9:08 pm
injured palestinians , these injured palestinians, these vehicles are full of grenades and ak 47 seconds and other instruments of death . what a let instruments of death. what a let down hamas have been with the halo having slipped for these brutal murderers. you'd expect woke progressives going on marches straight after the horrors of the october the 7th attack would be having a change of heart. well i'm afraid not. welcome to the clown world of 2023, where the officially nice be kind brigade. much better humans than you and me. fill the streets of our great cities every weekend to signal not just their virtue, but their crushing ignorance of middle eastern politics and history and their utter lack of empathy for israelis who face an existential threat or who, face, to be blunt , a second holocaust. you'd think , wouldn't you, that think, wouldn't you, that politicians and high profile celebrities would back off from any connection with this death cult which these marches inevitably offer support to, by
9:09 pm
implication? well they enter stage left former footballer and part time junk food salesman and saint gary lineker, who backs a controversial palestinian protest march through london on armistice day, a day reserved for the memory of those we lost in two world wars, he challenges the idea posed by the home secretary, suella braverman , secretary, suella braverman, that these are hate marches , that these are hate marches, even though every time they happen there are calls for a holy war. the elimination of the state of israel and the wiping out of jews sounds pretty hateful to me . these marches are hateful to me. these marches are suffused with anti—semitic slogans and rhetoric, but gary seems to have missed that . seems to have missed that. perhaps he needs to see some vr footage of the kind of horrific language and sentiment that makes jews now afraid to live in their own country . i'm no their own country. i'm no historian, gary, but that sounds like 1930 germany to me , a like 1930 germany to me, a penod like 1930 germany to me, a period in history that you're
9:10 pm
always keen on referencing, except when the parallel is so obviously appropriate. like now it's like those woke people for whom everyone's a except actual is bringing more embarrassment to our national state broadcaster, the bbc, who themselves have had an absolute nightmare in their israel coverage . lineker is presumably coverage. lineker is presumably comfortable with people marching in front of the cenotaph next weekend as reads allayed, with protesters likely breaking the two minute silence designed kind to remember the war dead like the captain of a pub team playing in the fa cup final, lineker is woefully out of his depth here, for example. he's all for the ceasefire, which means giving hamas time to regroup and prepare for more murder . regroup and prepare for more murder. don't take my word for it here is a charming hamas spokesman on who i'm assuming will be sending gary lineker a bottle of bubbly as a thank you for the unintended support. this is hamas official ghazi hamad ,
9:11 pm
is hamas official ghazi hamad, who says we will repeat the october the seventh attack time and again until israel is annihilated. we are victims. everything we do is justified . everything we do is justified. what a charming man i'll assume that includes beheading babies . that includes beheading babies. now, lineker does not support hamas. of course not. his supporters would argue that he's worried, as we all are, about the horrific carnage playing out in gaza. as we speak. men women and children dying, in gaza. as we speak. men women and children dying , hospitals and children dying, hospitals overflowing . it's a humanitarian overflowing. it's a humanitarian disaster for lineker is right to point this out. and he's right to be horrified . but this to be horrified. but this carnage is not by accident, but it's by design . this is the it's by design. this is the military strategy of hamas to weaponize human souls. hamas blocked roads to stop people in gaza heading south, and they deliberately place innocent people , including children, in people, including children, in harm's way, which is why hamas
9:12 pm
will be loving these calls for a ceasefire for given that these are heartless monsters, baby beheadings and rapists in possession of over 200 hostages is a ceasefire against hamas. is akin to a ceasefire against hitler himself. lineker was a great footballer and is a great broadcaster, but not for the first time. by straying into complex political issues . i complex political issues. i think he's divisive , deluded and think he's divisive, deluded and wrong . i'm sorry, but i don't wrong. i'm sorry, but i don't buy the nice guy routine . it's buy the nice guy routine. it's my view that lineker is a preening narcissist who will stop at nothing to build his brand as a professionally lovely human being. insulate it from the grim consequences of his luxury beliefs as he tweets from the comfort of his london mansion . it's high time this mansion. it's high time this ex—footballer was sent down the tunnel for an early bath. as usual , he's talking balls .
9:13 pm
usual, he's talking balls. your reaction, mark, at gbnews.com or get to your email shortly. but let's hear from tonight's top pundits. comedian suella curci. conservative peer kulveer ranger and radio and television legend mike reid. let me start with you, sir. your reaction to gary lineker's recent pronouncements ? he was recent pronouncements? he was very quiet on october the 7th when the massacre happened . when the massacre happened. >> i don't know because i don't follow gary lineker. i don't follow gary lineker. i don't follow . i follow gary lineker. i don't follow. i don't follow gary lineker. i don't follow . i don't follow. i follow gary lineker. i don't follow. i don't follow. i mean , follow. i don't follow. i mean, i kind of disagree with the opening statement . you said, i'm opening statement. you said, i'm starting to go off hamas. i was never on them. and any sane person wouldn't be supporting . person wouldn't be supporting. >> hopefully you will have detected my tongue in my cheek. >> i of course i did. as a as a fellow comedian, of course i did. but i was also playing with you sir. but yeah , i you there, sir. but yeah, i mean, obviously no one's going to be supporting hamas. the
9:14 pm
interesting the last interesting thing is in the last week , i've noticed on a personal week, i've noticed on a personal level is how your jewish friends and friends were falling and muslim friends were falling out. that's not that's not out. and that's not that's not that's not cool because this is happening somewhere else. and the time that i've seen the first time that i've seen this divisiveness. so in one of the other things you say about like not having the march on on remembrance day , i mean, i am remembrance day, i mean, i am neven remembrance day, i mean, i am never, ever to going say no to protest because protest is something that we have fought hard for. and that's right. that we should protest. could the war should it be should it be on one day? yeah. okay but it could also be pointed my learned colleague is has a cough would you like some water? yeah. >> mike, by the way. absolutely full of the latest covid variants. so keep up. yeah, yeah. >> it up. >> suck it up. >> suck it up. >> hug earlier. so i'll be going down but listen, down shortly. but listen, i appreciate point. mean, appreciate your point. i mean, you're worried the nature you're worried about the nature of the debate on this issue. i you're concerned that it's not balanced and think it's balanced. >> i don't think it is balanced. like so, know, we've talked
9:15 pm
>> i don't think it is balanced. like so, i know, we've talked >> i don't think it is balanced. like so, i was)w, we've talked >> i don't think it is balanced. like so, i was here e've talked >> i don't think it is balanced. like so, i was here aboutrlked >> i don't think it is balanced. like so, i was here about bias . last time i was here about bias. okay. the bbc bias. but the bias here is, you know, the news gb news that's i've been watching . news that's i've been watching. it's replace every it's like if you replace every time i hear the word muslim, if you replace that with jewish, how sound? so you replace that with jewish, how already sound? so you replace that with jewish, how already becoming so you replace that with jewish, how already becoming like, so you replace that with jewish, how already becoming like, oh , we're already becoming like, oh, the bbc going to do this and the bbc are going to do this and that. you know that. and actually, you know what? out of this. what? no one wins out of this. no actually having the no one is actually having the march on. i think it might be pointed have it on pointed to have it on remembrance is remembrance day because it is a time to remember our dead. it is a time to reflect and hope for a peaceful future. now we are actually dangerously on the cusp of world war three. and it's actually it's quite scary . so actually it's quite scary. so and when you also say, you know, he's an expert who is with he's not an expert who is with all due respect , you're not an all due respect, you're not an expert. sure. an expert. expert. sure. i'm not an expert. muslims aren't experts. jewish aren't people aren't experts. you in uk, you know, living in this uk, israeli people aren't and nor palestinians, because over the years what's happened is that we've been fed propaganda, you know, through through the media, through like leaders. a lot of
9:16 pm
people in israel don't even know what's going on. and if they do question it, they're getting punished over there. so they don't want the regime that they're under either in israel. and also, if there is a if and also, so if there is a if there's a way out, do you not think we would have found it by now? and i don't think and i've neven now? and i don't think and i've never, ever, ever going to say it's okay for violence or war or to kill people indiscriminately, whether it's hamas doing it or whether it's hamas doing it or whether it's hamas doing it or whether it's israel doing. i'm neven whether it's israel doing. i'm never, ever going to say that. and i don't think it's our war. i absolutely do not think it's our war. okay >> well, look, i am not an expert, kulveer, but i've been on planet long enough to on this planet long enough to know happened on the know that what happened on the 7th october was terror 7th of october was a terror attack on the democracy in attack on the only democracy in the middle east. >> and the express intent of hamas is the destruction of israel and the elimination of all jews. and i'm afraid that there was strong anti—semitic rhetoric on every single one of those marches. and no doubt there will be again, if it happens next weekend. >> and i think that's that's the problem here, because i agree
9:17 pm
with could have a with sajida. if we could have a peaceful, unified march where everybody spoke sensibly about what they were trying to achieve. yes but we're not going to have that. we're going to have potential slogans , have potential slogans, potential calls, potential things that are anti—semitic being said, because that's what's been happening every saturday when these marches are happening, no matter what the organisers are saying and that's the worry for people. how do you how do you manage that? how do you that becoming a hotbed you stop that becoming a hotbed for activity? back to for activity? but coming back to a other points on on a couple of other points on on gary you were gary lineker, you were absolutely right, mark. he's a nice . he was a guy who never nice guy. he was a guy who never got in his entire career got booked in his entire career playing football. i loved him. he played our beloved spurs. he played for our beloved spurs. so, huge of on so, you know, huge fan of him on the but not off the football pitch, but not off because played by the rules. because he played by the rules. let's are no let's be clear. there are no rules here. you're right. terror ist terror acts hamas on the ist terror acts by hamas on the democracy of israel . this is a democracy of israel. this is a war against terrorism, not two states arguing the last time this happened where there was an existential crisis in europe, we
9:18 pm
carpet bombed other cities . we carpet bombed other cities. we weren't talking about innocent civilians. we were bombing them in germany to just get rid of the. so we have to understand the. so we have to understand the rules of war are not comforting. they are not things we can easily embrace and we will see death and destruction and civilian casualties . liz, and civilian casualties. liz, it's terrible. no one wants to see it. but this was terror that was an attack on israel , not a a was an attack on israel, not a a balanced two states having a having a disagreement . having a disagreement. >> suella yeah, i was going to say, but that's like saying that the anti—war rally, anti—iraq march, that that was a terrible thing. and that wasn't that was wrong. and history shows, you know what i'm saying is history showed that that was wrong. and i think history will show that actually marches actually pro—palestinian marches and yes, there is a small minority and they should be outed. i think they outed. and i do think they should arrested . i totally outed. and i do think they shoultwith arrested . i totally outed. and i do think they shoultwith thatted . i totally outed. and i do think they shoultwith that because tally outed. and i do think they shoultwith that because that is stand with that because that is unacceptable. anti—semitism , unacceptable. any anti—semitism, any any racism any any phobia, any racism should be. i'm not never going to that's but i to say, yeah, that's okay. but i think history will show that
9:19 pm
this is right we have. this is the right we have. >> is that those leaders, those people marching. i it people are marching. i find it very call out hamas very difficult to call out hamas as done the wrong thing as having done the wrong thing in terror attacks. who in their terror attacks. but who are people? in their terror attacks. but who are because ople? in their terror attacks. but who are because we're now looking >> because we're now looking going virgin, going to the virgin, to the thoughtcrime, unless they're actually they're actually visually or they're actually already saying something can we can something is we can we can return to this at because return to this at 1030, because i the point i i think the other point that i would to for would argue is to call for a ceasefire is to tell israel to suckit ceasefire is to tell israel to suck it up and accept their own essentially their own existential crisis. essentially their own exisyou.ial crisis. essentially their own exisyou .ial crisbecause bottom >> you know, because the bottom line is hamas is express intent is jews is to destroy all jews and israel . and i think that's the israel. and i think that's the problem with ceasefires , is it problem with ceasefires, is it it them incapable of it renders them incapable of defending themselves. >> you seeing the images >> and are you seeing the images that coming of palestine that are coming out of palestine or the dead children of all the dead they have any dead people, they don't have any arms. not holding any arms. they're not holding any weapons. they're not they're not holding any weapons. they're not they're saying that they're weaponizing are weaponizing civilians. they are not terrible. but that >> that was terrible. but that is consequence of the is the consequence of the actions that hamas have taken. >> and where the hostages? >> and where are the hostages? they're hostages are now they're the hostages are in now are in gaza. okay. in gaza. are in in gaza. okay. in gaza. and they are bombing gaza. so what's that these what's to say that these

9:38 pm
fireguard brilliant stuff. well, look, strong opinions. if you want to defend gary, do drop me an email mark at gbnews.com. but as we've been asking in the course of today in an exclusive mark dolan tonight people's poll, as lord frost says, he is a natural conservative of should nigel farage take over the tories if they lose the next election? the results are in. 75% say yes , farage should take 75% say yes, farage should take over the tories, 25% say no. he should not. let's get reaction from my top pundits . sajeela from my top pundits. sajeela curci lord kulveer ranger and mike reid. covid can i ask you about that? do you think that nigel should step back into the political fray? if the tories collapse in a year's time? >> i think there's two questions there. one is about whether nigel will into the nigel will step back into the political has political fray and i think has nigel ever stepped away? he seems have, you know, seems to have, you know, quite rightly, cosy tv rightly, it's just a cosy tv presenter now. >> well, me but but and a campaigner fighting the banks. >> and of course it's true. >> and of course it's true. >> it's true. and i think that's
9:39 pm
great things that nigel does. yeah. with draws yeah. with the way he draws attention to certain issues and obviously he did obviously the things he did around brexit. the around brexit. but the conservative party, the most successful political election winning party in the world in the last two, 300 years, a broad church, a party that isn't dnven church, a party that isn't driven by ideology , it's driven driven by ideology, it's driven by pragmatism and has has done good things in its way because it talks to a broader group of people. it's not about one dimension. it's not about one issue, not very ideological either. >> no. >> no. >> so with nigel, he would be, as i think the prime minister said, welcome ed into the party. but i don't think nigel would be leader of the party. >> what do you think, mike? i think that he could really move the for tories if they the dial for the tories if they face almost existential face an almost existential collapse in year's time. yes collapse in a year's time. yes >> the if they collapsing, they need strong leader. mean, need a strong leader. i mean, nigel , what, 92? something nigel went, what, 92? something like that. he left the tory party. yeah, he's saying he
9:40 pm
won't come back, but he shoots from the hip. he tells it like it is. he doesn't mess around. whereas a lot of politicians will avoid the truth. avoid talking about this. avoid various topics. nigel shoots from the hips, whether he is too much of a one man band to be the leader in, as you say, of a broad church . i don't know. he's broad church. i don't know. he's very much his own man. whether he would listen to other people, i don't know. but i've done been a lot of stages with nigel and he is very good. he gets the finger pointed at him unnecessarily , i think. well, unnecessarily, i think. well, people are having a go at him, but he's fairly honest. but i think he's fairly honest. he's straight and he's he's fairly straight and he's fairly decent and they always say racist, he's not. he say racist, but he's not. he just shoots from the hip and tells it like it is, which is good, which is i think, what you want in politics. you want someone whether someone to be honest, whether you them or not, you disagree with them or not, as long as they're honest. >> definitely. now, he >> most definitely. now, if he became the became leader of the conservative and conservative party and i realised lots realised there were lots of hoops would to jump hoops he would have to jump through, to be
9:41 pm
through, he'd have to be presented safe seat, presented with a safe seat, perhaps mid term, you know, a perhaps mid term, you know, in a couple of years after the couple of years time after the election the tories election in. but if the tories thought they could win with him, you know how pragmatic that party . so do you think that party are. so do you think that nigel, if he were to lead the tories at some point in the future, he could get into number 10 as prime minister? >> yes, he could. has said >> yes, he could. he has said this week that he wouldn't do it if he was asked. he said very sweet of you, lord frost, but i'm not going to do that i'm not going to do it. that said, he's also said to me, never say never. people do change their minds in politics, as we all know . you know, he as we all know. you know, he could be for turning down sir keir. yeah, he could be for turning sajeela what do you think about this ? think about this? >> i agree with both the >> i can agree with both the guys here. i think he's a natural leader . but will he be natural leader. but will he be the tory party leader ? you no, the tory party leader? you no, because you've got to do a lot. i think you'd have to join in, as you say, like a smaller seat. i can't see it and i can't see that all the values of the tory party, i don't i don't see that .
9:42 pm
party, i don't i don't see that. what if they blending with with i think i think nigel really good at like you know not that i necessarily agree with it but like with pushing brexit ahead like with pushing brexit ahead like the whole thing on like the whole bank thing on causes , on specific causes. but causes, on specific causes. but as an all rounder i don't i don't think so. >> could i also say because whenever the tory party has seen a challenge in the last one was after was in 2000 when we were sort of coming up to the 2005 election. you know, there had been a problem with leadership. we'd been out of power for since 97.the we'd been out of power for since 97. the tory party it took its time, but it really needed to look at where is britain at that point. and that's where david cameron emerged . that was where cameron emerged. that was where it looked and it looked at itself and it's all the options. there was david davis, who was seen sure footed, was to seen as a sure footed, was to going be the leader. liam fox , going be the leader. liam fox, ken you know , good solid ken clarke, you know, good solid rock , solid tories who but, but rock, solid tories who but, but they were the past and the tory party needed the future and it found david cameron if, if the tory party needs a future again,
9:43 pm
it will look to the future. and unfortunately it's not going to be. nigel farage briefly. sorry i mean, it can't be. nigel farage. >> would you serve under nigel farage as leader of the conservative party and would he be a good prime minister? >> i think nigel farage is a good campaigner. >> i think nigel farage is a good campaigner . would you consent? >> would you consent to him being the leader? >> i don't think he'd make a good prime minister because because he's good individual because he's a good individual for all the things that we've said. okay could that. said. okay and he could do that. and you know, the sidelines, he has huge political power. >> all right? the leaders are natural . they're not elected, natural. they're not elected, you leader and you know, a natural leader and prime a different prime minister is a different job, who a natural job, though, who is a natural leader minister is a very >> prime minister is a very prime minister, is a very different job to being not available. >> there you go. well, look, there you go. a bit of an there you go. that's a bit of an exclusive lord ranger exclusive lord kulveer ranger not approval not giving the seal of approval to notion of nigel farage to the notion of nigel farage becoming leader of the tories after the next election. let me know your thoughts on this. would nigel farage be a good prime minister he a prime minister should he have a crack the job? could save

9:50 pm
in the mud and kind of the perfect childhood to cause a bit of chaos with and was there one particular horse that caused you to fall in love with this sport at depher ? honestly, not the at depher? honestly, not the first horse i sat on that one booked me on a regular basis . it booked me on a regular basis. it was the devil on four legs. so definitely not the first one. i'd say my one at the moment is pretty cool. he's he's my heart horse sort of thing. i can go to him if i've had a really poorly day and just sit with him in the stable. bite stable. he'll still bite me. he'll still cheeky . but he'll still be cheeky. but having that connection with animals is animals is pretty special. is that jack , that video there was that jack, that video there was me me. so that used to be a friend's horse. actually >> but your current horse, your best mate, is that jack who you won the championships with this year ? year? >> yes. so that was jack who won the championships. >> yes. so that was jack who won the championships . and that's the championships. and that's me. there um, so, yeah, but just, i don't know. the animals. there's something so different
9:51 pm
about them. they've all got their different personality and, you it's a different you know, it's a different language as well. so you're trying with them trying to communicate with them and, you know, get that message across. it's it's a lot to do. yeah >> and being thrown off a horse , >> and being thrown off a horse, it's never great, is it? but it can't be great you have spina can't be great if you have spina bifida . bifida. >> no . so funnily enough, i had >> no. so funnily enough, i had spinal surgery when i was 18 months old and my parents asked the surgeon there and then, you know, do we need to wrap her in bubble wrap? how careful do we need to be? and he stood there and said, business as usual. let her ride. let her do whatever he wants. she wants. he was also horsey, too. and he just said, let her crack on. obviously go and get an x ray if you need to, but life's for living now. >> you were born with this condition. has it changed over the years ? the years? >> yeah, it's something that always kind of changes and develops . it's slightly develops. it's slightly different for everyone . so you different for everyone. so you neven different for everyone. so you never, you know, there's no set thing. it's going to be x , y, z. thing. it's going to be x, y, z.
9:52 pm
you just kind of have to adapt as and when necessary. yeah for sure. >> and you've done a lot of work in schools and elsewhere highlighting the issue of people suffering a hidden illness. why is this so important to you? the idea of a hidden illness definitely so. >> i grew up, um , mainly with my >> i grew up, um, mainly with my bladder and bowel not working and my legs. so it was never visible. i chose to hide it and keep it quiet, which was very challenging. obviously trying to stay healthy, have all of these treatments and then also keep it a secret. it's like a secret that you just wanted to keep . that you just wanted to keep. when i began being tube fed and i had a nasal tube, all of a sudden it's not so easy to hide it. and i began visiting schools to raise awareness of invisible illnesses and try and create more of a positive narrative around it. i think if we can get into schools, children, when you're already forming those social ideas , before you really social ideas, before you really understand what's right or wrong, and then they can grow up
9:53 pm
with the knowledge that, well, it's not a bad thing, that someone else is different, they might need more support. i can be the support them . and be the one to support them. and with the aim creating with all of the aim of creating a future other a better future for other children like myself, you've achieved great things in sport and in the charity sector. >> you speak so well. frankly you could have my job, but it's clearly you're one of those people that you're not interested in, in having a barrier, anything stopping you, what drives you to sort of pursue these challenges in the light of quite significant symptoms ? symptoms? >> i must admit, i think you have to be a little bit crazy. >> all of the best people are . >> all of the best people are. you've got to just have something you love doing that much that actually it doesn't matter if you're kind of going through hell on the outside and if you've got something that keeps your focus, can just keeps your focus, it can just keeps your focus, it can just keep you going, get you out of bed each morning. we all have struggles. you know, big or small. something small. we all need something that us along . that kind of boosts us along. >> and now listen, there was the
9:54 pm
court case, i think it was last year you sued the gp, who was looking after mother when looking after your mother when she conceived why did you she conceived you. why did you take this action? >> yes. so one of the first things that's probably relevant to say is there was a headline saying i should have never been born and that was actually a quote from the other side that they had said to kind of suggest it. what i would say now, i wasn't actually at the court case at all. i didn't need to be involved because obviously it had happened before i was born. and but the idea being that this and he did admit to this, it's available online to view the transcript. he admitted to giving advice he knew was against the guidelines . and against the guidelines. and essentially what we're aiming for is that all gp's be fully aware to give advice in line with the guideline . so othennise with the guideline. so othennise we'd probably just go on to facebook to ask for advice . and facebook to ask for advice. and there's a lot of doctors that work so hard to keep up to that standard and it's really important to implement that.
9:55 pm

with a bit of early detail on nadine dorries. tell all book about the tories and boris johnson. that's at 1030. the papers are coming. but first my take a. ten. well, we made quite a splash last night with our take at ten. it went more viral than a premier league footballer on a lads trip to ibiza. i called out marks and spencer for a deeply offensive christmas ad in which characters set fire to christmas cards shredded christmas cards shredded christmas party hats shoved a disgusting loo roll on top of a christmas tree, used a baseball bat to whack a little elf into the sky. and most offensively, they actually got rid of the word christmas at the end. take a listen . that's right, folks. a listen. that's right, folks. marks and spencer , who make marks and spencer, who make a disproportionate amount of their money during the festive season have cancelled the word christmas . make it make sense .
10:06 pm
christmas. make it make sense. it's worth noting that the part of the word that they removed is christ from christmas. make of that what you will, but i'd love to see other religious festivals have their name adulterate added in such a way. i won't hold my breath . yes, folks, the final breath. yes, folks, the final line in the advert and the slogan is love this mess , not slogan is love this mess, not that mess . and that's. that's that mess. and that's. that's progress, is it? well, the advert has proved to be as popular as an itchy pair of socks from your grandma or the renowned headteacher. catherine birbalsingh has said that this ad has made it much more difficult to teach children about christmas values by putting selfishness first. she said the store had put two fingers up to the message behind christmas in an open letter to marks and spencer, she expressed deep disappointment and outrage . deep disappointment and outrage. she wrote, you have a duty as a national department store to keep the spirit of christmas alive for the sake of our
10:07 pm
children . she goes on to say, children. she goes on to say, i run an inner city school in london where we try hard to instil values of decency daily instil values of decency daily in our children. when marks and spencer puts two fingers up to these values, it makes our lives as teachers much more difficult, and it stifles social mobility and it stifles social mobility and happiness for our children, in for particular, the disadvantaged . let's be honest , disadvantaged. let's be honest, and i hate to use the w word, but this ad is wokery at its finest, denigrating a national tradition, treating it as something naff an embarrassing, shameful, maybe something to be rubbished. talk about shredded, discarded, thrown away like old unwanted wrapping paper. but i'm pleased to say that other super markets have stepped up to the plate. look at this gorgeous offering from lidl with a charming story of a cheeky raccoon rescuing a soft toy for a small child, upset at having
10:08 pm
broken a christmas bauble. wonderful special effects, beautiful music , great acting. beautiful music, great acting. and look at that little creature. who wouldn't want to give him a little cuddle? not just the kid , not just the just the kid, not just the little soft toy or the dog, but the beaver himself. so, you know, that is what i call a christmas selling nation. hats off to the brilliant little there was great fun from sainsbury's as well with their advert shot in branch featuring advert shot in branch featuring a charming little girl who gets on the tannoy system to ask about father christmas. well, all the staff are panicking. they don't want to reveal any details . sales there. the food details. sales there. the food looks great out there driving through the snow and then rick astley pops superstar, presumably with a clear message. christmas. i'm never going to give you up . oh, mince pies , give you up. oh, mince pies, father christmas. lovely. baker what's not to like? oh there you go.see what's not to like? oh there you go. see the spirit of christmas. it's not that hard . and let me it's not that hard. and let me tell you that asda get the biggest kiss under the
10:09 pm
mistletoe. actually, no. first of all, can we have a look at this? i love this. this is morrisons and this is so good. it's the talking oven glove in all different settings and they're singing and they're chatting away . look at that. chatting away. look at that. isn't that just brilliant? oh, again, how do they do those special effects ? great animation special effects? great animation profiterole rolls out the freezer . but again, profiterole rolls out the freezer. but again, this is the kind of show that celebrates christmas. these are the ads that do that as well. but i think asda gets the top prize for this with legendary for this triumph with legendary crooner michael buble stepping into a new role as the asda chief quality officer as he goes from department to department sampling the cheese, nibbling on the pigs in blankets and sinking his teeth into christmas pudding whilst admiring some of the christmas fashions. kurt c of asda. so look , there you go. asda. so look, there you go. he's filled his boots there with some kind of delicious cake. he's got a glittery outfit for
10:10 pm

10:11 pm
watching that forever. well done. morrisons by the way. plenty of other supermarkets are brilliant, too. i mean, i'm sure that aldi will bring out a very good one. co—op londis . you good one. co—op londis. you know, there's plenty out there. there's plenty of options. and by the way, can i say one thing? i don't do? cancel culture? not on my watch. i'm not cancelling marks and spencer in fact, there's one across the road. i love it. love the staff and i will continue to go to marks and spencen will continue to go to marks and spencer. but i think this year they've dropped the christmas bauble. what do you think, mark at cbnnews.com . let's hear from at cbnnews.com. let's hear from my top pundits. comedian geila curci concert peer lord kulveer ranger and radio and television legend mike reid. mike, you're an expert on all matters. media you've been in it for decades. what's your appraisal of the marks and spencer's ad and the fallout? >> well, i think sainsbury's is interesting because rick pops up his current single is called never going to stop . but surely never going to stop. but surely they should have had never gone
10:12 pm
to shop anywhere but sainsbury's. it's true. you see, they missed a trick there. and kavya i would like to kavya and i would like to actually make a pitch next year for was asda, the raccoon . it for was asda, the raccoon. it was wasn't it. yeah. yeah that was wasn't it. yeah. yeah that was obviously conceived in an opium den somewhere after a while of night. who's brainchild was that. but we'd like to two pitch for the other one the michael buble. we felt that they missed out on a bottle of bubbly , which would have been very, very festive . that's good. marks very festive. that's good. marks and , i think, should and spencer, i think, should probably be excommunicated or maybe even something worse and banned from sunday school. certainly for missing the christ out of christmas and virtually desecrating it. i mean, more, more s&m than m&s, i think brilliant put. >> my goodness. there you go, mike reid demonstrating what a broadcasting legend he is. he couldn't have put it better . couldn't have put it better. covid marks and spencer's , as covid marks and spencer's, as mike has just mentioned there, they took the word christ out of christmas, a profound insult. >> but it's a bit bah humbug,
10:13 pm
isn't it? you're sort of, you know, we all know what christmas is about. we all have those nostalgic memories for it. we love the adverts. they're all there up those those there to churn up those those rose tinted spectacles about christmas. why ruin it by trying to take out the essence of christmas ? s? and as mike was christmas? s? and as mike was saying, we've been discussing this at length. it's been the number story us. number one story for us. and i think, you know, asda have really secured the number one spot the buble hit and spot with the buble hit and they've done it in all the others have that, bringing others have done that, bringing the bringing the bit the traditional bringing the bit of modern, a bit music , of the modern, a bit of music, that that'll get that sort of eannorm that'll get into your head and just giving you feeling that you you that warm feeling that you want those nights in and want as those nights come in and families together and families get together and whether you love it or loathe it, you know you're to it, you know you're going to have for a couple of have them around for a couple of hours a couple of and hours or a couple of days, and you're going want all that you're going to want all that food have those food and have that bring those memories again. >> listen what >> definitely listen to what it's so think m&s missed that is >> so i think m&s missed that is what about. what it's about. >> not just >> and sevilla, you're not just a brilliant but you've a brilliant comedian, but you've done theatre as well a brilliant comedian, but you've done think theatre as well a brilliant comedian, but you've done think that's atre as well a brilliant comedian, but you've done think that's whats well a brilliant comedian, but you've done think that's what those and i think that's what those other adverts from asda, from

a good many more behind the scenes , many linked to the scenes, many linked to the conservative democratic organisation, which is this kind of lord cruddas led grassroots organisation leading the fightback as it's going to be very interesting , actually. i very interesting, actually. i think my only criticism , nadine, think my only criticism, nadine, is that she's making it very much about boris. obviously for her own reasons for and he's a close friend, but you know, this is actually about the quality of democracy in our country and the control really , of one of the control really, of one of the two parties, which can be the governing party in a in a first past the post system. and it's deeply worrying. >> the tory mafia running the conservative party head straight to the express.co.uk and check out david maddox's brilliant rather exposing article on nadine dorries expose of tell all tome. >> david, we'll catch up soon. thank you very much for your time. can i get instant reaction from boris johnson's former top adviser, lord kulveer range jr tory party covered up for serial

10:38 pm
people pulling some puppetry strings. this was british politics dealing with major issues, national and international. so to try to say that there is a small cabal of people who make all this happen was your former boss and friend, bofis was your former boss and friend, boris johnson, the victim of a coup, though? >> because that's the central premise of this extraordinary book. >> i think there were challenges to boris. boris has been said many times as a unique politician , and people loved him politician, and people loved him for that. but i think equally people found that challenging. he wasn't a traditional politician. i think they found it difficult in the system as well as outside the system to deal with that. so there may have and i think there has been a gradual sort of take of boris, is well , he doesn't do is that well, he doesn't do things the traditional way. he doesn't play by the rules , but doesn't play by the rules, but that part of his, as you that was part of his, as you said , his success, his career in said, his success, his career in politics been hugely politics has been hugely successful. the adage all successful. the old adage all political careers end in failure. but to get there, he was hugely successful . was hugely successful. >> i come to my concealer in

10:41 pm
which is the problem. i mean . which is the problem. i mean. yeah i agree. i mean i agree with with covid about traditional values . i mean traditional values. i mean that's why people didn't like trump. he was not a traditional president . isn't boris was not a president. isn't boris was not a traditional pm. and with his book, i mean , how do you refute book, i mean, how do you refute serial rapist mp ? who was it? serial rapist mp? who was it? who were the mafia? whose covering up are people to going step out and say, oh, that was me. i was one of those. i don't think so. so you you can you can weave it into a into a novel letter in a way, can't you? i mean, again, i haven't read it so i don't know. but you can. and the next thing will come along that will override it. this book will come out. they want horror and then want to shock horror and then something come along something else will come along and and it'll be and it'll disappear and it'll be in bin. in the remainder bin. >> how about this one in the sunday sevilla sunday telegraph? sevilla labour considers tax for firms considers a robot tax for firms replacing staff with al. is there nothing labour won't tax ? there nothing labour won't tax? >> i don't know what to say to that other than that i don't

10:43 pm
because it is it's ai plus. but i can make anybody look good. you apply it to your thing and people go, oh, this guy is quite intelligent and that is a problem that the people that that write normally can can do it and the people that can't. can you say ai which which is a problem does it put everyone on the same level on the same platform and then can back platform and then can they back up saying in al up what they're saying in al verbally? said, verbally? if somebody said, okay, tell me what you've written. if they can't , then written. if they can't, then backit written. if they can't, then back it up verbally they have a problem . problem. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> are you worried about al and do you think it should be taxed like labour is suggesting? >> no, this this is basically talking about taxing profits, right? because when you bring in machines, things, machines, automate things, machines, automate things, machine and that's machine learning, and that's been over the last been happening over the last decade so, there potentially been happening over the last de more so, there potentially been happening over the last de more profit there potentially been happening over the last de more profit .here potentially been happening over the last de more profit . soe potentially been happening over the last de more profit . so how entially been happening over the last demore profit . so how are ally been happening over the last demore profit. so how are you is more profit. so how are you going to how are you going to tax that ? so interesting tax that? so it's an interesting headune tax that? so it's an interesting headline publishing companies for being efficient and investing future, aren't for being efficient and inveswell future, aren't for being efficient and inveswell that future, aren't for being efficient and inveswell that futlbe aren't for being efficient and inveswell that futlbe whatt you? well that may be what labour trying but but you? well that may be what lab(know, :rying but but you? well that may be what lab(know, that's but but you? well that may be what lab(know, that's the but but you? well that may be what lab(know, that's the signal)ut you know, that's the signal they'll be sending these businesses as well. think businesses as well. but i think the is for me a
