the nhs were hopelessly misconceived. he said austerity in the coalition years and then the conservative government's handung the conservative government's handling of the covid pandemic, left the nhs in an awful position. the report is expected than were left waiting for more than six hours in a&e departments in england last year , and it's also england last year, and it's also likely to pinpoint falling vaccination rates and rises in adhd medication and an eating disorder related hospital admissions for children . in admissions for children. in other news, sir keir starmer met with his irish counterpart today as part of a commitment to reset relations between the uk and ireland. they say coordination on security policy will be among the priorities of planned annual uk island summits. the prime minister and irish premier, simon harris, agreed the terms of the leader level meetings as they held talks in dublin. the annual summits will focus on several key areas such as security, justice and global issues, climate, energy,

technology and innovation, growth, trade and more. a joint statement said their meeting marked the start of an ambitious programme towards a renewed and strengthened partnership. the first meeting will be held in march about moving that reset on, cementing it and making it ambitious. >> we're clear that by march we want to have a summit to show the yield from this, and then annual summits after that. we are also resetting our relationship with the eu, and i've made it very clear that i want a closer relationship with the eu. that's of course on security, on defence. but also on trade, reducing the friction and any business here in ireland will tell you that reducing the friction helps. and so we want to reset that relationship. >> the met office has issued a yellow weather warning with a heavy rain predicted in southern parts of the uk from tonight. the met office has said a new band of heavy and thundery rain will arrive on the south coast,

and it will make its way north overnight. it said some places could see up to 100mm of rain and there was a risk of power cuts and possible disruption to travel. and england have won their uefa nations league tie with ireland today. declan rice, with ireland today. declan rice, with the opener just 11 minutes into the game that was then doubled by jack grealish. this was the first test for england's interim manager, lee carsley, following gareth southgate stepping down after defeat in the euros final this summer. carsley didn't sing the national anthem ahead of the game. the 50 year old former ireland midfielder had indicated in advance that he wouldn't join in, but he said he respects the concept and those are the latest gb news headlines. for now i'm tatiana sanchez. and now it is time for headliners for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts .

slash alerts. >> hello and welcome to headliners, your first look at tomorrow's newspapers with three comedians. i'm called stephen allen. i'm joined by two people who will sing the national anthem for you. cressida wetton and nick dixon . take it away. and nick dixon. take it away. >> do you want me to do the verse about frustrate their politics, confound their knavish tncks? >>i tncks? >> i was watching last night because what else would i do when i'm not here? and i googled that when you said it, i thought, that can't be the real national anthem. >> lyrics. >> lyrics. >> it's so good that after all these years, you're still learning from me. that's still questioning whether you're telling the truth . telling the truth. >> actually, yeah. double checking. yeah. trust but verify. i think we've taken out all those verses to be politically correct, but i'm campaigning to bring them back. >> i think we've taken them out because we haven't got that much spare time. >> i want a mark dolan campaign to bring this back, scrap the other verses that people know, just go straight into the know, have a very long song . the trick

have a very long song. the trick one and the slavery one, cut the sport down and just have a really long song at the start. >> actually, you know what? >> actually, you know what? >> you're on to something there. but before we get all carried away, let's start by taking a look at tomorrow's front pages. the sunday telegraph goes with. bbc has breached rules 1500 times over gaza war. the mail on sunday warning over multiple tax raid by reeves. sunday times 721 children in rogue surgeon investigation. the sunday express winter fuel storm is labour's poll tax. the sunday mirror goes with oasis tour to go global and finally, daily star, get your round in pinocchio and those were your front pages . we can dig deeper front pages. we can dig deeper and have a closer look at the front pages and what's on the front pages and what's on the front pages and what's on the front page of the sunday telegraph. >> bbc has breached rules 1500 times over gaza war. what? this is a report by josh howie. no.

only kidding. josh had nothing to do with it. it's. it's a report by legal brain. trevor asser. asserson. it's a very small print. yeah. and so he's been counting. and the bbc, it turns out they're not impartial. there's some bias in their reporting. according to this chap, so apparently israel was associated with genocide 14 times more than hamas in the corporation's coverage, which is a lot, isn't it? i mean, that's a lot, isn't it? i mean, that's a massive difference, given that we're given to understand that hamas would like there to be no israel. >> yeah . in israel. >> yeah. in all israel. >> yeah . in all the categories >> yeah. in all the categories that they looked at, there's a little bar chart. if you look at the version online, and the only one where they were referring to hamas more than israel was when they were using the phrase crimes against humanity, which might be a board game thing. you never know. i've not read all its 9 million words. they manage to go through in it. it's a lot. >> imagine watching that much bbc. i mean, you've been on it. i don't want to diss you. you were the best thing on it.

you're the only thing i watched. i recorded all your bits. what was the. what was the show called? i skimmed through it, he didn't watch it, by the way, though, it's i they got i to do this counting. are you saying he didn't manually do this? steve, how dare you, yeah, it's a weird one, isn't it? the bbc and israel, they're very weird about it. everyone could see the bias. it was just so obvious. and they wouldn't call hamas a terror organisation and all that. it was all very strange . it's kind was all very strange. it's kind of the achilles heel because no one cares when they're not being fair about the gammons. no one cares about brexit. obviously some people care, but they're the lowest status people in society. but when it's on israel, people still get obviously weird about it because it's not weird. but they rightly go this is a bit off because it is really weird the way that the bbc is a left wing organisation, so it can't help itself. >> yeah, right. to do my annoying role of like bringing a bit of pushback. it gets us out of trouble. doesn't it, so they've done the i and one of they've done the i and one of the bbc guidelines that was breached was impartiality. however, this is i just checking for a sentence that might be, not impartial, might be partial if an article or whole piece had due impartiality, it would turn

up as two fails on the on the test. but ofcom would be okay with it, >> but do you really need i steve? i have eyes and ears. i'm the best. i there is. the eye is not as intelligent as a human. well some humans maybe. >> well, then they shouldn't have used an eye to do it though. do you know what i mean? the i i've done it myself. >> just manually. everyone's done it, steve. >> it's such a nick dixon comment. well, i'm the best i well, i has not been. >> will you say i have been able to beat human intelligence? that's a heck of a claim. >> one of its jobs, isn't it? depending on the we would all be dead by now or enslaved. >> it hasn't beaten us yet. >> it hasn't beaten us yet. >> if i asked chatgpt to draw me a nice picture of a, you know, a clock, it can probably do a better picture than you. so in some ways it wins. i know we're very much off topic now. >> it can retrieve a lot of information. yes, i understand that, but it's just regurgitating from the internet anyway. most of the time. yeah, and i wrote all that stuff. anyway. >> we all regurgitate from the internet. that's how you win arguments in pubs by googling stuff, right? let's take a look at the sunday express , nick. at the sunday express, nick. >> by all means. winter fuel storm is labour's poll tax. starmer faces revolt over shameful cut to pensioner

payment and this is a big problem for starmer. i mean he's he's doubling down saying it was tough decisions. he said a big tough decisions. he said a big tough decision. and he's making the tough decision that he promised. but he can't adapt because he's starmer. the dead eyed shark moving ever forward with his grim task . and he can't with his grim task. and he can't adapt so much. like i said on the last story, when he's calling normal english people or let's say english people who got carried away far right thugs. or maybe there were some thugs. my point is, when he's attacking that side, no one really cares. but here he's going after something that left wing people care about and the whole lefty media cares about. even though the express isn't really in that category, but even the guardian are condemning it. so my point is, he's annoying his base and he's annoying the sort of lefty establishment by going for the winter fuel, which is such a optically such a bad idea. and it's a bit like the bedroom tax for the tories. they're saying it's like the poll tax. i feel it's like the poll tax. i feel it's a bit like the bedroom tax. it's just bad pr you can explain it as much as you want and say we have to make these tough decisions for the future, but ultimately it's just a losing policy. >> yeah, terrible. >> yeah, terrible. >> yeah. i thought they would

have backed off it by now. >> do you know what? there's going to be a time when december, maybe january, there'll be a pensioner dies of cold and that's going to be front page. it's going to do such damage to the government. >> the express is sending out people to scour the country for that person. they're sending i milk bottle , i checking for milk milk bottle, i checking for milk bottles piling up. >> and as soon as they find one they're running with that story. >> well that's it. and also jeremy corbyn's forming his his party isn't he. i mean it's not yet but he's, he's i don't think he's going to go for this. he's going to this is not. yes. exactly. >> all right. we can move on to the observer. what's on their front page. >> the tories health reforms left uk open to covid calamity. so britain was hit far harder by the covid 19 pandemic than other developed countries because the nhs seriously was weakened by the disaster and fair enough. i mean, we're used to hearing these sort of, oh, we didn't do it right kind of stories, but this is actually something it's a report that's been commissioned by wes streeting. so obviously he's just trying to show how how bad the tories were dunng show how how bad the tories were during the pandemic. but i sort

of agree with this because what they're looking at is the fact that the health service was reduced more than other people, and it did feel like that at the time, didn't it ? if you tried to time, didn't it? if you tried to get through to a gp, nobody was there. you'd be looking through there. you'd be looking through the glass and there was nobody in the in the gp surgery. so i think this is quite interesting. >> a lot of it is blamed on the thing. in 2012, the health and social care bill, that's the one that they, they pinpoint as being where all the rot set in. >> yeah. it's perfect for streeting. as you say. he wants to reform the nhs. he can blame it on the tories and there's probably a lot in it as well. i mean the nhs was a disaster. the tories were in. so you can blame austerity and then you can reform it because otherwise it's hard to it's not the most popular policy. but now the nhs is so bad that i think that is actually it's finally becoming a popular policy to reform the nhs. so he's got some hard data here that he can wave around in the house of commons, and there will be some pushback on bias. >> not only is it commissioned by wes streeting, the author is a crossbench peer who used to be a crossbench peer who used to be a labour member, so yeah, there you go. yeah, but still, crossbench mentioned that loads . crossbench mentioned that loads. now finally we can go to the front cover of the daily star

sunday. nick. >> so glad we got to this steve. it's obe with three exclamation marks. actually get your round in pinocchio. and there's a sort of crudely rendered picture here of crudely rendered picture here of pinocchio in a bar with some ordinary men. and the point is that, an extremely important. they're just normal men, an extremely important study has revealed that blokes with large honkers don't like to stay at this stuff anymore, and most likely to duck around at the bar. that's just snout of order. i heard mark dolan say that earlier. i thought, oh, mark's made that up as well. i know he's read it straight from the start. snout of order. i thought it was more dolan, but that's pure star. so this is probably boffins i imagine has come up with a seagull. >> you never know. i wish we had the whole article. i'd love to know how they. how they decided this is what happened. >> i mean, do you think it's causation or correlation ? that's causation or correlation? that's the big question on these studies, isn't it? does the larger nose make you less likely to get a round in? >> well, it could be either of those or it might not be true . those or it might not be true. that's the third option, suppose. >> if your nose is very long and

you're like smelling wine, maybe you're like smelling wine, maybe you get so much enjoyment from the smell alone you don't need to go. you don't feel the need to go. you don't feel the need to go. you don't feel the need to go and get another round because you're swilling it around for ages. see this could be the logic. i've tried to apply logic to this story. >> steve. i'm amazed and you did it as well. i was thinking, thank you . utter rubbish. it's thank you. utter rubbish. it's another front page of nonsense. you found something in there? >> i'm even better than i. >> i'm even better than i. >> even better than i. that's the front page is dealt with in the section. we're attacking pensioners and find out who says. blame it on the

next. welcome back to headliners. your first look at sunday's newspapers with me steven alan still joined by cressida wetton and nick dixon. cressida the independent tony blair has been talking about good migrants versus bad migrants. is he trying to get a job here? >> nice. brexit failed and it triggered mass immigration, tony blair says ahead of his new book launch. so he's done this interview with the independent.

i haven't watched it, but he's he's lambasted boris johnson for promising to take back control over migration, but instead replacing young europeans with older immigrants from africa and asia , i mean, i think there was asia, i mean, i think there was a few polish people as well, wasn't there? it hasn't been hasn't entirely, gone that way. so he's he's delivered the most devastating critique of the failure of brexit and how consequently, britain has ended up with mass migration. he's urging starmer to fix ties with the eu and he's got lots of advice. he's talking about war. he thinks if we go to war, it will be because of the relationship between china and the us, he's advising that it's good to work with controversial leaders like trump. and he refers to his own personal relationship with what he's calling a prime minister silvio berlusconi . berlusconi. >> is he inspired you? do you do you get your leadership skills from tony blair? oh, yeah. >> i'm going to read this on leadership book several times. i love the idea. he's still pumping out these books on

leadership. he hasn't led any, but he does. he leads the tony blair institute, which runs half the world in secret. so there is that. yeah, he said this in the bbc interview the other day. so he's got this point and it is a good point that brexit has actually led to way more immigration. and he's implying of a lower quality kind. he's saying we've got whole families that are sort of dependents and we only need them as opposed to single people from europe. he's saying high skilled people . so saying high skilled people. so it is a good thing to bash the tories with because he's, you know, it's sort of ironic because he massively increased immigration in 1997, but they did completely mess it up. the only difference is i don't personally blame brexit. i blame failures after brexit, dominic cummings said the tories just inexplicably shot themselves in the face after doing the hard bit, the ostensibly hard bit of getting brexit done. they then just said yeah, we'll just bring in loads of people and post covid. they were very paranoid about the economy, so they just brought in loads of people, complete disaster. so he's right to attack them for that. he also calls putin delusional, which i think is not useful. i think putin is shrewd and it's not useful to look at him as delusional. he talks about how he's hoping maybe one day people

will change their minds on the iraq war. i do find that delusional because i don't think they will because he's obsessed with i, he always mentions i, i do like the bit about trump , do like the bit about trump, about how you have to work with people like trump, who, from his perspective, might be, you know, not exactly simpatico because alastair campbell is so ludicrous on this issue. he was posting recently how trump's ear was magically regenerated. it doesn't seem to quite believe in the assassination attempt, really kind of conspiracy based stuff. whereas blair, there was an interview with blair and campbell a while ago, and you could just see campbell kept pushing his extreme trump derangement syndrome. but blair was far more sensible because he understands you have to work with these people and he talks about berlusconi and how he we got the olympics partly because of his deal with berlusconi, apparently. >> yeah, i love that berlusconi saying to him, well, how much do you want it? and he says, i really want it for britain. go on then we'll change our vote. >> he can't have it. reads like he missed out the bit where he had to sleep with him , but he had to sleep with him, but he probably had to offer him something. >> berlusconi probably owns , >> berlusconi probably owns, like sheffield or something. we don't know. i know he's dead, but you know his family owns it forever. >> probably improve the place.

nick. the sunday telegraph finally, there's a type of pensioner we can attack. >> yeah, it's a gold plated pubuc >> yeah, it's a gold plated public sector. pensions cost every household £173,000. so they're calling this a $5 trillion bill, potentially . trillion bill, potentially. there was this defined benefit schemes. and this means you have to get a proportion of your salary for the rest of your life. and it increases with inflation. and if you factor in inflation. and if you factor in inflation and wage growth and all these other things, the true figure they reckon is around 4.9 trillion. the ostensible figure is 2.6 trillion. but they're saying it's even more. and i know there's this myth and it's very unpopular when you sort of attack this, but there's this myth that old people or people on pensions are paid in all their life. and of course, they haven't paid enough to sustain these pensions at all. we're paying these pensions at all. we're paying for it. there's a 10 billion shortfall that taxpayers are paying because employers and employees have not paid enough. so we're all paying for it. employees have not paid enough. so we're all paying for it . and so we're all paying for it. and even though only 7% of private sector workers get this annual increase, so they increase annual inflation and enjoyed by more than three quarters of the

pubuc more than three quarters of the public sector employees, compared to 7%. so it's so annoying when you're in you're not a government when they say here they're paying 54 billion to their own ex—employees did the whole thing just sounds like a scam to me. pensions. what scam. >> retirement, isn't it? i mean, but this has been going on for a long time. i don't know what's triggered this to be mentioned now. i mean , is it because we've now. i mean, is it because we've got strikes in unions? and i always think that when you see people on the picket line, it's like, yeah, but come on, guys, the benefits are really good, you know? and if you've got that kind of job, it's good for the rest of your life. that's amazing. yeah. >> but and in the article they say like if they stop these policies tomorrow then it would be a huge bill. that's the problem. you can't get off the merry go round on this one because you need people still in these pensions to keep paying these pensions to keep paying the money. as you say, there is no pot. there's just a in that moment transfer of money, they stop. it's a nightmare. but if you carry on, it's going to be a bigger nightmare for the future. >> yeah. and the only positive i found, steve, is that because everything is collapsing and we're declining, everything is collapsing and we're declining , life expectancy we're declining, life expectancy is starting to come down. and that's the positive. i've found that's the positive. i've found that people will start as this country gets worse and worse . country gets worse and worse. people will start to die at like 30 again. >> no, they're all going to have

ozempic and live for longer now. >> ozempic doesn't that just kill you as well? it makes you thin. well we don't really know, to be honest. that's a satirical claim. don't sue me, ozempic. >> they probably. they've got a lot of money off that. that novo nordisk people, apparently. i know i should do all these side points, but that's the reason that denmark is not in recession . that denmark is not in recession. everything else is going terribly, but they're selling so much of that stuff that they've avoided recession. wow. yeah. cressida, mail on sunday labour may have ended one trade deal. >> labour faces internal backlash over foreign secretary's decision to restrict certain arms exports to israel, with mps warning the move could send the wrong message to hamas and adversely affect the safety of israelis. it could send the wrong message to hamas, couldn't it? it could do exactly that. so the government's own solicitor general , sarah sackman, and two general, sarah sackman, and two other labour mps said the foreign secretary's move could send the wrong message to us and she, she is, well, there's an mp who's basically saying, look, my constituents are coming to me and complaining about this. we've got to bring it up. we've got to talk about it,

>> i thought we were going to get one night off talking about israel without josh howie, but we didn't. yeah but it does seem like this weak attempt to appease everyone. they've got this impossible situation, haven't they? with, with israel . haven't they? with, with israel. give them some of the arms because they're trying to thread this impossible needle of not alienating all their voters who hate israel and the ones that don't. so, yeah , that's the way don't. so, yeah, that's the way i always see it. boris johnson claims they're abandoning israel by doing this. it does seem a bit like that to could seem like that to some people. i'm being very neutral. i don't know , it's very neutral. i don't know, it's the second rebellion they're facing as well. >> i mean, you know, we are i think currently at 1.29, liz truss is in to this administration and two rebellions already . rebellions already. >> if the deep state was against starmer in the way they were against liz, he'd be gone already. steve. >> he wouldn't have made it to nought point eight. >> liz truss yeah, i'm taking that information from liz truss , that information from liz truss, >> nick the mail on sunday. it looks like some of the criminals being released to free up prison space might be bad people. tell us more. us more. >> us more. >> yeah. keir starmer to set free domestic abusers under labour government's new early

release scheme. and this is part of what i've called operation arkham asylum, where starmer likes to release all the actual prisoners and put people in jail for tweets. it's anarcho tyranny, folks. we've got a phrase for it already. so they talk about people like connor shaw. he'll only serve 13 months despite years of physical and mental abuse. i think this is the guy that strangled his partner and broke her jaw. he'll partner and broke herjaw. he'll be getting out. shane riley is another one who punched, kicked and headbutted his victim. as long as these people are all going to get out much earlier, he was sentenced to 23 months. he'll serve less than nine, so it's the first time the automatic release point for prisoners fell below half sentence. serve so it's just full on anarchy, full on chaos. this is what starmer loves to do. he's known for this. he went around to places like uganda and malawi. i've talked about it before, letting off the most vicious killers , campaigning to vicious killers, campaigning to get them off the death penalty. so his favourite thing to do is to release and help violent criminals while putting people in jail for nasty, nasty tweets .

in jail for nasty, nasty tweets. >> specifically these examples. what happened to the we're going to get rid of misogyny. i mean, these these aren't good people. and obviously the reason that they are potentially going to be all going to be released early is because they've got short sentences to begin with. if they had a sentence over four years, it wouldn't apply to them. which makes me wonder whether the sentences were the right length in the first place. right? i've just been reading robert hare's book without conscience, about psychopaths and towards the end, you know, obviously i've read one book, so i'm an expert, right? and he's saying, what can be done about psychopaths? and the answer is stay away from them, you know, or better still, keep them locked up. and i'm not saying these men are psychopaths, but it's not looking good, is it? yeah >> it wouldn't be crazy to assume someone might be a they've certainly got an anger issue. let's say some of them. yeah >>i yeah >> i love how quickly you apologise if i wouldn't want to offend the psychopath community by besmirching their good name, i wouldn't want to tag them in with these nasty fella. >> yeah. look, i don't know how can i it doesn't look good when we're talking specifically about

misogyny apparently being on the rise. >> yeah, i think that's a great point . like, please tell >> yeah, i think that's a great point. like, please tell us more about andrew tate yvette cooper. while you release men who strangle and punch women, telling people all these smaller things about not staring at women , women on the train and women, women on the train and things like that. >> this is really where it m atters. matters. >> well, cressida, to the sunday express, the best bit of diane abbott's memoir is that she dumped jeremy corbyn because he was too much of a lefty for her, not quite the reason, though, is it kind of is that sort of is okay. >> diane abbott reveals real reasons she stopped dating jeremy corbyn after nightmare date. and it's like, well, was it because he kept going on and on about marxism? sort of. she was complaining that he didn't take her out anywhere nice once after i know i won't, i won't do my impression, which looks up a lot, doesn't she , once, after i lot, doesn't she, once, after i lamented our lack of social activity as a couple, he pondered it for a few days. it took him days to think of this and told me we're going out. and so she gets all excited. she gets dressed up, she puts the right shoes on, the right feet ,

right shoes on, the right feet, and she's all excited. and when they finally get there, he's taken her to karl marx's tomb for a date . for a date. >> it's not very. >> it's not very. >> women don't love that. what's going on? i don't understand you. >> all i can say is what a legend. i mean, not my tomb of choice. we differ on the tomb. but you've got to respect the autism. i mean , what man has not autism. i mean, what man has not struggled for a date idea? because women don't like our hobbies. all he liked was party politics, which was 99% of his time. and the other 1% was working on his allotment. and there was that thing recently , there was that thing recently, wasn't there, about how women don't like men playing video games. they also don't like taxidermy. apparently. that was bizarre. it was this viral thing. so jeremy is there, you know, who can't relate to this? women are always like, oh, let's do something fun. and he's like, politics, allotments. oh, i've got nothing. karl marx's tomb. i could totally relate. you know, politics is the specifics aside, this was the first time i sympathised, i think, with jeremy , maybe when he got kicked jeremy, maybe when he got kicked out of labour a little bit. and this didn't you feel it, steve? come on, you're a man with a shed for all this. >> yeah, i totally understand. >> yeah, i totally understand. >> like you don't take your wife to the shed for a night out.

>> well, not yet, because it's not. it's not completed. but when the new shed garden room gets fully insulated, i'll be in there. >> well, this is all just to plug >> well, this is all just to plug her new book. and then she goes on to his family off and say they had a rubbish christmas. so i think it sounds like quite an interesting book, actually, that anecdotes , if you actually, that anecdotes, if you were going to make a if you were going to what's the word represent depict. >> that's the word corbyn's parents in a movie that would be exactly like this. she said the house was freezing and there was no alcohol, just boiled vegetables and turkey was their sole concession to the festive season. exactly how you pitched him . they were just sitting, him. they were just sitting, talking soberly about socialism on christmas day, which they don't believe in, probably anyway, because it's christianity, you know, and it's not. and then probably just celebrate marx as a little marx on the christmas tree. they all bow down to him, big dinner and then off down the old tomb, off down the tomb with your vegetables that you've made yourself that are disgusting to celebrate, isn't it? >> well, we've reached another checkpoint in the next section. what children should learn

r , where children should learn, what they don't teach you in school about

next. welcome back to headliners the sunday times, and it seems you can rewrite history. well, the syllable at least. syllabus. oh man. >> with a joke, mate. you're going to be the smart one. so labour drops plans to teach nuanced history of british empire. so they had this excellent new syllable for us. oh. >> now the syllable, the rest of my life. >> and it was by people like robert tombs or tombs. i don't think that's actually how you say it, but he's a he's very respected historian. and as kemi badenoch said, it was a serious piece of work by a panel of highly regarded historians. so naturally labour have scrapped it, obvs. i mean, it's bridget phillipson again , this i mean, phillipson again, this i mean, who who even thought about bridget phillipson ever until ten minutes ago. now she's just scrapping everything. she scrapped the higher education bill that people had worked on a lot and was obviously good for

free speech and universities. now she's scrapping this just laboun now she's scrapping this just labour, vandalising the curriculum, but they don't want educated people. they want ideological drones. they don't want people thinking , oh, the want people thinking, oh, the empire was nuanced. how does that help labour? so of course they scrapped it. >> yeah, i think you're right. it's very wasteful, isn't it? they did all that lovely work and now it's just being ripped down and replaced with, i don't know exactly what they want. a curriculum that reflects the issues and diversities of our society , ensuring all children society, ensuring all children and young people are represented. but i don't think the i don't think what's been scrapped would have would have not done that because that was the whole point was to have a more of a nuanced look at it, which would have included all that information. exactly. it was a history. >> i guess history at some point is going to include some information that doesn't entirely fit with modern day values, because it was in the past. i'm not a history expert , past. i'm not a history expert, but if there's one thing i know, it was in the past. >> yeah, we agree on that. >> yeah, we agree on that. >> this is it, isn't it? put a plaque on it, discuss what happened for balance. >> i should say it's in the future. >> yeah. okay at least we're safe from the ofcom people.

chris skudder the observer. pink floyd famously said we don't need no education, although with one they might have spotted that double negative. >> brilliant and fine children should be allowed to learn onune should be allowed to learn online instead of going to school. so anne fine is the former children's laureate , and former children's laureate, and she says that rather than punishing absenteeism, the uk's education system should change. no anne. fine. no, she's just published her 95th book. she obviously went to school. don't try and take it away for other people. so she's looking at the number of children who aren't going to school since covid. it's something like 1 in 10 are regularly missing. sorry, lots of them are missing more than 1 in 10 lessons. and obviously this is a massive problem. and she's sort of saying that during covid, we learned that teaching onune covid, we learned that teaching online can work because we did it for lots of children. no, but it for lots of children. no, but it didn't work, did it? we've got lots of kids now with social problems. they didn't come out of it well. so i completely disagree with this . disagree with this. >> nick. >> nick. >> yeah, there's obviously a class issue, isn't there ? if class issue, isn't there? if it's between what kind of

schooling you would get at home. so it's not necessarily a very lefty sort of right on thing to say because, you know, that's going to vary wildly. but i think it's interesting. chris whitty has emphasised the importance of attendance. oh cheers mate. school's back. is it after telling us it was completely expendable for as long as you fancied complete overreach of the managerial state, they all got carried away dunng state, they all got carried away during covid. they all got hysterical at school. that's gone now. that's gone. didn't you check the latest press conference? so now they want it back. but of course they can't put it back because they've they've done it. they've done it now. so now you're trying to tell people schools worthwhile again. i had one other point. oh yeah. homeschooling to give the other side though, homeschooling seems to be quite often fine. i mean , you don't learn leftist mean, you don't learn leftist propaganda unless your parents, jeremy corbyn, obviously, and it seems to be completely fine and you won't get viciously bullied. i mean, michael malice has that point about the only time most people experience violence is dunng people experience violence is during a school game. >> you're wrong about that because she says, you have to ask yourself, why are the numbers so high? the absent children. and it's something like the feminisation of

society. i don't mean we shouldn't have a woman as a prime minister. i mean the lack of discipline. and that's what happened during covid. so i don't think the answer is homeschooling. i think it's to have more discipline and do the michaela school stuff, you know, because the reason kids get bullied at school is, is often like, it's not because the teachers think that's a good idea. it's because there's not enough discipline to stop it. so i think she's she's wrong. >> it's because it's a comprehensive school in the nonh comprehensive school in the north that's just absolutely standard. it'sjust north that's just absolutely standard. it's just a violent place. i agree, i was giving both sides . i mean, partly both sides. i mean, partly i hated school. i think homeschooling would be fine. schools are now in leftist indoctrination centres. on the other hand. yeah, i think it was disgusting the way they shut them down during lockdown. so i'm torn in there. >> she says she hated school and this is where i'm the same as her and disagree with her. so she is clearly a massive introvert. and this is what i was like growing up. and i hated going to school, having to be near other people. but if i'd have done that, i mean, i'd barely leave the shed as it is if i hadn't have been to school, i wouldn't have learned the small amount of like, social skills that i've got. i'd have been even worse. >> that's the danger. i wouldn't

have the social charm i have to this day. >> exactly . so something needs >> exactly. so something needs to be done, nick. the mail on sunday, starmer orders starlink for number 10, which is good if you want to connect to the internet in a place with crumbling infrastructure. what does he know that we don't? >> well, yeah, i think we've noticed, haven't we? but yeah, keir starmer appears to bury the hatchet with elon musk bringing starlink internet into downing street. of course, this doesn't imply he's buried the hatchet, implies he needs better internet and although it would be incredibly funny if he did have another spat and must just turn it off, he'd probably have to turn it off for the whole of the uk, but i think musk is petty enough to do that. i would love to see that. but starmer needs good internet so he can post more about how the internet should be censored. that's his favourite thing to do. i mean, the speaker the other day was talking about how we need a sense of misinformation and all this. it's like they love doing that , so this this. it's like they love doing that, so this won't make any difference to starmer. he'll be like, just because he's giving me starlink, i'm still going to shut it down. that's the right thing to do. >> i'm fascinated to know how we've got this information, >> oh, they were seen carrying in like it's massive.

>> have you seen it, chris? the boxes are massive. >> it's like when the openreach guy turns up, you've just spot you spot the van and get it. you know, i want to know what internet they had before that was so bad they had to spend the money on satellite internet rather than, you know, it's talktalk isn't it. let's be honest. yeah. >> in central london. brilliant. >> in central london. brilliant. >> according to according cummings, like the whole of number 10 and the whole sort of government apparatus is just like windows 95 stuff. apparently. it'sjust like windows 95 stuff. apparently. it's just ms—dos like horrific. and you can totally picture it, can't you, boris? just tapping away on some windows 95 brick chuckie egg. >> yeah, that's what it would be. cressida, the sunday telegraph and an art gallery is to stop owning indigenous art. but is the tate modern ? so it's but is the tate modern? so it's like drawings by three year olds. oh, i've knocked over a flowerpot. it's art now. >> steve tate, modern director, says gallery will continue to acquire indigenous art. so this is karen hinsberg, who's the new director or the director. and she says that the tate modern will explore different ways of collecting indigenous art. she said one of one of britain's

most popular museums cannot have the same classical ownership structure of some of these artworks as when they belong to their community. what's classical ownership? does she mean ownership? >> oh, that. yeah, that one. >> oh, that. yeah, that one. >> so she starts talking about having pieces of art on long term loans. i thought that's how galleries worked. anyway, i'm showing my ignorance , yeah. i'm showing my ignorance, yeah. i'm not really clear what the difference is . difference is. >> well, i hate to say it, steve, but i'm looking forward to the anglo—saxon installation . to the anglo—saxon installation. because if you notice with indigenous you, everyone is indigenous you, everyone is indigenous except people of europe. have you noticed that? is that too controversial for you?ifs is that too controversial for you? it's like, oh, look at the, you? it's like, oh, look at the, you know, brilliant tribe from wherever. but then everyone's like, it's horrible. if you suggest that english people have any kind of culture, you immediately a big far right thug. >> but then someone points out, actually it's only the welsh who have actual indigenous culture. >> yeah, they're allowed it weirdly, aren't they? because they're really long words. and you see, the other day they were trying to keep english people out of their council houses and just, just have welsh language only. >> but also they're the english

people who just got shoved into wales by all the invading forces , wales by all the invading forces, either the vikings or the romans. the only true people who were in england were like mind. their own business got shoved into wales. it was a long while ago. >> i want this all to be about king alfred and stuff like that. this would be so cool. >> that's why you ain't going to get in the tate modern though, are you? >> get knocked over or any of the art world. >> now that's art. >> now that's art. >> nick. the eye migrants, they don't integrate, they don't learn the language and they use the country's healthcare. but, steve, aren't you worried about being cancelled for saying that? tell us the story, nick. >> finally, we agree on something . steve. so it's something. steve. so it's british. pensioners in spain could be forced to return for care in old age, experts say. so i see what you've done with the clever, clever link. and this is old people there in spain, but there's not enough people to look after them and they can't speak the language, so there's problems with that. so, bizarrely, you might have to come home from spain to receive your care from an immigrant. probably. so it's . yeah, it's as probably. so it's. yeah, it's as insane as it could be, really. it's very 2024. >> i'm surprised this was in the

i actually because the first thing you think is, well, spain should pay for should pay for interpreters at the spanish taxpayers. you know, i'm surprised that they would bring this to our attention. >> but it is the, the hated versus the not hated. that's almost the hidden message in my little piece at the top about which kind of migrant migrants you can attack. >> i mean, there's no contradiction for me, steve, because i say no one should go anywhere like japan doesn't want anyone going in there, and i respect that. so i think, no, just no one go anywhere for ages. >> wouldn't even take someone to karl marx's tomb, would. >> you know, i love the fact that other people hate us. it's just. i think it's just totally fair. keep countries separate. is this. i think this is reasonable. what i'm saying keep diversity across the land. you're just looking at me like this is insane. >> well, i suppose look, i'm saying we shouldn't go and use spanish resources because i respect the spanish too. >> darn much. >> darn much. >> well, you should possibly learn the language. >> yes. >> yes. >> i mean, it's a phrase that's used an awful lot . and i think used an awful lot. and i think if i almost understand why, if you move to a place that speaks english, it's a tricky one. every verb is irregular. it's an

absolute nightmare. you're conjugating left, right and centre spanish. meanwhile, easy. >> la cabeza . >> la cabeza. >> la cabeza. >> see, you'd say that you pronounce your visa. >> you would have a headache if you're old and it's hot in spain, i'd be sorted. >> that's all. you need is expect that from you. yeah. oh, yeah. >> many, many. i'm a dark horse anyway. >> all right. just the final section to go up next. trump's debate ready? the church is party ready. and how alcohol affect your sex life? cleans my hands after get

next. so welcome back to headliners cressida. the sunday telegraph. how does drinking impact your sex life? makes me foolishly believe i might have one. >> very nice. what? drinking too much beer does to your sex life. you'll be shocked to hear it's not that good for it. so a new report they've done a report on this has found that football fans believe matchday drinking culture is negatively affecting their sex lives. and this guy

starts talking about how he used to drink too much in the past, and then he says, what woman or man wants to hit the sack with a bleary eyed , incoherent dope bleary eyed, incoherent dope who's just come home from the match with a belly full of stella artois? nobody, i think it's fair to say, isn't it? and this article has a lot of people describing going to the pub at sort of 11 am. for a breakfast pint, going to the football, carrying on drinking, then going to the pub for a few hours afterwards, and then coming home to their partners and this one particular man says that in the past he thought that was quite romantic, because he'd pick up a bottle of wine on the way home and a picture of mark's tomb. >> yeah, yeah, pure corbyn, >> yeah, yeah, pure corbyn, >> yeah. it's not like the old shakespeare quote, isn't it? about drink, of course. is increasing the desire, but taking away the performance, that's one problem. but the problem is with english people, they would never speak to each other without drinking a huge amount. this is my worry about zoomers. they're not drinking. so presumably the race will die out. i mean, the birth rates are

already low. i mean, don't you think? >> well, yes and no. but the problem is that if you have too much to drink, you as a man, you can't do it anyway. >> i know that's. yes. >> i know that's. yes. >> they can't. there's a balance. there's a balance. exactly. and i think, i think going to an entire football match and spending the day out getting drunk first, i think that might be. yeah, a bit too much. >> i feel that's a different kind of drinking, isn't it? the football match drinking is like you've committed to, like that's what you're doing. you're more looking for a fight after, for example , which also helps when example, which also helps when you've had a few drinks. not not with the coordination, but with the willingness to do it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> don't fight people. >> don't fight people. >> i just want to say that there's no one else annoyed by there's no one else annoyed by the fact that every appearing in a newspaper is like, oh, how doesit a newspaper is like, oh, how does it improve your sex life? you know, maybe on a day you're like, today's not about sex life. it's about enjoying something else. >> today's about watching millwall and then punching someone in the face. yeah, exactly. >> well, the reports about this , >> well, the reports about this, isn't it? >> do you know. but i think if you lit, if you genuinely live your life, that every decision your life, that every decision you made was to improve your sex life, you'd be one of those weird blokes who don't wear shoes. that's what i mean. >> that's what that guy has. you know, that guy who's really popular on twitter who talks about menswear and he just

ratios the tates and stuff like this all the time. and people always say he's always he's talking about i'm not talking about to attract someone. i'm talking about what aesthetically works in clothes. so it's a slight digression, but it's based on what you were saying, that not everything is about that. some things about wearing whatever clothes you want to wear, drinking loads of pints because you want to , going to because you want to, going to karl marx's tomb, working in an allotment . we just do these allotment. we just do these things. we want to. it's all about you ladies. yeah men like jeremy corbyn. >> nick the mail on sunday. typical donald trump is going to debate kamala harris and he's already mainly thinking about her box. >> it's trump's bizarre request ahead of debate showdown with kamala harris next week. and trump is fuming that she's going to use an artificial way of making herself look taller. and he's like, this is cheating because he's six foot three. he wants to use every advantage. of course, he's always talking about that. he's like, hey, i got the height. i didn't get the hair. he always says, but hey, i got the height. so he's kind of weird when he talks about how he got the height. he got the height. she's five four. he's six foot three. he's saying you

can't use lifts because that changes the whole thing. then again, there was a whole american president who was in a wheelchair and that was kind of hidden. right? so these things have been done before. >> also, i'm not sure a woman wants to be six foot three. i mean, nothing wrong if you are, but is that an advantage? i don't know how that would come across for her. >> yes, it depends. it can be. when you're in a trans person, in prison. but yeah, i don't know where that came from, but it's . yeah. why does she want to it's. yeah. why does she want to be taller than trump? i don't understand it. he just wants the debate to be fair because it's always it's always they find ways to rig it against trump, you see. >> but isn't it in the article they say that surveys say it's often the taller person on stage. looks like they've won the debate, regardless of what's said. i think that's what he's thinking about it. >> well fair enough. yeah, that's a good that's a good point. but i wonder i mean, we're always talking about who are women going to vote for that gets talked about a lot. and don't don't you think her being sort of petite and looking vulnerable might have some advantages? >> the main disadvantage is going to be everything she says and everything she thinks and all her views and lack of views. don't you think that's going to be the main issue that she doesn't have any policies or thoughts? >> i'm sure they've they've given her some by now, aren't

they? >> they'll give us a few things to say. >> rebranded. it's basically it's been a, you know, a makeover. that's the phrase, isn't it, that modern phrase which has been around for like ten years, they've given her a political makeover since being vp. >> what i know is how long will she be allowed to laugh for at once? will there be a limit? because sometimes they limit things to a minute on these debates, when she starts laughing at her own comment, that wasn't funny. will they limit that to about 30s? because she can laugh, tweet him? >> he might. >> he might. >> she can laugh for up to a minute unaided. >> the music will just suddenly start playing in and that's the hint to stop laughing. laughing? yeah cressida. the sunday telegraph parties in cathedrals. well, i presume they're already licensed to hand out wine at least. >> ibiza themed gig in peterborough cathedral triggers criticism. of course it does. so all souls day party planners want to have this is. this is like another rave in the nave. so there's always this problem. cathedrals are very, very expensive to maintain. what should we do? let's have a concert. but this isn't the type of concert that you would really

expect to find in a religious building. it says tickets have gone on sale at £39 for the event. on the 2nd of november, which promises a night of ibiza classics which could mean in a kind of stripped down instrumental kind of way. but i don't think that's what's going to happen. i think it's going to be a lot of fun. yeah, it's borscht and people like nick don't like this. >> i hate it. i would rather all the cathedrals just collapse because that would be a perfect symbol of the decay that this represents. i mean, either way, it's complete social collapse. whether you have an ibiza themed thing in a cathedral or whether it literally just collapses, it's just disgusting. it's like churches having these silent discos or when they sell, they try and sell churches to mosques. we had a story the other day and it was blocked. remember, we can't keep desecrating churches like this, but it is just it's more of a sign that it's all over anyway rather than the cause, i suppose.i rather than the cause, i suppose. i mean, they're saying their electricity bill has gone up 180,000. how can we pay for it? and that's true. i mean, think about think about the society that built all these cathedrals . imagine. now look at cathedrals. imagine. now look at the stuff we build now. just awful new build rubbish for

migrants to live in. but we're not allowed to find out how much it costs. actually, their houses are nice, but that's why we're not allowed to find out how much it costs. you see that story? the other night? yeah. >> they don't have a phone party in there, though, do they? >> but look at what we make now imagine. imagine trying to build a cathedral now we can't. all we can do is host hedonistic raves in them . in them. >> what about would you like it if you found that this got people into the church, that they had such a lovely time and found god? >> i mean, come for the rave, stay for jesus. >> we've got like 40s to try and get through this one. there's a book on how you can upset men. i'm sure there's one about how you upset women. available in 27 volumes. >> there's loads about how upset men revealed the 100 phrases that can destroy the male ego. steve, destroy it, and some guy called kyle. prue has written this book. apparently. i like your blouse. is one of them. what does that mean? of course that's going to annoy a man. i don't understand this at all. you remind me of james corden. well, fair enough. that's the one that hurts. that fair enough. you could just mean you were really talented and rich. but it doesn't mean that, does it? it means you're overweight

and annoying. what did you think to this? i've got nothing. you'd be such a good frodo. frodo is a great man. he brings the ring all that distance. despite the personal sacrifice. >> i mean, the blouse one. it depends who you're saying it to, doesn't it? i think our dear friend bruce, we say that all the time. he loves to talk about his blouse. >> well, we just about reached the end of the show, so let's take another quick look at sunday's front pages. the sunday telegraph bbc has breached rules 1500 times over gaza war. the mail on sunday warning over multiple tax raids by reeves. sunday times, 721 children in rogue surgeon investigation, the sunday express says winter fuel storm is labour's poll tax and the sunday mirror oasis tour to go global. and finally, the daily star. boy get your round in pinocchio . those are your in pinocchio. those are your front pages. well, that's all we've got time for. thank you to my guests cressida wetton and nick dixon. cresta will be hosting tomorrow night at 11 pm. with paul cox and lewis schaffer. and if you're watching at 5 am, stay tuned. breakfast on the way. next, have a good
