labour conservatives are urging labour to scrap local referenda on council tax hikes. under current rules, parliament can set a limit on council tax increases, which currently stands at just under 5. but the conservatives are saying that labour has not mentioned the matter in their manifesto , so suggesting that manifesto, so suggesting that labour might ditch the referenda and the rule attached to it if it gets to power . labour and the rule attached to it if it gets to power. labour has described the claims as hysterical and desperate . hysterical and desperate. meanwhile, a press association poll of polls today reflecting party ratings over the last seven days up to and including today, gives labour the lead with 41% of the vote, ahead of support for the tories on 21 and reform on 15. the prime minister, however , rishi sunak minister, however, rishi sunak said today he'll fight on and he intends to win. >> it's still two and a half weeks to go in this election. i'm fighting hard for every vote because i believe we can win and there's a very clear choice at this election. it's having your

taxes cut by the conservatives or facing significant tax rises with the labour party. now, we know now the manifestos are all out. everyone's cards are on the table with the conservatives. we will cut your taxes at every stage of your life. and in contrast with labour, the tax burden is going up to the highest we've seen in our country's history . country's history. >> rishi sunak. now the liberal democrats have pledged to spend £10 million a year tackling the practice of sewage dumping by water companies. under the party's plans, 100 new water quality inspectors will work as part of a new clean water authority , a regulator which authority, a regulator which will have the power to force entry to sites if water companies are slow in granting permission . the lib dem leader, permission. the lib dem leader, sir ed davey, attacked the conservatives handling of the sewage water crisis, calling it a national scandal. that's the news for the latest stories, sign up to gb news alerts. scan the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. carmela, it's time now for headliners .

now for headliners. >> hello and welcome to headuner >> hello and welcome to headliner tour. first look at tuesday's newspapers. i'm simon evans, joining me tonight we have the richard and hyacinth bucket of headliners that was an old combination. it's josh bucket of headliners that was an old combination. it'sjosh howie old combination. it's josh howie and chris had a weapon. i don't believe those people have ever seen that tv show. >> no , but our audience will >> no, but our audience will have. >> and i see you've got the dress. >> yeah, i've got the dress and the aspirations. >> yeah, yeah i haven't. >> yeah, yeah i haven't. >> you should find some new way of pronouncing cressida, if that's going to be your thing. >> or do get called cressida lot. >> yes, yes. »- >> yes, yes. >> very good. >> very good. >> i want to do a shout out to carmella. i met i met her headliners fan today. >> very excited. so i said i promised i'd shout a young woman. yes, she's the mother of a friend of mine. woman. yes, she's the mother of a friend of mine . okay. and a friend of mine. okay. and yeah, she's a very big fan. hello, carmella of a friend of yours is a young woman. >> this sounds great. >> this sounds great. >> i would say that i'd say that

we have a connection. carmella. i don't know if you felt it, but. okay where do you meet? i met at the school playground at the gates. school gates. okay. little carmella little. she was a little carmelita. so let's take a look at those front pages. >> daily mail, rishi care only wants votes at 16 to entrench his power. that is the metagame in play. >> telegraph tories turned to johnson to counter reform and the young prince. >> they're looking rather splendid in traditional garb. guardian farage accused of cut and spend manifesto that doesn't add up, the times don't risk a generation of socialism, warn the tories, and the i news farage. it's impossible to know if reform would keep low tax pledge . finally the metro have pledge. finally the metro have hero patients stopped bomber killing nurses. those were your front pages . so we kick off with

front pages. so we kick off with the in—depth look into tuesday's front pages with the guardian. josh? >> yeah . farage accused of cut >> yeah. farage accused of cut and spend manifesto that doesn't add up . well, first of all, it's add up. well, first of all, it's not a manifesto. it's a contract. it's a contract that, nigel farage says , is because nigel farage says, is because he's not going to get into power. so he's like, no. so it's a contract that he's written up, but no one has to sign it, and it never has to be delivered on in any way. >> invitation to treat. >> invitation to treat. >> yes, it's a possibility of the future. and really it's pushing the tories seemingly further to the right. that's the idea behind it, but also , more idea behind it, but also, more interesting than that, i would argue it's to how this affects laboun argue it's to how this affects labour, because, as nigel farage points out , labour, because, as nigel farage points out, immigration wasn't mentioned as one of the labour's six pledges. it wasn't part of that. this is very much front and centre here. will this force to labour start addressing this issue properly? >> so labour haven't said anything about their.

>> well they've said stuff about it, then they're going to cut it down. but it's not one of their six priorities okay. and i think that's a mistake for labour because i think for a lot of people it is a priority. that's not to say as extreme as some of the stuff that is in this, contract. it's not all mental, arguably it's priced. it's140. it's arguably it's priced. it's 140. it's going to arguably it's priced. it's140. it's going to cost 141 billion to implement it. but there are some interesting ideas here about, for example, increasing tax free allowance to £20,000. theideais tax free allowance to £20,000. the idea is that that's an incentive for people to then work, because there is that weird border where you kind of you're not working, but you're on benefits and whatever. >> if you push it up like that and there's a good, i think in there when there's an arrangement which allows a married couple to distribute their 25% of their. >> yeah. so there are some ideas here. >> it's a minor thing, but i do absolutely approve of this introduction of two year rather than three year degrees, whereby people can experience that little kind of air gap between , little kind of air gap between, education and working life. but, you know, there are plenty of

degrees now, which realistically, simon, does that mean you can't spend a whole yearin mean you can't spend a whole year in bed being drunk before you have to take seriously ? you have to take seriously? >> two years? no, but the first yearis >> two years? no, but the first year is meant to be a false start. isn't it? yeah, but that was the first social year. >> that was the first year in a degree course, which was a three year degree course. like law and medicine, the first year in bed, two years of studying. but there are some degrees now where, to be honest, you can have a year in bed and then a year of studying and you'll get it and that'll be fine. >> i just want to lose my virginity. yeah, that was all. >> we've already been through the school gates conversation. okay. >> hi, carmella. again. >> hi, carmella. again. >> let's have a look at the daily mail now. chris the daily mail, rishi keir only wants votes at 16 to entrench his power. >> well, that's kind of obvious, isn't it, so the prime minister said the labour leader's unprincipled bid to lower the voting age to 16 was designed to be electorally useful to him. well, of course it is. and he's talking about locking them in for generations, which, i mean, it's just a very obvious statement, isn't it? it's of course it's cynical. of course he wants more. 16 year old voters. there's also noises in

here about starmer getting people in the eu to be able to vote for the for the labour party. good luck with that. i mean, europe isn't i mean, there was an awful lot of things that went on under blair which were quite subtly reshaping the democrat , the, the electorate democrat, the, the electorate along the lines that they wanted. >> there's a chap on twitter called laura mcintyre who is an american commentator who has identified certain things that the biden administration have been doing as well, which but then the tories have arguably changed, changed some of their borders that supposedly they've got a slight advantage or they did the gerrymandering, the gerrymandering. >> yeah. so there is that. but i just want to say this is desperation here. he can't obviously say, this is what i'll do when i get into power, because he's been in power and he hasn't done it. so really he's come up with these two attacks, one of them is ridiculous. this idea of eu nationals voting in election. but the other one is it's amazing when you sort of when you're working in this industry on the periphery like we are where you see these stories, sort of how they come out of nowhere . this was someone, a nowhere. this was someone, a journalist asking, would you do

it? and he said we'd look into it, and now it's become like the big labour policy, supposedly and all. it really came was from one question. and this has now become the centrality, supposedly of labour's policy. it's not true . so you don't it's not true. so you don't think it's like i just think he said no, i don't of course he hasn't said it's like their big part of their policy. it wasn't you know what i'm saying. so this is just how this stuff goes. >> but i've heard lots of soundees >> but i've heard lots of soundbites of starmer saying, well if people pay tax then they should be allowed to have this vote. >> i've heard that justifying it after the fact. his point was it wasn't going his way any he hasn't been any great pains to quell. yeah. and i but i think it's a terrible policy by the way. i don't think it should happen at all. and also there's no guarantee that 16 year olds are going to vote for labour anyway. they're probably going to vote for greens nowadays. >> well, that's a very good point. >> also. yeah, they probably also just simply won't vote. and the telegraph, josh, tories turn to johnson to counter reform. >> so this is yeah boris johnson. he's supposedly he's been away quite a lot but they're asking like is he's essentially he says here he's

signed tens of thousands of letters signed by boris johnson and delivered to voters across the country. they're not personally signed. they've just printed with this little signature at the bottom. this is what they're resorting to? well, it's the daily. yeah. what is the, what is the, thinking there that they need a sort of populist, charismatic entertainer? exactly. but the question is, he's not making any personal appearances . question is, he's not making any personal appearances. he's going to be away till, i think, the day before the election anyway. yeah, and. and how he's standing again. >> he is standing for election again. johnson because that's quite surprising in itself. >> yes. yeah. but but is he just automatically go. we can't let's not say but no but yeah. but also the question is how much does sunak really want his help and how much bad blood exists between them . and i think sunak between them. and i think sunak is like and also i think johnson is like and also i think johnson is rightly so, probably doesn't want to go down with a sinking ship or to be perceived to be part of a losing election. that johnson might join reform. >> that would be something, wouldn't it? would be hard talk. >> you heard it here first. no you didn't. >> finally ending this section on the daily star.

>> cressida, vote binface . so >> cressida, vote binface. so there you go, most sane politician in uk unveils tiktok manifesto, we don't have that yet. but what we do know is that it's a 24 point plan to save britain, and we at the daily star believe it to be the most sane and honest manifesto out there was. it's not a contract, it's just a traditional manifesto. >> has he named any particular policies binface? >> well, he may have done, but i've only got that sentence. >> this one's really good. water chiefs to swim in uk rivers. that's a genius policy. in fact, all politicians should be. well, it's the idea behind sort of kids . you know, the education kids. you know, the education sector is sending their kids to a state school or whatever it is. >> john selwyn gummer forcing his children to eat, cjd burgers. yeah, exactly. >> all of that stuff. but yeah, water chiefs should swim in uk rivers. >> absolutely. that's a great idea. and all mps children should be stay educated and go to the nhs . absolutely. yeah. to the nhs. absolutely. yeah. maybe the old people be allowed to get some private and croissant prices capped at £1.10. >> do you remember the monster raving loony party who for many years this was it. >> that's it. it was the. yeah

the previous incarnation. they famously had a number of policies which did become law which which were initially introduced. they were the first people to save votes for 18 year olds, for instance. and god, i can't remember what the other one was. it was probably legalised homosexuals or something like that. there was something like that. there was something in the 60s that was considered to be like wacko, you know, and actually did become they'll never do it . yeah. it they'll never do it. yeah. it was supposed to be satire. well, there we have it. those were your front pages. next up, we have the viscera , student voting have the viscera, student voting patterns. we have eastenders. codding. he's long enough to see himself become a villain, and

and welcome back to headliners with me, simon evans. we still have josh howie. and chris had a wet in here. or cursed or. however we're going to style you now. now that you're a hyacinth bouquet, more bad news for the tories in the daily mail. students return home to tactically vote, if indeed they can be bothered to get up in time. >> that's right. students returning home from university for the summer holidays could cost the tories up to 35 seats, after rishi sunak called the 1st july general election since 1945. rishi, how could he not have known ? if you call it in have known? if you call it in the summer holidays, all the students have gone home, possibly , and they might vote possibly, and they might vote for the other side. of course, as you said earlier, they also might vote for the greens. so this isn't a done deal, is it? >> is it definite they can only vote in their home constituency, not in their university. >> it's just more likely that that's where they're registered .

that's where they're registered. yeah.i that's where they're registered. yeah. i mean it's also possible that they won't be back 4th of july. that's quite early in the summer. >> summer. >> no, they're all back in the next week or so. my daughter, who's in her first year at university, i learned as it happened, did not have a third term. >> they didn't go back after easter. >> oh, really? >> oh, really? >> so london university, king's college university, king's college university, king's college london university, they had exams and they had some sort of revision periods and access to tutors, but there was no scheduled education at all after april. >> i think it's just the way it works out with which courses you're doing, but i remember that happening to me. i had a term where i said, okay, you know, that was in the days where we didn't have to pay for it. so i was perfectly, perfectly happy. exactly. >> it's fine. of course. you know, as long as my parents are paying know, as long as my parents are paying for it, what do you think? is it going to make any difference? probably not. is it? i mean, these things are incremental. >> it might be, but i mean, to lose 35 seats when they're already in trouble. yeah we're up to 35 seats. yeah, it's another kind of blunder that we've seen. and now the unintended consequence . well, is unintended consequence. well, is it unintended? >> it's almost looking like rishi. >> it looks like that doesn't it. it's like he's read a book.

yeah i mean i can't believe i didn't know this. i've never thought of it, but i'm sure somebody somewhere did . somebody somebody somewhere did. somebody that knows about elections, i wouldn't i wouldn't be surprised if they did . if they did. >> yeah. it's like that scene in butch cassidy and the sundance kid , you know? are you kidding? kid, you know? are you kidding? the fool's going to kill you. yeah, it there's nothing left to fight for. josh. the times now one for tv soap viewers of a certain age. colin russell off of eastenders is in the hottest water since the first televised pre—watershed gay kiss in 1987. >> wow. taking people back, late appear loses whip after calling rosie duffield frith or lazy. so this is lord cashman. and basically, yeah, rosie duffy, she. duffield. sorry. rosie duffield , she duffy is my wife's duffield, she duffy is my wife's maiden name , and i just i feel maiden name, and i just i feel such affinity for rosie duffield. >> stella duffy . >> stella duffy. >> stella duffy. >> yeah. and stella duffy is my save. so did you know that i didn't know. there she is. that's my next wife. so little shout out there, but, yes, rosie

duffield, who is a sort of hero fighting for women's rights over the last years . and it's, it's the last years. and it's, it's cost her arguably. abuse, well, arguably she has been abused , arguably she has been abused, including by members of the labour party, even mps , and she labour party, even mps, and she is not able to go to a hustings or pulled out of a hustings through, safety fears and then lord cashman stepped in and was i and accused her of being lazy and as opposed to or frit, which is a slang word for afraid, right? >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> i mean, he has since deleted the tweet and apologised, but still. but it's not the point. it shows you something about the labour party, doesn't it? and that kemi badenoch comments made me laugh because on the one hand, you could say she's kind of gleefully enjoying this , but of gleefully enjoying this, but she's also got a point. she says this is now about more than women's rights, but about how the party manages internal disagreement. if this is what they do to their own, imagine what they do, what they'll do to our country, which is sort of cheap point scoring. but also it's a good point because if labour come in, what are they going to do about women's spaces, etcetera, etcetera, essentially. >> i mean, famously, keir

starmer , we're going to talk starmer, we're going to talk about the whole women. what definition of women and a bit. but he hasn't been he hasn't kind of spoken to rosie duffield. he hasn't addressed any of this directly or addressed her. >> she has been repeatedly let down by the labour party. it's one thing to endure , a certain one thing to endure, a certain amount of abuse. if you go to certain rallies, there's a contingent on both sides. that's one thing. but as you say, it's like she was really hung out to dry on a number of occasions. >> and she was proved right. yeah she was all of these column in the sun several years ago or something. she's one of the first. and it's left wing women who have taken the point on this, and they are the ones who received a huge amount of abuse . received a huge amount of abuse. and this should be corrected. and this should be corrected. and so lord cashman, coming in, he's one of the founders of stonewall. but there's a big division or not a big division, but there is a division within the lgbt community who don't want to be part of that. and simon fanshawe, who was who's been on this show, he also was one of the creators of stonewall, and he has argued for women's rights. so anyway , women's rights. so anyway, still, colin was treated very badly on on eastenders around

the rumour that he had aids. >> oh really? yeah. it was a terrible incident. yeah i remember it very clear. do you remember it very clear. do you remember that? >> i don't remember that . >> i don't remember that. >> i don't remember that. >> yeah, no, i was cotton learned that he was in a relationship with a younger man. well, anyway, these were the heady days, you can see why he craves a bit of controversy. you know , it used to be so much more know, it used to be so much more exciting to be gay. the guardian now, and accusations of illegal activity in greek waters as authorities attempt to steer the nafion authorities attempt to steer the nation between the scylla and charybdis of our time. >> greek coast guard's treatment of migrants clearly illegal, says ex—officer. so there's not a lot of alleged about this because the bbc have got a video, they've recorded themselves, they've recorded an interview with this guy who was the greek coastguard, and they're showing him a video , and they're showing him a video, and it's a bit like when boris johnson watched that video of himself where somebody was asking him, what do you think about this? then when he'd done something not very tasty years

ago, it's the same kind of thing. it's a gotcha moment. i don't know whether they really need that, because if they've already got the footage showing these migrants being put back in these migrants being put back in the water and not helped put back in the water or like kicked, thrown what they are just like dunked . i haven't seen just like dunked. i haven't seen that part of the footage, but but what's being described here is people being put back on rubber boats, sometimes in very bad order, and being sort of pushed out of greek water back to other seas and in most cases, well, in this case, the turkish authorities, i believe, came in and saved them. but you see, the point. it's not it's illegal. you can't just push people back and go, oh, it's not our problem , why they need this man? i don't know, it just i feel like it makes good television, doesn't it? because the guy. he said it off camera . he did say said it off camera. he did say it off camera in greek. they've obviously translated it. >> this is. and it was. it's terrible. they were led down women and children. but it's really the footage, isn't it? >> not so much. >> not so much. >> the guy let off a pier, led onto a thing, and then just left onto a thing, and then just left on a raft to be saved elsewhere. now to be fair, the greek authorities have saved 250,000 people over since 2015.

>> and also, i'm not entirely sure on this. i think i've read these figures about italy, but i would imagine it's the same with greece. it is primarily a transit, isn't it? they're not. they haven't had anything like the elevation that britain has had in actual asylum. si king. yeah, these people make their way through greece, cross up into into europe and keep going north. i think i may be wrong, i don't know, but but, but but there is a thing there does not that it justifies it either way. but yeah, this sounds like it's a, something that would happen when the authorities at the end of their tether and they, you know, certain people are beginning to. well, the numbers would reflect that because they're talking about 43 deaths compared to 250 something thousand saved. >> yeah , but this i think it's >> yeah, but this i think it's really interesting because reform, we're talking about solving the boats crisis here in 100 days. that kind of trump language, 100 days. we'll get it done. and this shows you . well, done. and this shows you. well, actually, what do you actually do? you know, on the ground they're saying that they'll take they're saying that they'll take the boats back to france. >> and that's just not realistic to say that you're going to do

that. >> i hate to say it, but when somebody said you put gunshots off the coast of libya, that's what you do. you stop it at the source. you know, that would have saved hundreds if not thousands of lives by now. anyway. daily mail josh in the circumstances, one can't help wondering if this isn't a cry for help . yeah, yeah. for help. yeah, yeah. >> so yeah. rishi sunak reveals , >> so yeah. rishi sunak reveals, he would back assisted suicide legislation as long as vulnerable people are protected. this is on the back of, dame esther rantzen, who has stage four lung cancer, who is pushing this campaign. it has been adopted in certain countries, and the problem with it is, i mean, there are moral issues with it, but the problem is about the to make sure that they have the, the right sort of protections for because i believe we did a story a couple of months ago about a young woman who's depressed. yeah described death as a treatment for depression. >> canada . >> canada. >> canada. >> and in the netherlands. netherlands. >> yeah. and this that kind of stuff is under now there are people who are older who have

who are going to die and, and arguably this would be a more, it feels to me like that wouldn't be like a totally new thing. >> i mean, this is the thing of course, nowadays we, you know, they're tightening up legislation has to be watertight. there used to be, i'm sure , a tradition of i'm sure, a tradition of prescribing a certain amount of palliative care that would probably ease somebody into, well , maybe at the very probably ease somebody into, well, maybe at the very end, but it's still on law that people get 14 years in jail if they aid with assisted. >> yeah, dying, and as someone points out, there's a few organisations who are talked about here, but one chief executive of care not killing says that they when these things are introduced, there's a lot of talk of safeguards , but once talk of safeguards, but once they're introduced, suddenly those safeguards tend to go out the window. and what we have seen that in the netherlands, someone's mother, was basically prescribed death. and who had turns out she had some mental health issues. and there were also people disabled people, pressure on people with chronic conditions and whatnot, mental health conditions . so it's a

health conditions. so it's a very slippery slope when you open that door. absolutely >> and i mean, i completely agree with you. rishi would dream of a quick, dignified exit at the moment, and i don't think he's thinking about the detail of this stuff. i think it's just a vote winner, isn't it? esther rantzen's made it very . it's in rantzen's made it very. it's in our minds, and it sounds like the compassionate thing to do is tessa jowell face of. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> yeah. but as josh says, i mean , it's i really think it is mean, it's i really think it is a slippery slope also. >> but we live in a democracy. both of the leaders are now saying that they're open to this idea. get into the into the house of parliament, have a debate about it. yeah, i mean, it seems to me like the obvious thing to do is to say that it's within the right of the patient to say, i want only painkillers now. how. >> now. >> i just want, you know, morphine or whatever. i don't want any more of the medicine thatis want any more of the medicine that is sustaining this condition that i don't, i don't know, surely the problem is always that you don't know if thatis always that you don't know if that is really what they want. >> i don't know how you measure that. yeah, yeah , well, you that. yeah, yeah, well, you write out a very clear manifesto in your 50s, and you put it in a time capsule .

time capsule. >> we are halfway through coming up, french footballers come out for macron, tony wades in. and the demise of the summertime blues. we'll

and welcome back to headliners so, chris, we have the times now on.the so, chris, we have the times now on. the third wealthiest footballer in the world has pitched in to warn french voters not to drift out to the right wing. kylian mbappe.

>> i didn't even know who he was until today. i am so not into football, kylian mbappe urges french to vote against extreme rally. so he's he's doing a he's the gary lineker. he's the i watched his video today and he's talking with fantastic confidence about politics. he's very sure of himself. the superstar footballers words represented a rare positive note right. so macron it's not looking good for him. no. >> and gamble and it's not paying >> and gamble and it's not paying off. right. >> so that's that's the difference. so this guy is saying vote for macron. don't you know right wing bad and all that stuff. but he's not saying it in the same environment as gary lineker. he's saying it in a country where that's not looking likely. yeah. so to his credit, i suppose you could say that's a bit braver. >> he is part of a huge cohort of athletes and other celebrities, but especially athletes who have come out for macron . it's quite interesting. macron. it's quite interesting. i don't i can't remember this happening in france for some time . i think they're really time. i think they're really rattled. >> well, i'm sure they are rattled. but then this is always what happens because they have essentially like the first

round, second round. so everybody gets scared in the first round. is that the case? >> no, this is parliamentary elections i still think. >> yeah. so they and then they'll have the presidential. no it's not. yeah. so they'll have that. so they'll have that. the first round will scare everybody okay. and then the centrists and the leftists will join because when you add them up they beat this. the rally i got to say the name of the group rally. if you're trying to rally something , i don't think if something, i don't think if you're trying to not evoke far right. >> yeah, they changed it from national front as well. yeah. to rally. >> yes . >> yes. >> yes. >> i guess that's not good. that's it's, go with something a little bit more nasty euphemism or whatever. yeah. >> the french football federation, though, are kind of a bit embarrassed by this and are distancing themselves and saying, no, we're we are neutral. yeah >> well it is important, isn't it, if they want to carry on attracting fans that they're not too. although mbappe himself i think is at real madrid now i think. but it's yeah i mean if that's going to be like the well it's a bit like brexit though wasn't it. a lot of sports , it wasn't it. a lot of sports, it just didn't care. >> but it's interesting to see it in like a when they're being

interviewed at a pre—match situation , when the whole situation, when the whole country is watching it. that's a very powerful time to make this kind of statement. yeah, so yeah, well , we will see. yeah, well, we will see. >> it's very exciting times . >> it's very exciting times. extraordinary that rump eu has has veered so hard to the right onceit has veered so hard to the right once it got shot of us london shootings crisis. now josh and the daily mail have alarming evidence which is more than the met police are able to gather by the sound of it. yeah this is ridiculous. >> so okay, nearly half of all london shootings go unsolved due to witnesses being afraid to share evidence with met police figures show. the good news is. and is that this this crime is on the on the downward slope. the number of murders and the, and the number of actual shooting incidents, and they call it. they've got a great euphemism for it, which is, what do they call it again? they call it lethal barrelled discharge. lethal barrel discharge? yeah which is i've had a few of those lethal barrel discharge shootings. that's what they called. they're called lethal

barrel discharge . barrel discharge. >> so does it have to end in immortality to have that deed ? immortality to have that deed? >> well, no it doesn't. it just has to be a shooting anywhere. anyway, detectives believe this is partly due to fear preventing witnesses. but i think it's because they, transferred mcnulty over to the river police. little rock . no idea why police. little rock. no idea why a reference there. >> i think you need to do line of duty . okay. of duty. okay. >> to keep people. so, but but the real thing is. is. yeah. is that half of shootings in london are believed to be linked to gang crime. so the interesting thing is here is they're saying people aren't coming forward and or giving, providing witnesses because they want to go off and get revenge. yeah. so that's not. >> yeah, exactly. the idea that i love the idea that happened to colin in eastenders as well . colin in eastenders as well. >> he was on a jury and he found and he refused to give a not guilty verdict in a, in a gangland crime in his house was. >> i don't know how you read all these books when you're watching eastenders life imitating. >> back in the day, reading wikipedia boned up on him. okay i wouldn't have had all this at

my fingertips. >> do you think the police really think it's anything to do with trust, no. that was a freudian slip . we trust to do freudian slip. we trust to do with confidence. i mean , it's with confidence. i mean, it's just what josh said, isn't it? and the idea that the police are saying, oh, you know, people don't feel safe. i mean, that's it's very it's a bit of victim blaming. >> he going. >> he going. >> yeah, definitely. definitely. it's an argument for stop and search isn't it. which again that's cropped up in reforms contract today. yes. because if people were searched feathers. >> but yeah kelly it's interesting they're saying firearm killings have gone from like 12 down to ten and then eight. so and there's been i mean lethal barrel lethal barrel which leads to the deaths of people, which is good. so it does seem to be going down. but when you look at these figures and we're when it's such small figures like this, even though of course each one is a tragedy, actually you can't really it doesn't work like that with those. no. because then suddenly there'll be 20. that's how it works. and that's. >> yeah, we continue with justice news now cressida in the telegraph turning and turning in a widening gyre. or is it gyre? i think it's gyre. the ex—con cannot hear. lord faulkner

have. >> no, i'm afraid i don't know. >> no, i'm afraid i don't know. >> in two and a half years that is the most obtuse link i have heard. oh, i don't know. >> i could go back and find. >> i could go back and find. >> what does it mean? >> what does it mean? >> does he talking about. >> does he talking about. >> he's talking about the telegraph article, scrap jail terms of less than a year. says former labour justice secretary. so this is lord faulkner, who has previously, he's already previously talked about reducing prison sentences. he oversaw an early release scheme in two thousand and seven. so this is his thing talking about early release . and he's now there's release. and he's now there's this report. this is by the centre for justice innovation mansion that innovating justice, and they're suggesting that you rather than serve 50% of the sentence, you serve 40% unless you're a really bad wrong and you've done a sexual assault or violent or terrorist crime . but violent or terrorist crime. but so, you know, your average shoplifter, i guess, drug deaung shoplifter, i guess, drug dealing things like that, because the prisons are full and they're even saying they think that prisons might get to capacity before the 4th of july. so things are pretty bad. >> i just want to know what a

guy is turning and turning in a widening gyre. >> the falcon cannot hear the falconer. things fall apart. the centre cannot hold. mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. wow >> okay. i mean, that's poetry. the second case i've heard of having peter hitchens every. >> it's the most quoted poem in the language. and it's since trump was elected. okay. anyway so. but, i wonder whether we shouldn't revert to some slightly more old fashioned punishments. you know what? >> stocks hanging in stocks. >> stocks hanging in stocks. >> or if they're thieves, you know, not actually amputating their hands, but maybe just smashing them with a bat, you know, what about wearing them for six months? >> what about wearing, like, a big glove ? like a boxing? big glove? like a boxing? >> they can feed themselves and live at home. >> but what about wearing, like, a big boxing glove? they can't take off. >> yeah, that's that's really good. hello? >> someone's up for election. yeah. >> that's pretty. >> that's pretty. >> but chastity belts as well or something like that. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> very good, very good. >> very good, very good. >> you're not. i've been told that i'm not going to get anywhere with actual castrations. that apparently is okay. >> this is what this is what this is what you'd be going for.

>> but this is serious. this is what incentive is there for people to commit, not commit crimes. >> not even boxing gloves. they could be like those big sponge hands that you take to football grounds. yes. >> and say, i committed a crime. yeah i robert hur and saying your crime on the actual letter. >> perfect . staying with the >> perfect. staying with the telegraph, josh and tony blair has waded in, which can only mean one subject matter. >> yeah , yeah. tony blair. >> yeah, yeah. tony blair. blair, a woman has a vagina and a man has a penis. well, speak for yourself, tony, and this is, tony blair bravely wandering into the, trans debate of many years after after everybody else . by the way, guys. yeah, look at me. how brave i am. and this sort of is frustrating because there are people now going. it's obvious , isn't it? yeah. it's obvious, isn't it? yeah. it's like, well, it's been obvious to anybody sensible for years, but there are many people who have lost their jobs, predominantly left wing women and lesbians , left wing women and lesbians, who put themselves out on that line years ago and were demonised and vilified and called bigots and threatened and

death threats. and jk rowling and all of this. and now tony blair goes, well, it's obvious. well it's obvious now because people have done the heavy lifting to step in after the fact and just kind of go the common sense . right? yeah. it's common sense. right? yeah. it's frustrating. i mean, look, he's right. of course . a woman has a right. of course. a woman has a vagina, a man has a penis. the interesting thing, and we talked about this story earlier is i hadnt about this story earlier is i hadn't realised obviously there's the famously , keir there's the famously, keir starmer was like 99.9. he has since come out and said, look, a woman is an adult female . so he woman is an adult female. so he has he has changed his tune somewhat. he's also talked about how they need to they wouldn't go down the self—id policy route. so reason has got through this. the campaign of these women mostly have worked, and graham linehan and andrew doyle, but, it's just it's very frustrating when people sort of start talking about common sense after not having really contributed . yeah. contributed. yeah. >> well it's classic politician isn't it. >> well it's classic politician isntit.the >> well it's classic politician isn't it. the sun comes out and they go, i did that. well you know, or i knew. he says, oh,

it's just weird. he concludes that it's weird that there was such a polarised debate. yeah, pretty weird, i think. >> and if people had stepped up, then it wouldn't have been. i mean, he would have been in a very good position. >> absolutely. because he wasn't up for election. he was home and dry. he was essentially like a tenured professor who could speak the truth. yeah, yeah. >> and i think he might have even had some sway. >> yeah. but then equally, i think cameron and ken clarke and lots of people have that kind of vintage have been disappointing on this issue. yes. you know, a lot of people you might have thought, well, come on, you're not going to, you know, it's not like you're going to lose anything. >> no. because they well , what >> no. because they well, what they would lose is the ability to say that they were a moral, that they thought, be kind, let's what's the what's the issue here? well, it turns out guess what? there is a conflict of rights here. so let's read some stuff about it and look into it a bit more. you are seeing children being medicalized. this has real world ramifications for women's safety, for medical language, for we've seen autistic children, gay children basically converted and sent down this medicalisation path. and it's all because of the cowardice of politicians, to actually just

take a stand and, and also the laziness to just read some articles , sorry, chris, you articles, sorry, chris, you don't worrying news now. and this is money for parents about to be hit by 20% vat on school fees, minimum wage rise leads to decline in summerjobs. decline in summer jobs. >> decline in summerjobs. >> yes . terrible. exactly. they >> yes. terrible. exactly. they need it. they need the money, a leading trade body has warned that the new national minimum wage is leading to falling to fewer vacancies for some of it. and it's quite a dramatic fall, because when i first read that, you think, oh, yeah, maybe a bit less , but it's they're really less, but it's they're really down a lot. so forjobs posting for chefs and leisure and theme park attendants down around a third, which is i mean, that's significant, isn't it? whether you can prove that's the reason, i don't know, because we've also we know that those industries suffered under covid and all the rest of it. so but only last summer and certainly the summer before, i remember and i knew some people specifically saying that hospitality, you know , was that hospitality, you know, was struggling to find people to, you know, it was desperate. >> and so that would force the wages up a little bit as well,

because they just couldn't get them because they'd all gone home during furlough, they'd gone back overseas or whatever. so there were restaurants, there were bars. brighton, of course, has a huge hospitality sector and that virtually every restaurant and bar would have a noficein restaurant and bar would have a notice in the window looking for staff, and they couldn't get them. and now they're saying, i don't know. >> well, this is it. i mean, as cresta says here, the article is saying minimum wage is because of, leads to . but actually, as of, leads to. but actually, as it says in the article, it's actually political uncertainty , actually political uncertainty, the uk economy flatlining. we've had terrible weather and the increase in wages and lazy teenagers and well, look, we've but we've got like so 16, 17 year olds get a 21% pay increase to £6, 40 an hour. i mean, we're not talking about breaking the bank. >> i do know, i mean, obviously some jobs are much worse than others or better than others. there are some jobs in hospitality where you can earn a decent work. if you get tips, you know there is an extraordinary range. >> i used to be a barman and like in a high end place and there was crazy tips. >> yeah, yeah. but on the other hand, there are some really miserable jobs out there as well. when i was a stripper, that was mostly for your clients, i never got any tips

for that. this is this is the school gate chat. we are on the home straight now. coming up in our race for the tape. we have seinfeld deftly deflecting a heckler and richard coles on the sordid reality of life as a gay vicar.

and welcome back to headliners am i, am i on? i cannot see myself on the screen. >> oh, oh, hello . >> oh, oh, hello. >> oh, oh, hello. >> god, i got dressed quickly. >> god, i got dressed quickly. >> bit sticky there. so daily mail now. josh don't know about you, but i love it when a billionaire comedian is celebrated for being remotely able to cope with a double digit iq heckler. >> i know it's ridiculous. there's a similar story. >> oh my god, he did that in real time . it's incredible. real time. it's incredible. >> who was it? alan partridge, steve coogan, there's a documentary following him on tour a couple of years ago, and he was like, did you see when i got heckled? and then i called

him a whatever, and he was like, wasn't that brilliant advice? and he was like, that's any night of the week. anyway >> pair of comedians conversation ever. i couldn't done that. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> jerry seinfeld blasts anti —israel >> jerry seinfeld blasts anti—israel heckler during sydney's stand up gig. we have a genius, ladies and gentlemen. so it is a good clip. but the idea he's been heckled before on this subject. seinfeld is a you know, he works hard. he's he's a professional and he's very funny. so he obviously sat down and went, what will i do next time i get heckled? and he had some funny lines talking about how they'd cured the middle east and how he so he was heckled about israel, about israel. yeah. >> and i don't think just like free palestine . free palestine. >> so they're paying i imagine it was i went to see him in london and it was a fair whack of money. yeah. so they're paying of money. yeah. so they're paying 100 odd quid to go and see him and then to shout out some heckles, try and ruin it for thousands of other people. also shouting at a jewish bloke, not an israeli bloke just shouting at a jew from the river to sea is arguably anti—semitic. >> just to be clear, i don't think he was doing any material on that subject. he was just being jewish. >> yeah, just being a jew,

basically. and that's enough. nowadays and so. and he did. yeah. he had some funny comebacks as this guy was being kicked out. but one of the nice things was, our old friend jim jefferies gets a name check. he says , oh, like, oh, well, now says, oh, like, oh, well, now you've solved it. this is how we're going to solve all issues. we're going to travel around the other side of the world and start ruining the gigs. so now i'm going to go and ruin jim jefferies gig, and that's going to solve the aborigine crisis. and you sort of think, well, i know, jim, that's weird. >> and jim jefferies got his start by being attacked on stage, didn't he? they did at the manchester comedy store. that's right. i've seen that clip. i've tried to i tried to emulate it. >> i'll do it. i'll do it with you. >> let's do it right now. >> let's do it right now. >> every time anyone sees a clip of me getting heckled, they go, yeah, he asked for that. he deserved that. yeah. >> that's because you do your poetry material. you do ? poetry material. you do? >> cressida, former communard richard coles on the shocking reality of his relationship with his actual husband, former rev richard coles richard coles even reveals it's often oh god, let's start again. >> former reverend richard coles

reveals it's offended rather a lot of people when he admitted he wasn't celibate with his late husband david. what so he was married to this man. but in the eyes of the church, he's gay. they were celibate but married. and it turns out they did some stuff. they were in a loving marriage and they acted on it, so. and he says it was not something his husband dead now? >> yes. yeah yeah. >> yes. yeah yeah. >> sadly passed. and he's now dating an actor. so good luck with that. >> i've never heard of this guy. i've got to be honest, i don't know who he is. are you serious? i really don't know who he is. but she goes. i don't know who he is. >> he's a national treasure. >> he's a national treasure. >> i'm sorry. >> i'm sorry. >> he's been on strictly come dancing. >> i apologise for my i have massive gaps in my knowledge, i'll be honest. >> oh, really? >> oh, really? >> well, i don't know about. yeah, i know about seinfeld, but i don't know about richard coles. what this is. this shows where i'm at. richard coles is a he's been a radio four presenter. >> he's written a couple of sort of like richard osmond type books, murder mysteries , saint books, murder mysteries, saint churches and things. but he is he's a very likeable chap, but he's a very likeable chap, but he's quit the church now and he's quit the church now and he's saying he's a very middle england. and i think he had a

lot of like, you know, very sweet old ladies who weren't quite well. he said the best thing that i've ever heard here, which is he said , he said i which is he said, he said i thought it was better to lie than to deny myself and david the opportunity of an intimate relationship with another person, because that would be cruel, i.e. by denying them having sex with him. >> that's cruel. i mean, could you imagine cheating on someone and saying, i just didn't want to be cruel to them. i didn't want to hurt their feelings. >> right? that so many times as well. josh, four years on the express are beginning to find 1 or 2 winners from the pandemic now as well . now as well. >> yeah, for forgotten uk language making surprise comeback due to once in a generation event. and it's cornish is making a comeback which is only recognised as a language, 20 odd years ago. okay. sorry. no. yeah. no, 20 years ago. but supposedly it's now, making a comeback , and i've now, making a comeback, and i've looked up some words. they didn't have any of the words in the article, which i thought was a bit lame, but they have, hello? is dida and please, ma plague and, and that's that. yeah. there you go. >> and you can do a course . you
