>> yeah. who knew? >> just like 20, 22 all over again. >> just like the good old days. >> just like the good old days. >> somehow still not sacked. incredible. >> yeah, i'm sure it's only a matter of weeks, nick. anyway, let's have a look at saturday's front pages. the telegraph leads with england . manager says with england. manager says i won't sing our anthem . how about won't sing our anthem. how about get another job, then? the daily mail has none of our attack. submarines are at sea. the ai has game changer weight loss pills on weigh in. major boost to nhs. the times has rich ready to nhs. the times has rich ready to quit uk over budget tax threat. the daily. the daily mirror leads with i warned bosses someone would die. i think that's top gear. and finally the daily star has ewok, gandalf and those were your front pages . and let's have a front pages. and let's have a closer look at those front pages, starting with the telegraph. josh? yeah. >> england manager i won't sing our anthem, but it's a bit weird if he'd said like, i won't sing

the, you know, british national anthem or whatever it is, the engush anthem or whatever it is, the english national anthem. yeah, the english national english. yeah. i'd go. all right if you. but he was born in birmingham. he grew up in ireland. he's played for republic of ireland. so i can sort of understand because there's an ancestral link that lets you play. >> i think if your grandparents or parents came from a country, you can play for that country. >> so he did. but but the fact is i won't. i don't know if that's a direct quote. i won't sing our anthem. like if it's like then i think if it's his anthem as well, then he should say his excuse is that he needs to focus. and i think, no, i think he should be distracted and we should lose. and he should sing the national anthem. that's more important. >> but also, i mean, nick, you're a football man and the singing the anthem doesn't exactly draw a lot of focus from the from the game. i'm sure you could set aside a minute to sing the national anthem, because we only sing the first bit. >> i mean, it's not like we're making him sing, confound their politics, frustrate their neighbours tricks which we should, by the way, all the verses should be genuine lyrics. those are genuine lyrics from the extended version. >> yes, it's so relevant. in

2020. >> i know, bring it back. >> i know, bring it back. >> i know, bring it back. >> i think if you sing it right, you should be distracted. like you should be distracted. like you should be utterly focused on the national anthem. like when you say sing god save our king like you should mean it with the totality of your being. >> well, rooney didn't used to sing it at first. gary neville didn't sing it. he tried the same thing about focus, but it doesn't really wash. if you are the england manager, i know there's this conflict. he played for ireland. i do understand that. but you've got to sing the national anthem if you're the england manager. this is not controversial. >> it's like what are the words like blah blah blah. and then you come in at the end like, oh, this is the bit i know. >> yeah. just mouth along like john redwood did. >> do you actually know the engush >> do you actually know the english national anthem? jon rahm blah blah. >> god save our glorious king. are you saying some sort of two jul? some some dual loyalty ? jul? some some dual loyalty? >> no no no no no two state solution. >> i was thinking, should i say that? >> i think he kind of do that. >> i think he kind of do that. >> i think he kind of do that. >> i do get very i do get very emotional when i say i've sung the, the israeli national. it's beautiful. >> oh they've got one. what's their football team >> oh they've got one. what's theirfootball team like >> oh they've got one. what's their football team like though. you don't hear about them much.

>> well no don't don't, don't don't push it too far. >> moving on nick, we've got something different in the times. >> yes . rich ready to times. >> yes. rich ready to quit uk over budget tax threat. so i mean, it's nothing new. leo starmer is going to tax the rich into oblivion, so they're off. i mean, this is a tale as old as time. and we could and it does say it could. we could lose 9500 millionaires, which would be the most of any country except china. and they're worried about the tax plans and the budget. of course, they're worried about the non—doms inheritance tax , the non—doms inheritance tax, which will be applied to more stringently to non—doms and high high end property is also facing a lot of uncertainty , not a lot of uncertainty, not knowing in what ways labour will be allowed to say a word beginning with s them . sc is beginning with s them. sc is thatis beginning with s them. sc is that is that you can you say it's the kind of word louis says all the time? the way labour will do them. >> yeah. do. yeah. do them tax on them. >> well not really. no >> well not really. no >> sc sc screw . yeah. well this >> sc sc screw. yeah. well this is a really mild idea. we are

really scared of ofcom . we are really scared of ofcom. we are part of the scared that jobs this long i think by not saying any words. >> it's not just the fact that taxes are going up. it's the fact that if you're rich, you're not using any of the services that your taxes pay for. you're not using the nhs anymore because we've got you know, so much private medical care now, people have sort of drifted into the private sector there. and also there's no national unity because we've had massive levels of immigration. we've had national spirit suppressed. i think, you know, 20 years ago people might have felt i'm helping out my brothers, my fellow, my fellow englishmen or scotsmen, if you're like me. >> well, my, my theory might be slightly different in that just maybe the country is a bit more rubbish in that they're going we had more to stick around for. we had more to stick around for. we had better, you know. so for me it's like invest that money in the arts make. that was the whole point. we're a cultural happening hub. we're britain, you know, and we've sort of lost that sheen a little bit. and if we bring that, that's why the rich people want to be here and they don't want to be in all these other places because they're rubbish. >> and those people are drawn

here by culture. i think, you know, you've got culture all around the world. taylor swift goes to every city. >> she does like dubai. yeah, dubai . dubal >> dubaps dubal >> dubai's got so much. they've got a comedy club there. yeah, exactly . exactly. >> one comedy club where you can't say anything. >> yeah. no, you can say more in dubai than you can in. >> well, things have changed. well, that's what i'm saying. bnng well, that's what i'm saying. bring it back where we've got actual have the comedy. comedy unleashed. of course. >> leo is right, though. even lefty papers like the new york times, they admitted that in a multicultural society , trust multicultural society, trust goes down. things like giving blood goes down, signing up for the army goes down. so that's the army goes down. so that's the kind of thing you were alluding to? yeah. >> and also, i think people love giving blood and go in the army. >> no you're right. well rich people, well, they won't even have it. you're saying they won't have they don't use public services. they won't even use the police anymore. it'll be hi pubuc the police anymore. it'll be hi public like private security, making the houses like they will use our culture. >> that's the they will partake in that. >> i think you're over. you're overestimating how much people want to see cast reform. i think as well as as well as people leaving the people. the people who stay are going to look at tax minimisation as well. so i think even the people who aren't leaving, we're going to we're going to see a lower. the laffer

curve never lies. that's the curve never lies. that's the curve that says if you raise taxes too high, you get less tax . taxes too high, you get less tax. so we'll see. moving on. what are the i got in the cover josh. >> game changer weight loss pills on the way in. major boost to the nhs. there's eight anti—obesity drugs are undergoing the final stage test worldwide. and the reason this is a game changer for the nhs is because we spend about i think it's 8 billion a year or something like that through the it costs the country overall, not just the nhs, but we could host migrants for two weeks on that. yeah, exactly. and also the good thing is or we could use like overweight people to like warm the elderly, just stand around their body heat will be enough to like just put a wick on the top of them. yeah burn. yeah. so, so that whatever the cost of these drugs are, i imagine it's more economically viable to put people on the drugs so they lose the weight. so it's not costing us a fortune. so that makes sense. there is a part of me that's kind of like, do you deserve to lose the weight? like, is it cheating? like you should like you should make go through the

hard part. >> they haven't earnt it. they won't get the moral character that comes with the weight loss . exactly. >> the ballooning up and down like my stomach aches. yeah so that would be my only, like . that would be my only, like. >> but are we now at least admitting that being fat is bad ? admitting that being fat is bad? that's what i know because the culture has been telling us for a long time. it's amazing to be fat while working on revolutionary weight loss drugs. >> well , the thing is, a lot of >> well, the thing is, a lot of the body positive influencers who are saying it's time to be fat is healthy . yeah, a lot of fat is healthy. yeah, a lot of them are dead now. so the new ones that have come through have said, you know, i want to i want to make it to 35. >> you want to thin. >> you want to thin. >> yeah. yes >> yeah. yes >> stowlawn ozempic weird miracle weight loss drugs. >> when i was a kid, it was just called drugs, living in scotland. moving on. finally. what insight does the star have to share? >> nick, this is actually quite good for star. it's you. okay, gandalf. and it's about ian mckellen. sir ian mckellen saying that the queen, late queen, our beloved late queen was quite mad. and that is actually it is quite rude. he's saying towards the end she was quite mad and quite rude. but then his example of her being

rude is that he said . then his example of her being rude is that he said. he said to her, you know, she said to him, receiving some sort of lifetime award, you've been doing this for an awfully long time. he said, not as long as you. she smiled and said back, does anyone still actually go to the theatre? that's called banter. that's called funny banter. the queen is funnier than you, sir ian.and queen is funnier than you, sir ian. and that's your problem. and he did say elsewhere that harry. as for harry, he's probably not bright enough or doesn't have the right friends to really help himself. mind you, he had the pick of all the pretty women in the world. i hope he's got the right one. shots fired or staff fired. >> he seems to be doing the miriam margoyles thing of like he's got old, so now you can see what he wants. >> exactly. we've already reached that stage. >> do you think the king should have him beheaded? >> no, i don't maybe take away his sir. whatever he is, put him in the tower. exactly. >> but is he ian? >> but is he ian? >> i mean, it's another story about the queen being really funny, that's all. that was the nicest thing. after in the death was just all these people coming up with these great stories about her. she was witty. she was cool. >> well, thank god ian mckellen wasn't there. he'd have ruined the week. >> yeah. come up with some stories of her being mean to him. >> anyway, that's the front page

is dealt with. stay with us to find out. starmer's illegal immigration plans. kamala attacking jd vance and bad news lazy accountants. see you

it sounds like a great guy. anyway welcome back to headliners. your first look at saturday's newspapers with sex symbol humorist josh howie and nick dixon. we've got to stop letting josh write the links, kicking things off with saturday's daily mail revealing hamas's torture plans. i'm starting to think hamas aren't the nice guy lefties say they are i. >> shocking news. everybody is very surprised what's happened here. hamas is cruel plan for israeli hostages is revealed on a secret document found on computer belonging to the terror group's leader , including group's leader, including psychological torture. so this

document was . it was written document was. it was written supposedly in a couple of months old. it was found on jo white sinwar. computer that was discovered by the idf. >> he's now an mp in birmingham. yeah >> and. yeah on a policy to help birmingham area and nothing . birmingham area and nothing. yeah. but, so this basically shows how all these people are out and they're going to be out tomorrow marching through various cities in the uk calling for ceasefire and hamas have never had any intention of actually wanting a ceasefire or that's not their aim . their aim that's not their aim. their aim is to use the hostages and to use psychological torture to encourage the families to then put pressure on the israeli government and the world to then also put pressure on the israeli government. so all they really want to do, hamas , is to want to do, hamas, is to survive, to fight another day, to kill jews another day. and this proves it. and yet people, of course, are not going to care

and they're just going to go, yeah, no, they really want ceasefire. no they don't. they just want to kill jews. >> no, nick, we need some balance. so josh says hamas are bad. >> great guys. you know, you say that like, i mean, obviously when i say it's obviously a funny joke, you know, if you don't mind dark humour. but there's also people who believe that on october 7th, you know, that on october 7th, you know, that woman from novara media said it was a day of celebration. yeah. to me, that's so insane. it's obviously a joke, but some people are like, guys hear them out. >> even professors at the elite universities in america were, were, were cheering it on, saying it was they were using the language that woke people used all this, you know, abolishing whiteness and decolonialism. and this is it. this is what they actually mean when they say decolonial. >> they take it very, very seriously. they fully bought into the dogma. i know they've lost their humanity. it's very weird and disturbing. yeah. this is horrible reading about the hostages. apparently they forced them to criticise the israeli government, but that can't be effective. and it was so obviously someone's being coerced. what's the point? is it just pure humiliation? is that the only point of that? >> yeah. it's just it's just to put the sort of to encourage

these the families out over there who i mean, you can't imagine, you know, to have their loved ones being held for nearly a year now. and then, as we saw last week, six of them just murdered at point blank range . murdered at point blank range. yeah, yeah. it's just it's horrific. and it is to sow dissent, but it's a war of attrition . israel has no choice attrition. israel has no choice but to go in and destroy hamas . but to go in and destroy hamas. so it can't happen again. it's a war of defence. >> but i guess there are voices in israel who say that they need to engage with the palestinians and make sure there isn't a culture and an environment that gives rise to barbarians like hamas, because they were elected by by the palestinians. >> well, it's a it's a it's a problem where you're trying to how do you make peace with people who it's literally in their educational system that jews have horns and they're evil. and, you know, it's a it's a systemic cultural issue of hatred towards jews that needs to be sorted. israel has has offered peace many times. it's multiple times it's been , turned multiple times it's been, turned down by the palestinians. they don't want peace and we in the

west or useful idiots in the west, sort of think, oh, you can't have they don't have the same mentality. they are islamic fundamentalists. that's what hamas are. they just and they don't care. they actually want their civilians to be murdered and killed , whatever. and that's and killed, whatever. and that's why they put their weapons in civilians. it's maddening. it's maddening. >> well, yeah. >> well, yeah. >> give it two weeks before labour brings them over here. moving to on saturdays telegraph next. and there's pressure on keir starmer to end arms sales to israel and start arming hamas instead. >> josh oh yeah. more great double time. so pro—palestinian protesters to target labour conference. we've got the labour conference. we've got the labour conference coming up in a couple of weeks. it's going to be in liverpool that is sort of grand central for a lot of antisemites , central for a lot of antisemites, it's a great city, great city, great comedy clubs, but there's a lot of anti—semites there as well. and yeah. and they're going to be doing some big protests. the as we saw last week , labour have sort of lammy week, labour have sort of lammy turned down about 30. i'm

slightly distracted because. nick. sorry, sorry, looking at photos of himself online. >> no, they really are, you know, looking at something. >> i was checking something about the broadcast. josh shouldn't have mentioned it. >> sorry. i should have mentioned it was very, very, very rare, to be honest. >> if you're looking at someone on your phone, it could have been worse. >> yeah, he's watching the show. >> yeah, he's watching the show. >> it was tractor porn , >> it was tractor porn, >> it was tractor porn, >> but. yeah. so, lammy, you know, these 30 of these arms licences were rejected, and of course, that's not going to be enough for the protesters. they want full on. nick. >> i'll just bring you in here because i mean, lammy did, did cut off. i think it was about 10% of the arms exports from the uk to israel. but he said, you know, the government's basically accepted that there's significant evidence that israel may be using weapons in violation of international law. so if they said that, why would they? why would they only cut off io%? i they? why would they only cut off 10%? i can sort of see why the protesters would say, well,

if you're saying this, why? why stop at 10%? >> and there is that absurdity that this sentence sums it up, that this sentence sums it up, that the decision was condemned by supporters of israel, as well as pro—palestinian supporters, who said it did not go far enough. so it's a completely impossible and this is the situation labour are in where the left now there is a strange threat, aren't they, to to the the starmer, the corbyn like you've created this, you've got rid of corbyn and you've just created a man hell bent on revenge who's formed this independent alliance with these independent alliance with these independent candidates who nearly toppled some fairly major labour mps. so they just have this impossible, strange situation where they it isn't really we've got a weird position where the rhetoric is israel is nominally our ally, but the rhetoric can't be sort of. it's not like ukraine, russia where they just they're just so openly pro ukraine. starmer has got this weird thing to kind of not sound too pro—israel, while still sending help to them. right. because you don't want to alienate by the way of sending help. >> but it's, you know, but it's not being given away. this help, this is being paid for by

israel, you know , and also we israel, you know, and also we sorry, we it's not stereotypical at all. >> josh. >> josh. >> no no no no no. but can i just say something? what you just say something? what you just said about the, the what the they found was or whatever it was, was they said that these weapons could be at risk of being used in so there's no evidence that weapons have been used to breach international law. they just said they could be used. well, that's not enough. i think any weapon could be used in that manner. but there is no evidence that it has breached international law. i think this i think this suggests a bigger issue for britain, which is the fact that, you know, we've got a rapidly changing population. >> the muslim population formed 33% of the population growth over the last ten years, which if you extrapolate that over a decade or two, that's, you know, looking like it's really going to it's already tilting the electoral landscape and we're seeing some demographics in the uk voting entirely along sectarian lines. >> and that's what you have. you have the alliance between the far left types and basically certain specific immigrant sort of interest groups voting in

their own interests and voting about foreign conflicts. and i just think the left sort of so—called sort of starmer left are to blame because the sort of liberal managerial left because or liberal managerial elite have played along with the woke left for a long time. and now it's finally biting them on issues like this. >> yeah. and i just want to say that , you know, when it's talked that, you know, when it's talked about sectarian like in their own interests, it's got nothing to do with their own interests. it's got nothing to do with what's broadly a pakistani. british. what's that got to do with gaza? it's like it's the it's the religion and it's well, it's the religion and it's well, it's a religion. so it's an ideology. it's an ideology. but the point is that it's not like this war has been fought in pakistan and it's pakistani muslims. >> or give it a few years and moving on to the daily mail or saturday's mail. nick, with bad news from remote workers at pwc. they're going to be the subject of the next audit . of the next audit. >> yeah, it's accountancy giants pwc will track workers locations in crackdown on office attendants. a staffer told they must be at their desk three days a week. so on one hand, that's

absurd because it's like, yeah , absurd because it's like, yeah, that's your job. on the other hand, of course, i'm not particularly comfortable with them tracking their locations, which sounds awful to me. >> there is a black mirror. >> there is a black mirror. >> yeah , yeah, there is >> yeah, yeah, there is a certain sort of irony in that. the kind of managerial tyranny that allowed the lockdowns is what is the same kind of ethos that will now be used to track people. but it's the same reason they got used to working from home in the first place, you know what i mean? it sort of giveth and taketh away. they brought in these lockdowns, which is a completely absurd overreach. anyway, everyone got used to working from home, so we don't go back to work. it's like, well, now we've got to continue to use our sort of technocratic means to force you to come back to your desk. so the whole thing is bizarre and disturbing, and they have to make these weird arguments that are basically for going to work. so they've now restricted staff from taking a half day on friday, which was a pandemic perk, they call it, which has taken four years to get rid of. and the person here says it. being there basically provides a better client experience and learning environment for staff. they're basically saying come to work because it's better for getting work done, but it's weird. you have to make the case for it again.

>> but josh, shouldn't they look at measuring output instead of because i think there's a real problem in british, british business? certainly when i worked in it of presenteeism, of just going into the office wearing a suit, looking like, you know, what you're doing, like i'm doing now. >> yeah, exactly. we're sort of half here. no, you're 100% right, because there are certain jobs that that if it is about selling or there's an argument, if it's terms of generating business where being in a group environment would help and making contacts or not, if it's accountancy and they literally just have spreadsheets and it's just have spreadsheets and it's just about how much of the data do they work through, then you don't have to be in work. it's not about dealing with clients face to face if it's just emails. so in that case, they should they should stay at home, measure output instead. >> moving on. we've got the independent now, which is kamala harris attacking jd vance. but is she being fair ? josh? is she being fair? josh? >> indeed, harris rebukes jd vance for calling school shootings a fact of life in response to deadly georgia attack. i think she is being fair. he's trying to say afterwards, no, i didn't say

that. but it seems to me that he did sort of say that it's that he did he. >> because reading this, it doesn't sound like he said it like that. >> that's okay. >> that's okay. >> that's okay. >> that's even for josh. >> that's okay. >> that's even forjosh. that is shocking. >> okay. i'm just look, i didn't see him, so all i'm reading is from him. i never saw the actual clip. and you say it's about this intonation or something because to here it looks like no no, no no no. no, [10 [10 ho. no, no no no. >> he said, well it's in the quote here it says, i don't like that this is a fact of life. but if you're a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realise schools are soft target. he even goes further than the clip he says this. it's horrible. it's evil. i don't like this as a fact. he's saying he hates the fact. he's saying he hates the fact that there are school shootings . shootings. >> she never said that. >> she never said that. >> he said that he hates, but he hates that they're weak security so that people can use it and they can sort of become famous in a very dark way. and there's not any security there. so when she says, oh, the way she's it's kind of like the fine people hoax from trump, the fine people on both sides. it's worse than that. he's obviously he's saying, i hate the fact that school shootings, but the security is too soft. and then her response is saying, we have to think how to make this less common. you know, it's not just

a fact of life. she's saying school shootings are not just a fact of life. he's saying they are currently horribly a fact of life. >> no, but he's saying they are a fact of life because he's basically saying, clearly, the way she's spinning it is like, oh, they're just a fact of life. >> and he's not saying, okay. >> and he's not saying, okay. >> but what he is saying is, but she's not doing it. >> he says here, clearly strict gun laws is not the thing that's going to solve this problem. yeah. >> quite right. >> quite right. >> right. or. well where's that clearly evidence coming from because they haven't they haven't. >> you've got to think there's the guns , there's positives. and the guns, there's positives. and benefits other than just school shootings okay. >> but the point is that clearly strict gun laws could well cut down on these gun, >> i mean, possibly they could do they could do more around, you know, restricting them to to, people who are who have been convicted or to i mean, it's a slippery slope. i mean, why do you think we're handing out guns to civilians in ukraine? sometimes people need guns and there's a war that they're fighting. >> yeah . okay. >> yeah. okay. >> yeah. okay. >> have you have you noticed the american government? i mean , the american government? i mean, the only thing that stops america from descending into the anarchic tyranny of europe, a

lot of times people like national rifle association members or whatever do take down these shooters, obviously legal gun owners. >> this is a that's a massive debate. of course, the american right is in favour of the second amendment. and of course, they're not going to say banning gunsis they're not going to say banning guns is a suggestion. is a solution. they're going to say arming teachers, for example, or upping security, which is what he's saying. that's one thing, is the general argument. then there's the is kamala harris misusing what he said and misrepresenting it. and the answer is absolutely yes. >> well, he's saying it's he's saying it here. she's saying it's a fact of life, you know, because he's been saying, let's not do spinning it and trying to say it shouldn't have to be factor. >> he's saying it's horrible. >> he's saying it's horrible. >> well, this is misinformation . >> well, this is misinformation. >> well, this is misinformation. >> this is exactly the kind of misinformation, the fake news that the democrats said they're going to clamp down on. so i look forward to them putting themselves in jail. anyway. we're at the half way point. stay with us to find out what happened to that labour politician who called for right wing throats to be cut, and to not out how much the paying paying on luxury flats for

welcome back to headliners. and we're getting straight into saturday's express. nick, remember that labour councillor caught on camera saying some naughty things ? naughty things? >> he says he didn't see them allegedly saying some things. yeah yeah, yeah it's an ongoing case i think. so we have to be careful with it. suspended

labour councillor ricky jones denies calling for far right to have throats cut, and the grounds that he's he's pled not guilty to encouraging violent disorder on the grounds that he accepted the words, had been spoken but denied knowing the offence of violent disorder would be committed. so i suppose he's denying that it was any kind of direct incitement. >> i guess that's the way it works in this country, is that you're allowed to break laws if you're allowed to break laws if you don't know that law exists, you've got to stay stupid. yeah, that's that was a joke. >> that's ideal. ideal for lefties. lefties can't commit any crimes . they're too lefties. lefties can't commit any crimes. they're too dumb. >> yeah. i mean, that does seem his defence barrister said that he accepted the words had been spoken, but denied knowing the offence of violent disorder would be committed. so he genuinely thinks you can say words like that as long as you're referring to right wing people, you're allowed to say it. so if you can dehumanise a group of the a part of the people you disagree with, then yeah, then then it's fine. >> i'm not saying any of this. i want to influence anything or be this is all these guys. but i do want to say i'll say one general point. the fact that he pled not

guilty is interesting because we've seen so many people who've said things about the riots, tweeted misguided things, posted misguided things, and they've all pled guilty and they've all been packaged off to jail. and people keep saying, why are they pleading guilty? and a lot of it seems to be because they've been told they'll get it'll get processed quicker and they'll actually come out quicker than if they plead not guilty. >> they're being held on remand anyway, so they just they want to be released. >> this person appears to have been given different advice because he's pled not guilty. well, this is the thing that i will say that's not necessarily related to the case directly, is that there's a lot of talk about two tier policing, and i have used that phrase myself. >> what's interesting here is, of course, this is counter to that narrative somewhat, because here it is someone from the different political aisle saying something, and he was immediately arrested and dealt with. so let's just say there's two obvious comebacks. >> one is that he was on camera saying it's very hard to not do anything. and two, he's already pled not guilty, which already suggests perhaps a different legal approach. >> it's not like keir starmer went into a cell and went, just say you're not guilty or leave it. well, i don't know why. >> why is it? i'm not saying that happened, but why is it?

i'm just asking the question. i'm just asking the question. i'm asking the question why has he pled not guilty when so many people have pled guilty when it seemed not in their best interest? yeah. >> we've seen people get years for things like farting near a police horse or tweeting a picture of their lunch. i mean, it's ridiculous. >> yeah. and those are facts. those two. yeah. we want to stick to the facts here. >> yes. yeah. so we'll see. >> okay. well moving on josh we've got the telegraph now and labour are giving asylum seekers luxury flats with flat screen tvs and satellite television. but they won't tell us how much it costs. they deserve it. >> they deserve it. they need it. they need they . who knows? it. they need they. who knows? they could be watching hard trip as long as it as long as the only thing they can watch is gb news then i think it's like money well spent. cost of furnishing asylum seeker flats too sensitive to be released, says watchdog. so not only do we have this, you know, possibly huge amount of money on flat screen tvs are still quite expensive, aren't they? being spent. we. then we're told that we're so sort of as a country can't be trusted to not riot is the gist of it, that that we

have to that that information has to be kept from the public because even though it's in our interests, we might freak out. >> i mean, surely the fact , >> i mean, surely the fact, nick, that it's sensitive is the reason it should be released? >> i was going to say it's worked so well, hasn't it? we saw with the southpaw. it worked so well covering up the guy's name. it worked so well. every time you say a man has done a thing that fools everyone, it works so well. when the grooming gangs were suppressed deliberately, seemingly because they were worried about racial sensitivities , that didn't lead sensitivities, that didn't lead to any kind of deep resentment in the country. you know , or in the country. you know, or even when you say that an obvious man is a woman, suddenly these female paedophiles and lo and behold, we see a picture. it's a man who's claiming to be a woman who's transitioned yesterday. these are all absurdities. the regime is absolutely committed to perception management. even when it doesn't work, it doesn't appear to work in any way. yet for some reason they carry on doing it. it may be just to purely demoralise us, but it doesn't work ever, as far as i can see. but they keep doing it well. >> i think. i think it does work a bit because so many people just follow the they believe what they read in the guardian

and they just believe what the what the government says. so if the government says, oh, we can't tell you what we spent on illegal immigrants, so they'll just say, okay, well, they can't tell us, so it can't be bad, don't you think? >> the deep unrest recently shows that it's just not working anymore? no. >> well, that's what i was gonna say, is i think that actually it is people. there's been too many incidents now, and it's across too many issues for people to buy it now to see that there's been an alignment between the media, between the government of the day. remember, this is all a lot of it's been under the tory government as well. and people aren't buying it anymore . and it aren't buying it anymore. and it is interesting to see people waking up to this. and, it's going to be interesting to see what's going to happen next. the big thing, of course, is, is that the government has this information about crimes committed by and people's country of origin. yeah. and in terms of sexual crimes stuff and that information is out there that information is out there that has been people have been trying to get it by freedom of information, and they have been holding it back. >> well, because we've seen in germany and other european

countries that that is sometimes really shocking. i think german politician got into trouble for discovering that, i think afghan men , afghan origin men, were 40 men, afghan origin men, were 40 times more likely to commit sexual offences. and she shared that and got banged up in germany because they're even worse than the uk. we've got more telegraph now in a white ambulance driver. that's the colour of him , not the ambulance colour of him, not the ambulance accused of racism has won his tribunal, which sounds more like a blasphemy trial . a blasphemy trial. >> nick, although it probably was also the colour of the ambulance . yeah, if you look at ambulance. yeah, if you look at most of them there are bits of green. so ambulance manager suspended for systemic racism. comment was discriminated against. ricky garrett has been awarded £3,750 in compensation after suing the london ambulance service, and the case basically was following george floyd, the very unfortunate overdose of a criminal in another country. we all went a bit mental and had brought in all these. what? okay, i'm not. >> we should also say there were other factors as well. i know you're going to say about the police, you know, but there was someone's knee on his neck, but he was saying he couldn't

breathe before he even hit the ground. >> and forensics showed that he probably wasn't murdered. probably. but that's a whole other topic. >> it only taken enough fentanyl to kill a regular person. >> yeah, his blood pressure was higher than lewis's. that's all i'm saying. but the point is, yes. okay. it was a horrible incident. it was very unfortunate , and he was trying unfortunate, and he was trying to turn his life around. i've watched the documentary, but after that, people went a bit mad around the world and said, we've got to now bring in absurd unconscious bias trainings and all these kind of things. and this man here, ricky garrett, was a victim of this, whereas his view was very much that systemic racism doesn't exist because he had a sort of colour—blind , meritocratic view, colour—blind, meritocratic view, the kind of view we grew up with in the 90s, a kind of classic liberal view. and the judge agreed. the judge quotes martin luther king and says, yeah, you're absolutely right. and that's consistent . of course, that's consistent. of course, you wouldn't believe in critical race theory type beliefs when you believe in this meritocracy. so thus you were correct. of course, the guy is actually wrong because systemic racism does exist in this country. it's against white people. and this actual case is another example of that . this is a rare case of that. this is a rare case where, okay, you've actually won, but he still was under all sorts of pressure at work, got in all sorts of trouble at work. yeah, we see this constantly.

white people get they don't get jobs, they get attacked. they get told to do unconscious bias training. this is systemic racism . spiked mocked me for racism. spiked mocked me for saying that, but it seems to me clearly true. >> yeah, well, you only need to watch an ad break. the only the only time you see a white person is when it's for gambling or alcohol . alcohol. >> herpes, i saw and a euthanasia in canada. right if you want to kill yourself, basically. >> but these these are things that white people are particularly good at. >> yeah. what herpes and herpes. >> yeah. what herpes and herpes. >> these are these are skills , >> these are these are skills, this is a disturbing article, but also for me, one of the obe, the member of staff who overheard a conversation, reported the comments to bosses. and that was the kind of time i know that's kind of time. and it should be pointed out that his this this, mr garrett, who was has a partner and three children who are all mixed race. you know, you shouldn't have you shouldn't have to have to say that anyway, children to get out of a but the idea that he should be able to know but he didn't. but it's just it's just a it's an extra point. yeah yeah to that wasn't based on the actual

thing. but yes of course we all grew up in a time where martin luther king, it was about the content of character and whatnot, and it's incredible whatnot, and it's incredible what he had to go through in terms of being suspended. and he had to sort of write essays and have training. >> it's an incredible development. you're not allowed the liberal view anymore. you actually have to have the leftist extremist, very recent woke view , otherwise you'd be woke view, otherwise you'd be persecuted. it's just fascinating how we've reached that stage. yeah absolutely. >> next up, it's the guardian and health and safety killjoys want to put cigarette style warnings on food. is it time to start vaping food instead? josh >> possibly, if that makes me thinner. hard hitting warning labels should be on everyday food, says campaigners. this is the british heart foundation. there's a bunch of stuff here also, including new taxes on, salty products and, junk food. sponsorship of sport being banned, and we talked about this in an earlier story about the

problems of obesity. it is a big problem. we are addicted to sugar and salts and all of this. it's having a huge detrimental impact on people's lives, but also our finances. i as you know, i want to be like, oh, look, people should be trusted stuff, but we have an issue should well, i don't think we should well, i don't think we should because, look, they also they say overall, 39,000 people in england died before their 75th birthday in 2022, which is the highest number since 2008. >> maybe we should put warnings on vaccines. >> yeah. and of course, in modern britain, there's worse things than dying because the country is so bad. that's an angle you weren't expecting, seriously, though. yes. at least as i said before, they've admitted being fat is bad. so that's a start. i do agree this thing about this level of salt and sugar, i can't remember what it's called. it's not the uncanny valley, but it's something like that. there's this level where it tricks your body into never being satiated and because you never get those combinations in the wild, you get the honey which is sugar, or you get fat, which is fat.

>> you never get ice cream. you never get that delicious ice cream. exactly. >> so that is questionable whether you should be able to have that i my concern is giving starmer the green light to just go full. he's the wrong guy to give this to. he'll be like, you're only allowed to eat broccoli. one piece of chocolate every two weeks. can you imagine giving stuff? he's already such an authoritarian. we're going to give this 2,000%. yeah, he'll ban all. he'll ban all. nice food. they said here. that's my concern. >> they could save in the next ten years. if they implement this, they can save 11,000 lives. that sounds worth it to me. yeah. and also i want to lose weight, and i'm. i just lose weight, and i'm. ijust don't have any willpower anymore. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> we should ban you from eating chocolate. >> i think quality of life should be counted as well as quantity of life . anyway, we've quantity of life. anyway, we've got just the final section to go. after the break. we'll britain's biggest export and russell brand. there are two different stories in

welcome back to headliners and we're straight into the telegraph. and china is stopping western families from adopting chinese babies for a better life in the west. probably because they'll get a better life in china. nick. >> yes. well, it's china bans foreigners, as they're calling here from adopting its children, and of course, something had to happen because they have this low birth rate. many countries do japan, korea, us , italy, etc. do japan, korea, us, italy, etc. and so they are doing a very chinese thing like, let's just tackle it in a sort of very straightforward, draconian way, because that's what got them in a lot of trouble in the first place with the one child policy.

but now they're yeah . and but now they're yeah. and they're talking about, obviously they're talking about, obviously the sorrow and the turmoil of the sorrow and the turmoil of the parents who are all ready to adopt these children now, they suddenly can't . it's set for suddenly can't. it's set for people who have, blood relatives in china or a stepchild only permitted to adopt stepchildren and children of blood relatives in china. so very strict new policy. >> and they've had they've built up relationships with these children. on up relationships with these children. oh yeah. video calls. so yeah, it does. >> seems china doesn't seem to care that much about people's feelings. i can't help but notice. feelings. i can't help but nofice.so feelings. i can't help but notice. so they're just like, boom, no more. but you see why they're doing it? because they're doing it? because they're panicking about their birthrate and they're not wrong to do that. yeah >> yeah. and it's i mean, it's sort of a stereotype. and america, i think is, adopts about half of these 160,000 kids over the last, 20, 30 years. and yeah, it's, it's heartbreaking for the for the families who are already in transition. but after that point, it's going to be like , no, we need to and human like, no, we need to and human humans, we're going to be the ultimate commodity. our own, our own nationalities. >> i'm going to be a commodity

with some value soon. that's good. saturday's mirror with the urgent news that children can be a handful. josh >> yeah. most parents, mentally or physically exhausted by the end of the school holidays. as you might note, by my energy levels on this show, after after six weeks actually spending time with my family , yeah. it's you with my family, yeah. it's you just you've got to learn their names again. you've got to cook for them all day. you've got to sort of engage with them and play sort of engage with them and play with them as you're doing work. if you're not going away on holiday together, even when you're on holiday, there's that famous louis ck. bit where it's like closing the door as he's packed all the kids in and all the back. that's his holiday. as he walks around to his side and, and that's that's what it's like getting them back to school, really . this advert, this this really. this advert, this this article is just an advert to say, oh, you should go away and have some alone time. now that you've, you've got the kids back in school. but yes, it's a massive the kids go back went back to school this week and it was just like it was a massive weight off. >> so that's why josh is exhausted. what's your excuse, nick. >> yeah, it's the opposite. it's

being so alone that it becomes a kind of grind in itself. you know, i never thought i'd say this, but i respect josh for being able to have that many kids or, you know, just kids in general. i couldn't do it. i look at this and i go, how do people do it? people are talking about no mode night on my own. my about no mode night on my own. my whole life is just one long no mo, and that's how i like it. i couldn't cope with it. and i do know, just as a gentle side point, that intelligence is unked point, that intelligence is linked with not having children . linked with not having children. yeah. it's nonsense. statistically that is true. higher intelligence is linked to have fewer children. no, no . have fewer children. no, no. >> feel better. >> feel better. >> no, no. someone told me today and i'm repeating it because it suits my agenda. okay well, we've got the express next with britain's biggest export. >> is it bad vibes? nick >> is it bad vibes? nick >> it's actually music. it's proud brits have decided the nation's greatest export. and it's not the royal family. it's music. and you go, okay, brilliant. i'm i'm totally with you. we've got so much amazing music. who are you citing? and it says superstars such as coldplay, adele and ed sheeran. i was like, what are you? you could have cited so many. adele

is very talented, but ed sheeran , is very talented, but ed sheeran, you don't like ed sheeran? well, he's a he's a, he's a busker in my you know, he's not kate bush is he. he's not like the beatles. he's not. yeah. we could list all these people. he's not any of those people . he's not any of those people. but yes, our music is amazing and they're absolutely correct. it's a pity they cited those examples and apparently this was most likely to come from older generations. pride in music i guess. the boomers were very proud of the 60s. >> you know, i think music used to matter. josh, i used to know who's who was the top ten and now, you know, i couldn't tell you who's number one. >> your voice broke there. >> your voice broke there. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> i was 14 again. >> i was 14 again. >> yeah. no, i know i'm totally out of the loop, but film and telly is the other thing. computer games, interestingly, doesn't get a mention, but we have put some pretty iconic computer games out into the world, and they had some good music on them as well, like grand theft auto. >> but you know what? i don't know what's in the charts enhen know what's in the charts either, leo. but i do know with confidence that it's an auto generated muttering about degeneracy. yeah, that auto tune sort of garbage rap. >> absolutely. well, moving on,

we've got the telegraph now. josh and kamala has u—turned on a plastic straw ban. did she just work out what she drinks ? just work out what she drinks? those 2 pm. gin and tonics through. >> that's what we all drink, isn't it, yeah. kamala harris u—turns on the plastic straw ban . u—turns on the plastic straw ban. this is what the election in november is going to be decided upon, and rightly so, because paper straws suck and she has figured it out with her crack team of political advisers . and team of political advisers. and this is what the trump campaign was slamming into her, of her love, of paper straws. and she's done a u—turn. she's flip flopped on this issue, and just in time to save the election for her. >> yeah, nick, it's kind of strange that this became a focal point for their for their battles in the in the electioneering , something, as electioneering, something, as you know, low key. >> you mean like the whole survival of the west and america is a bigger thing? yeah, i think i actually disagree with you. >> if you've tried to have a mcdonald's strawberry milkshake with a paper straw, you would say that this is the fundamental crux of my civilisation. >> the fundamental point she

says she's changed her mind. she doesn't have a mind. she doesn't have opinions. they just wheel her out. and it's probably an i make her say the thing now, make her say the other thing . she has her say the other thing. she has no opinion. she has no thoughts. she's just a non—person. >> this is her thought. maybe this is the one. this is the one thought. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> anyway, the show is nearly oven >> anyway, the show is nearly over. so let's take another quick look at saturday's front pages. the telegraph leads with england manager. i won't sing our national anthem. the daily mail has none of our attack. submarines are at sea. the ai has game changer weight loss pills on weight in major boost to nhs. the times has rich ready to nhs. the times has rich ready to quit uk over budget tax threat . the daily to quit uk over budget tax threat. the daily mirror leads with i warned bosses someone would die. that's top gear. and finally the daily star has you. okay gandalf. and those were your front pages and that's all we have time for. thank you to my guest, josh howie and nick dixon. we're back tomorrow at 11 pm. with steve and alan hosting and cressida and nick panellists. and if you're watching at 5 am, do stay tuned

for breakfast till then. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers . sponsors of boxt boilers. sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello. good evening. it's been a pretty soggy day for many southern areas, but across the north and west it's been very warm and sunny. and that theme is set to continue as we head into the weekend as further heavy rain will arrive as a result of low pressure swirling around to the south of the uk. an easterly wind, though , will an easterly wind, though, will continue to bring in some low cloud to north and eastern areas, so some higher and low cloud still to come once again tonight across eastern areas of the north and the north and west, though, another dry and clear evening . now the heavy clear evening. now the heavy rain will push into parts of south wales. northern areas of devon as well, overnight, but it should tend to fade away as we head into the morning just for a time. so it will be a cloudy but mild start to the day for most of us. some sunshine around, however, particularly across northern areas. it's

particularly parts of the highlands down towards the central belt where we will see the best of the sunshine first thing, as well as southwestern areas of scotland in fact, as well as northern ireland. plenty of warm sunshine. temperatures already in the mid teens. first thing. another warm day to come for parts of northwestern england. a cloudy day though for parts of wales and the midlands. we've got the remnants of the of tonight's wet weather lingering in these areas. first thing tomorrow, and that will probably develop into heavier showers, potentially some thundery downpours after lunchtime on saturday and across the south. it will be a slightly drier day actually, but there is a risk of showers that will increase as the day goes on as those showers push up from the near continent. so in any sunshine feeling slightly warmer across the south, but still a pretty cool day for many southern and central areas. very warm in the north and west. a more widely wet day to come on sunday. outbreaks of potentially torrential rainfall across much of england and wales. it will come and go, but it could bring

further disruption to travel and delays on the road in the north and west. it stays dry for now, however. from monday we return to a north westerly wind which bnngsin to a north westerly wind which brings in much cooler air by by a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on
