want to see is a really ambitious budget in october. we want the labour government to use the budget to be a budget to save our nhs and care services, and as part of that, we want to see an increase in day to day spending, not by taxing struggling families , but by struggling families, but by reversing the tax cuts for the big banks and closing the loopholes in capital gains tax. so the wealthiest pay a little bit more. but we also want to see borrowing to repair our crumbling hospitals and gp surgeries, too. >> now in the us, the rapper sean combs also known as p diddy, has been denied bail after pleading not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering charges. the 54 year old was arrested on monday in new york on three felony charges as he allegedly hit and abused women for over a decade. the music mogul is under investigation after a number of women came forward. combs has denied all the claims, and his team insists he's innocent and ready to clear his name in court. he's innocent and ready to clear his name in court . and finally, his name in court. and finally, the princess of wales has returned to royal duties, with

2:02 am
>> people believe that somebody. >> yes, they should. >> yes, they should. >> and somebody asked me today if i had if this was like researching, what did they say.7 >> rehearsal. that i'd rehearsed this rehearse. >> do you rehearse? someone asked louis. >> if they rehearse. >> if they rehearse. >> if they rehearse. >> i think maybe they were kidding. i can't tell, i ask a different question. why don't you rehearse? is the question i always ask you? you could help, no, it doesn't actually. yeah, it does. i'm doing. i actually do the best i can, i believe that. what am i supposed to say? no, it's good. it's a good intro. let's crack on, shall we? and we'll get into it again. but let's have a look at tomorrow's front pages. that's what the show is about. so the telegraph has thousands of pages of bombs, rocks . hezbollah. the guardian rocks. hezbollah. the guardian goes with hezbollah, vows to strike back at israel after deadly patriot attacks . the deadly patriot attacks. the times exploding pages wreak havoc among hezbollah. the mail, israel's exploding pages put middle east on the brink. doesn't sound good. the express 1 doesn't sound good. the express i to doesn't sound good. the express 1 to 7 doesn't sound good. the express i to 7 is on a doesn't sound good. the express ito7isonai.7 doesn't sound good. the express ito 7 is on a 1.7 million will not 1 to 7 is on a 1.7 million will not heat homes this winter to save money. wow. and finally, the star age of the zombies. and those are your front pages. so,
2:03 am
cressida , kicking off with the cressida, kicking off with the guardian. >> okay, the guardian, hezbollah vows to strike back at israel after deadly major attacks . after deadly major attacks. >> so, a load of pages have exploded in lebanon and israel hasn't released a comment yet, but it's assumed that israel are behind it by hezbollah, who have vowed to retaliate. currently, about 3000 people have been injured, nine have died. hezbollah are, in fact, no. the lebanese authorities are saying a ten year old girl was included in the death toll. so that's horrendous. but these explosions are relatively small. they're not bombs or rockets. they're pages that have exploded. >> well, what i'm getting at is it's quite an unusual tactic. >> they're not, it's almost like psychological warfare. all these tiny explosions have gone off. >> yeah. you've got to be careful where you buy your pages off. i mean, people are saying they wanted to tackle israel's surveillance. they moved away from cell phones, like, okay, we've cracked it with these pages. but israel was seemingly
2:04 am
one step ahead. louis. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> first of all, it's not that small because, like, ten people have died already and like a thousand or more are injured. and so it's i think it's. yeah. so what was your point? your point is, is. yeah, it's psychological warfare. i think it's brilliant. it's not going to change the war. it's not i mean, you could say it's going to make people angry. it's going to make people angry. it's going to make people angry. it's going to make these hezbollah, hezbollah people angrier. but you can't make those people any more angry. they're the angriest people on earth. they hate israel and they want to destroy. and so it's a part of war. and the reason why this is on the front page of all those newspapers is because it's unusual. it just shows that it's unusual. >> it's unusual. it'sjust unusual. >> it's unusual. it's just it's a massive news event with loads of people dying in a war situation. >> my point is that this specific tactic is novel. and as you said, they thought they'd avoided the danger of mobile phones, which have previously killed some of their members . killed some of their members. and so it feels it feels like an unusual strategy, doesn't it? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it doesn't feel like it .
2:05 am
>> it doesn't feel like it. crescent. it is. it's unusual. it's unusual. >> and women care about feelings more. lewis. what? nothing. nothing. it was a misogynist joke. carry on. sorry, >> it's unusual. joke. carry on. sorry, >> it's unusual . and they they >> it's unusual. and they they said the iran, whatever it is, the people, the lebanese, the lebanese muslims, because lebanon , lebanon has a lebanon, lebanon has a completely divided country, completely divided country, completely destroyed by invasions. whatever. what the war from 1947. and the truth is, is that is that there's going to that they that these people are going to have just punishment against israel . like it was like against israel. like it was like they hadn't thought about it. >> well, that's going to be the question. what comes next? let's move on. because this is always so hard for us as a comedy show to do those stories. you never know how to do it. so let's do the telegraph then. lewis >> yeah, this is teacher. teacher. teachers allowed to work from home. this is the daily telegraph. and teachers. when i when i heard this, i just when i when i heard this, ijust laughed. but how could a teacher work from home? unless you're doing you know, you don't need the school system. but this is keir starmer and the education secretary, bridget phillipson. she says that we're losing a lot of mothers who can't work. and
2:06 am
you know how labour is. they're just all concerned about people who don't really work. and so they're going to allow teachers to work from home. the truth is, is that is that working from home? labour thinks working from home? labour thinks working from home is more efficient than they think they've got. can i, can i make can i finish my joke? >> can you make your show? >> can you make your show? >> did you say joke or show? oh your joke. >> did you say joke or show? oh yourjoke. go on. yeah. finish the joke. labour thinks working from home is more efficient. >> yeah, more efficient than not working from home, right? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> which means it's not as efficient. sorry, i didn't mean to. no. >> it's good. there should always be a long pause in between the setup and the punchline. that's the first rule of comedy. so. yeah, i mean, it is absurd, isn't it? the idea that work from home is better, obviously not better . it's obviously not better. it's nicer. well, because you're at home, i think they would say that. >> the idea is if they're losing lots of women who want to go and have babies and not be at work at all, they would rather have this sort of halfway house thing. >> but what are they picturing? >> but what are they picturing? >> a woman at home holding a baby and doing the marking at the same time? >> i think the modern boss babe
2:07 am
can do that. the boss girl empowered sounds like a lot, doesn't it? >> having to have a baby and work at the same time, i don't know. >> you are a boss babe, and i think you could do know some work can be done at home if you're going to grade papers at home. >> but you could do this at home. >> it'd be great at the same time. >> what is what? that's what. that's what. that's one of the spin off to see lewis shafer. >> it's physically on the screen. i'm joking. we love lewis. >> i'm sorry, but the worst things about this country is the centralisation is the fact that the government thinks it's got to run state schools well, and it keeps saying we're going to be the party of growth, we're going to make the uk brilliant. >> and then things like this happen. oh, don't worry, just do it from home. it's not really in the spirit of growth, is it? >> it's a new sort of ridiculous political football. every time labour gets in they'll say, everyone go home, go and work at home. then the tories are gone and jacob rees—mogg will get back to your desk. it's going to be it's ridiculous. but i like that you've got centralisation in there already. everyone can take a drink at home and then you'll say death of love later. do we have another story on here? >> yes we do. >> i'm glad you asked, nick. we've got musk accuses britain of having misplaced priorities over edward's sentencing. so
2:08 am
this is elon musk wading in again, telling us what to do . again, telling us what to do. and there's been a lot of backlash, reaction to hugh edward's six month suspended sentence , understandably, sentence, understandably, because lots of people have been put in prison lately for facebook posts and social media comments. meanwhile, huw edwards is a legitimate convicted and he's got a suspended sentence. so of course it's outrageous and people are reacting like this. having said that , what we're having said that, what we're finding out is this is the norm for these kind of crimes and it's not that he's had a particularly lenient treatment necessarily, it's that this is how people get treated. so i wonder whether elon is shining a light on this, maybe going forward, these kind of crimes are going to have different sentences . sentences. >> yeah, i mean, i made this point. it's not it maybe is not too tiring in terms of these identical sentences, but it's two tier in the sense that we see how people for other crimes where there's a political element get punished far more harshly. and this guy peter, sweden pointed that out. he said unbelievable. a bbc presenter just avoided jail time for binding images. meanwhile, britain sent a man to 32 months.
2:09 am
pfison britain sent a man to 32 months. prison is not great english for a satirical post about the riots, and musk then said misplaced priorities. so that's what the post the story is about . what the post the story is about. >> it's a bit embarrassing, really, because all musk said was misplaced priorities. it's like, oh my god, elon musk commented. it's big news. he doesn't get elon musk doesn't care about england. i hate to say it. i care about it because i'm living here. i've got kids and stuff here. but the truth is, the truth is it's such a non it's a non—story that elon musk actually put his thing and he didn't write us a letter to whatever it is to the royal, whatever it is to the royal, whatever thing they have here. he didn't do whatever, you know what i mean. he didn't do anything. >> it's pretty cool though, isn't it, to just be able to take down a whole country with like two words misplaced priorities. sven i'd rather it wasn't my country, but is that one? he can just. well that's two. did i say two? did i say one?i two. did i say two? did i say one? i think you said two. i said two, but you can do it with one. often he just does interesting. sometimes he just does those little emoji eyes looking at something and that's enough. >> he's drawing attention to it. i think it is a big deal. he's paying i think it is a big deal. he's paying attention. >> it's like that guy frost who
2:10 am
how is that different from drawing attention? >> no, he's not drawing attention. >> he's paying attention to what she was saying . she was saying. >> that was the flaw. >> that was the flaw. >> no, i should have been listening, but i wasn't listening. >> i think i figured, why break the format now, louis? >> i have never listened. >> i have never listened. >> i have never listened. >> i haven't had a good show, but i think, you know, you can pick up. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> go on. i'll pick up in the second part. yeah. i mean, and the truth is , it's the bbc, the truth is, it's the bbc, which is evil. that's why you know, and elon musk knows that it's evil. and when elon musk interview that guy, remember that guy that he the guy was interviewing him and he turned the table. he turned the tables on him because because people need to know. that's why this is a news story, not because he's joe blow, but because he should be punished severely. >> who? huw edwards. huw edwards. i'm just trying to get. i thought you meant musk. i'm just trying to follow the thread. he's been so boring. james joyce novel. >> and he's been he's been involved with the bbc for so long. >> just to be clear, i don't think the bbc are happy about huw edwards behaviour. >> they're not happy because very clear about that. >> no, i know they would prefer to have nice people there, but it's the bbc and they don't have nice people there. i got a call
2:11 am
yesterday from the bbc to be on one of the shows and to be on the guy at bbc radio. >> you could be the new huw edwards. >> no, not the huw edwards. the american guy, justin webb. okay. and i said to the lady, i said, do you know who you're talking to? >> i said, i said this, i said, do you really want to book me? you really you need an agent lewis? >> and she goes, i'll call you back. >> and she goes, i'll call you back . yes. waiting. back. yes. waiting. >> and what happens to you quite a lot. call me back. well she didn't. she googled him and it was all over . was all over. >> defund the bbc. >> defund the bbc. >> do you have a quick look on that bombshell at the star? perhaps with this big story? >> okay. >> okay. >> daily star, age of the zombies. so real life zombies could come back from the dead after boffins discover a third state. our bodies enter after we mark it. >> yeah, this actually sounds. it's actually. this actually is a serious story. it sounds silly when they're making it about zombies, but apparently cells can sort of live on and even develop well after death . we develop well after death. we looked at it last night and it didn't end up doing it. it freaked me out. death is not the end because the cells, certain
2:12 am
cells carry on and do stuff, and it wasn't totally clear on the science. yeah, i didn't, i couldn't read it because it was in the star. >> i don't think the star has any words inside. >> it'sjust any words inside. >> it's just the zombies is a real leap. it's just it's about cells that survive after death. >> they've put a picture of keir starmer to clarify, saying, can you buy me some clothes? which isn't really relevant to the story , but they put that there. story, but they put that there. >> that is funny though. >> that is funny though. >> but but you are right about that, because there's lots of lots of animals that don't die directly. their cells don't like we, our cells age and then we die. but cells that do not die, they just make more cells and they just make more cells and they wait to be eaten before you know what's the biggest animal that doesn't die? >> the bbc, the bbc, that's it for the front pages. but coming up could assisted dying be fast tracked? will labour tear up the fiscal rule book and keir starmer is forced to accept football tickets
2:16 am
well welcome back to headliners. i'm nick dixon, still here with christine wetton and tragically with lewis schaffer. just kidding. we love lewis . let's do kidding. we love lewis. let's do the mail. and starmer could rip up the fiscal rule book. well it worked out pretty well for liz truss. lewis. yes. >> and this is this is keir starmer could rip up fiscal rule book to borrow an extra £20 billion. despite warning warnings, his downbeat approach to dealing with the budget is damaging britain's economy. of course it's damaging britain's economy. it's labour that's their job economy. it's labour that's theirjob is to leave. i remember my counsellor said to
2:17 am
me, she said, we're not very good with money. my councillor, my labour councillor says we don't care about money, but the truth is, is they're saying, they're saying that they want to do new fiscal, the old fiscal rules said that you could borrow 20 million more pounds if it looked like more money was coming in. but this, he says, we're going to borrow it anyway because it's an investment. this guy, keir starmer is big on investment. i don't even know. i don't know how he describes investment. he builds a he builds a road. is that an investment? i don't think it is. it's investment is when you spend to money bring more money into your coffers. right. so if you can spend 20 well, he's packaging this up, this 20 billion as if he's doing something responsible . something responsible. >> he's saying we're dealing with it now instead of kicking it into the long grass. what are you talking about? you're kicking it into the longer grass. you're just borrowing. >> yeah. what are you talking about? >> i don't i mean, that's pretty bafic >> i don't i mean, that's pretty basic economics, isn't it? >> it's still borrowing money and borrowing money. you've got
2:18 am
to pay back. exactly right . and to pay back. exactly right. and so this is keir starmer. this is i mean, you know me. have i been negative about keir. yes i have been he's he's he's horrible isn't he. >> i mean to be honest i do agree with you lewis. >> is that two scientific. >> is that two scientific. >> it's fair i mean but let's for balance he's not horrible i don't know but he's saying if it promotes economic growth it's in the yes column. if it's inhibiting growth , it's in the inhibiting growth, it's in the no column. it's that simple. >> but it's not across the board, is it? they're doing all these other things terrifying billionaires to leave the country and all the rest of it. so they can't say that. and then they've got the foot on the gas and the brake at the same time. well, kind of both on the brake. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, i'm a layman with economics, but i always think, well that does that mean you're going to lower taxes? but it doesn't mean that he just means he's going to borrow loads of money. but he wants to do. he's saying liz truss had unfunded commitments for tax cuts. he wants he's saying unfunded commitments for spending are just as bad. so he's going to spend a load of money, which at least, you know, everyone knew labour would. but it's going to be funded or something. i didn't understand it. did you understand it. did you understand it, lewis? when i'm looking at borrowing funded by
2:19 am
borrowing, he says, i don't know, i don't know. he's talking abouti know, i don't know. he's talking about i don't know. i don't understand these stories. the economy is i'm looking to lewis schaffer for help on economics. that's when i've hit rock bottom. rock bottom i wouldn't i'm better on the personalities, eveni i'm better on the personalities, even i would. >> velikovsky had listened to maybe velikovsky. >> that's your second drink of the evening if you're playing the evening if you're playing the lewis velikovsky drinking game. >> yeah, but the truth is, is if it brought money into the country, like, let's say you're building a port where your ships are going to be sending stuff out to bring money back in, and you need a port to get the ships. that's an investment speculate to accumulate. yeah. not no, that's not, you know, okay. >> since we're woefully unqualified on that story, let's do the express and that horrible predicament where you're forced to accept hospitality tickets to your favourite football team. we've all been there. >> lee anderson tears apart keir starmer's reason for having to accept football tickets. this is brilliant, lee anderson's ripped into the prime minister, keir starmer, over claims he, keir starmer, over claims he, keir starmer is saying he had to accept these hospitality tickets
2:20 am
because he couldn't possibly sit with the great unwashed because somebody like louis schaefer might come up to him and talk to him, possibly about politics. it could get very nasty. and lee anderson has done this sort of salt of the earth . now then, salt of the earth. now then, look, here i go to the football and i chat to people and you could do the same. and, well, yeah, i don't know. do you think it's really true that he can't go and stand with people at the football? >> some people did shout a naughty word at him recently as he passed by. i might be worried about that. then again, older rashid sunak was out there in the crowd. he was. he was pictured. i don't know what game it was, but he was out there in the crowd unmolested. so to speak. lee anderson, he, as you said, he's i stand at forest in the £700 bit and he's standing, not sitting. yeah. and yeah. so why can't starmer lewis is it like preston says he's worried about someone telling him what he's like? >> i think he's i think like all labour people, why do they wind up with so much money. why why, why is pelosi what does she have money. >> all the free glasses and clothes. it is. >> it's all that stuff. and i
2:21 am
think at the end of the day, they labour hates the people that they're supposedly serving. so if someone comes to them and says, we'll give you something, it's like, it's like it means more when you do it to a conservative. he says, you know, i got my own money, but they and are they even for balance? >> are they even supposed to be serving those people anymore, even ostensibly because it's proven with graphs and graph? i've seen graphs that that people on 70 plus thousand a year vote labour, and the more you go down, the less likely they are to vote labour, the more likely they are to vote reform. so what i'm saying is the labour even have any thin pretence of being the working party anymore. >> they don't. that's a very good, very good point . the truth good, very good point. the truth is. so maybe he's doing this to keep. maybe he's winning votes by taking the money. >> but i will be really fair. do you know what, lewis? i feel bad. i've got to be really fair to starmer and give balanced actual balance because he's claiming he's a massive arsenal fan. he can't go into stands for security reasons. all these people want to you know, just like trump. he's a he's a big target and therefore he has he can't turn. he'd have to turn down the hospitality and say,
2:22 am
okay, i don't even want the executive box because i just that's wrong morally and i can't be in the stands either. >> why can't he buy the box? is that not i don't know , football. that not i don't know, football. >> isn't that an option? >> isn't that an option? >> as an option, why can't he buy a ticket and then speak to the people and say, hey, can you get them ? get them? >> can you move me up a little bit and they'll put him someplace nicer with protection. so he could he could have done that. so he could he could have done that . no. so he could he could have done that. no. when i go to when i go to see crystal palace, my team, i to see crystal palace, my team, l pay to see crystal palace, my team, i pay for my tickets. >> i find that hard to believe. lewis schaffer pays for his own ticket, i pay, i give my good friend tristan, >> like it's £34 or whatever it is 32 and you sit in the normal seats. i sit in the well , no, seats. i sit in the well, no, actually, i stand in the one section. we're allowed to stand. keeping it real. >> crystal palace, lewis schaffer keeping it 100. all right, let's do these people know the people know. and following his brutal winter fuel policy, keir starmer explores new ways to kill old people. lewis. >> oh yeah . >> oh yeah. >> oh yeah. >> yeah, this is it is a serious story. but that's it is a serious story. >> but, you know, it's funny because sometimes the last time i was here, i had like three trans stories. this is like mps could be given vote to legalise
2:23 am
assisted dying by christmas. as keir starmer repeats his promise to campaigner esther rantzen, who i don't know about, but she was quite famous a few years ago. i think as an actress and she's, she's like gung ho. >> she's a national treasure. she did a talk show about having a heart of gold. >> a heart of gold. well, she doesn't have a heart of gold because she's still alive. if she had a heart of gold, she'd be dead. the point is, this is what labour is all about. it's all about death, death, death. it's promoting death. if somebody doesn't want to be living, if their life is so bad that they have to sit next to lewis for a couple, a couple of days a month, if it's that bad, then they die. people just die. if they lose their husband and a, you know, an accident or something, they die next. >> oh no , lewis, i'm pushing >> oh no, lewis, i'm pushing back on this right now. >> people got upset last time you said this. >> that is not the case. people do not voluntarily lose their lives. yes, they do, without doing something about it. look, i'm enormously compassionate to this. lately, they've been talking about, it's only an opfion talking about, it's only an option if you've got six months to live, which makes it sound
2:24 am
much more palatable because it doesn't mean that people with depression or those kinds of mental illnesses would be able to use this service. >> however, it does feel like a slippery slope . slippery slope. >> it's a slippery, very uncomfortable. >> yeah. you know, they start out with six months and then they say, oh, let's make it five months. and then they say, as somebody who's going to die and someone who feels that life is not worth living, and look at what's happening in canada. i think there's like it's like the second largest cause of death in canada . you can google this. canada. you can google this. >> i don't know what it is. it's massive in canada. i mean, it's very serious. someone in pain at the end of their life. i have massive sympathy. but as you say, in canada, a man died because he was autistic and being bullied. they said, yeah, you can have euthanasia. and i've said it before. a woman who had fibromyalgia later turned out she was just poor and wanted to die, and they euthanized. this person. and they're just doing it to thousands of people in canada. and i see no reason that wouldn't happen. matthew paris already wrote an article saying, hey, look, if you get a bit older, it should become taboo that you're sort of hanging around. so you see how very quickly it becomes dystopian in a secular materialist, utilitarian society. there's nothing to stop us going too far. >> the only pushback because
2:25 am
those people that they're killing are white people. >> it's inherently racist. they don't even. sorry. yeah, the whole racist back this up. >> what was your point, preston? i look forward to that graph. >> it's the same thing with the fuel allowances. who who are being punished? the older people who are like all white because this country used to be a white country, i've been told, and that's what they've done. i want to hear your explanation for this. >> well, i don't have an explanation for your mental point, but i do have my own point, but i do have my own point , which point, but i do have my own point, which is that in the previous vote in 2015, the it didn't get through 330 votes to 118. >> so it was very unpopular a few years ago. and it looks like it's becoming more popular with the people . so we don't we can't the people. so we don't we can't keep arguing even though we don't like it. there is this kind of democratic element where it's like the tone of society is just moving towards this example, like they manufacture consent, don't they? >> by telling everyone how great it's going to be, people don't realise. i've seen a lot of people on my twitter, anecdotal evidence. fair enough saying, look, i am in favour of this in principle, but i don't trust starmer's labour to do it
2:26 am
because look how they've treated people with winter fuel and especially because starmer's labour are it's a death cult. >> it's about abortion. it's about this kind of thing. it's about this kind of thing. it's about it's about giving people covid jabs that are killing people. the whole thing is about getting rid of the people that are living here and replacing them with with people who are working harder than those old dead. >> okay. and for balance, i disagree with whatever lewis said there. so let's do the independent. and this is a horrific covid vaccine story . yeah. >> young man dies weeks after receiving covid vaccine. he was wrongly invited to take by nhs. this is a horrific story. this is a man called jack last who died after having the astrazeneca covid jab. and at the time, this wasn't approved for people under 30. so the article makes quite a lot of that. but there's also a lot of failures that happened to him. so once he was made ill by this jab , his family felt that there jab, his family felt that there was a lack of urgency in the way that he was treated. getting his ct head scan, which eventually revealed that he had blood clots. but it was it was just he
2:27 am
wasn't dealt with quickly. he lost his life . and one of the lost his life. and one of the things that's come out is that part of the reason he may have had the jab is because the nhs had the jab is because the nhs had too many of these jabs and didn't want to waste them. they wanted to reduce wastage. so it was sort of pushed on him even more so than it was being pushed on people generally. so it's just a really horrendous case, >> yeah. >> yeah. >> absolutely disgusting. yeah. as you say, they had a new batch. they wanted to it was going to expire. it was a batch that was going to expire. they wanted to use it up. they didn't care at all about him. it was all about their systems and getting rid of these batches of vaccines. and he got these he's got these invitations to take it. and it took a lot of willpower to ignore. i ignored all those invitations. maybe that's why i'm okay. and this guy very sadly isn't because he listened to the system. and what a terrible indictment of the system. if you listen to it, this kind of thing can happen. what do you think, louis? >> i agree with you 100%. the nhs lied. i'm not going to take any pills ever again. and this is the thing. this was early. this was 2021. this is when they were giving out these medications towards the beginning of 2000. that's when they started. and all they this is from what i got . and you can
2:28 am
is from what i got. and you can tell me i'm wrong. but they had this batch. they said in a couple of days it's going to run out. so they gave it to this guy because they wanted to get rid of it, but they didn't think that this astrazeneca vaccine was dangerous because they were people were lied to. >> well, his family have said this is a quote from them. we believe part of the reason jack was not taken seriously at the hospital to begin with was because the safe and effective mantra had been repeated, so much to the point of it being gospel, that anything that went against this seemed offensive , against this seemed offensive, although you were somehow as though you were somehow wishing covid 19 on others, or you were being deliberately difficult. and that's how they felt. >> yes, it's called being lied to. the nhs . you know what? i'm to. the nhs. you know what? i'm gonnai to. the nhs. you know what? i'm gonna i can't be on this program because i'm just. i'm too extreme. >> no, but it does. >> no, but it does. >> am too i extreme to make you angry? >> this story, it is. it is horrible and really tragic. but luckily, i didn't take. >> i didn't take it either. >> i didn't take it either. >> i didn't take it either. >> i didn't, i didn't take it, but that's all we got time for in part two. but coming up, a woke shakespeare is cancelled. men campaigned for paternity leave and keir
2:32 am
welcome back to the headliners. let's get straight into it with the telegraph. and apparently the observer might be sold. so where will i not be reading it now? louis >> yeah, this is the guardian in talks to sell the observer to former bbc news chief. and this is, this is a very interesting story because i think it's, it's showing that the that the that the people who own the observer, which is the guardian and the guardian trust or whatever the
2:33 am
scotch trust thing, they're not doing that well and that the observer, which is published only on sunday because they're a bit lazy, they can't publish for the rest of the week. they they have only 105. don't laugh at that. they have only. are you laughing? >> no, i'm laughing at it, but not at the joke. i'm laughing that you said it. >> i can never tell with you. you just always seem like you're always so upset at me. like every other woman. and it's true. >> like maybe a pattern there. louis it's every other one. >> i guess it is. but i didn't mean it to make it. make her upset. this is the guardian and the guardian. the guardian had bought the observer about 30 years ago, and now they want to sell it for money for about £25 million. and to take it to maybe not make the loss that they were making . making. >> right. yeah. so i was laughing at like, can we i didn't mean to make upset. this is the guardian. it's like the transition they just threw me. go on. >> i just want to draw attention to this. >> george orwell described the observer as the enemy of nonsense. we're excited to show readers old and new that it still is. i don't think george
2:34 am
orwell would be reading the guardian in its current form, and feeling that way. >> no, indeed, he would be going, oh, my novel was bang on, and he'd be looking at the observer as he said it. i mean, yeah, absolutely shocking. and it does show you there was a time when the left wing media wasn't completely absurd. i remember, actually, let's take the iraq war marches. the left wing media were reporting it accurately that, you know, a million people were marching in london. meanwhile, the police were playing it down, actually. you're like, oh, they used to tell the truth sometimes, and now they're just what's happened to them? >> what's happened to them? they're on the they're on the team world side. click the box there . they take the drink. there. they take the drink. yeah. take a drink. they they are all all about preserving this whole thing of like, let's get rid of the, the indigenous populations of countries. let's destroy nations. let's have one nation, the sort of the german, french, american left nation and take over the world. >> so was it really about the left taking over the establishment? thus left wing papers became instead of challenging the establishment, they became about parroting its most absurd talking points. >> no, they are the
2:35 am
establishment , the guardian and establishment, the guardian and the observer. slash. no, you didn't say that. they're not parody. i thought that they are. they are the propaganda arm. >> oh, i see, i think it's even closer than that. it's even closer. >> and the fact that the bbc knew that a former bbc news director, okay, is buying and wants to buy the observer. he's a guy like a government employee, basically working for the bbc, and he's got enough money to, to, to, to do this. >> that's not they're probably all on a similar ideological spectrum. anything else on this? no, i think you nailed it. >> you've nailed that one. >> you've nailed that one. >> let's do the mail then, with a story about a midsummer night's dream , which reminds me night's dream, which reminds me of the famous quote, if we shadows have offended, cancel the play immediately. christopher. >> nice. shakespeare play is axed after director refused to remove pro transgender and pro—palestine references in new take on a midsummer night's dream. >> i went to see a midsummer night's dream at kew gardens this summer and it was brilliant and they didn't touch it. this summer and it was brilliant and they didn't touch it . they and they didn't touch it. they just left it as it is. and really, when you look at the plot of a midsummer night's dream, it's essentially about sexual assault. by today's standards. it's there's a lot of you mean bottom and all that.
2:36 am
yeah. giving people potions so they'll do things they wouldn't have done otherwise. that's. >> and i thought i was enamoured of an. >> yeah, exactly. exactly. >> yeah, exactly. exactly. >> and but they didn't. they didn't alter the script and it was brilliant. and i thought it was brilliant. and i thought it was really, really good, on the other hand, this director, stef o'driscoll, known for her work in london's royal court theatre, had a bit of an issue because she's put some very political stuff into her version. and of course, i would argue for her in that she can do whatever she likes. i'm for all creative, freedom . but there comes a point freedom. but there comes a point where like, well, is it still shakespeare then? yeah, his version definitely wasn't pro—palestine. >> yeah, i don't remember the pro—palestine pro—trans bit. you could say. yes, there's cross—dressing in shakespeare, but there isn't any of this sort of from the river to the sea. you know, i didn't know. ill met by moonlight, proud titania. from the to river the sea. that didn't. didn't happen. >> well, you know what? you don't. they don't say exactly where the phrase free palestine or where trans rights was in the
2:37 am
thing. so you don't know what it was. >> i think they added songs. i think there were songs. >> they're not even songs saying, why are there songs in there? does bottom do a song? >> i'd be wrong about that. but you know what? >> people are allowed to do anything. the great artists steal. you know, they're great artists. but the truth is, is these two things do not go together. trans rights and free palestine. i think the gazan people are not so gung ho trans rights stuff. how dare you queers for palestine is a legitimate movement. >> so even if it isn't, she's allowed to make something that's incoherent to you. sometimes you make things that are incoherent to other people. >> well, you know what? the people out there here might hear what i say because. >> so the management, the one thing i sympathise with is that they tried to shut it down after they tried to shut it down after the preview. they said, you've had all these months. and then they saw one preview and they sort of whoever was running it went, well, change all that. and they were like, well, no, it's too late. you could have changed it at any point when the director walked out and the whole thing just fell apart. >> right. well, you don't know what the real thing is. it might be that this is how they get attention for the play. now we're paying attention to this and we're all going to go to this theatre in manchester. >> it's totally going to watch it all together.
2:38 am
>> so cynical. >> so cynical. >> yeah. we're not going to let's do the telegraph and gps are only working 26 hours a week. i think i speak for all of us who mouth off about the news for a living. when i say lazy buggers, yes, i would say lazy buggers. >> and i didn't even read the story. it was too painful to me. theidea story. it was too painful to me. the idea that they were it wasn't too painful because i know what it's like to work 26 hours a week. this isn't just an individual person, but this could be this could be a what do you call it, a whole surgery, as they call it in this country is working, on average, each person they have a contract with the government, the nhs, to pay people to work for. i think it's 30 hours a week and they're being they're working 26 hours a week. but the truth is you don't need to go to your gp, you don't need to go to your gp, you don't need to go because your gp, obviously the gp doesn't want to see you because the gp doesn't have an answer to your question. you go with diabetes. they can't say to you stop eating sugar and just and just become a become healthy look at lou schaefer had diabetes, gout. i had plantar fasciitis. of course they don't want to work. who wants to work? what am i saying. >> no. well, i mean, i'm
2:39 am
surprised anyone does do it, to be honest. it's quite a hard job. and we're in a low trust society where things like giving blood have gone down. no one really cares. i'm quite amazed that anyone even is a doctor. but. but then again, they're working less than they used to. what do you think? >> well, when you hear about somebody avoiding burnout, the problem is that's very subjective, isn't it? and, you know, you immediately jump to, well, imagine what it was like for coal miners in the 19th, you know, how do you measure that? how do you measure whether or not it's an appropriate number of hours? i think it's very hard to say. but given that the backdrop to this is we're not having enough people seen by the nhs and there's people calling for pay increases to be linked to performance, it doesn't seem in very good taste. >> yes, but they only work three nights a week. but it's weird, louis, so you have to kind of adjust. it's like dog years. you have to kind of. they feel a lot longer, go on. >> so maybe that's what maybe that's what it is. the truth is, is that the is that most gp's can't do anything because because they don't have the right answers to these questions and because you're the pills and the things don't help. so of course they're burnt out. okay.
2:40 am
>> well i want to do this one in the guardian. and diane abbott has accused starmer of treating her like a non—person. what did she expect from keir starlyn? cressida. nice. >> thank you. diane abbott accuses keir starmer of treating her like a non—person , so this her like a non—person, so this refers to the period of time where she was. she was on suspension. she wasn't in the party. she'd been suspended for writing her letter where she said that people i think of irish and traveller descent, hadnt irish and traveller descent, hadn't experienced racism. they'd experienced prejudice. and this all backfired. and she was temporarily in a lot of trouble for that. and then frank hester, the conservative donor, came along and said, some really awful things about her. he said that when he looked at her, you just want to hate all black women and that she should be shot. terrible things to say. and she's now complained to newsnight that keir starmer didn't sort of support her enough. and maybe that's true, i don't know. but there's a bit of me that's like they were on a break because like, you know, it's not that she doesn't have support around her. she talks about her friends and everything. what do you think
2:41 am
should she have? >> my take is mixed. it's one she has said the letter was ill advised. i think they are sidelining her because that's not the direction the party wants to go. however, this guy is saying she should be shot. this is a colloquialism. we're all familiar with it. it's not literal. for diane abbott to then say, if someone was threatening to have you shot, you'd have thought your party would have offered you more support. he was in no way threatening to have her shot. that said, they could have said, are you okay or something? but he was not threatening to have a shot. that's silliness. but i do think they are sidelining it. no, it's ridiculous. >> the truth is, is that she was the keir starmer's opponent, jeremy corbyn's right hand person. and of course you're going to get rid of a, you know, get rid of her, whatever, whatever she said. so of course they don't like her. she didn't show up for that. she had some kind of there was a vote that she didn't even show up. remember the vote that they needed her to show up and she didn't show in parliament or something. she's incisive analysis. the people out there know i'm talking about. they didn't like her, they did not like her, and they don't like her. and this is a new labour
2:42 am
and they don't want her around. and this is this is the political system you have. are you going to vote for labour? you're going to get you're going to get labour. >> well then let's squeeze in this last one before the break. the guardian and men are campaigning for more paternity leave. but do they realise they'll be made to change nappies and stuff? >> louis, i first of all, i don't think that it's not even about that because this is a non—story. campaigners tie baby sungs non—story. campaigners tie baby slings to statues to call for a better uk paternity leave. and there's this group called dad shift and they're saying men don't get enough paternity leave. but the truth is, is that men don't want to go on paternity leave. they don't want to stay home with the kid. they don't want £104, £84 a week for two for a month. they don't want to. and women don't respect it. i remember the mother of my own children. she's telling me she didn't respect that. i stayed home to look after the kids. they don't want you to look after the kids. don't be fooled by this. stay at work. let the woman handle it. if the woman wants to be a boss lady to . and wants to be a boss lady to. and >> don't point at me and say, boss lady, this is a terrible error. i didn't mean for this to happen. yeah, i think it's nice
2:43 am
to see a protest where it's not. it's not extremely violent. it's quite a fun, good natured protest . they've made their protest. they've made their point very nice. >> okay, good. all right. that is it for part three. but coming up in the final section, could your club card tell you what to eat, job interview, red flags and will a pint of beer become a two thirds more decline
2:47 am
section of headliners. let's get into it with the telegraph and soon your tesco club card could tell you what you should be eating. don't they realise that's louis schaefer's job? chris o'shea. >> uk's biggest supermarket could urge shoppers to replace unhealthy purchases. can you imagine? so the boss of britain's biggest supermarket has said he's expecting to use artificial intelligence to monitor how customers are shopping to help nudge people to making healthier choices. how creepy is that, so he says , this creepy is that, so he says, this is ken murphy. he says, i can see it nudging you, saying, look, i've noticed over time that in your shopping basket, your sodium salt content is 250% of your daily recommended allowance. i would recommend that you substitute this. isn't that you substitute this. isn't that just the good news is it's laura dodsworth's next book, sorted. >> but the bad news? what if the what if the club card lewis gets two health conscious and starts saying grow your own, don't shop at tesco. haven't they thought about this? the club card could go too far and just go to aldi. it's cheaper. you know what i mean. once you give club cards, no, that'll never happen .
2:48 am
no, that'll never happen. >> it's tesco's. tesco's got 20 million people in britain. that's one quarter of the population having a club card you know. so there are kids who don't. you know what i mean. they this is this is so it'll never happen because the thing is because 90% of the stuff in tesco's is not appropriate for eating, the only thing that's appropriate for eating is the meat and the eggs and maybe and barely the milk, whatever. and the cheese. >> i would argue for the vegetables, but i know you're not into that . no vegetables. not into that. no vegetables. you want somebody to tell you to eat less salt, get a wife. i mean, it's so like people used to look after each other. no, seriously. there's evidence that couples eat better because they're kind of, like, gently shaming each other worse than a single man. >> i vouch for that one, but unless you like, i ate them . oh, unless you like, i ate them. oh, yeah, i wasn't. except for louis rafe, of course. who eats things with bleeding, louis. but what about. i was gonna ask you about one thing. oh, yeah, salt. this is a very anti salt, and it's bad for blood pressure, but i wanted to get your. i can't
2:49 am
believe i'm asking, but i wanted to get your take because i saw a tweet thread the other day saying don't believe him on salt. salt's good for you. >> what do you think i don't know? well, everybody needs salt. it's one of those things that when you have water, it makes water. water. otherwise water can be dehydrated. if it doesn't have the salt in it, it could be dehydrating. and the truth is, is that blood pressure, we don't know if blood pressure, we don't know if blood pressure is really bad for you. there are people who are very sick who got very high blood pressure, and people who are not sick, who are who are not sick and have low blood. >> yeah, yeah, you can have all the other signs can be good. >> and the truth about salt is, is it's not like it can lower your blood pressure slightly, but it may not. so you should just. you are so right to move on. >> but you've said the truth is so many times tonight, followed just by, you know, random things. but then let's do the times. and instagram is introducing restricted teen accounts because of all the creeps out there. louis, i don't mean louis came out instagram teen accounts to give parents more control. >> it's just the saying, you know you can control what your kids watch. if you grab a hold of their phone and have their code and are able to, like, change things, which means you're not going to be able to do it. this is this is this guy.
2:50 am
i've never heard of him, sir nick clegg, you've never heard of nick clegg? i have heard of him. >> i was wondering when you came to this country making a joke. >> but it's like he's up. he's up from the dead. this guy, nick clegg, and. and he's landed on his feet. he's working for. he's working for facebook. i guarantee you, he's making millions every year. >> i'm going to get disturbing, isn't it? >> it is disturbing. and instagram is part of the meta thing, which is facebook and whatsapp and what they what it is, is, is you don't know what the reason why they would say this, why they why facebook is instagram. >> sorry anything that's going to be seen to be doing something haven't they. >> it's the hot topic online safety bill's coming. make an effort lads. >> let's do the express and a list of warning signs. you should watch out for at a job interview. for example , if they interview. for example, if they let sex offenders work there. i mean, you probably just applied to the bbc by mistake. >> cressida employees list warning signs you should watch out for at job interview. this is good advice for young people who oh sorry sorry sorry .
2:51 am
who oh sorry sorry sorry. >> i mean something else during the show. >> sorry sorry, sorry. >> sorry sorry, sorry. >> professionalism is to me. when you could i was i was thinking about justin webb. >> he was. >> he was. >> i was thinking about headliners. yeah, i know, sorry. >> i'm so sorry to go on at home. >> it's about asking your employer what the conditions are going to be like at work. employer what the conditions are going to be like at work . at going to be like at work. at work. and the question should be, will your colleagues respect you? will they listen to you? >> yes. not here, sadly, but on this show. but yeah, there were some things, like one person mentioned the glassdoor reviews and how bad they were, and they ended the interview because they were so mad. that's a red flag, isn't it? >> no, because if a company says something that you don't like, you just say, well, i'm glad you told me that. if they say, you know, and red flags are like women, sometimes you look for a woman with red. >> oh, someone just took away the story. i wanted to do. i was going to do the name one, but it seems to have disappeared. >> we don't need to rush through all the stories. do you think they should disappear? 18 stories. >> what about this name on? can your name determine your job? it's in the guardian. >> yeah. this is also
2:52 am
ridiculous. it says that people who are named baker, carpenter and farmer are more likely to be bakers, carpenters or farmers . bakers, carpenters or farmers. maybe. maybe it has to do with your parents upbringing. maybe it has to do with the fact that it has to do with the fact that it gives you an idea of what to do. yeah >> by the way, my name just means son of richard. let's make that very clear. it was a scottish earl. yours means yours is german. weirdly so. which to me means steward or shepherd. yours means wet hill. maybe why you end up on a boat? we don't know. what do you think? >> oh, check that out. >> oh, check that out. >> 15 seconds. what do we think? >> 15 seconds. what do we think? >> what do i think? in 15 seconds? i've been reading about usain bolt. it's not his name. he had a very good coach. oh really? yeah, it's. i've been reading. you've got to read this book. reading. you've got to read this book . black success the book. black success the surprising truth. lord sewell . surprising truth. lord sewell. really good book. and you can be like usain bolt. we learned something right at the very end after all lewis's stuff. >> who knew? all right. thanks very much. we've got to look at the headlines before we go. so the headlines before we go. so the telegraph has thousands of pages of bombs, rocks , pages of bombs, rocks, hezbollah. and there it is, the guardian has hezbollah vows to strike back at israel after deadly pager attacks. the times

2:54 am
across east anglia, the midlands and the south—east, eventually reaching parts of east wales by the early hours. further north, we lose the cloud across northern scotland, but under any clear spells across scotland and northern ireland, as well as northern england, a few mist and fog patches could form by dawn, however, it's across southern parts of the country where we'll see the cloudiest skies away from the cloud. a chilly start once again with temperatures in the single figures, but under the single figures, but under the sheet of cloud a milder start compared with tuesday, albeit with grey skies. the clearest skies will be across northern ireland, northern england and much of scotland in sheltered spots away from main urban areas and away from hilltops . temperatures could be hilltops. temperatures could be as low as 3 to 6 celsius, and any mist and fog could last until 9 or 10 am. before disappearing. once the mist and fog does disappear, scotland, northern ireland, northern england sees once again a beautiful, sunny day, and across central and southern parts
2:55 am
through the afternoon , the cloud through the afternoon, the cloud will disappear back to the east coast, where it could linger in places. and then another sunny day is expected for the vast majority, 24 or 25 celsius possible in places feeling warm in the sun. but there'll be less sun around on thursday morning, a bit more cloud across eastern, central and southern england, as well as east wales. once again, that cloud should retreat back to the east coast through the afternoon, but in some places it could stick around for most of the day. friday, plenty of showers developing across england and wales, drier and sunnier further north. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on
