no, i actually don't think so. i think it's amazing. think . a it's amazing. and i think. a lovely do. yeah. lovely thing to do. yeah. and penny lancaster does an amazing job working a as a support job working as a as a support officer , doesn't does officer, doesn't she? she does pound bay . but mean, it's pound the bay. but i mean, it's very unusual. mean , obviously, very unusual. i mean, obviously, rock music or pop music rock and roll music or pop music has always been linked to politics, hasn't it? it has. i mean , it's of the together. mean, it's part of the together. i mean, they do look great, you know, if you think of bono, what he's campaigned against, but go back to the 50, 6070s where there was against racial problems or war. i think of, you know, edwin starr or dylan know, edwin starr or bob dylan or cooke , a change is going or sam cooke, a change is going to they've always been to come. they've always been great protest songs. so people have involved have always got involved politically because they're human they see what's human beings and they see what's going they might like going on and they might not like it they write a song and it and they write a song and sing about it. people sometimes get they should get funny saying they should keep their noses it. but keep their noses out of it. but i human beings, they i mean, are human beings, they live they have live in same world, they have brains , they have feelings, they

brains, they have feelings, they are to surely in a free are allowed to, surely in a free world, say what they like because that's some of the criticism rod has faced. it's like, well, you know, even though what he offered was very kind, is willing to pay for scotland's for people because that's doing, that's what he was doing, i believe a cancer check—up . so, believe a cancer check—up. so, you been but you know, he's been shown but people said, look, keep people have said, look, keep your of it. none of your nose out of it. none of your nose out of it. none of your business, especially something so sort of like straight get rid the straight as get rid of the tories let's get labour in. but why that wrong that why is that so wrong that someone who is sir stewart someone who is sir rod stewart is 78 years of age. this month he has a view about it. is 78 years of age. this month he has a view about it . there he has a view about it. there are a lot of people talking about this in the pubs, on tv shows or at work, just going, oh my god, what are doing in government at the moment? they seem getting so many seem to be getting so many things wrong. maybe we need a change. he's not really saying anything of other anything that lots of other people talking people maybe aren't talking about paper, day about in every paper, every day or channel. so he's or in every tv channel. so he's just a normal human being, just going maybe it's time for a change and you do know rod, don't you? you've met him a couple times. me the story couple times. tell me the story

about about many times. but about you, about many times. but ihave about you, about many times. but i have to say, i've never been more drunk in my life than rod stewart. him and his team got me hook, sinker in a hook, line and sinker in a drinking game. and i've never, never been so drunk and i've never been so drunk and i've never touched grappa again in my life . full stuff, but very life. full stuff, but very funny, man and a lovely man and a man to gentlemen. got to talking about it. shall we talk about matt hancock briefly as well then, who managed to spend three weeks in the jungle for my dyslexia when i think mentioned it three times. yeah. i it about three times. yeah. i don't whether someone don't know whether someone reminded wasn't talking reminded him he wasn't talking about much. think he'd about it very much. i think he'd just to the end and just come to the end and thought, let's go in, cash in. i don't think he came across. i'm amazed he lasted as long as he did. but maybe did. maybe but that's maybe because slightly sick because people are slightly sick and going, let's make and brilliant going, let's make and brilliant going, let's make and the challenges. and keep doing the challenges. but i don't know how you said it was 3% of. yeah but he guarantees that i said well 3% is better than no% there's no there's nothing. that said he had to donate all it but he did sort of was he did make a big

and he got paid pretty close to £400,000 maybe more than 3. i'll be honest that's not going to read very well. i know that's not so. he should have given more so and i don't think it's done really any good. i have to be honest, can't say be honest, i can't really say what he's going to be doing next. is he going to be hosting a tv show? is he not sure. a tv show? is he i'm not sure. so of the two of them now, if you to guess vote, yes, you were to guess my vote, yes, he million reasons. but a he for a million reasons. but a genuine decent, nice human being. can you ever being. yeah. can you ever remember another rock star, pop star getting as directly involved, though, actually phoning up , involved, though, actually phoning up, not even scheduled to be phoning a live show and to be phoning a live tv show and saying get rid of the tories ? saying get rid of the tories? that's not why he phoned up he no, i know, i guess i can't remember. what is it actually i have to say. i don't know the answer to that question , but i'm answer to that question, but i'm sure people have got involved. one, they've said they've they've actually their views, they've actually their views, they allowed have views they are allowed to have views and you know, many rock people do. they criticise rock stars, though , for saying or actors for

though, for saying or actors for having political the thing that really me is when celebrities get involved in political things up, for example , maybe like the up, for example, maybe like the environment will tell everyone to be great and then they'll jump to be great and then they'll jump on learjet and fly. so they say hypocrisy up. people say hypocrisy gets up. people noses. yes people having a view doesn't to irritate people as yeah and i have to mention that it's a balance here that some of the criticism raj is like is this the same rod stewart that actually when taxes were very high this country , up sticks high in this country, up sticks and went to america to avoid paying and went to america to avoid paying super high taxes ? paying the super high taxes? there little bit of there is a little bit of hypocrisy there maybe. i think it's just a lot more convenient to live in america and bet they get nailed on tax of the states too. yeah they do. and i'm not offended you're angling for another drinking with on another drinking with him on your drink with your tax bill. i'll drink with rod right time. rod stewart right next time. next rod, us an next time, rod, just give us an invite as well. i'd like to discuss we discuss this further. we obviously, not necessarily obviously, but not necessarily with grandpa. thank you very much off you much because i'll get off you very what do with very soon. what do you do with your bananas? right. your bananas? okay. right. coming should keep

not hello. welcome back. it's friday. we're having some fun. i brought benjamin and neil back into the studio i should if i went anywhere because we talked but it's not any anything and we're joined by nutritionist and food safety price that's food safety monica price that's what mentioning nuts now the what i'm mentioning nuts now the age argue ben of where do age old argue ben of where do you keep your rages on and monica is here with some expert advice on where you keep your eggs nuts bananas. i and cucumbers who wrote cucumbers in there come on down all aubergine and monica monica. so tell us

about food got funchess where have spots why we're doing this fun quiz for a off market make room i've been well the reason why is because lots of people think about where their food goes and they don't realise that some lighter go in the fridge and some items need to just go in the cupboard. so i, we put together a little quiz to see test your skills where the test your skills on where the food go right away. okay. food should go right away. okay. so eggs , so eggs then where do so eggs, so eggs then where do you think they should go in the fridge or in the cupboard. definitely in the cupboard in the cupboard. yep. i think it's bad. them in the fridge and bad. put them in the fridge and i say cupboard because i was gonna say cupboard because i was gonna say cupboard because i that in the news this i read that in the news this week. abc cheese. yes i read the papers girlie. schwartz what would you say on. um, i don't do eggs.i would you say on. um, i don't do eggs . i tell you, they actually eggs. i tell you, they actually they the experts say cupboard. you're actually wrong. oh, okay. because you see, we buy eggs, so

. and the eggs are just in the supermarket, the shelves. and then when we get them , we then when we get them, we automatically put them into our fridge. actually, they're better if . keep at room if. you keep them at room temperature and. the reason is, is because you're cooking is because when you're cooking as lots of celebrity as well, like lots of celebrity chefs, i think mark james said that he only uses eggs that are kept at room temperature because. when you're cooking, when they're when you're baking, they're actually it's just i'm actually it's just it's just i'm just jealous of anyone that can afford it. so right next, nick thinks essex going on as you've got bananas should we go for bananas okay but it's all right so bananas now. bananas. what do you think should they remain in your cupboard ? should they go in your cupboard? should they go in your cupboard? should they go in your fridge . i'll say leave them your fridge. i'll say leave them out. just should be in the cupboard, not fridge. you never put them in the fridge. but i'm just going to go with the fridge because maybe logically we're swapping outs. no, it's actually copied again. now again just leave on side and leave them out on the side and the is because you've the reason why is because you've this banana here and you this lovely banana here and you know what this place is a lovely

banana. you see the reason why now pass without looking all that now the reason why this is going brown is because bananas are good. if you're are really good. if you're looking for anything to ripen put the banana next to the fruit or vegetable ripen because or vegetable to ripen because it's an enzyme it's already released an enzyme is going brown . so if is why it's going brown. so if you put them in the fridge, bananas don't like cold. so by keeping temperature keeping them room temperature and you put them next and especially you put them next to all the fruit, then they're going to ripen that fruit. but that's why bananas also should be themselves. i keep be kept on themselves. i keep mine on top of my fridge. yeah oh, you? there we are. oh, do you? well, there we are. you i seriously wonder you see, i seriously wonder where going. right where we were going. that right . as nuts has come . i think nuts as nuts has come up. oh, this is. . i think nuts as nuts has come up. oh, this is . this nuts. what up. oh, this is. this nuts. what do you. what would you do with your nuts now. okay well, thanks for asking. it's a lovely family . i don't keep my nuts in the fridge. okay. what would you say ? i don't eat nuts. oh, okay i mean, i try to go vegan, so that meant eating a lot of nuts. but

i don't have them at home. okay, but if i was guessing a cup. a cup of tea? yeah no, most people think cup it, but actually it's fridge . fridge. now the reason fridge. fridge. now the reason why is because they can be stored in the fridge. of course, you can because don't forget, fridges are a method preservation so they keep things lasting . but however the flavour lasting. but however the flavour and the way the nut grows it again , it likes warmth so it's again, it likes warmth so it's better to get out, you know, it's just, you know, it's in hot sauce. all right? okay we've finished on that one. yes, my finishing. i keep this in the fridge by the way, and obviously i'm having it now because it's friday. right. okay i come from one to another. it's a very, very lovely mark dolan. and what's up on the show? what's coming up on the show? mark neesom will try mark dolan dawn neesom will try to have a nutty 3 hours. it's mark dolan tonight right through until 11. we've got the papers my big opinion monologue , my my big opinion monologue, my take it ten, my all star panel and much more. but first clips of the week see shortly . cheers. of the week see shortly. cheers.
