slash alerts. >> hello and welcome to headliners, your first look at wednesday's top stories with three comedians me, your host simon evans and with me tonight after just being released from prison, we have a sakia to thank for steve. no good nick allen and leo killer curse. so how doesit and leo killer curse. so how does it feel , gentlemen? does it feel, gentlemen? >> hope that's what gets you in the end. i'm like brooks from shawshank. i'm not going to last out here. >> you're not going to be. you're an institutionalised. i saw you looking lingeringly at the porridge earlier on the canteen menu. you, on the other hand, you're like norman stanley fletcher. it's an occupational hazard, isn't it? that's right. yeah. >> i'm a lifelong labour voter. now, emily, let us all out. >> it's like the southern border, isn't it? basically. it couldn't be more cynical. anyway, let's have a look at the front pages. we have the daily mail . who voted for all of this? mail. who voted for all of this? i assume that that is the prisons or possibly the fuel bills. guardian pm faces calls

to aid poorest as winter fuel cut approved and a picture of vincent van gogh. there mirror handin vincent van gogh. there mirror hand in your phone's bebe. staff were told to hand over their phonesin were told to hand over their phones in the strictly come dancing bullying probe. the i have starmer and reeves to push ahead with cuts after facing down rebel mps. the telegraph president poised to lift ukraine missile ban. i don't think he could lift his own fork. and finally, daily star , mr and mrs. finally, daily star, mr and mrs. smithy wedding of the year is on. but will nasa give us a happy ending we crave? well, those were your front pages . so those were your front pages. so let's have a closer look at some of those front pages. we'll start with wednesday's guardian , steve. >> the guardian goes with pm, faces calls to aid poorest as

winter fuel cut approved. it's worth noting this is the guts of the guardian now. not in favour of this. cut to the winter fuel allowance. carol vorderman was on the news being all angry about it. this i know they always say the time to do something unpopular is straight after an election, but how unpopular do you need to go here? stop testing the theory. so yeah, dozens of labour mps refuse to back. i take some of their argument that some of them made about the idea that if you vote against, you could lose the whip, and later on, you might want to be part of a vote for an issue that's close to your heart. rosie duffield was making that point, but it is. it's bad optics, at the very least. like, as soon as some people die in the winter every year because it's cold, as soon as someone doesit it's cold, as soon as someone does it this year, front page killer starmer, you know, they've taken the ownership of they've taken the ownership of the deaths that will happen. why would you make this the thing that you own? >> it is it. do you think, beginning to look as if all these chickens were about to come home to roost? and this is why rishi sunak called a surprisingly early election? because i don't know whether this has had to happen quite so urgently. no, i think, i think

rishi. >> rishi had plans to cut the civil service. he was going to slash, i think, 66,000 civil service jobs that were extra civil service jobs that were taken on during lockdown that we clearly don't need any more. but keir starmer is keeping on. why is he keeping those cushy jobs? there are going to be a burden on the public purse for decades to come, with pension liabilities and all that , or liabilities and all that, or cutting net zero or cutting, you know, something like that is because keir starmer wants to have this huge, cumbersome, autocratic communist government that does everything for people. so he'll he'll do anything. he'll let old people starve in the street . he'll, you know, the street. he'll, you know, he'll free people from prisons. he'll do whatever it takes to have this big government. >> i mean, it does appear that you're correct, but surely that that sort of government would also want to, like, make a socialist handout for the fuel bills as well. no. or is it because they regard pensioners as sitting in, you know, properties worth millions? and it's a kind of it's like a class war pensioners voted tory for

too many years and now now labour hate them. but york has become a full nelson like socialist. >> in terms of socialism, you should presume that the poorer pensioners are the ones that are on that cusp. you're about to hit. they could be convinced to vote for you. so it is a stupid it's a stupid move. the optics are bad. everything's bad about this. what would have been a nice move is, you know, all of those people who did a tweet and they were on their way to prison because of that. release them straight away. they would have learnt their lesson. they would be like, oh, no, i nearly went to prison for the tweet and then you'd have freed up like 500 spaces straight away. >> you could at least ask all the people who've come out of jail to go and live with some pensioners and just body heat just for the body heat, and maybe cuddle them a bit, and then also maybe sort of, i don't know, power, some kind of treadmill or something. >> i think that's why these pensioners were doing tweets that are deemed grossly offensive, even though they're not offensive at all. i think they were doing it to get into jail and get a warm cell. >> there are worse places to be for a 78 year old man these days, moving to on the times, leo. >> so the times lead with kyiv

to get go ahead to strike deep into russia. so the us could okay a cruise. cruise missile attacks within weeks. this is. this is attacks with britain's storm shadow missiles, which we're okay with with ukraine using strikes at military targets in russia. but because we use american parts and the missiles, we've got to get the okay from from america as well. and i think some of ukraine's recent actions, like the invasion, the incursion into kursk, which has now become an occupation, they're occupying russian land and quite, quite 1000mi2, roughly , that never 1000mi2, roughly, that never even happened to germany in the first world war. yeah, yeah, it's pretty it's pretty dramatic. and i think that was a test of russia's red lines. you know, there have been so many red lines crossed and ukraine just turns around and says, look, they're not doing it. they're just doing what they're doing. they're not going to fire a nuke at, you know, washington or whatever, and also you know, ukraine has got well, the trouble with the storm, storm shadow cruise missile is there's not that many of them. so if the us would allow ukraine to use the atacms and various other

missiles that it provides ukraine, that would be a real game changer. i'm not sure if the storm shadow on its own will do much, and it really needs to. you know, we need to do something because ukraine is running out of men. >> but storm shadow, i mean, apart from sounding like a hybnd apart from sounding like a hybrid rolls—royce or possibly an x—man sidekick, it's does it doesit an x—man sidekick, it's does it does it have a specific payload? because because a lot of these the technology is the delivery system, right. >> well, the atacms can carry various payloads. they can carry cluster munitions. you can you can put whatever you want on it. you know what i mean? you could put a 3d printed, i've seen drones with sex toys on them just to taunt the russian tanks. >> i noticed a lot of, like, odd drone footage lately with people, like, trying to grab them or hit them with pitchforks or something. yeah it's just like the technology they used to fight the germans in world war two. so you're not that bothered about the possibility of a tactical nuke being used on on kyiv in response by the russians? >> i don't think they do that because that would be game over. i mean, that would really be game over. i think nato would.

then you know, because that would be seen as an attack on nato because of the fallout. so i think that that would be the that would be instant regime change in russia. >> anything on that, steve? >> anything on that, steve? >> just that it would be great if the give us a couple of years and if somehow ukraine takes oven and if somehow ukraine takes over, russia would be hilarious like, you know, mess around and find out this is what should happen. you invade another nation. it'd be great if they take over the whole deal, and they need to do it quickly before muslims take over russia. >> so well, as putin said, russia originated in kyiv, right? that's part of his argument. so it looks like it might. russia 2.0 might originate as well. we move on to, a personal hate figure of mine, jeremy kyle, who has been probably rightly acquitted. >> yes. well, so this is the, the coroner saying the suicide was not caused by the show. there were details of the last few days about the messages sent by the staff. some of them felt rather uncaring, saying , this rather uncaring, saying, this quy's rather uncaring, saying, this guy's talked about wanting to kill himself. but the upshot is the direct cause was not the show. and then this story is about jeremy kyle saying it took about jeremy kyle saying it took a huge toll on me. i don't know, read the room. it feels like the

wrong time to be like, bless. maybe you should have someone shouting nasty judgemental hosts. >> i feel sorry for. yeah, yeah. >> i feel sorry for. yeah, yeah. >> exactly that. i mean, you're not that bad simon. >> is he not been on talk or something? he's on another channel now, isn't he? but. but having said that, talk is no longer an actual tv station. is it? yeah. so. so maybe i do feel sorry for him. can i just say, by the way, as well, we've lost the image of it now. but metro, i mean, how tacky is that? what is that? their whole front page is that? their whole front page is an ad. >> it's like a pillow or something. >> it's what? it's a flexible sim plan. i mean, i probably even draw attention to it, but they've they've redesigned the actual front page. yeah. i'm not sure that qualifies as a newspaper anymore. i don't think it is. finally, the daily mirror. please leo, the daily mirror. please leo, the daily mirror have exclusive strictly shock hand in your phones cruise messages examined as bbc probes bullying and cover up claims. >> so bbc staff were told to hand over their phones in the strictly come dancing bullying probe. their messages are to be scoured as part of a request by amanda abington's team after she

accused pro dancer giovanni pernice of bullying . he denies pernice of bullying. he denies the actress's claims. it's like, i don't know, i just feel like if you're doing it, if you're an italian dancer, you're passionate. dancing is your life. obviously you're going to be quite robust in your teaching methods, you know what i mean? if you want to. she should have got a job with haringey council and then everybody would be going through the proper health and safety and ticking the boxes and safety and ticking the boxes and making sure we respect your pronouns. it's like, what's she even doing on strictly come dancing? do you want to learn to dance? you've got feet like hooves, amanda, do you want to learn to dance or do you want to make an all scots version of whiplash? >> no jazz drumming thing you're dragging. i think you could really carry that off. i agree with you, though. that's the drama of the show, isn't it, people? are they going to snap or are they going to respond? yeah, at first they feel browbeaten and then they kind of rally and they come good. >> do you want to achieve greatness? >> yes, exactly. but you presume or at least adequacy. >> it's either you presume it's the celebs who might break or not. you don't, you don't, you don't think the pros can't handle it and then start. i know they're like kick two, three, four is a phrase they use, but

they don't actually mean kick. it's confusing for them. >> that's it for part one. join us after the break where we'll have all the most miserable second order effects of the mass release of violent criminals onto our streets. still no word

and welcome back to headliners, your first look at wednesday's newspapers. i'm simon evans with me tonight from two opposite ends of one of the spectrums. we won't say which one. stephen allen and neo curse. now we kick off with the telegraph and labour have a toxic, underachieving criminal voter base and they've also just released some prisoners. >> i am an excellent driver, in case that was the inference, i'm a lifelong labour voter now. prisoners praise starmer after early release. i mean, the one inmate says it was a good idea introducing the scheme on one hand, of course they would. you

know, someone releases you from prison other than the people who are homeless. they're going to be in favour of this. they're getting home a bit early. if you if you're shocked by that, you don't understand people. but the way the telegraph writes this, they are implying a few things. there's a bit of poop stirring going on here, isn't it? like, what are you saying? like i bet labour only did this to get more voters, which is ridiculous. no one's going to do this to get more voters. the greatest distance between now and an election, a hugely unpopular other than for the handful of criminals who, let's be brutally honest, may have voted labour anyway. that shouldn't be that controversial to say, like , controversial to say, like, statistically, i bet they don't vote. >> yeah, and i know it's always a really like a contentious issue that people argue about a lot. i think it was one of the ones that they tried to use on kamala harris as a gotcha. you're in favour of allowing convicts to vote. i mean, i just don't think they bother . convicts to vote. i mean, i just don't think they bother. yeah. well organised. part of this is people have a misapprehension about criminals that they're like kind of evil geniuses. they're usually people who are just like, struggling. >> yeah. there's a guy who's a convicted drug dealer, said he'll be a lifelong labour

voter. keep using the drugs. it won't be that long. yeah. >> also, yeah, by 2029, he's probably going to be back in jail. well this is the thing, isn't it? >> they're recidivist anyway. 90% of the time. there's a lot of argument. there's i think it's supposed to be four main reasons that you lock people up and there's like retribution, rehabilitation, punishment. you know , the sense of like, justice know, the sense of like, justice and then keeping them off the streets. and of those four, keeping them off the streets is the only one, the only aspect that really works. the other three are all just illusory. >> and it's interesting that this is being done to make space for like, there's an 81 year old who, you know, farted at a police horse or whatever. there's an 11 year old who shouted at a dog, you know, there's made off with a hot dog, a sausage roll. yeah, there's some there's somebody else who, who up in sellafield, worker who was sent to jail for ten weeks for sharing these memes that were deemed grossly offensive by a judge. so they're not like , a judge. so they're not like, actually criminal. they're just grossly offensive. and i looked at them. they weren't they didn't offend me. and i think if you're going to get offended by stuff, they basically said,

there's going to be more asian men in this town. and, you know , men in this town. and, you know, demographics wise, that was just a fact. so i don't see why it's offensive for him to point it out in cartoon form. >> yeah. i do wonder whether some of the people who because this isn't going to solve anything overnight, obviously we all know this is going to get right up to the level again very soon. do you see a second wave of criminals being released? who are the ones who posted memes dunng are the ones who posted memes during the riots and so on, do you think? >> i think there could be a lot of appeals because i think a lot of appeals because i think a lot of people were denied legal representation or not denied legal representation, but they were told, you know, if you plead guilty, you know, you'll you'll be home, you're going to be held on remand anyway. so you might as well plead guilty, because by the time you get to the end of it, you'd be home anyway. and then they get a three year sentence. so i think a lot of people were sort of bluffing. you see the difference with ricky jones, the labour councillor who was filmed, you know, screaming for people's throats to be cut. he pleaded not guilty. and it would be interesting to see what sort of sentence he gets, because that was far more vicious than a lot

of these crimes. >> it was inflammatory as well. it was physically in front of a crowd. has that woman councillor who did post? they're really quite disobliging remark about hotels. has she been sentenced yet ? the councillor's wife yet? the councillor's wife sorry, no, but her baby had actually died in a case of malpractice at the hands of, a foreign doctor who i think had . foreign doctor who i think had. >> i don't know if he'd misrepresented. no, he hadn't misrepresented. no, he hadn't misrepresented his qualifications. but, you know , i qualifications. but, you know, i think that's quite a mitigating. that's got to be quite a mitigating circumstance. >> in her case, the bit that no one ever seems to mention, which is my favourite bit in the tweet. she also says, like, burn the thing down for all i care and the politicians too. it's what her husband does for a living. yeah i mean, that's a great way to slight your husband. get rid of him for all i care. he does nothing around the house. >> frosty night in bed? yeah on to the express now, leo. labour are experiencing a day of shame. did the corbyn abbott home video leak again, i wonder? >> so why aren't they being deported? ministers face fury over day of shame . prison over day of shame. prison crisis. this is justice

secretary shabana mahmood, who's facing growing calls to end the prison overcrowding crisis by deporting thousands of foreign criminals blocking up space in the jails. they're related to the jails. they're related to the last story. so she revealed that some of the 1700 convicts being released by keir starmer and the labour party will end up in taxpayer funded hotels because they will be homeless. and experts have warned it's almost a dead certainty that some of them will commit more offences. i mean, it is a dead certainty. i'd be amazed if they hadnt certainty. i'd be amazed if they hadn't committed. they've committed offences already. >> 48 hours. >> 48 hours. >> yeah, one of those empty prosecco bottles and richard tice , the reform uk's deputy tice, the reform uk's deputy leader, has urged ministers to save billions and deport 10,000 foreign crooks who are locked up in british jails. and why aren't we doing that? why aren't we clearing space by deporting criminals? don't even deport them to the right country. just make it a lucky dip thing. just pick a random place on google earth or whatever. >> flight has got seats vacant. >> flight has got seats vacant. >> yeah, the pushback. >> yeah, the pushback. >> and this is not an argument, i believe, but the pushback is that these could be going back

to countries where we do not have an agreement that says these people would be in prison there. so it would be you've committed a crime over here, and we'll send you back to be free. well, if you're the victim of that crime, you might be. wait a minute. i want them to serve 25 years for it. but i would still think you're better off having a situation where you don't release other prisoners. >> they can't come back straight back over again for that period of time. i mean, to all intents and purposes, abroad is a prison, isn't it? by comparison, used to be one very special place. >> we could open that up again. >> we could open that up again. >> the independent, steve moore, labour news. but it's not all crime. they're looking at minimum salary to get a visa though. if you top that up with a bit of armed robbery, obviously that can help. >> labour orders review of planned 38,700 minimum salary to bnng planned 38,700 minimum salary to bring a partner to the uk. labour has ordered a review. so i mean we could say it might increase even. i can't do that much denial, but i tried so previously it went from 18 grand to 29, then it was scheduled to go from 35 to 38. it's worth noting that 34,963 is the median

salary , so if it goes above it, salary, so if it goes above it, it means these people are definitely not bringing down the average earnings of the uk. no, it's mathematically this is the job that they have secured before. >> they come. that's the point. yeah. >> or that you live here if you if you want to marry. >> so there are websites you can so you just bring a you bring a spouse over on that on that basis. yeah. >> and less than that you couldn't. >> is that when you say it's the isuppose >> is that when you say it's the i suppose this is like nitpicking. but when you say it's the median salary in this country, is it the median salary for somebody who's married? because obviously a lot of people no, no, not the one that i googled. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so that's a slightly different figure then probably isn't it a little bit more. >> it will be. >> it will be. >> but it would to try and to try and support two people on a salary is obviously it's not double, but it's. yeah. >> still it doesn't have the effect of lowering the median average. >> no fair enough. >> no fair enough. >> and i think in the old days the people who came to britain, i mean obviously a lot of people come to britain who are great and they contribute and integrate and are an asset to, to the uk. but in the old days, we overall had a eamonn and so forth, had a yeah. we overall we

overall had a better quality. it wasn't just anybody who could get on a dinghy and get here, you know what i mean? we had it was more, you know, middle class for want of a better word. and people who really wanted to be here and felt patriotic and shared british values, people from the west indies, people from the west indies, people from india as well. and i think, you know, now, labour just want you know, now, labourjust want everybody to come here. the issue i've got with keeping this high is it will push more people towards just abusing the asylum system to , to get into, into the system to, to get into, into the uk. but yeah, i think we've got to do something. yeah. improve it. >> guardian now leo gearing up for the us presidential debate between the so—called biggest threat to democracy in our lifetime and donald trump . lifetime and donald trump. >> yeah. so harris and trump, that's kamala harris and donald trump make final preparations for crucial debate. it was the debate that was never meant to happen, according to the guardian. yeah, because trump was supposed to be assassinated by the deep state. but yeah , by the deep state. but yeah, it's interesting. nobody's really seen kamala like she puts out videos and stuff where she's

talking, but they're all very scripted and stuff. she's done one interview, a very softball interview since, since announcing that she's she's running for president. and that was with i think she was with a running mate at the same time. so it wasn't on her own. >> i mean, those interviews are quite commonplace, apparently, where they sit next to the running mate. yeah. i'm slightly alarmed that she's got quite a lot of hair, and it would be quite easy for her to have an earpiece in that was feeding her all the lines as well. i suppose they check on that, right? >> i'm not sure, because i mean, who's who's hosting this. is it cnn or something? abc. so they're left leaning like every single other media outlet. i'll tell you what though, is one thing i do find interesting is that they have agreed. >> and this was there was some argy bargy, but they have agreed that their mics will be muted while the other person is talking, and this will probably be of benefit to trump, who would otherwise interrupt her all the time. >> this is the i mean, kamala harris is strange because she's terrible in policy and what she's done in office, but her strength is that she winds up trump. she's she's made this sort of it's a really idiotic, you know, asinine campaign about like, oh , he's creepy, but it like, oh, he's creepy, but it really works. and trump doesn't know how to deal with it. and

all the all the wine, the cat women are, are, you know, are saying we're going to vote for kamala because we wanted to be in the mean girls. >> they're obviously they are certainly all going to vote for kamala, all unmarried women will. but the question is, how many of them will vote at all? that's there's nobody's like sitting on the fence at this point. you can't possibly have not chosen which one you feel more positive about. >> those single cat women have got nothing else to do, simon. surely they can vote. if ever there is a demographic you could get out of how angry they'll be. >> anyway, we'll be covering that debate live at 2 am. so if you are watching this show at 5 am, full analysis will be a.m, full analysis will be available from 6 am. in breakfast. but if you're watching us live, then, well, basically have a little nap at two from midnight till two and back on. finally, in this section, steve, we have the times and the unthinkable. mel stride is out . before i had even stride is out. before i had even established what sex mel stride is bupa badenoch mel stride knocked out of tory leadership race. >> you've got to feel sorry for him though. it's a he. by the

way, i've not checked under the hood. looks from a distance to be a he. >> he was the spice girl. >> he was the spice girl. >> he was the spice girl. >> he was the one. yeah, he was the one who was, trotted out every single time there was a media round. he's loyal. he'd turn up and defend the government policy half an hour before the pm does a u—turn on it. and that's the level of taint that actually sticks with you. >> so we're still knocking out these kind of auto runs, but we're down now. everyone thinks badenoch and kendrick are the main two, right? cleverly in third and it tends to and tugendhat in there as well. >> so it tends to be when it gets down to the final stage. this is stretched out like an x factor thing isn't it. but eventually november it will be the party membership who vote and they are not a representative representative demographic of the uk, so they always tend to pick the more right leaning of the two ones. they proffered. >> they picked truss, right. >> they picked truss, right. >> yeah, yeah. and i mean i've not checked to see how that turned out, but, listen, it was working well for me. >> it's still very sore about that. >> but yeah, it's not necessarily the best move when at some point you're going to ask the nation to vote for this

person. yeah, yeah. >> no , i agree with all that. i >> no, i agree with all that. i mean, i think jenrick is, to be honest, probably the best. i know a lot of people have said, oh, the conservatives have got to tack back towards the centre andifs to tack back towards the centre and it's like, no, that's, that's actually a terrible idea. i think the country is much more right wing than the chattering classes that write for the times and the guardian realise. >> well, it certainly is on the issues that what right wing has become about now, which is largely about immigration. and so on, isn't it. we know that brexit was you know, the british people demonstrated they were to the right of the tory party in parliament. yeah, yeah, yeah. and all of the i've lost my earpiece, all of the, all of the lost votes for the tory went to reform or to people just so disgusted they wouldn't vote for them this time. yeah. and i think people in javier milei is showing the success of small government and libertarian policies. >> so we need more of that. >> so we need more of that. >> that's it for part two. join us after the break for your daily dose of hate crimes, layabouts and other signs of i love autumn. make mine a pumpkin latte. i'll

and welcome back to headliners. so we jump back in with the daily mail. leo met pieces being wet and pc. yes. >> so the police are recording trivial incidents as hate crimes. a watchdog has found, because officers are so worried about being criticised on controversial issues such as race and gender. so this chief inspector of constabulary, andy cook, says matters such as playground taunts were being recorded as hate crimes because the forces are desperate to sort of appear impartial. basically, you can sort of cover yourself, you can sort of cover yourself, you can sort of cover yourself, you can cover your bottom by you know, if you tick it as a hate crime, then nobody's going to come at you and say, why didn't you record this as a hate crime? you're a racist. and then, you know, you're never going to get called anything. but some of these examples and one instance, somebody with difficulty walking who complained about being asked why they weren't using a wheelchair resulted in a public

order offence being recorded. no. yeah. it gets worse. and in another case, a ten year old child who uttered a racist insuh child who uttered a racist insult at school was incorrectly recorded as a racially aggravated public order crime. another force recorded. and when they say racist insult, probably wasn't a racist. we've seen people who like little kids, five year olds asked to describe their friend and they say, oh , their friend and they say, oh, he's chocolate. and which is they're being nice. >> yeah, i remember that was a few days ago, wasn't it? that was literally an example. he was literally asked to describe his skin colour. yeah. and he chose chocolate, which is probably the single nicest way you could describe something brown and another force recorded an an incident where a man reported other passengers on a bus and giving him funny looks. >> i mean, this is this is what the 9:00 news and also the police will turn up. the police will turn up in ten minutes. yeah. and if you know, there's some sort of fear of a, you know, hate crime or racism or something like that, if there's a if there's an actual crime. oh, have you been have you been beaten to the ground? your car. my beaten to the ground? your car. my car was broken into all my gear was nicked. the police

couldn't care less. they were. they were almost laughing at the fact that i expected them to turn up and dust for prints. >> like poirot, we've created very bad incentives , i guess. very bad incentives, i guess. >> well, we've created the incentive for you to be all racist when you think you've been robbed , because then they been robbed, because then they will definitely turn up. >> that was that old phrase , >> that was that old phrase, isn't it? if you're being attacked or even raped , you attacked or even raped, you shouldn't shout rape or attack. you shout fire. well, i was wondering what you were going to say. no, we were all wondering which ones have got to say, well, if you say chocolate, we'll get away with it. >> but i'm saying now the new version is god, cut the feed . version is god, cut the feed. >> it's a high risk strategy, but you don't want to get raped. the times now, steve, you don't know that thousands are going straight from university into long term sickness. back in my day, we just called it hangoven >> yeah, this is a brilliant story though, so thousands go straight from university to long term sickness. if you are fit enough to study, surely you could work. if your job involved a bit of typing like studying,

or if you're too ill to do a full week's worth of work, you were probably doing a history degree, and i remember them at university reading week. my bets. it's holidays. what it was. i knew one bloke was doing a history degree. he had four hours of lectures all week. we had more than that on a friday morning in the labs. it worried me right up. but we're the only nafion me right up. but we're the only nation in europe that's got this. everyone else has got their stats have plateaued. we've seen an increase. these stats, although it's not it doesn't read like this, but this is from 2122. it's not the most up to date, but it's 63,000 people went straight from being students to being economically inactive. but there's flow back the other way when there's a net figure, which means people are going from being jobless to studying why to get that promotion in the career you don't have. so you're qualified for the job, you don't get to switch, you know, switch careers. >> but if you were can i clarify if you leave university and go straight into disability benefit, are we talking mental illness? mostly yeah. >> they say that in the first paragraph. mental health

problems. so we've basically given an opportunity. anybody can go you can't fake a broken leg, but you can fake, you know, being depressed in fact, probably quite convincingly as most people are depressed. but we've just made it acceptable to , we've just made it acceptable to, you know, to part of like removing the stigma from this stuff means everybody can do it without any fear. we need to bnng without any fear. we need to bring back shame. do you remember chesterton's fence? >> are you familiar with chesterton's fence? chesterton gk. chesterton said that if there is a fence and you don't know what it was put up for , you know what it was put up for, you don't take it down until you found out what it was put up for in the first place. that's like if there's a fence in the middle of a field. i feel like stigma was one of those. yeah. you know, chesterton stigma. yeah. why is this? apparently harmless thing that people shouldn't feel ashamed of? stigmatised. >> there's lots. oh, there's lots of stuff people should be ashamed of. >> daily mail, leo. primary school children are getting caught with drugs. growing up in scotland, that would have been part of a balanced, packed lunch. now. yeah, we didn't get a packed lunch crack to school . a packed lunch crack to school. >> almost 130 children a day are

sent home from class after being caught with drugs, alcohol or cigarettes . shock figures show cigarettes. shock figures show that there was a new oasis song. but no, this is, this is a headline, with the youngest kid caught with drugs, alcohol or cigarettes, aged just five. i mean, this is terrible. 130 kids a day don't know how to not get caught. this is. we really need to be teaching kids how to hide it . it. >> five year old had, don't you? yeah. do you think? well, calpol. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it can't have been deliberate . >> it can't have been deliberate. i mean, what five year old deliberately takes drugs? he must have picked up, you know, one of his dad's probably one of the parents tucked a packet of in his back pocket or something, just to try and walk him into the ground and forgot to get him out again. yeah, yeah, yeah. >> this also, this is no punishment. is it? the idea that that you get a kid who's got some drugs and stuff and you send them home and they're going to be thinking, oh no, i was this close to learning what cosine squared theta plus sine squared theta equals. and now i guess i'll just go home with my drugs. what will i do? all day? >> i would just take the drugs, cigarettes or booze, put them in the staff common room.

nightclubs used to work onto the guardian steve. they claim the internet has replaced tv news consumption. this is absolute nonsense and i'd like to remind everyone watching this to please like and subscribe. >> smash the like. >> smash the like. >> yeah, internet replaces tv as uk's most popular news source for the first time only just though, if you look at the stats, 71% of adults consume onune stats, 71% of adults consume online news, 70% consume it from the telly. so it's interesting that it's evens, i suppose. the survey said that tv news was still seen as more trustworthy, and that makes sense . tv news and that makes sense. tv news might do things you don't like, but it tries and fails rather than the internet. you know , than the internet. you know, wrongly points out who is involved in stabbings and stuff. you don't see any of those tweeters apologising. >> there is a sort. there should be like a kind of complex ecosystem. people are probably starting to understand how much credibility to lend to different kinds of things. obviously, we've seen some discussions that have become quite controversial, that have taken place about

churchill and so on. recently, for instance, on the internet. and i think anyone who just completely trusted that conversation and that line, you know, would be foolish. but on the other hand, it's quite helpful to have that. i think that kind of level of controversy or, you know, a dissident view is expressed. but yes, tv news, as a rule, does remain more trustworthy because it's more possible that people are exposed to legal. yes, you know, sanctions otherwise. >> elon musk introduced an amazing thing on twitter community note. so then if somebody posts something that's fake news, other people can post underneath and this spatial thing and it gets flagged up on the on the tweet that this is wrong and this is why it's wrong. so i think, i think twitter is now quite a, you know, because it allows that sort of verification, that community verification , community verification, absolutely trustworthy. >> and funnily enough, if you read the comments on most youtube channels as well, you usually get quite a good corrective . that's the good corrective. that's the good thing about it. it's got self—correcting mechanisms in it . self—correcting mechanisms in it. and also there is stuff that is

absolutely bat poop , as i will absolutely bat poop, as i will say in this post—watershed show. so finally, in this section , for so finally, in this section, for the first time in recorded history, morrissey is unhappy about something . about something. >> so morrissey says he's being censored. he isn't. that's the times journalist saying that, not me. >> dan hodgkinson, his name is. >> dan hodgkinson, his name is. >> so. yeah, so he basically says he wants to speak to, to morrissey and he's spoken. morrissey and he's spoken. morrissey has spoken to the telegraph and this journalist is jealous. the interview chiefly focuses on morrissey's unreleased 2022 album bonfire of the teenagers, which takes its name from the bombing by an islamic fundamentalist of an ariana grande concert in manchester. and this album remains unreleased. the album is a victim, claims morrissey of idiot culture and the suppression of free speech. but this journalist says yet morrissey does have free speech because he can say things on twitter or whatever. and it's like, that's not the same as this album. and he also says, well, morrissey has bought back

the rights to this album so he could release it. but the thing is, it wouldn't be the same album as people who collaborated, such as miley cyrus have since withdrawn their consent for stuff to be used because they've been they've been pressure from the idiot culture that morrissey is talking about. so he's talking about, you know, cancel culture leading to the destruction of art. and that's actually happenedin art. and that's actually happened in this case. and i don't know why. well, i do know why the times is the guardian how. >> now. >> well, this particular journalist certainly is quite left leaning. and he's i mean, i looked him up . left leaning. and he's i mean, i looked him up. he's an interesting character in his own right. right. so books about random cult bands and so on, he's entitled to his opinion. it's an it's an opinion column. right essentially this piece. but it is extraordinary. the amount of hostility that is addressed towards morrissey, who is i mean, i know some people probably feel let down by him, but i don't think he's actually changed that much at all. no, not at all. >> he's always been somebody who's unafraid of saying something that would offend the establishment. and at the moment, we've got an incredibly woke left establishment. and what morrissey, what john lydon, what morrissey, what john lydon, what these iconic figures are

saying is, is offensive to the establishment. they're still they're still doing it. >> that is true. that's it for part three. in the final section, we'll have further enraging tidbits from the of weather, traffic lights and

and welcome back to the final section of headliners. we're here until midnight later tonight. gb news has live coverage of the us election debate from 2 am. and analysis on breakfast from 6 am. so whether you're watching live or at 5 am, there's something for you. after that, we jump back in. in the meantime, with daily star gen z, as they are known , star gen z, as they are known, infuriatingly, have a new set of weather lexicography. it's raining them . hallelujah. raining them. hallelujah. >> so the headline traditional british weather phrases dying out among young adults , survey out among young adults, survey finds. oh no! how will we cope if young people don't do things

exactly the same that we did? how can we carry on? a survey of 2000 adults said that only 5% of 18 to 24 year olds use the phrase brass monkeys to describe it. most people don't even know what that is anyway, do they? it's. people get all confused about it. >> it's one of those ones we talk about is it cannonballs or. yeah, yeah, yeah. >> which is why he's got balls in it. so you're like, freeze the balls off a brass monkey. you can't say it's got balls in it. but no, it's actually balls of cannonballs. yeah, but the research was commissioned by network rail. can i get, like, a delay repay for having to read this last day? >> because it's a waste of my time. >> i thought i couldn't hate them anymore. the survey said that just over half of adults believe that heavy snow is the most disruptive weather? >> you know this one? >> you know this one? >> it's a bit pearl harbour. what does that mean? one of my favourite. have you never heard that? no. it means there's a nip in the air. >> ha ha. that's what he should have said in the earlier one about. are you being raped right now, simon? >> that one was. they used to do that on only fools and horses, right? too bad, is it? nip is just short for nip. >> that's okay, isn't it? we'll find out. >> everything is bad now. that's

probably why you can't see brass monkeys. it's got balls. it's got. you know, it's because the brass. >> they were brass monkeys was a little plate that held. they weren't in the shape of a monkey, but they were a little plate that held your cannonballs. and when it was cold, the metal would contract. and so the balls would contract. and so the balls would topple over the edge of them. oh, yeah. so it really is a an actual effect of the cold. >> then they redesigned them with kevlar. >> if you are some sort of ape and it gets cold, if anything, you're sacked. contracts, right? yeah. you get closer to you, right? yeah. >> not going to come up unless you freeze very quickly. if you get some nitrogen and throw it on a monkey's james daly. >> that's why they go. all of these experiments have been outlawed. >> now, sadly, madness onto the daily mail. now with a traffic light. surely robo traffic cop is sequel. nobody needed so traffic lights that give priority to cyclists over cars are being tested at a crossing in a bid to give bike riders uninterrupted journeys. >> as if bike riders didn't have uninterrupted journeys at traffic lights. anyway i mean,

this is this is ridiculous, but it's called the toucan crossing. this is the animal they've decided on for this type of it's always a different zebras. pelicans. this is a toucan, it uses ai sensors to detect bike riders and then turns the lights red for any cars so the bike riders can go through. so these are coming down with angle grinders. this this is going to make so many people angry. so the sensors aim to promote active travel and prioritise cyclists over motor vehicles in the next step of what has been dubbed the war on motorists, the council can build an algorithm that uses this a! for that junction to , say, cyclists or junction to, say, cyclists or pedestrians, or to be prioritised at certain times like 3:00 pm when children are walking home from school. i get the children thing, but cyclists, i think, should, you know, there's no harm in them waiting. and also, if you want to cut emissions, let the cars go.the to cut emissions, let the cars go. the momentum. >> well that's true. i totally agree with you. i do think it would be sensible to have more time based , you know, regimes. time based, you know, regimes. so like for instance, all speed cameras should be switched off

at midnight and turn back on at 8 am. or 6 am. certainly the 20 mile per hour london ones could be that could be digitally altered. there's no need to be going crawling along like a milkfloat at 3 am. >> there are many cameras, not yet cameras, but the, the cycling thing just sounds like a kind of bait to make jeremy vine have a collision. >> it's a classic daily mail thing. the toucan crossings have been around for ages. it was in the highway code when i learned to drive, and that was a long while ago. this is just that. they've added a! to it, but the rest of the article never mentions that again. and just hates cyclists. >> yeah, i, we stick with daily mail. steve. we haven't got much time left, so be brief on this one. should we be using air tanks to trust our untrustworthy romantic partners? >> track me if you can. how rising number of people are using these airtags. little gps, bluetooth things are stalkers. favourite christmas present? they were originally launched to help people keep track of their valuables, and now it's just purves going like she's got a car. yeah yeah, but yeah, they say put it on, kids. great. i'm up for that because we always

use the rain dogs all that. but if anyone there's a joke online, someone says like, oh, you can keep an eye on your husband if anyone ever puts one on you, leave them. it is a red flag. your life is about to be held. >> also, i think i'd notice if i was taking a shower and there was taking a shower and there was an odd bump. >> yeah, it was the small of the back. >> people are gonna have to do that. they're going to have to go and cheat on their wives naked. they're going to have to just run down the street with you. yeah. unless they can invent one that can insert into an orifice, only have an affair inside a faraday box. >> times, please, leo, could we be fat and still healthy? we were going to get our £400 body positivity specialist to answer this one, but apparently they've died from undisclosed reasons. >> well, apparently this this says that you can be fat but fit as scientists say. so it provides hope for those who claim to be fat but fit, which is most fat people. let's be honest, scientists have found that people who exercise regularly have healthier fat than those who do not. so if you take two people who weigh the same and have the same amount of body fat, but one exercises regularly while the other does

not, the person who doesn't exercise regularly will have the visceral fat choking their organs, whereas the person who exercises will have it in the belly where it does less damage. >> yes, that is true. visceral fat is different from just belly fat. that is true. yeah, on that steve. >> no, i am one of these people. i run regularly to the cake shop so it's a double win. >> you are like false modesty, just infuriating people at home. sitting there with your lean features, i will say this. i do think that, you know, we may. i mean, we are generally very fat. not fat phobic, but fat sceptic , not fat phobic, but fat sceptic, aren't we? on this show? you can go too far. it is more important to just stay kind of nimble, right? that's the main thing , right? that's the main thing, isn't it? nimble. nimble, nimble. i think i might launch nimble. i think i might launch nimble as we spell it wrong for the app. nimble like the balloons of the 70s with that tasteless. >> but you've also got to think of the impact on other people. i've got to look at those people. >> i've got to get on. the show is nearly over. let's take another quick look at wednesday's front pages. the daily mail, who voted for all of this? guardian pm faces calls to

aid poorest as winter fuel cut is approved. the mirror hand in your phones bbc staff were told to hand over their phones in the strictly come dancing bullying probe. the eye starmer and reeves to push ahead with cuts after facing down rebel mps. the telegraph president poised to lift ukraine missile ban and finally the daily star. mr and mrs. smithy. the wedding of the yearis mrs. smithy. the wedding of the year is on. well, those were your front pages and that's it for tonight's show. thank you to my guest stephen allen and leo kearse. i'll be back tomorrow night at 11:00 pm with nick dixon and carrie marks. don't forget live coverage of the trump harris debate is on in two hours time or an hours. if you've been watching at breakfast, thanks and good night. >> that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers , sponsors of boxt boilers, sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello. good evening. welcome to your latest gb news weather update. a cold spell of weather to come through the rest of this

week. a particularly cold northerly wind will develop throughout the country overnight tonight, and that will bring with it some blustery showers as well. the air is coming from the arctic, hence why it's quite so cold. we've got low pressure up to the north and east of the uk, so that's brought some very windy weather across northeastern areas of scotland, through the rest through this afternoon that will move away to the east though overnight. and so it will turn a little bit calmer for these areas, but still quite a cold wind through much of the night and frequent showers across north and western areas. a bit more shelter further south and east. temperatures widely in the single figures, so it will be a chilly start to the day on wednesday, but frost will be limited because we do still have quite a strong breeze around and the winds will remain quite strong across northern areas of scotland. in particular. some of these showers may start to fall as snow over parts of the grampians as well, just over the highest mountains that will be the first snow we've seen in quite a few months, and some of the showers moving into northwestern areas of england. parts of northern ireland could bnng parts of northern ireland could bring some hail, possibly some lightning, lightning and

thunder. a drier start to the day, though, for more southern and eastern areas of the uk. but as we head towards lunchtime, cloud will develop further inland and some of these showers could spread into parts of more southern and central areas of england, as well as eastern areas of scotland, into the afternoon. but i think the most frequent showers will continue, particularly across northwestern england, northern areas of scotland and northern ireland, andifs scotland and northern ireland, and it's going to feel cold as well. these are the maximum temperatures. temperatures will feel closer to the single figures, though, with the strength of that northerly wind. now the chilly start to the day to come on thursday. a frost potential as well. grass and air, frost and showers will be more frequent across more northern and eastern coasts as we head into thursday afternoon, so a slightly drier day for some northwestern areas, but still some further showers to come. looks a little bit drier and warmer by friday and turning a bit warmer into the weekend as well. but by a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on

whilst the vice president claimed that trump would have given up on ukraine and takes him to task on abortion, the cuts to winter fuel payments passed in the commons. >> millions of pensioners are set to lose the benefit this year after attempts to block it failed in parliament yesterday . failed in parliament yesterday. >> this comes as labour's justice secretary reveals freed prisoners are set to be housed in taxpayer funded hotels as part of the early release scheme, and as mel stride is eliminated from the tory leadership race, support for kemi badenoch and robert jenrick surges , and where mps right to

surges, and where mps right to vote for a
