good for morale. i think there's an element of, you know, quicker communication and i really just think she's she's busting our fun. i've spent most of today working from home, and i am woefully underprepared. >> well. fair enough. yeah. well, isn't it like, 3 or 4 weeks ago, there was a front page story. the labour saying, we're going to let people work from home to sort out mental health so they not caring about mental health now. >> yeah. well i think i think for that you've got to remember steve with all this that's that would include politicians, politicians having to stick to their promises. that's true. >> darn it. i knew there was a flaw in my plan. yeah, that's exactly right. >> and so we always know they've walked it back. and no big surprises, really. >> yeah. i mean, is it better to. i don't i think generationally you two are of the young generation. i get patronising you. >> we are pushing it. but thanks. yeah. >> just the age but you got more hair is what i'm saying. oh, okay. too much. some would say the a lot depends where you're talking about, do you prefer working from. i mean, even i prefer working from home, but i realise, like without it, i barely speak to people. anyway, if i didn't go into an office,

i'd never to be network. >> i think there's a social element. so i'm a i'm a stand up comedian, so i absolutely prefer working from home because at least when people don't laugh, that's kind of to be expected. >> yeah, yeah. fewer hecklers. yeah. >> you had to work in an office. i'd prefer working at home so i don't have to work in an office, i think. get back to work. >> i mean, also on the front page. >> i mean, also on the front page . this is why broadsheet page. this is why broadsheet should never even try puns. if you can see the picture of keir starmer and the cat, the headuneis starmer and the cat, the headline is mr rules and mr mules . mules. >> terrible. what? just terrible. >> the picture of choice as well. he's trying to make him look like a bond villain. >> where's his other hand. because the cat's eyes have gone different ways. like a cat has seen some things. >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> he's doing a little vent act, isn't he? kind of. yeah. the poor old wait until it's been died and stuffed first. yes. anything else you want to tackle on the front page? so, reynobond rule breach over donor holiday . rule breach over donor holiday. >> what's particularly interesting about this story is adam. >> it is an interesting story i'd say so steve what do you make of it. >> no one read it. >> no one read it. >> no one i did. yeah this is well this is very interesting

because as this show will go on there's a lot of big stories that are covering about people basically taking money for, for free holiday . yeah. holiday is free holiday. yeah. holiday is that i wonder if that was one that i wonder if that was one that she was on doing the raving that she was on doing the raving that everyone was getting upset about. >> yeah, >> yeah, >> jonathan, what's on the front cover of the you know, we've done. jonathan. adam, what's in the front cover of the sunday express? >> yeah. so this is sunday express. this is embattled pm engulfed in rows over winter fuel cuts, freebies and in flight. and infighting is told by allies ditch toxic aid to end chaos. so those of you who might remember, sue gray is one of the is the aide to keir starmer. and she's been criticised in the past for being way too controlling , making sure really controlling, making sure really having enjoying her power trip, making sure everything goes towards, goes through her before it gets to keir starmer. she was actually accused during, it was accused in some of the riots where if they were actually unsure if these messages would even get to keir starmer because sue gray was being such a so bossy receptionist. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> doctor's receptionist. yes, exactly. nothing was going through. so yeah, i think , you through. so yeah, i think, you know, there's some infighting

currently going on at number 10. and understandably, there's people sort of saying maybe you should need a ditch and maybe, you know, that would be maybe having some heads roll, as it says in the article, might sort of ease some of this angst and animosity towards the labour party. well, i'm personally not completely sure sue gray exists. >> i think she might be keir starmer's tyler durden. i think she might be a creation of his own psyche. yeah, yeah, like, oh, sue gray made me do it. yeah. do you reckon she has great abs then. yeah, i've seen, i've seen, grey's abs with gutters. >> yes. tyler durden's only one who exists. the ed norton character is not real. really? yeah. >> no. >> no. >> what's ed norton's character's name for? >> bruce banner? >> bruce banner? >> no . exactly, exactly. there's >> no. exactly, exactly. there's only a tyler durden in it. >> oh. oh, so in the whole story. >> yeah, he's just known in the credits as the narrator, think. >> so keir starmer doesn't exist. >> ooh . >> ooh. >> ooh. >> front page of the sunday telegraph. jonathan, what you got there? >> yes. this is a fun story.

terror suspects waltz in on small boats as generic. so basically, dozens of terror suspects have crossed the channelin suspects have crossed the channel in small boats. robert jenrick the former immigration minister, has said so in this story. he's basically highlighted that there's been a lot of what he calls undesirables, people who have links to criminality or people who have links to terrorism that have been making their way into the uk via small boats. and obviously this is , you know, not obviously this is, you know, not a good thing at all because you don't want people who are linked to extremist terrorism coming into the country on any size boat, any. >> i mean, i'm not going to push back on that. i know my job is to give us ofcom balance, but, well, you know, there are some really good terrorists. i have to do that. all right. >> save it for your protest. but, yeah. no, i mean, it's not good at all. and he is, you know, an expert. and i guess this is a hole in, the defence of the country. and i think we need to do something. i want to slam the table, but it hurts, so. yeah. so i just think it's a it's a it's a real bad situation, gerry. it's a bad, bad situation. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it's no good. >> it's no good.

>> more and more intense. i can't remember the elton john lyrics . yeah, is there anything lyrics. yeah, is there anything shocking in this at all though? >> not really . >> not really. >> not really. >> nothing that we haven't already heard, my question is, you know, are they getting free swimming lessons? that's a that's a cool two a future story. some comedians do callbacks. >> that's a cool that's a cool forward. cool forward. avant garde. >> watch us half of this at this time. and then catches the other bit of the 5:00. absolutely. you're welcome. >> no. nice >> no. nice >> we got cracking. so do you want to see something else on the front page. >> well yeah it says pm has four weeks to prove he can govern. that's exciting. what happens? >> you should have done it in the last four weeks. >> exactly. exactly four weeks too late. that would have been the better one. >> yeah, and we can close it out. adam, with the star. tell us about this one. yeah. >> so the daily star with obviously the most important story of today out of this world, exclusive close encounters of the third kind. so this is a report saying i in 5 would save the pet instead of their mother in law. after an alleged alien invasion allegedly invasion. so yeah, it's no surprise. i think it's i think most people have terrible

relationships with their mother in laws. and i think most people have like, you know, prefer their sort of relationships with cats and dogs. and this just goes to show that, yeah, things aren't getting better. >> i don't think i'd follow my mother in law around with a plastic bag. >> if maybe you did, you'd be in her good books. >> well, it's not a book that i want to be in, if that's what i've got to do. so. i mean, but why not lie in this survey? this is a if aliens invade. well, in that case, i'm lying. whatever the answer is, i'm not telling you it's a conditional. >> it's not a lie. >> it's not a lie. >> it's a it's a conditional. no, i'm saying you're free to lie. oh, okay. conditional based on something that ain't going to happen. so why not win points with your mother in law? maybe this is anonymized. >> do you think the aliens are going to be friendly and not invade?i going to be friendly and not invade? i don't think there are auens invade? i don't think there are aliens at all. >> so not invading. >> so not invading. >> well, the fermi paradox is the fermi paradox that you know, if they're here, they're walking among us. i saw this lovely chap called david icke doing a talk about it. he seemed like a nice quy- about it. he seemed like a nice guy. didn't watch anything else he had to say, but apparently the lizards are among us. >> but there's never been a bit where the lizards have come up to me and said, choose your

mother in law or your pet. >> that's mars attacks, isn't it? great movie. >> is that why? yeah, i think so. all right, then, i've got to ask you the questions. mother in law or pet? >> i don't have a mother in law yet, but if i did, i'd definitely save her. >> you got any pets? >> you got any pets? >> yes, i do have. you have? >> i'd have to choose a potential future mother in law. she's lovely. >> yeah, i had a pet, but then some immigrants ate it. >> womp, womp. >> womp, womp. >> that's all we have time for. for this section. join us. el tel. oh, sorry. very fun. >> front pages sorted. in the next section, there's more bad news for pensioners and two stories about labour getting freebies they buy pubuchy buy publicity like they wouldn't buy it. they'd get some

welcome back to headliners with me stephen allen, him, jonathan kogan and other him adam koumas jonathan. the sunday telegraph. it seems like diane abbott is missing being suspended from the labour party. >> oh, you think she's going for

round two? yeah, it could be. okay. so starmer in the pocket of millionaires says diane abbott. so miss abbott, the veteran left winger and famed heartthrob, criticised the prime minister after a row over him accepting thousands of pounds for clothes from lord alli , a for clothes from lord alli, a labour peer and his biggest personal donor. so this follows on friday, where keir promised that he would stop taking donations for clothes now that he's in office and angela raynen he's in office and angela rayner, his deputy, basically made the same pledge. so labour have been like no more, no more. we're not going to take any more, we're not going to give any back. we're going to hold on to this. this is ours. but you know, we earned this, but we're not going to take any more, i never thought i'd say this, but diane abbott is one smart cookie. i agree, i think he is in the pockets from the millionaires, and i'm pleased to see that we're seeing the same level of greed and sleaze from labour as we do from the tories here. here. yeah, yeah. >> i mean, look, if you're going to be in a pocket, it's a billionaire's pocket. you want to be in a pocket. >> don't be in a homeless guy's pocket. >> gold lined and everything. yeah, i think it's really interesting about diane abbott.

i feel like she wouldn't be so critical if she was part of the cabinet. you know, she's not in cabinet. you know, she's not in cabinet. yeah, she's in the in the pantry instead. but it's just one of those things where. yeah, i just i think it's very interesting. i think like she would probably be toeing more the party line if she was selected, but obviously she's just collective responsibility thing, isn't it. >> like you, you get away with, you've got an excuse for not standing up and disagreeing because you're not allowed to, you know? yeah, you have to just all play the same game. >> you all get paid. >> you all get paid. >> yeah. i mean, but they keep saying that they weren't going to be bad for business. and everyone keeps worrying that labour was going to be bad for business. turns out they're good for business. >> very good. >> very good. >> if corbyn wants to get some clothes donations, i'm okay with that, i think. i think it could help. >> he's. yeah he gets all of his clothes from oxfam, doesn't he. does he or he donates all of his clothes to oxfam, one of the two. >> and then he gets them again. >> and then he gets them again. >> yeah, at least they've been washed. >> clothes and oxfam once. that's a great way to do your washing . donate your clothes, washing. donate your clothes, get them washed, go back in a couple of days later. >> yeah. buy them back from the old lady there. >> the system works. yeah. >> the system works. yeah. >> adam. the observer, our politicians have been given £o.7

politicians have been given £0.7 million worth of stuff, but i've got the tmo app, so i shop like a billionaire, so i win that one. >> yeah. and your shoes say otherwise, steve. >> oh, that's really slimy. >> oh, that's really slimy. >> i compliment them earlier. earlier? maybe we'll get them up to the end. yeah. so this is an ongoing trend throughout tonight revealed mps accepted more than £700,000 in free gifts and hospitality last year. so yeah, this is, a big story. so basically the labour party or the labour leader, keir starmer received more than £65,000 in gifts alone last year , including gifts alone last year, including new clothes, accommodations funded by millionaire labour peer waheed ali, they've also said in total, mps have found like lots of gifts , including like lots of gifts, including taylor swift tickets and helicopter rides. it just sounds like a fun time. yeah, politicians are the original influencers, aren't they? they really are doing things for money. i just such a silly thing . money. i just such a silly thing. i like how i liked how the tory party was trying to criticise labour for receiving gifts, and then it turned out they themselves have received

£359,000 000. >> they're both guilty. yeah, both guilty. and, apparently the gambling industry have spent more than £20,000 on gifts for mps over the last year. what incentives could they have to sweeten the mps? i don't know, no strings. >> absolutely. just it's a charitable thing i think so, yeah. >> the goodness of their hearts. what's the what's the solution here. just have all mps have to show their because i don't i wouldn't read it because i don't care. >> yeah. although i mean the expenses thing showed that they were on a different take a while ago and then that kind of got fixed and now it's moved from expenses to free gifts. right? yeah.i expenses to free gifts. right? yeah. i don't know. >> mps need to dip their hand in. that's all they want. they just want a bit of free money to get a little kickback, i don't know. >> well, then the solution you would say, would be to pay them more. >> but no, i don't like that ehhen >> but no, i don't like that either. yeah. scrap that. oh, god. >> it's all just what do we need? anarcho capitalism. >> all right, well, there you go. that was jonathan to the sunday express. we always hear about the problem of an ageing

population. but given credit where it's due, labour are fixing that with all the cuts to pensioners benefits. and they might do another. >> nice. yeah. labour are going to finish the job that covid couldn't. so. yes. oh god. rachel reeves unleashing war on pensioners as next blow in the pipeline. so the chancellor is believed to be, bringing in a shake up of pension tax reliefs, in the budget to help the government plug this disputed £2 billion black hole in the coming 22 billion. yes it is. it turns out . discrepancy, error. out. discrepancy, error. >> are you doing diane abbott maths. >> well yeah. i mean there was a black hole in my reading of this. so good news. it's been filled. so yeah, when someone turns currently when someone turns currently when someone turns 55, they can normally take 25% of their pensions without having to pay tax up to £268,000 limit. but now the labour government are being urged to cut that cap on tax free cash for those with the largest pension pot. so they basically they hate your rich grandparents. that's it. that's what it it's the politics of envy. they're going to take it all away. adam was saying

backstage that taxation is theft. i didn't really know what that meant. so i looked it up. i think i agree, i've been radicalised. >> yeah, you wouldn't know. you need to worry. you don't get paid enough to get taxed, jonathan. but yeah, that's true, bowling. >> yeah. but you're bowling. bowling? you're bowling out of control. >> no i'm not legally i'm not. i'm actually under the tax threshold. >> legally you're under 18, so you don't even have to. >> i'm 32. >> i'm 32. >> this, tax thing , it's not >> this, tax thing, it's not like it was around forever. >> so they would be revoking something that was not that long ago. it was a david cameron thing. >> and, you know, pensions aren't around forever either. >> you know, i mean, like, it's not as if it's been a riot for ages. you just couldn't take any money out of your pension until you retire. yeah. and at the time they, the newspapers were saying, oh, they shouldn't do this. it'll be they called it the lamborghini something or other, like 50 year old 55 year olds would all buy a lamborghini. have you noticed like a plethora of lambos everywhere? when you were the agitate stuff? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> although when i do see lambos being driven, it is always by 55 year olds and older. yes, the midlife crisis. yeah. so it's not saying every 55 year old is a lambo owner, but it says every lambo owner is a 55 year old. >> yeah, well, these guys need

to have their crisis. they need their money for blackjack and. it's unfair. >> show comes on at 5 am, jonathan. well, okay. >> fine. roulette and, whatever. it doesn't matter, but. yeah, just look, uncle sam, get your hand out of my pocket . touch my hand out of my pocket. touch my uncle, who's a there's a backstory there, but, i mean, look, you get the money out of the savings. >> it's good for the economy, i guess, if they're spending it. but it was three days ago. there was a story that no one's saving enough for their pension. yeah, well, this is people taking money out of pensions. surely you want them keeping the money in the pot and then claiming it when they get to pensionable age. >> that's a very fair point. but you're not meant to remember previous news stories. you're meant to be angry at this hour news cycle. >> you've got to get. >> you've got to get. >> you've got to get. >> you should just get angry about whatever's flashed in front of my face. now you're getting it. they're doing it, now you're getting it. >> oh, they're eating our cats, >> oh, they're eating our cats, >> to adam, the mail on sunday. more information to stop middle class people reusing the harrods bag with pride. >> yes , this is a very dark >> yes, this is a very dark story. so, yes, this is from the mail on sunday. the stark naked rendezvous in a mayfair turkish bath that saw the bbc's debonair ex royal expert strike a secret deal to protect his rapist boss,

mohamed al fayed guy adams investigates. so, yes, this is a very, maybe not surprising story, but it's now come out in the wash. i think people have always had always had, concerns about mohamed al fayed, and this is sort of this was raised probably first in 2008 and actually in the late 90s. i think this some of this was coming out. but as we all know, mohamed al fayed was a horrible man, disgusting man who was a sexual deviant, a predator, and as it's come out in the wash, assaulted and, raped a lot of his staff members. and so this is just another as if you didn't need another excuse to despise harrods. now you've got all the excuses you need. excuses you need. >> excuses you need. >> what i think is surprising is because there's been all these, as you say, allegations historically, and it's only really now coming to light. so why did it take so long for an injustice like this to come, come in, you know, to light. i mean, we've seen this a lot with the, you know, predators and historical offenders, and it just takes years and years and

years . years. >> yeah, but i suppose when someone dies, then legally, it changes the game, doesn't it? it means you can make claims without fear that the. are you dead ? dead? >> yes, yes. thank god. >> yes, yes. thank god. >> fair enough. >> fair enough. >> well researched that. jonathan. i'm glad you're on top of that story. >> it's such a long story. but they did call him a leathery billionaire, which i guess makes more sense now. phrase. >> yeah, yeah, you probably wouldn't get away with it. >> no, definitely not free rafe free priti. well, pre rape, nobody would have been. but now it's like, yeah, he was leathery. >> yeah. real leathery. >> yeah. real leathery. >> yeah. real leathery. >> yeah. that's not the biggest issue. jonathan the i it's hard to keep donald trump safe on a golf course. also not the first right wing leader to end up in a bunker. >> that's true. but that one killed himself. allegedly. okay, so i guarded trump for the secret service. it's impossible to keep him 100% safe. clearly. so a former agent who has protected donald trump on the same golf course where a gunman tried to shoot him reveals why the job is so challenging. and this is for reasons you might expect. so, on a golf course, for example, it's one of the most problematic areas to parole because it's a vast area of open

land, typically surrounded by many trees, all of which are good hideout spots for potential gunmen. and whereas urban areas, there's kind of you can control access more. but what i find so surprising about this is how quickly we've almost forgotten about the first assassination attempt, that i thought that was going to be the biggest news for the rest of the year. and, you know, with those kind of i guess, iconic photos. and then it moved on and then another one happened or tried to happen and no one was like, oh, yeah, we've done that. we've done that bit. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it's like clueless two. no one wanted to watch that. >> it's done. it's exactly the same as clueless two. i'm glad that that's the metaphor. i feel like such a bonehead. >> yeah, but it's because it doesn't have the photo. >> and media loves a photo. there's not that that moment, but also it's lesser than the first. and it's yes, news needs to build, doesn't it ? to build, doesn't it? >> we all know, you know, the rule with comedy is you need to up the stakes every time. >> so you reckon they should have planned that last one better? >> well, i think there'll be a third one. >> you think they will like. >> you think they will like. >> i hope there isn't. i hope

there isn't, but i think there probably there might be. wish him well. of course i wish everyone well. fair enough. >> i know i'm going to get some flack for being the, you know, brit who's having a go at guns. no one's watching. that's a big thing as well. do you know what in a nation where knives are your problem, golf courses are probably safer. >> yes, because they don't let people with knives in. >> they are. it's a nation that's got that sells weaponry, that's got that sells weaponry, that can shoot people at miles away. and then has space that's miles long, although within 500 yards. >> could you throw knives if you if you're in the carnival, if you're very well trained, you might might be able to i think you if you were given a choice and you'd pick neither. >> but if you had to pick one and you're golfing, which do you think you're safer from? the person with a semi—automatic rifle up in a tree or someone who's just, you know, spent some time on a hen night learning how to throw an axe, i'd be more worried about my dad's driving shot. >> it's so bad it might kill me. i don't know, i've tried to do a golf joke. i've never, never done it. but no, obviously. yeah, obviously the guns are give a give a much more . yeah. give a give a much more. yeah. guns are deadly range and yeah,

yeahi guns are deadly range and yeah, yeah i mean absolutely. and it's difficult and i think as we've seen with some of these instances, the secret service do have a real difficulty safeguarding the area. and yeah, it's just what can you do. what can you do if you could do joke about holes, that could be the key word. you're full of holes. >> we'll think about that later. >> we'll think about that later. >> he should fire his rough the. >> he should fire his rough the. >> yeah, well we've hit the half way point coming up. being bad guys, schools being elitist. and brexit is back

next. welcome back to headliners adam the independent p diddy used to be his name. now just a rather worrying question. >> yes. so this is from the independent sean diddy combs latest rapper put on suicide watch as he awaits trial behind bars. so yeah, this is obviously the news that sean p diddy was actually, a really horrible person and he's finally paying the price , what's interesting the price, what's interesting about the story is that he, his lawyers tried to get him on a $50 million bail. but actually, the judge ruled. they just said , the judge ruled. they just said, no, you can't. you're actually too much of a risk to society. we're going to put you. we're going to put you in jail. so, yeah, this is this is just a horrible story. and i think it's definitely shook. i think american culture, definitely american culture, definitely american rap to culture its core, and yeah, i think just general pop culture as well, because he was so instrumental in so many careers of pop stars

like bieber and yeah, so many. >> so i think there's a lot of stuff that's going to be coming out that's going to be pretty, pretty grim . it almost feels pretty grim. it almost feels like the kind of the, you know, the jeffrey epstein of music. really? >> yeah. well, he's been talking about jeffrey epstein. he's been placed on suicide watch. so, you know, if something happens to him that probably deserved it. but, you know , it's says that but, you know, it's says that according to the people magazine, diddy has been placed on suicide watch as a preventative measure . preventative measure. >> it always is, isn't it? yeah. it's the only way to it's never pro suicide watch, is it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it's. yeah >> it's. yeah >> it's. yeah >> it's like it's never retrospectively you never like give him a bunch of tools like oh we're watching him now. see if he does. >> it really feels like the most useless sentence that's ever been written by a journalist. >> my only regret is that i never got to go to one of his freak parties not to do anything illicit, but just, you know, thousands of bottles of baby oil hidden in his house. >> think of the slip n slide he could have done all right. yeah. why that much, though? >> that is the thing of the savings, steve. that's the problem. >> but i'm also thinking about, like, what if there's a house fire? >> that's true. but doesn't the price of oil go up or something?

you store it. yeah. >> maybe baby oil slide out. >> maybe baby oil slide out. >> yeah. i mean, it's just. look, i'm glad we took that story seriously. >> it started off thinking we'll be really respectful about this. and then , of course, it's just and then, of course, it's just not a well, society. >> steve. that's true. i blame the parents. >> jonathan. the sunday telegraph nick clegg says the uk is doing well in tech. remember that the next time you're swearing at a self—scan till i actually prefer swearing at the cashier, >> brexit britain winning tech race with eu, admits clegg. so sir nick clegg, which is short for nicholas clegg, has admitted that brexit britain is beating the european union union in the race to develop new technology. so good news, we're doing it. it was all worth it. so the former deputy pm, who was an arch remainer , has said that the eu remainer, has said that the eu risks falling behind on new tech because of its incoherent red tape. so a senior eurosceptic has claimed that his remarks showed that even europhiles are being forced to recognise the advantage of leaving the trading bloc. so i think generally speaking, especially in really fast moving areas like tech,

over legislation and regulation can really , really slow can really, really slow development, especially when you're competing with foreign nations. like this story is mostly about al and meta. we want to be the first, or we want the west to be the first to develop agi. otherwise we're all screwed. and, yeah, but also because it is al. if we are making, you know, 4000 i0 demigods, maybe a little bit of it's important to have regulation. yeah, yeah, yeah , yeah. >> i mean it feels like the argument to not have restrictions and requirements to, you know , safety measures on to, you know, safety measures on al is because well china will do ai is because well china will do it quicker. yeah. so we've got to do it as haphazardly as china sort of though sort of. >> it's like you've got to be like basically the first one to do it. have you seen watchmen? right. yeah. and they're like, the superman exists. he's american. it's that you need him on. you need the agi first. >> otherwise i was put off by the scenes where he doesn't have trousers on. >> oh, the massive. yeah, i like the blue. >> i was indifferent, you didn't. >> you were indifferent to it, okay? he just seemed cold. >> he seemed bigger. he will

watch the watchmen. so. yeah. so i think. look what do we think? too much regulation crushes , too much regulation crushes, innovation, innovation and businesses. but also when it's an important thing, you need it. you need a bit. you need a balance. i like to live dangerously. >> he's chalking it up as a win. but i think we have to remember that he does work for facebook. seven forgiving you about the tuition fees. nick clegg don't worry though, in the future no one will need any education. >> that's true because the ai is about to create. but then you're moaning about, you know, red tape being tricky to get your ai tape being tricky to get your al to fill it in these days. it does that the gpt can do like a law degree. >> yeah, it can do the lsat. it can do everything. yeah. it's coming for all of you. you guys don't realise it. all of you. >> as if it's not coming for you.so >> as if it's not coming for you. so you're the special one. >> comedy. comedy is the last bastion of truth. i am irreplaceable, my mom said. yeah. >> adam. the observer. what does it take to get into a grammar school if you're jonathan, the removal of that restraining order. but what else? >> yeah. so this is when the observer grammar schools in england must publish details on entry tests. a tribunal rules. so yeah, this is an interesting

and i think so yeah. grammar schools in england have been ordered to publish details about their admissions tests, which campaigners say will expose them to greater scrutiny and potential legal challenges. so i don't know if you guys , steve, don't know if you guys, steve, you give me you struck me as if you give me you struck me as if you maybe you did go to a grammar school. you know, i always tell people, get this weird vibe from me. >> no, i went to the worst comprehensive in the area. really? yeah. i nearly got uni, went there. >> so you'd be the smartest. >> so you'd be the smartest. >> no, i honestly, was it was the second dumbest up until. >> i do not believe that unless you went to a very no smart school. >> no, my background is i still can't really spell or add up or anything, but all of a sudden when they started testing other stuff, i made it look like i could, you know, oh, i know, so this this is interesting because i think it's you know. >> yeah. grammar schools, they've always been held in high esteem, haven't they really. because it's like it's for the good kids. it's for the smart kids. and i think it does put a lot of children who are 11 years old sort of under a lot of pressure. you know, it's a very intense it was very stressful, you know. yeah did you, did you take some of the tests? yeah. >> well, our exam was for my school basically they got all

the applicants and they just put one biscuit in the middle. then we all gathered around. >> i see where this is going. >> i see where this is going. >> then we did a test on narnia. oh, okay. >> a different thing, i think of eton. sorry. yeah. >> eton mess. >> eton mess. >> i think this is good. i think that they're going. i think this is good. i think i think this is, only a positive step if they're going to have greater scrutiny because also, we don't know. it's like one of the things i liked about this article, they sort of said, that this some of the marking was shrouded in secrecy, as if it was some big deal and ancient runes. yeah, ancient runes. but then on a serious note, it could be hiding some sort of prejudice. and i think if it's all out in the open, maybe it's all out in the open, maybe it's a bit more fair, a bit more meritocratic . yeah. meritocratic. yeah. >> i mean, if it is out in the open, the daily mail once a year will run a story where they go. could you pass the ii will run a story where they go. could you pass the 11 plus and they'll do the like they do the gcses. >> yeah. which a lot of their readers couldn't. it's a bit sassy i like it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah i quite enjoy that every, you know every so often a couple of questions from a gcse. ihave couple of questions from a gcse. i have a little read through them. absolutely nail it and move on with my life. yeah, it feels like. yeah, it just feels like a little win. yeah.

jonathan to the sunday telegraph and travel bloggers are being nice about china. well, no one likes life in prison . likes life in prison. >> tell that to diddy. okay, so british travel bloggers sugarcoating china's uyghur problem for the delight, to the delight of beijing. so in the heart of xinjiang, the chinese region where more than i million uyghurs are believed to be detained in re—education camps, where journalists, if they go, they're harassed and heavily monitored, but youtubers and travel bloggers and, you know, you're sort of your average person is going there and they're being allowed in because they're being allowed in because they seem to be making kind of positive content, which the chinese government are very happy about because it's great pr, now i read this article, and what's interesting is some of these bloggers are saying we're just showing what we see. we're not lying . this is you know, not lying. this is you know, what? we're what we're seeing. we're putting out there. this is obviously a western smear campaign that's happening to, you know, create this story , you know, create this story, which i think is, you know, mad , which i think is, you know, mad,

but someone's not getting ianed but someone's not getting invited to china. >> no, ijust invited to china. >> no, i just i was just >> no, ijust i was just thinking that i'm never going, but, you know, i've always thought you needed to be re—educated. >> i think to be educated for the first time, yeah. so, i mean, i don't know, i think these people are just most likely not seeing the bigger picture or they're being very selective because they know they're going to get in trouble if they show what's actually happening, which seems to be a complete violation of human rights. >> yeah, well, i love the idea, steve, of them saying, you know, we're only reporting what we see and they're probably going like this henri paul what we see, i do think what's really interesting is there are some youtubers in fairness, who did actually, maybe call up some of the problems with china. and they were showing it and they found most importantly, this affected views, i.e. their bank balance, their bottom line. so basically this is organically happened because in the article it says china isn't directly endorsing it. it just seems to be it seems to be overwhelmingly positive. and what they found out is more positive videos gets more views, means they get more money. so that's all you think it's basically worshipping the

algorithm, worshipping the algorithm. and also they want to get invited back to china and get, you know, maybe they want to get, you know, the keir starmer treatment. yeah >> but i would have thought that like an expose would get the most views, like, look how look how messed up this is. >> but you've got to do an expose of any real depth. you've got to be, you know, smart and a lot of youtubers. >> yeah, yeah, they're just not the thing you look at the story, you go like, oh no, you can't trust what randos on youtube. >> yeah, 100%. >> yeah, 100%. >> yeah. i probably didn't expect that they were going to go and do that. >> but that's how i learned the earth is flat. >> exactly. that's the problem. it's algorithm based isn't it? i suppose part of it as well is just because so many viewers are based in china, if you want to. they allowed youtube. >> i thought youtube was blocked. >> is it one of them that's blocked? >> i don't know, i get confused, i think it is, but maybe maybe you can access it through a vpn or something. >> okay, well well if it's vpn it can't be making that much of a difference. >> i think it's more just outside. outside, like other people viewing china in a positive way. >> maybe i should do a quick video on the way home reviewing how great china china is. >> yeah, yeah, but yeah, so the

journalist should be the ones going in and actually doing it. >> yes. >> yes. >> but they're the ones getting harassed and censored. so. and also their youtube channels are pathetic. journalist. why don't they pretend to be some annoying travel vlogger like a ten year seesahai op? >> and then halfway through actually journalist the whole time? >> yeah, but they're the worst people i was on holiday. >> journalists or youtubers, instagram people , basically the instagram people, basically the same people these days. >> they're the worst people instagram me and the missus were on holiday and we saw someone in in. i can't even remember where it was now, but she was just in the way, having her friend take lots of pictures of her, like leaning in front of the view like, oh, you are, what's wrong with the world? >> yeah. did you push her off? >> yeah. did you push her off? >> no. it's going to go to china and just say that she tweeted something bad about the uyghurs or something, adam, the mail on sunday is a straight, white cis male. this story is worrying. i'm not even right handed. i've got no hopes. yeah, so this is, from the daily mail. >> shocking anti—white bias of taxpayer funded help service, which fired brave staffer who stood up to non—binary bully, and i read i read the next sentence because it's quite funny. let's see if we can play

woke bingo and we'll get, every time a ding. every time one of the woke words is on a taxpayer funded office set up to help vulnerable canadians, bing ding ding has an anti—white ding ding ding has an anti—white ding ding ding biased and hired non—binary ding biased and hired non—binary ding ding ding lawyer who helped bully out his non staffers. so yeah, this is obviously we've seen this before where sometimes in some industries or institutions set up to help every person , everybody equally every person, everybody equally gets somebody comes in in this case this non—binary lawyer. and then suddenly, slowly, but surely, the place becomes ideologically captured , which ideologically captured, which maybe it matters. maybe it doesn't , but it always ends up doesn't, but it always ends up that it does matter because it actually ends up affecting and harming people who have legitimate concerns. in this article, they were promoting the idea that people should be treated differently on the basis of their identities, which actually goes against everything that even martin luther king stand for stood for. >> so, oh, you're so old school thinking martin luther king's the relevant. >> yeah, that's true. quoting martin luther king's now like a right wing talking point. >> oh is he.

>> oh is he. >> oh is he. >> oh yeah. yeah. yeah. this basically seems like another bureaucracy set up with good intentions now running amok. and you know, the long march through the institutions. i heard andrew doyle said that once. so now i say it maybe every couple of weeks. >> yeah. no one knows what he means by it, but it sounds, you know, he's clever, so. oh, yeah. >> yeah. he's a big brain. >> yeah. he's a big brain. >> he's one of them, isn't he. yeah.i >> he's one of them, isn't he. yeah. i mean it's also. yeah you're right. canada >> yeah. they're gone. that country's gone. they are. god bless them. >> one of the worst. >> one of the worst. >> they're the canary in the coal mine. >> i can't go back after i went to the trucker protest. >> the. and what did you do at the trucker protest? >> well, i drove i drove a truck and i chanted and i, i got trudeau in a rear naked choke, and i choked him out. oh, because i'm sticking it to canada. >> he was wearing blackface at the time, wasn't he, trudeau? >> oh, me both. oh, yeah. >> oh, me both. oh, yeah. >> in the final section, the 90s are back. swimming is for you. and a fatty if you

welcome back to headliners jonathan the sunday times. we should be kind to the obese. give them some flowers or chocolates. it's chocolate. they want chocolates. >> they want chocolates. yes. they're taking the augustus gloop approach here. so the council pushing a compassionate approach to obesity. so a labour classic council in one of the countries most obese areas has adopted a compassionate approach to weight loss that rejects specific exercise and nutrition goals. you know, the one thing that can actually help with weight loss . so doncaster weight loss. so doncaster council says it respects the inherent diversity of body shapes and sizes, and it wants to take away blame on overweight individuals and dismiss the premise that being a certain way equates to being unhealthy. so taking a very scientific approach here, and they're adopting an anti stigma , adopting an anti stigma, non—judgmental approach, even though 72% of adults in doncaster are overweight and 90% of the ones i've slept with. >> and so it's also this here in

doncaster . doncaster. >> in doncaster. yeah, yeah, i'm a legend in donnie. i mean , this a legend in donnie. i mean, this is actually much kinder than their last approach, which was get the fattest kid they could find and whip them with a wet towel. so i think it's, you know, it's a step in the right direction. >> is it? adam >> is it? adam >> is it? adam >> i genuinely think it is. and i do genuinely think. and here's my reasoning for this. i feel like we've done the scientific approach . we've done the eat approach. we've done the eat less, move more, we've done all these other approaches , and these other approaches, and people are still struggling with their weight . so i think let's their weight. so i think let's at this point, we're just using the rule of odds. let's try something different. maybe let's try being compassionate, let's not criticise them. and then maybe that will help. and then if in ten years it still hasn't worked, then we realise this is also a failure. but the current status quo isn't working. let's try something else. >> well, i agree that shaming people for being fat definitely doesn't work. no, no, but the idea of like, compassion needs to go with no advice at all. like we'll give you compassion and we'll just keep feeding you because that's what you need a happy medium. the thing is, though, they're not a medium. >> they're a happy meal.

>> they're a happy meal. >> i do think, though, i do feel like anyone who struggled with weight and i've struggled with weight and i've struggled with weight in the past, i was going to say thank you. but i do think it's people are overweight. they are aware of their weight. they're always there, always. they're always there, always. they're always there, always. they're always aware. no one's like, if you call someone fat, they're not going, really. they're like, i know i'm trying not to. i'm trying to forget about it. i think what needs to happen with people who are overweight, they need something to click in their head and they kind of go, right, i'm going to finally make a change and then use the tools and resources available, which i think in this defence of this council, they have said they're going to try and create an environment that can help foster that. so i think maybe this is me being wishy washy. maybe this is me being too liberal. but i do think let's be let's try compassion and let's see if this works. >> i say get some ozempic and go for a run. >> you chunker just for a run. >> you chunkerjust like in blow darts as well. even not that they're choosing to take it just. yeah, and all of a sudden everyone up there gets thin. yeah. adam, the i. some african migrants have a fear of the sea because of the terrifying journeys they've made. but in the uk, we had tv ads with rolf harris promoting swimming. so we've all suffered.

>> yeah, absolutely. so this is from the inews. how swimming lessons are helping african migrants overcome trauma, so this is a story about migrants, from africa who've actually sort of channelled over and landed in spain and madrid and places like that. and it's been quite, traumatic for them because obviously, seriousness, when you are coming over illegally on a boat , it can be quite boat, it can be quite treacherous, a lot of , how do treacherous, a lot of, how do you know? well, from the studies, something you want to share? adam? yeah. i came in on a boat this morning, and you're going away on one. but. yeah, it's what's kind of interesting is they are obviously a lot of them have sort of had loved ones who've died and everything else. and yes, there's an argument that you shouldn't really be coming over in the boats. however, some of them, if some of them are children, they are traumatised. if they're getting free swimming lessons from this charity, maybe that's a good thing . however, i don't think we thing. however, i don't think we should be encouraging people making the journey because there is a legal process. there's a way to come over here to any country safely through the right processes, and that avoids the

need to do free swimming lessons. >> no one's going to make the journey because of the free swimming lesson at the other end. i don't know. >> i mean, it depends how how comprehensive they are really, really good lessons, i don't know, i mean, the whole thing is just it's kind of it's tragic. >> and then it's just like, oh, don't worry, i'll teach you to how swim, though. it's, you know, it's not great, >> jonathan, the metro, the 90s are popular again, but it was a very different time. oasis were gigging, we had a new labour government and the bbc news featured huw edwards. wait a minute. no, i see it now and things could only get better, >> why are we so obsessed with the 90s and 2000 right now? so basically, there seems to be a cultural trend for 90s culture and 2000 culture coming back up. and there was a great time, you know, pre 9/11, it was a simpler time, i think it was just, you know, but we had ladettes we had men getting drunk and we had nuts magazine that i used to steal from the pe teacher's lounge. yeah. i think part of it is this was we're living in uncertain times now, and people have a hankering for those simpler days. i actually saw in

one story that tamagotchis were being brought back. i don't know if you saw that they've opened the first tamagotchi shop, and i thought, nice try , mossad. nice try. >> yeah. so i think , adam, do >> yeah. so i think, adam, do you remember the 90s fondly? and are you enjoying reliving it now ? yeah. >> i mean, well, i sort of came. i was i'm a 90s kid. i was born in 92. i think, like, the reason why we're having a lot of this nostalgia. because i don't know about you guys, but i'm in a lot of pain. so it's like the, the financial, the cost of living crisis. i think a lot of people are in pain. a lot of people are feeling the hurt and they are going back to being transported back to their childhood, where times were simpler, at least seemingly. but probably because they were children. they'd have to worry about it. >> that's probably it just we were kids. we liked it. it was a look. we were mad for it. we're having a mad one. we were at the vmas doing class a's, but it was pre—aids. it was pre—covid time. all of these things, pre—world war two in the 90s, you think like, oh, we were mad for it. >> you weren't that mad for it. trust me, if you went to university in the 90s, i had a capn university in the 90s, i had a capri sun and i went mental. it

was good times. well the show is nearly over. let's take another quick look at sunday's front pages, the mail on sunday goes with sir. shameless is at it again. sunday times fired, charged twice over sex abuse charges. the sunday express ditched toxic aide to end chaos sunday telegraph terror suspects waltz in on small boats, says jenrick and the sun on sunday strictly bounces back with zara. oh good. and finally , yes daily oh good. and finally, yes daily star sunday close encounters of the fur kind and those are the front pages. that's all we have time for. thank you, my guest jonathan and adam. we are back tomorrow at 11:00 pm with simon evans. carrie marks and paul cox will be getting together to do it. if you're watching at five, stay tuned. breakfast is on the way next until the next one. have a good one. that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello there. good evening.

some of us certainly entered astronomical summer with a bang. we've seen a few thunderstorms around across southern areas today , and there's the today, and there's the continuing chance that we see a few of those pushing across central into parts of wales might clip into the far south of northern ireland as we head throughout the evening. we then got a second pulse of thundery rain pushing its way into the far south of england. as we head towards dawn on sunday morning . towards dawn on sunday morning. quite muggy and humid in amongst all of this as well. temperatures not dropping too far at all, but it will be chillier for the northwest of scotland. underneath the clearer skies here might see a touch of frost in some very sheltered areas. and for scotland, sunday is certainly one of a east west split. the best of the sunshine will be across those western areas. quite a nice fine start for lewis and harris. the highlands, argyll and bute, as well. but the clouds still lingering along those eastern coastal areas , maybe with some coastal areas, maybe with some drizzle around at times it will try and burn back a bit as we head throughout the day. northern ireland seeing some sunshine during the afternoon as well. but for much of wales central southern areas of england, this band of rain will be steadily pushing its way northwards with some very heavy

pulses possible. and there is a rain warning in force throughout the day. so do take care if you are travelling or out and about. some disruption is certainly possible . again, it is going to possible. again, it is going to be quite warm and humid even amongst all this rain. so temperatures where you do start to see some of those sunny spells emerging into the afternoon could still see highs around 20 or 21 c. 18 to 20 c is certainly also possible for the likes of oban and fort william. places in the western scotland. this area of low pressure that's bringing that rain on sunday is going to become quite slow moving on monday as well, and so there's potential for further heavy rain around at times. there's still some uncertainty just in regards to the exact placement of this rain, so it's worth keeping up to date with the forecast. but another rain warning is in force throughout much of monday. again, some disruption, surface water issues and spray on roads is possible, generally drier further towards the north, but you'll start to see some of that rain pushing into the far north of scotland, and that heralding a slight change as we head over the next few days. things turning cooler with a northerly wind setting in by a brighter outlook, with boxt
