slash alerts. >> hello and welcome to headliners. i'm nick dixon, taking you through tomorrow's top stories for the next hour with the help of two comedians who don't mind being ostracised by the comedy industry. it is, of course, josh howie. there he is. and adam koumas. hello. is that about right.7 we know josh is used to it. >> yeah, i've argued with everybody. i burnt so many bridges. but you like it. you enjoy it. i love it, yeah. >> how about you, adam.7 >> how about you, adam.7 >> i've still got friends i'm quite happy to have. >> yeah, but you just don't tell them. >> you don't tell them what you know. >> a lot of them. >> a lot of them. >> where are you tonight, adam.7 >> where are you tonight, adam.7 >> oh, i'm going to go to a sex club like you. tell them something far less shameful. okay. good banter. let's, let's crack on with the front pages. so, i don't seem to have them. hang on a sec. i totally know what i'm doing. i haven't hosted for a while, guys. so the telegraph has just slightly disappeared from me. telegraph. all right. well, yeah. yeah, we've got we've got a. yeah, yeah, we've got a secrets of how

five tory mps were felled and we've got the times which has zelenskyy putin burns our cities as west delays. we've got the express read on the screen. well that's that's the eye are the eye. yeah. we've got the eyes. so surge in uk private healthcare. the express has pm. please keep promise to change cruel law. and the mirror has a tear for sven, which is obviously about sven . goran obviously about sven. goran eriksson, who sadly died. and the star has. out of order. order! no idea what that's about, but those were your seamless headlines. about, but those were your seamless headlines . so, josh, do seamless headlines. so, josh, do you want to just start with whatever we're starting with.7 >> yeah. the times. let's go to the times. zelenskyy putin burns our cities as west delays. this is with keir starmer going to america, hanging out with putin and, sorry, hanging out with

putin. what am i talking about? hanging out with biden. my brain's gone all biden. yeah, but, to try and persuade, i think the word is that starmer is a little bit more for these missiles being supplied, and biden is not. or should i say, his controllers are not. so so starmer has basically left without any announcement forthcoming. and this is on the same time that that moscow has received 200 missiles from iran, so that's not great. so obviously zelenskyy is getting desperate. i mean, that's really his job is to desperate. i mean, that's really hisjob is to go out desperate. i mean, that's really his job is to go out there and just say, i know you've given us billions , please, but sort it billions, please, but sort it out, give us a couple more billions. and that's fair enough. he's fighting for his country, i get that. >> yeah, yeah. and i'm glad we're funding it. it's. >> are you. is that psaki? >> are you. is that psaki? >> no, no, no, i guess i don't know how much of my tax actually goes. go to them directly. so, you know, it's always better than putin. i guess. i, i think there's an interesting conversation this week about the executive use of giving ukraine

and zelenskyy the power to use the storm shadow missiles, giving them executive power to basically actually hit territories inside of russia. and that seems to be a big sort of, oh. should we do it? should we not? i think we should just do it. i feel like, you know, putin's been saying like, oh, if you do anything, we're going to press the we're going to press the red big red button, and we're going to start a nuclear strike. he's been he's been saying that for ages. he's the boy who cried wolf at this point. yeah. >> he didn't invade. he didn't invade ukraine. >> yeah, a bit of a risky game, isn't it? calling putin's bluff, specifically with the nuclear stuff. >> i genuinely think we should do it, because when you think about it, like you said, josh, he's been. they've been receiving missiles, from iran. they've also also from north korea. a lot of this has been payrolled by china, by selling them oil and everything else. and he's been doing exactly that for him to sort of say, no, no, you can't. and he's been launching it into central ukraine without any sort of restrictions. so for him to sort of say that it's a bit rich. >> so no, no, i mean, as someone said, he said putin, if you want to end the war, just pull back out of ukraine. yeah, but he's not, he's got, he's got he don't

want to lose face. >> that's the problem. the male ego is a powerful you're comfortable gambling everyone in the world's life on putin bluffing basically. and not just not not not just me. some some of the most senior members of within the british sort of military, one of the admirals said so as well. so don't never play said so as well. so don't never play poker with adam. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> all right, i always win. >> all right, i always win. >> what should we look at? the telegraph then with the tory mps? >> yes. so this is from the daily telegraph. this is the secrets of how five tory mps were felled. and this is from the tell all memoir from 1922. chiefs lifted lids on backstabbing at the heart of westminster. so, yeah, this is the former chairman of the 1922 committee has revealed backroom tensions and deals behind the most turbulent decade in conservative party history. for the first time. so this is basically just a memoir, sort of talking about how, like all was not well during the conservative government when they were in power. basically a lot of everything that might be seen on the surface, everyone is united, but obviously, well, where did you see when this stuff went in the 14 years in the photos? josh, when they were laughing and they were smiling at each other, they were going, oh, one big happy family. turns out it

was a it was a lot like school. everyone was backstabbing each other and they were all quite nasty. >> and this is worse than school. >> this is a tell all memoir. you can't say you knew it because otherwise there's nothing for them to tell josh. >> okay, fine. fair enough. but thatis >> okay, fine. fair enough. but that is amazing. that one man sort of oversaw. 5:00 pm. yeah. the amount of. yeah, the amount of let he was like father christmas. yeah. for 14 years. they were just coming through the doorjust. and yeah, it is i is, it's look, there's they're selling his book. he wants to get his book out there . he's got get his book out there. he's got he's basically just the whole article is about all the names of all our politicians have been calling each other, that's priti. >> this was a sponsored piece . >> this was a sponsored piece. how has that made it to the front? i mean, like, no, no. >> yeah, i'm sure i'm. no, i'm sure they've paid money. they're going to have some excerpts in the sunday edition or whatever for him. no, but, you know, fair enough. i think it's really good that he's betraying their trust, for, for for money, loads of money. yeah. good. whatever. but i'm surprised i'm a little bit shocked that there was so much backstabbing within this world of politics. who knew? >> i feel you guys have really gone to tatters. i feel like i have to stand up. i love the

1922 committee. great committee. >> you got that poster on your. yeah, on their bedroom wall. >> i love i'm into skulduggery and i think they do it really well. yeah they are, they are. well yes. they can't really recover from the whole rishi trust thing. it's going to take a long time to get the trust back after the, the trust, the trust mainly rishi trust, what a conveyor belt. whatever we want to call it. carousel let's do the eye then, shall we? >> yeah. surge in private uk health care as record number of people turn away from the nhs. this is , off the back of the this is, off the back of the report earlier this week into the nhs, they're saying they're not going to give more money to it. it has to be spent better. this is the labour government and a lot of people are just sick of it. and so they're going private, particularly things like cataract surgery. endoscopies i've had a couple of those nice colonoscopy. how are they? hip replacements. yeah. >> tell us about that at 5 am. over people's breakfast. >> so, and that it's obviously it's, it's sad that it shows that the system is somewhat broken. if this is what people

are having to resort to now that they don't have the options, that when it comes to, you know, we know the secret of life is health and people will pay what they can for it. yeah unfortunately, we live in a system where we're meant to have , system where we're meant to have, you know, health care available to all. >> that's not that's a crazy idea, josh. that's never going to work. >> that's the idea . so it's >> that's the idea. so it's like, what's the point of us paying like, what's the point of us paying this money if we're not getting the service? >> i know we're going to end up with a de facto private system if we don't already. adam >> yeah, no, i agree with what really heart warmed my heart about this story. was that the it was reported that insurers are cashing in on soaring demand by raising the cost of private coven by raising the cost of private cover. so a nice story. >> yeah. it's like a heart warming good for you, private health care. yeah. really nice. get that money we're giving them. >> probably all the data from our wrist watches as well for free checking. >> and apparently murdoch has met jim mcmahon badenoch in tory leadership contest. and as always, just in case murdoch ever takes his channel over. great guy. >> yes, absolutely. i have previously criticised some other of his outlets and i, but that

was banter. i feel bad you were joking, i feel terrible. he's a great dude. he's not 93 years old. he's got to get on with it. yeah. >> all right. should we have a look at this very important story on the star then? >> yes. so this is a story where a government mp risks career by calling the downing street mouse, mouse . larry. so, the mouse, mouse. larry. so, the famous cat, a little . yeah. and famous cat, a little. yeah. and that's what it basically. >> thank you for not saying that because some of our panellists would have just gone for that straight in there. >> oh no. no, i'm, i'm and i don't just mean louis shaffer okayi don't just mean louis shaffer okay i do. >> so yeah. >> so yeah. >> so yeah. >> so just it's kind of a non—story. >> he just made up a non—story on the front of the star. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you're talking about adam. >> you're talking about adam. >> you're talking about adam. >> you have not earned the right to say non—story. you have to be here for at least 7 or 8 months before you can start throwing out non—stories. you don't know what a non—story is. that's very true. this could be a big deal. >> this could be it is the most important story we've had. i think this is what we've given you. deal with it. i deliberately didn't learn the name because i think it's hilarious that we all know who

larry the cat is, but nobody knows the name of the supposed mp. so i want to continue that tradition. >> the supposed mp you're denying he's even an mp? >> well, he don't even know his name. >> we've gone full louis shaffer. he has gone conspiracy theory. i like it. >> all right, well, those were the front deau dealt with excellently. so coming fighting talk from farage

welcome back to headliners. i'm

nick dickson, still here. thought about leaving but still here with legendary comedians josh howie and adam kumars. hello. so let's crack on and do saturday's mail with an update on the rotherham atrocity. josh? >> yeah , rotherham grooming gang >> yeah, rotherham grooming gang who plied girls as young as 11 with drugs and alcohol before raping them, are jailed for a total of 106 years. this is the latest case, and, it's just heartbreaking to read about the experiences. one of the victims, stood up in court and made a statement, and it was very hard to read, let alone imagine being there . at the time, the only there. at the time, the only journalist was from gb news, which i think is astounding that this isn't being covered wider. obviously the mail are covering it, but i couldn't find it in the newspapers. a few hours ago when we were looking for all this stuff, this is a part of operation stovewood, this . operation stovewood, this. they've uncovered at least 1300 girls in total, and now they're

saying that from now on, it's going to be anyone new who who sort of is identified is going to be handed back to yorkshire police. because they did such a great job last time , and, the great job last time, and, the current investigations, incredibly, are going to be going through to 20, at least 2027. so this is how many people are lined up. with this. and, yeah, it's just sort of it's heartbreaking, isn't it? >> well, yeah, it's absolutely horrific. i mean, at least people are now finally being sentenced, but it's taken far too long. things like this are still ongoing as far as i'm aware, in other towns. yeah. and you also suspect with everything that's going on, will they get out too early, given that we've seen so many people released too early? that is one fear i have. what do you think, adam? >> yeah, it's very sort of disheartening and disgusting to be honest . and when you look at be honest. and when you look at it, you know, they try and the headliners try to make it say like a total of 106 years, but it's like, what, 15 years per on average. so it's like it's quite average. so it's like it's quite a short sentence considering these, some of the nasty things ,

these, some of the nasty things, these, some of the nasty things, the disgusting things these people have done, yeah . it's people have done, yeah. it's a shame, isn't it? it's like i think this is this is sort of reflected in our wider community. i think obviously we've got our finger on the pulse and we've got close to the ground here at this new station. but like, you're right, it's just not really being covered anywhere else. and when people do try and raise these issues, like, you know, some of these protests that have been led by tommy robinson, whether you like him or not, like that's a lot of his stuff has been led by trying to attack this sort of stuff. he's been sort of branded, as you know. >> yeah. and the fact that the labour mp that first raised a lot of this stuff had to step down, was the shameful. the whole thing has been shameful. i don't and i'm always saying we're far from dealing with the trauma of this, that it's inflicted upon this country and the rage that's bubbling under the rage that's bubbling under the surface. and no one's really said anything about it. no one's really publicly dealt with that. i don't know how one does deal with that. >> i'm curious as to internally within the muslim community, in those areas, what they have done to deal with this to, to to,

culturally, if anything. well, that's what i'm saying. like, i just don't i maybe there are maybe there are some programs that are being led or something like that , but where is there like that, but where is there anything going on there? >> it would be nice for like local leaders to sort of maybe stand up and say, this is disgusting. this is not what we're about. that'd be quite nice if a local imams sort of said something about that. but i don't think we've we've seen that, have we? >> and do you think that's a fair criticism? because sometimes you hear that criticism when it comes to, you know, islamic extremism. sometimes i think, well, these people are going about their daily lives. they're not criminals and they're also perhaps worried for their lives. you know, in cases of when it's like, why haven't you reported terrorists and so on. so is it a fair criticism to give balance? >> but that's a it's a good question. but at the same time, of course, this this is predominantly certainly all of these men were part of that community. i imagine they all went to a mosque. i'm not saying it's because they were muslims, but they were certainly part of that community. yeah so there's obviously something within that community that as a group, they these men felt it was acceptable. that's coming from

some for some cultural reasons. yeah, yeah. >> and it wasn't always white girls, but most of the cases it was and there seemed to be an element of like, we don't see these people as people or equal in any way. and that's very uncomfortable. >> racial white people don't want to talk about it. so i think it's like you've got you've got the thing was white girls and a sikh girls as well. but yeah, i think this is just horrible. and i think all it takes is for a couple of community leaders within these in these communities to sort of stand up and also say how abhorrent it is, and that would diffuse a lot of local tensions and be better for best for everyone. >> all right. well, let's move on and do the telegraph and farage has found himself in a war against the establishment that's not like him, adam. >> no. so, yeah. so this is the story from the telegraph. nigel farage lashes out over fears he could lose gb news job, and this comes from lucy powell, leader of the commons and chairman of the newly formed commons modernisation committee, has tasked officials with looking into politicians media appearances as part of a wide effort to improve the levels of pubuc effort to improve the levels of public trust and remove conflicts of interest. now i looked at some of the stats and josh howie were, teasing me

earlier for being a calculator . earlier for being a calculator. i'm such a such a tease. i'm such a tease in the office. anyway, he was paid £82,000 last month for 32 hours, which works out to £2,562 an hour, which is incredible because my hourly rate is £37.50 an hour. so, what do you do? yeah, i'm on here, nick. thank you very much. ahem, but, yeah. no, i think this is interesting, isn't it ? i but, yeah. no, i think this is interesting, isn't it? i think what's before we criticise this, you might sort of go. yeah. should they be allowed? should they not? what's interesting about this is the fact that, labour mps, namely david lammy and jess phillips, have both been paid vast sums by all other other sort of, other entities, 44,000 for appearances and obe, see labour. david lammy received last year and jess phillips received more than 11,000 11,500 for sky for tv appearances. she paid. it's all over the shop, you know, i mean, it should just be called the stop farage law. >> i mean, this is clearly what they want to do, but but also then again, when you look at the full law, they talk about media

appearances, journalism, speeches, and it's just kind of everything. i mean, you wouldn't be allowed boris johnson's columns. it's very normal for politicians to write columns expressing their views, isn't it? is that a. >> well, this is wider than nigel farage's, but do you feel it's aimed at him slightly. here. look, we look well yes, i do think it's slightly , possibly do think it's slightly, possibly slightly, but no, i'm saying the story is larger than him in terms of the implications and obviously, look, he's you know, he's got one of the biggest. is it the biggest show, one of the biggest shows i think breakfast and his show. so there's a vested interest in us on this channel going, oh we think that of course he should do it. but the reasons that they are saying to in terms of improving levels of public trust and removing a conflict of interest, well , they conflict of interest, well, they banned mps from providing paid advice on policy, like for having a second job. that makes sense. that's a, that's a, that's a contradiction in terms of them. having conflicts of interest. but i don't know what the conflict of interest is in terms of presenting a tv show . terms of presenting a tv show. arguably, it increases your communication with your

audience. and as he himself has pointed out, i think fairly, you're also getting on different points of view. and, and i've and, you know, to be fair to him, i don't agree with him politically, but i have seen him concede points to political opponents on his show. yeah. and that's that's he's very fair. >> he has all kinds of people on. he says i'm here with a panel of people. some agree with me, some disagree. we have an open debate. what is wrong with that, adam? >> but but i think you're sort of both missing the idea of nigel farage bad. and that's the thatis nigel farage bad. and that's the that is that the entirety that's the entirety of the opposition. and i think that's most people go he bad. he should not get money. >> also just quickly in his defence it seems like a lot of money and it seems like, oh, when you work out the hourly rate like that, but the reality is less than my wage. yeah, it's not like we are being paid seemingly for an hour of telly , seemingly for an hour of telly, but that's not the reality of it. you know, you're not factoring in how am i getting paid to dye my beard? i haven't had a chance to do it recently. am i being paid to, pluck my nose hair? right. this stuff takes a long time .

nose hair? right. this stuff takes a longtime. i'm sure he's takes a long time. i'm sure he's doing the same thing i would. >> can you sleep in the office? you're here the whole time. >> i'm here also. i have to, like, reply to all the requests for the nude photos. that's a couple of hours. so it's not just one hour. >> reply to all the tweets you get after the show. yeah, it's a tncky get after the show. yeah, it's a tricky job. >> it's much more than an hour. >> it's much more than an hour. >> they're all after farage. there was a led by donkeys billboard today in clacton saying, oh, he gets paid this amount. oh shock horror famous pubuc amount. oh shock horror famous public figure makes money. meanwhile they're letting starmer off for the winter fuel payments and releasing. >> they were going to they said. they said they were going to hold labour to account. and i'm yet to see them do that, says accountability in their twitter bio. >> we're all waiting with bated breath. let's do the telegraph. then again, four and words no one ever wants to hear. ed miliband takes control. josh. >> yeah, households face 630 million bill pound bill as miliband takes control of britain's electricity network. this is part of this whole sort of green utopia that he is building. it's the new national energy system operator and really it brings everything under his remit. believe it or not, he is going to be the one shareholder in this company,

good deal. he's paying for it out of taxpayers money. the idea is that then that money is paid back by the consumer, which is, again, the taxpayer . so again, the taxpayer. so explaining cryptocurrency, right. something along those lines . but the right. something along those lines. but the gist of it is, right. something along those lines . but the gist of it is, is lines. but the gist of it is, is it will allow for greater coordination in terms of like as he says here, it's going to allow us to bring the recyclable, recyclable stuff in. it's going to be lower cost. we're going to be dependent on, not on other countries. so you think when it when you put it like that, it's like, oh yeah, that's good. i do want to pay less electricity and i for my electricity. and wouldn't it be nice to sort of save the planet as you do and also not be beholden to foreign countries? but how much is that going to cost us? how realistic is that? >> yeah. well, i've also got a question that he lamented the closing of the grangemouth oil refinery. and on twitter he was saying, oh, it's so sad. yet he stopped all new oil and gas licences. so some people have been confused about that. but

anyway, what do you think to this, this one, i mean, just with regards to the point you just made, nick, i think that's just made, nick, i think that's just like having your cake and eating it, isn't it? >> i think i think he's he understands maybe acutely that you can say, say one thing onune you can say, say one thing online and actually sort of veto in other words, maybe in another way. so yeah, i mean ultimately when i saw this, i think i saw similar sentiments to josh, my main concern is will it make gas and electricity cheaper and when will it. because i'm paying through the roof for mine. so you have a roof? i don't even have a roof . it's wasting all of have a roof. it's wasting all of it. >> okay, well, that's probably enough on that. i tend to glaze over with those energy stores. maybe that's what i need to do with with housing. >> i really tried to entertain you there, nick. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> no, i saw you glazing over. >> no, i saw you glazing over. >> that's what they should do. they pay 630 million. >> yeah, yeah, but you were just. you were glazed. total glazed. >> well, that's what we need for houses. total glazing. so let's do the guardian and kamala harris wants another debate. is this the loser calling for a rematch? adam total loser. >> this is. yeah. so this is from the guardian. we owe it to voters. harris calls for another debate at north carolina rallies. so kamala harris held rallies. so kamala harris held rallies on thursday. north

carolina, first in charlotte and then in greensboro, calling for another round of debates with donald trump. two days after her strong showing in philadelphia against the former president. so i didn't get to watch the debate in entirety. i certainly didn't stay up till 2 am. or 1 am. stay up till 2 a.m.or1a.m. started watch. neither did you. that's what the job involves, a fact. josh is just i was here, i was watching gb news all night long. he didn't start to two in the morning. so how does that work, anyway? the point is, i think from what the clips i'd seen and from the general consensus on twitter and my twitter is heavily right wing, people weren't impressed with, trump to an extent. they felt like it didn't go as hard enough as he could have done with, talking about mass immigration or anything else he was focusing more on, like the, migrants. he was also a bit all over the place, i think. yeah. and i think what's interesting is, i mean, i'm no fan of kamala myself, but it's like, i think what we've seen is someone who's got a younger cognitive brain speaking to an old person, i think against biden , trump think against biden, trump always looks pretty, pretty strong. and against kamala, he maybe just fumbled and didn't didn't sort of attack her when he needed to. so the interesting

thing is that, they are putting kamala social media people are putting out all these videos now sort of showing trump in the previous debates sort of eight years ago or whatever. >> and showing him now and showing the seemingly cognitive decline. yeah. well, the other videos coming home to roost, the other videos they're putting out of all the they're eating the dogs. >> but the thing is, they just look really cool and funny for trump. and it's completely backfired because there was a guy that put it out as a socialist and he's like, really angry on twitter because everyone's like loving this video. it's like a song of eating the dogs. yeah. all anyone's going to remember because trump is trump's the king of memes. they're like, oh, he lost the debate. all i can remember is they're eating the dogs. they're eating the cat. today, he added a new one. he came out and said, they're walking off with the town's geese. they're just like, it's they're taking the geese. >> of course, the thing is, back to the story. yes, she does want to the story. yes, she does want to have another debate. she did well in it. yeah. she came off well. >> it's why do you want another if you've won? well because she wants to win again. >> yeah, exactly. now you win the majority of americans polled said they didn't feel that they

had to be another debate. i think more debates are better. >> trump's also said he doesn't want any more. yeah. >> no, he doesn't want any more because it's only his to lose. >> said she was a no show at the fox debate. refused to do nbc and cbs and then in block capitals. kamala should focus on what she should have done during the last almost four year period. there will be no third debate. >> i think more debates are absolutely a good thing. they're good for us. >> not going to happen. all right. should we quickly do the telegraph? and could a childless cat lady swing the election for harris? >> very nice. yeah. taylor swift is the childless cat lady in this case. could swing the election for kamala harris. these are the numbers that prove it. so the telegraph has gone a deep, deep dive. deep dive down into the numbers and the argument traditionally would be that. no. and actually people kind of resent celebrities coming forward and spewing forth their stupid opinions. but in this case, it might actually make a difference. it made a difference when obama when someone's massive enough, it made a difference. it made a difference with oprah. supposedly she got like a million more votes for obama. there's the they're sort of saying it could make a difference here. it certainly did make a difference on when

she put her post out. and there was like a 500% increase on the vote website. >> 585 but in registrations. >> 585 but in registrations. >> registrations. well, here's the thing. will those children young people turn out and vote? that's what they don't know. they say if those people who said that they would have voted and were registered to vote, for clinton, hillary clinton, then she would have actually won that election. but they didn't know there's a big gap. >> plus, you could argue, you know, the so—called cat lady, the single women in their 30s are voting harris anyway. they're not switching across young people are too young to vote. will anyone actually switch because of taylor swift with the clock against us? as mark dolan says? what do you think, adam? >> yeah, no, i think this is really interesting. i think i think taylor swift has a lot of sway, more so than traditional celebrities. if anybody disagrees, they don't know how mental. i don't know if i can say that, swifties are they are very passionate people. my wife's a swiftie. i'm sorry to hear that. mental get a divorce, no, i just i think it's interesting. i think when you said young people, i think a lot. you got to remember a lot of these swifties are actually

ageing millennials. a lot of them in their 30s. yeah. >> that's young, young for us, mate. >> okay. how dare you? i'm an ageing millennial. that's exactly what i am. are you going to start going on about weights ' 7 m. again? >> oh yeah. >> oh yeah. >> young guys i know adam's life show. anyway, we're halfway through, but coming up, calling someone a coconut is just political satire. york feels bad about

soon. welcome back to headliners. let's get straight into saturday's independent. and do we have a two tier political satire system ? adam, see what satire system? adam, see what i did there? >> interesting. yes so, yeah, this is from the independent teacher who held a coconut placard of sunak and braverman found not guilty. so mariah hussain, 37, was acquitted after standing trial at westminster magistrates court in london. so for those of you who don't know, she basically was caught at one of a pro—palestine protest with a picture with of a coconut tree with rishi sunak and suella

braverman underneath. and people were saying, was this racial hatred before you guys chime in, because i probably know where you're going to come from, i think it's fine. >> i think it's i'm unique and unpredictable. it's i love this. >> i think it's fine. you're fine because, okay. because she's brown as a they it doesn't make any difference. yeah. well it means i mean it's a bit hard to accuse her of being racist when she's the same sort of colour. no. well, specifically someone who's half brown themselves. okay, well let's go. >> we'll continue. go on, go on. >> we'll continue. go on, go on. >> and then digging the hole. >> and then digging the hole. >> dig the hole. >> dig the hole. >> no, no. i also think i also think as well. well, look, i might not think it's tasteful, but, you know, should you need to go to a court the same way we defend all free speech and the right to poke poke jibes at stuff we should defend. we should be happy that it's ruled against her as long as we're doing it. the same for ourselves. and if it is going against us, we should. we should rally about that, not celebrate her. >> you know what, adam? that's that's the key. i hate all hate speech laws. i wouldn't have hate speech laws. i think it's nonsense. but if you're going to have them, you've got to apply them equally. would would you be able to be a white person saying

this about someone else? no, absolutely not. coconut is surely a racial slur. it's not political satire. no, i agree, but just just to jump in there like we must celebrate this the way we would relegate the hate we have to be consistent in our criticisms, in our in our opinion, if we don't like, hate, hate speech laws, no, i don't, but but if we're going to have them, i say the opposite. then we have to apply them equally. and we all know this wouldn't be appued and we all know this wouldn't be applied equally. it's a two tier. >> the fact is, if two tier coconut was white, was white, who done it? it would be deemed racist. yes for sure. and that's the thing. and the idea that this person says here, they said, oh, she doesn't have a she obviously doesn't have a racist bonein obviously doesn't have a racist bone in her body. what, because of the colour of her skin, she's incapable of racism. that is so ridiculous. but she every ethnicity any ethnicity is capable of racism. >> but it was it was brown people against brown people. and the guy who said there was no racist rajiv manuel, he was also brown. so it was just brown and brown. so it was just brown and brown violence. >> so i think that's a strange judgement for the judge to make. would she be so lenient with another person? no she would. tommy robinson, would she say, say what you like, but he doesn't have a racist bone in his body. >> if tommy robinson was doing it against white people, would

he be rishi sunak a safe target? >> suella braverman is a safe target there on the site. this is a pro—establishment so—called satire. it goes in the direction that the regime likes. right. so they're more lenient? yeah >> yeah, potentially. >> yeah, potentially. >> josh agrees. >> josh agrees. >> the argument is it's the genre of political satire. it's a famous racist expression. yeah >> so it's a very unpleasant thing to be called. i mean, people have really i mean, here's the other thing. >> i'm sure just to say, i'm just going to say it one more time. yes. the people who sunak braverman whether you agree with them politically or not, it's an offensive thing for them to be called. it can also be used thing and to play devil's advocate, it can be used in humour. >> romesh ranganathan is famous funny bit. his mom was calling him a coconut and a bounty and everything else. so it can seem as that i personally this wasn't banter. >> this is about people actually really disliked politically. >> yes, but if you saw the photo, i thought, okay, can i just say one more thing about this? >> she's this is her case. qc rajiv menon said, the right to peaceful protest did not risk in any shape, form , violence or any shape, form, violence or pubuc any shape, form, violence or public disorder the right to anti—racist , to criticise anti—racist, to criticise members of their own race for pursuing racist policies. and

it's like basically at this march, it's at a racist march where people are shouting, screaming for the genocide of jews and that she's an anti—racist in that circumstances, in that context, yeah, we're surrounded by other people shouting for genocide. yeah. with the posters that are with swastikas and craziness. to be fair, this is probably a relatively mild poster on that day. >> but yeah, it's all relative. all right, let's do the guardian then. and they've found yet another thing to call racist. and this time it's the boards that oversee national parks. josh, are they scraping the barrel of racism a bit? >> they are though. this is england's national parks, overseen by bloated, mostly white male boards. >> this is bloated white men, a guardian analysis found. >> so the guardian went out going well, you know, leo kearse does these tweets today. what's racist is and this is that's what it is. the guardian has gone out and gone. what who are these people okay. check out how many white people on that board. yeah in those areas are they are predominantly white areas. they

are not reflective necessarily of the makeup. and the rest of the country, and the fact that it's dominated by men severely lacking in diversity, severely. >> you hear this term race communism. this is pure race communism, like they found 70% of the 225 members of the parks boards were men, right. of the 225 members of the parks boards were men, right . and why boards were men, right. and why doesit boards were men, right. and why does it matter? and then they talk about their racial makeup. why does everything have to be completely equal? maybe men and maybe white men just like the countryside more. everything has to be equal in guardian world. i've never understood that. what and why? sorry. adam is non—white, an automatic pejorative. seven of the ten parks have no non—white minority ethnic board members . so what? ethnic board members. so what? what's the problem with that? and inherent in it is an idea that white people are somehow bad and need to be reduced in numbers. >> yeah, it's bizarre. i, i really think i hate the, the idea of describing him also as like bloated , as if, like, who like bloated, as if, like, who cares? why? why are we calling it? we're just you visualise a picture of a fat white male just sort of bloated. >> yeah. and washing up on the beach, that's to me.

>> i'm going to get angry. >> i'm going to get angry. >> you're not. you're not bloated. the jane butler, the executive director of the national parks, she basically said, look there. locally appointed members, sometimes a lot of these towns are full of white people. so it's not surprising that a white person gets in. personally, i was trying to find something like what is happening with the trees is the biodiversity. and then i found one sliver of information, half a sentence, which is the uk only has half of its biodiversity left, putting it in the bottom of 10% of the world's countries. i was like, oh, that's serious. that is serious. and then it was it was created by white men being the problem. i was like, okay, i don't really care. do i care that nurseries are mainly led by women? no. who cares? like just if it's a problem about the biodiversity, talk about saying that there are some issues with these parks in terms of their knowledge of who actually owns the land and the conservation elements of it and stuff, but to just focus on the white thing as like, that's the problem or the solution. >> that's ridiculous. i'm so sick of it. let's do the telegraph then. and new york doesn't think we've expressed enough guilt yet for slavery. adam. >> yeah. so this is an article from the telegraph, new york, to

consider paying reparations for slavery. now, it's important to point out that the proposal still needs to be signed into law by democratic mayor eric adams, what's interesting about this story is that this has actually been tried a couple of times. i think, like san francisco, they approved reparations, but they later cut the funds, so it failed. california budgeted 12 million, then it failed, i think illinois, evanston , illinois, illinois, evanston, illinois, they put out a grand sum of £25,000 spread between within 2023, i it's you can see why it's on the front of people's minds in new york because slavery was only abolished in 1820 seven inches new york. so, you know, quite recent, i don't know. would my opinion be different if i was a black guy living in new york? absolutely. because why not, you know, get it from me, get it from me. but i'm not. i'm a i'm a, i'm a mixed race guy living in croydon. so i don't think this is particularly i think croydon reparations are needed more than new york reparations for having to live in croydon. >> yeah, but the idea is that they're saying there's a there's a misunderstanding that

reparations means just money. >> yeah. what they're talking about here is like renaming some some streets . possibly, possibly. >> they say starting the conversation is the most important part. i feel like we don't talk about anything else. >> yeah, i did exactly the same thing. it's like, sorry. no no no no, no. at that point is we identify that it's like really starting the starting. >> i'd like to stop. >> i'd like to stop. >> it's been a really long conversation. >> joseph joseph borelli had said said something great. the council's republican majority minority leader, who represents staten island, said, i bear no responsibility for slavery , responsibility for slavery, unless someone can explain to me why i should bear some individual and societal guilt through my taxes until that i'm going to be saying sorry. >> actually, i just want to say one thing. there was actually within illinois where they did give this 25,000 that you mentioned in 2023. there is an argument there because it was a harm suffered as a result of the city's discrimination, housing policies or practices. so when it's a direct historical racism which may have impacted people's lives , like who are alive, you lives, like who are alive, you could certainly make the

argument that they are deserving of money. but josh, don't you don't you better than 200 years shouldn't shouldn't evanston, illinois just be investing in the area? >> if it's rundown? anyway, you don't need to mark it up as being a race thing. just be like cool. it's a rundown area. we're going to invest in it, don't you think? >> the fact that we ended slavery, we should get a big payout for ending it? no. anyone england payout for ending it? >> no, we did the moral. >> no, we did the moral. >> okay, well, i clicked on a on a telegraph pole and 98% were against this. but that is really against this. but that is really a telegraph, so. all right, well we're gonna go to break that is it for part three. but coming up in the final section, king charles needs a

welcome back to headliners. it's the final section. let's kick off with saturday's express and staff at belfast city hospital

are facing disciplinary action for removing a plaque with prince andrew's name on it. they must be sweating, josh . must be sweating, josh. >> indeed. >> indeed. >> very good. >> very good. >> sweating, sweating because he's sweating. he doesn't. he doesn't sweat. they do. >> yeah, because they're normal. >> yeah, because they're normal. >> hospital staff disciplined for removing plaque as it had prince andrew's name on it. this is a special wing that he inaugurated which was dealt with, like conditions, like not being able to sweat and various other things. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> the important one, if that's true or not. but boy, was there was a little plaque out front. and then when it all kicked off in a couple of years ago, it disappeared. and then they've been searched hunting it down and they found it. supposedly they've been disciplined. this is belfast. so they probably they might have been kneecapped. but i'm still too scared to make any jokes about ireland. so you're over it now? no, no , it's you're over it now? no, no, it's about ireland. >> because i grew up in that era just being terrified. it's the one thing i won't joke about. >> okay? i'm fine. >> okay? i'm fine. >> you can make a joke about ireland. >> it's just northern ireland. >> it'sjust northern ireland. >> it's just northern ireland. you know, the tough guys. >> it annoys andrew doyle as

well. and there's never a good thing to annoy andrew. oh, well. >> andrew, enough. fair enough. >> andrew, enough. fair enough. >> but yeah, they've had a proper investigation. who knows how much tax money was spent spent on this. they're just make a new plaque or whatever. the question is of course. do they put the plaque up there? this sort of relates to the whole pulling down statues. yeah thing. he's arguably disgraced. yeah, i know you want to make a joke. >> i feel i feel he's a he's been! >> i feel i feel he's a he's been i feel it's a bit tough for prince andrew isn't it adam. >> he's been cancelled. you know, cancel culture has gone mad. yeah yeah, yeah, it's i mean it was it. >> to be fair, i think the plaque was, it was in the children's ward, and i. oh, allegedly. no i do. maybe they should instead of putting it back. they should. young person's ward a brig. they should put put in a big bronze statue instead just to sort of lean over the beds, who really cares? i think they've taken down a plaque if they want to put it back up and have a judicial. i agree with you. just put a new pack up, get it done in a day for £20. don't like, have this whole big search. >> spend all our tax money. yeah. to do it. no i'm against a bronze statue of prince andrew. >> just for just for balance.

you know what they did? >> i it's not fair to equate the two, but jimmy savile had all of the kind of. i'm not. i'm just saying that i want to hear you finish this. there were a lot of plaques. he did. he opened a lot of, you know, they were they systematically went and kind of got rid of all of these things that he'd done. i'm not i don't think that they're the same in any way. well prince andrew, but obviously someone does. >> yeah. okay >> yeah. okay >> let's move on to the mail. and there's a new trend amongst gen z called christianity. but will it catch on? adam. >> what's what's that? sorry. >> what's what's that? sorry. >> christianity. >> christianity. >> never heard of it. okay. yeah so yeah. so god for instagram, god for the instagram generation. a new wave of celebrities passionate about religion could see emptying. churches filled once more . yeah. churches filled once more. yeah. so this is this is a news story that younger celebrities are now sort of embracing god very trendy. i think some of the vicars are now sort of saying rate my fit, which is like, exactly what you rape my what? >> no rate that rate rate rate rate specifically didn't use that word that you said rate my fit. >> yes. what does what does fit mean? >> i was in your clothes. you're

wearing. josh, you really are. are you not? down with the kids? josh? josh, where's your riz? yeah. where's your rings? >> oh, man. >> oh, man. >> rate my. also use riz in the wrong context. >> no, it means charisma. it kind of works. it kind of means chatting up girls. >> i guess it was rizlas was about you can't riz josh unless you're gay. anyway what. >> what's going on? this is. i'm out of my league . out of my league. >> it's a demographic that doesn't watch this show is getting this go on. yeah exactly. >> that's very true, so yeah, interestingly, yeah. people on people. christianity is cool again. or at least it's having its moment. i think people are having people are in their christian era, which is what what young people say. >> oh, look, the wheel turns. and this is sort of tiktok, tiktok. people have been embracing younger people who've been embracing more right wing politics as well. on there there's the whole trad, trad, fem or whatever it is. yeah. and also, i guess it's a way of rebelling, but the other thing, of course, is it might just be nice for people to reconnect with some form of spirituality. >> i mean, and i'm saying this as an atheist, i think it's quite nice if people if people are culturally christian and

they see some values in that, and it brings people together as and it brings people together as a community and it's, you know, helping other people out, why not? >> it's great. let me be clear. i always think it's great that christianity is coming back. i just think it's slightly weird the way the article is selling it as a kind of the crazy thing. the influencers are doing, you know what i mean? that's that's my problem. >> but there's bear grylls. he's a big he's a big popular dermot o'leary. >> it is. this is cool, guys. it is worth to say that that the ons, the for office national statistics has said, though, that since 2021, the religious christianity has fell from 59% to 46%. so it's still. >> oh yeah, we know we know we're not winning. but let's do the telegraph and why the king just needs a big hug. >> adam. yeah. so this is the story of the telegraph, why the king is in favour of the healing powers of the hug, and to be honest, if you were going to hug someone from the royal family. probably not the worst person to hug. is it? so call back to the previous one. oh, yeah. plaque. anyway, i think the reason why this has been such a big story is famously , the queen, may she is famously, the queen, may she rest in peace, was she was very much known for not being wanting

to be touched, sort of at all. >> she didn't want to get cold. >> she didn't want to get cold. >> yeah, exactly. and basically she had this system where she would extend her hand first and then maybe then only a very brief handshake. so for to see prince, to king charles even embrace someone. so physically with a hug, is it kind of humanises him a little bit and, you know, and you see those, you know, cute little sausage fingers behind the hug. it's kind of nice. you know, i wouldn't hug anyone on this panel wouldn't hug anyone on this panel, though. i just want to say, well, being hugged, four times a day basically can save your life. >> that's what they're saying. that's what i read up to 12 times a day. you can thrive with a hug and hug. there's a whole article about all of these, these things. but let's give it a go. come on. yeah. oh, you smell good. >> oh. thank you. >> oh. thank you. >> he smells good. but it does. it only counts when it's the last thing they're expecting on gb news. >> guys, we've got to go. i need a hug. after this show, but the show is over. thank you very much. but let's have a quick look at saturday's front pages. let's see if we can get them. oh, there we go. the telegraph has the secrets of how five tory mps were felled. the times goes

thickest cloud and the more persistent and at times heavy outbreaks of rain to western scotland through the evening and northern ireland. however, the rain does turn lighter and more patchy through the night and by the end of the night, even in the end of the night, even in the north, it will be mostly dry, albeit cloudier and milder compared with how we started things on friday. the clearest skies will be further south and again temperatures approaching zero, so a bit of a chill in the for air southern counties of england, parts of south wales into the midlands and east anglia. i think in main towns and cities. temperatures at 8 or 9 celsius in sheltered rural spots, more like the low single figures. however, for northern ireland, northern england, parts of scotland. a very different story. first thing saturday. 10 to 13 celsius with an awful lot of cloud out there and some outbreaks of persistent rain and drizzle over the hills of western scotland. otherwise, actually eastern scotland seeing good shelter from that and some brightness coming through, and

it's going to feel milder with the winds picking up from the southwest. meanwhile, for much of england and wales, a bright, albeit relatively cloudy afternoon to come, the best of the sunshine will be in the south with lighter winds, 18 or 19 celsius feeling perfectly pleasant. now the rain that will increasingly arrive in the northwest on saturday night will spread south by sunday so that it's across cumbria, north and west wales. during the day . west wales. during the day. still some sunshine to be had in the south and southeast and some brighter skies for scotland and northern ireland, albeit with a few blustery showers around. monday starts off drier for many of us and then increasingly sunny and increasingly warm through next week. >> looks like things are heating up boxt boilers sponsors of weather
