2:05 am
guys. any had any freebies lately? >> yeah. well, this this jacket was actually bought from me by a millionaire. >> really? what did he spend the rest of the money? >> it was nearly £50 from tk maxx. i can show keir starmer how to shop on a budget if he likes. >> other budget outlets are available. steve, any freebies? >> no, the opposite of freebies. i when we did the mash report, which was my bbc thing, i was the only idiot who turned up wearing a suit for the character and then wardrobe took it afterwards. so i bought the bbc afterwards. so i bought the bbc a suit legend. >> all right, well, we do want full disclosure and i should say this show is coming to you live from lord ali's flat. so there's full disclosure. let's have a look at the sunday's front pages, then. the sunday times has israel strikes huge blow but braces for revenge. the sunday express kemi's vow to stop the boats . the observer iran boats. the observer iran threatens vengeance over hezbollah's chief assassination. chief's assassination. the sunday telegraph labour mp quits over freebies scandal as rosie duffield , the sunday people uk duffield, the sunday people uk cops join in p diddy probe and finally, the daily star sunday
2:06 am
beware spiders in your grundies and those were your front pages . and those were your front pages. all right, let's kick off with the sunday times, i believe. steve. >> yeah, we're going with israel strikes huge blow but braces for revenge netanyahu says hezbollah leader's death settled score a full blown war. fears. of course that's mentioned. that's what everyone's worried about. look, i think it's definitely true that a lot of the decisions being made are more about domestic for politics netanyahu, however, there's a part of me that wishes i could find more to complain about. i view it, there's two ways to look at it. what would happen if the uk received like 6000 missiles? we'd have a word about it. and also what happened with george w bush after 9/11 did say we will go after not just the terrorists, but anyone who harbours them. we consider you to be the same as the terrorists. >> we're going to get them, folks. >> yeah. and that we kind of we're viewing it a bit differently, but it's kind of the same is it is that not what's happening here? >> you're asking the wrong guy.
2:07 am
but leo is an absolute expert. >> well, i think i mean, this is a real strategic masterstroke. i mean, the pagers and the walkie talkies, remember ? they blew talkies, remember? they blew those up. so then that disrupted communications within hezbollah and also forced them to meet at and also forced them to meet at a place. and israel have have intelligence operatives operating throughout hezbollah. they're completely compromised, probably in iran as well . and so probably in iran as well. and so they knew where they were going to meet. they got tipped off, i don't think anybody in hezbollah can trust anybody else in hezbollah. not that there's many people left, certainly not in the in the leadership because they got blown up. i mean, tragically, there were civilian casualties as well, but, but yeah, i mean, this is really netanyahu. it might have saved his bacon. he was really unpopular in israel, and possibly facing prosecution for whatever war crimes or whatever at home in israel. so he needed something that would that would be an incredible victory, that he could then parade in front of
2:08 am
the people. and this is it. i know, i know, there's a lot of talk about, about hezbollah or iran hitting back, iran have just presented nothing. burger after nothing burger. they're going to fire some rockets that are easily shot down by israel defences as a sort of, you know , defences as a sort of, you know, oh, we're you know, we're going to smite you from the from the earth, the great satan. but hezbollah completely, kaput as an organisation. now it's going to take them months, if not years to become, to, to become operative again . and, and iran operative again. and, and iran are going to going to do nothing. so this is, this is really possibly quite a good outcome for for, israel. although i could be wrong, we could be heading into a bloody world war iii. >> yeah. it's nothing all world war ii. those are the two main options. you're right, there is iran. seems to they just sort of make a lot of noise. and they say, we've won that. totally smashed it. they didn't. they didn't really do anything. it does seem that way to the layman. yeah. i don't know anything else to add, steve. >> no, ijust anything else to add, steve. >> no, i just like the idea that actually that bit of it, of not really achieving much, but
2:09 am
saying, well, that settles that score we've won is probably the only way to like end wars is for people to be in denial and go like, well, we'll take that as a win then what you just got your we'll let them save face if they don't blow up the whole world. >> yes. yeah. all right, all right. what about the sunday telegraph, leo? >> so the sunday telegraph of, bofis >> so the sunday telegraph of, boris interestingly says i'm no longer sure medieval lockdowns defeated covid. yeah, i wasn't sure in 2020, but but yeah, it's good to see other people coming on board, but the story we're going to cover the guy that did the lockdowns though to be fair, he kind of it's a bit late like he's saying. >> i'm not sure about that now guys, but i think i think he it wasn't him pushing for, for lockdowns. >> he's quite a libertarian prime minister. yeah i mean i think he was pushed by everybody else, every single other person in the uk, wanted, wanted lockdowns. yeah. except for except for me and you. but yeah, the story here that's more interesting than boris, regretting his decisions. is kemi badenoch saying that not all cultures are equally valid when it comes to immigration, and failing to recognise that is naive. this is what kemi
2:10 am
badenoch has said in, in an article in the telegraph. but they've done an article about her article to get more, more mileage from it, i guess. so the tory leadership hopeful says it's naive to think that migrants will abandon their ethnic hostilities when they come to britain or their hostilities to us in a lot of cases, you know, the people who blow up pop concerts and stuff. i mean, i think they're i mean, we see fights between, you know, various sects, i think hindu versus muslim in leicester. but there's also, people who want to fight us. >> sorry. who the good ones are then, because i'm guessing she's pro nigerian immigrants because she kind of is one. right? but, i mean, she was born in britain technically. then she lived in nigeria until she was 16. so does she sort of rank them for us? >> yeah. well, there's two, two levels of this. of course, the headune levels of this. of course, the headline only gives you half the story. so not all cultures are equally valid. that's a bit harsh. and then the actual story is equally valid when it comes to immigration. oh that's a different question isn't it? it's answering a different question about how you can have assimilation, how cultures can work together . that's it's a work together. that's it's a good point, but the way it's been written here is like, oh,
2:11 am
who do you hate the most? >> even blair was saying something similar recently, wasn't he was saying, oh, well, when i was there, it was all high skilled doctors from europe. now it's just anyone. that's basically what he was saying. >> yeah. no no, it's people who aren't high school doctors. but we're still told that they're high school doctors and engineers were being gaslit by the people insisting that we keep our borders open and we're seeing, you know, customs that were never seen in britain before. you know, 100 years ago, there was no female genital mutilation in britain. well, there might have been some, but not, you know, not the, not not the stuff we see now, you know, suicide bombing, you know, stabbing people because they're infidels. that wasn't traditionally, a british custom. but one thing she says, she kindly says , i'm struck, for kindly says, i'm struck, for example, by the number of recent immigrants to the uk who hate israel. that sentiment has no place here. have you met left wing people like young left wing people and some of the older ones as well? but so many young left wing people just think israel should be wiped off the map because it's a european colonial settler nation for some reason. >> well, because they saw a tiktok for other reasons .
2:12 am
>> well, because they saw a tiktok for other reasons. i'm just going to i'm going to do that joke. go on. steve anything else on this? >> no, just i mean, i take the point, but i don't think i don't think the students on the protest are necessarily like, i've done so much research and this is my opinion. it's kind of like, oh, this is what we all think on campus these days. >> yeah, but not everybody who supported hitler had, you know, read mein kampf. they still support it. >> i'm not saying it's good, but, you know, i just think it's they saw an instagram thing. >> we've got to move on. one quick note is that it also has the rosie duffield story, but we're getting to that in part two because it's about how awful starmer is. so we want to give that the time it deserves. what about the sunday people steve sunday people uk cops join p diddy probe, which i believe is one of the things he had at the party. >> that's why you need all that. bebe. look, so there's two parts to this. there's the actual news, which is terrifying and horrible. and so police, uk police getting involved. officers have teamed up with the us to investigate why he was flying over here. claims he might have been attacking women here. he loved being in the uk, apparently. but there's also the part of it where you get to talk about how they found thousands of bottles of baby oil, which is a funny part of the story. as
2:13 am
someone in his thousands of babies, that's the thing. as a baby, there's as someone who's got a baby. i don't even use baby oil. but if i did, you wouldn't buy that much. there's an upper limit of how old they'd be when you stop using it. you don't want to get into their late 30s before you run out. the only. the only reason you could need that much baby oil is he's also been accused of , like, also been accused of, like, human trafficking. and maybe it was the women ordering it. because if there's one way to try and get away from him, it would be to be that slippery, because there's that video of him chasing a woman down the hotel hallway. if she was like , hotel hallway. if she was like, grabbed her and she would have shot out like, liquor. >> yeah, like soap in the bath. isuppose >> yeah, like soap in the bath. i suppose the other reason is if you're running a black market, baby oil sales operation, you're just importing and exporting an awful lot of baby oil. i've not really followed the story, but it sounds disturbing. >> and it also sounds like he's got a lot of boots advantage points with that many bottles of baby oil. but yeah, i mean, this is this is huge. it's unravelling. it's sort of like epstein island, the epstein client list. except we're actually finding out who's on it. they're releasing it instead of instead of burning it in a
2:14 am
satanic ritual . so justin satanic ritual. so justin bieber, there's, you know, quite really unsettling videos coming out of p diddy daddy, puff daddy, whatever he's called , daddy, whatever he's called, with justin bieber when he's 15, with justin bieber when he's15, you know, saying you know, really kind of corrupting things to him. apparently there's a lot of east coast politicians, new york politicians who are involved as well. so these are all allegations, right? >> to be clear, just my job allegations, wild speculation. >> but the justin bieber thing that's , you know, there really that's, you know, there really is a video of justin bieber. >> you've seen weird videos of him with justin bieber on the internet, but that's different from the allegations we're just doing. >> there's concerns that, you know, justin bieber is under so much so much pressure from this. he's starting to behave erratically and he could do the worst thing possible, which is to release another song. >> didn't he have a song that was called something that had the word baby in the title? >> he said, i'm sick of baby oil. that's that's the song. >> yeah. that one. >> yeah. that one. >> he did. no, he basically did have a song like that. he details all the stuff in the song. >> okay, well, maybe i mean, do we have time to do the daily star? not really. do you want
2:15 am
to. do you want to take 10s the daily star? >> so the daily star says boffins, they've always got. boffins warned that beasties may be hiding in dirty pants. beware spiders in your grundies. you don't need to worry about spiders in your pants. we live in britain. it doesn't have dangerous spiders. if we were in australia, spiders. i had a spider in my shirt in australia. >> well, you're not thinking about those immigrant spiders earlier. it's only a matter of time, steve. anything on grundy's? >> no, i'm fine with it. no, no, you know, it's not the first time i found cobwebs in my pants, but that's for a different thing. >> that's why we pay him a small amount. those are the front pages dealt with. but coming up, labour backs down on islamophobia. the nhs faces an ethical dilemma. and you let the government at your bank account? i personally wouldn't
2:18 am
2:19 am
quitting the labour party as starmer continues his tireless quest to alienate absolutely everybody. steve. >> yep , rosie duffield sleaze, >> yep, rosie duffield sleaze, nepotism and greed. why i'm quitting labour. ooh, looks like someone didn't get bought any dresses, but this is not it. i mean, rosie duffield resigned as a labour mp, blaming starmer's cruel and unnecessary policies and the freebies thing . two and the freebies thing. two things being blamed. it's not like they've been getting on for a while. you know, if this were a while. you know, if this were a marriage, we'd be like, yeah, sorry, it was on the cards, wouldn't it, and she timed it well as well because, i mean, it's not like labour cares numbers wise, where the majority they got, they were suspending people left, right and centre for looking at them in the wrong way a while ago. and it's interesting that in an interview about not voting against the cut to the winter fuel allowance, that she abstained rather than, voted against it, saying, you're just going to get suspended and you might want to hang around to vote on an issue that means something to you. and for that we read trans issues, women's issues. but now she's out because if you'd been suspended, it wouldn't have been news. but to be the first to hold now the record as the fastest mp to jump ship after a general election .
2:20 am
ship after a general election. this has scored some points. >> i think that's cynical though, steve. the way you look, i mean, i think rosie duffield is a person of great integrity and she was absolutely brutal in what she said. she talked about. she said the sleaze, nepotism and apparent avarice are off the scale. i'm so ashamed of what you and your inner circle have done to tarnish and humiliate our once proud party that is pretty strong stuff. leah. sounds like one of my tweets about starmer and i think she could have. >> she probably wanted to quit before the election, but she also wanted to get elected and she wanted to cause, you know, damage to labour because there i mean, i can't believe how badly labour are doing, never mind a honeymoon period. i mean, they just went straight. it was like a it was like britney spears getting married. it's like straight to the divorce. >> just the flight. one easyjet flight was the honeymoon. >> yeah . and it didn't land >> yeah. and it didn't land anywhere near the place. they were going, and yeah, i mean, keir starmer , considering he, he keir starmer, considering he, he ran for election on this platform of like, oh, i'm the most unimpeachable , the most most unimpeachable, the most pious, the best person, there's going to be no sleaze. i'm a i'm
2:21 am
a pure, selfless public servant. and then also we're going to have the most we're going to have the most we're going to have the most efficient, effective managerial there's going to be no more chaos. and we've just had chaos after sleaze, after chaos. and it's amazing to watch. i'm really enjoying it. >> yeah . and the other sense >> yeah. and the other sense i got from the piece was that a lot of mps or labour party people secretly feel this way. she's come forward and said it because she hinted that more feel that way, and that starmer is just completely detached from his party and just doesn't care what they think. and he just seems incredibly out of touch. >> yeah, i mean, i am surprised that anyone could not see this coming. if you knew in that wardrobe you got like 16 grand's worth of suits, you probably shut up about wallpaper. that's why i would have done about it. yeah, but somehow he didn't. he didn't join the dots. yeah. >> and he keeps saying like, look, i, i took that money or i took, i took those clothes, but i'm being completely open and transparent about it and that's all there is. then the next day there's another 16 grand or another thing. there's always another thing. there's always another thing. there's always another thing . and he isn't another thing. and he isn't being open and transparent. and i think people don't trust him
2:22 am
anymore. no. >> and it's exposing the flaws in his character. i mean, it would happen if you had that amount of scrutiny on you as prime minister. your character is going to be there for the world to see people would realise i'm just a nice guy who's funny and smart. but keir starmer, they're realising he's kind of got a facade persona. then there's the real keir that we're getting to know now, kind of a patrick bateman figure maybe. am i allowed to say that? i don't know, let's do the sunday telegraph. and the new definition of islamophobia is being reviewed on grounds that it's totally mentally. >> yeah. so labour are backing down on their definition of islamophobia. so in opposition , islamophobia. so in opposition, the labour party formally adopted a definition of islamophobia and incorporated it into their internal code of conduct, which all party members have to follow. so this definition states islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of muslimness or perceived muslimness. i mean, what does muslimness ? that's not what does muslimness? that's not a word. i mean, that's islamophobia shouldn't even be a word. there's so much wrong. islam is not a race for a start. there's white muslims, there's brown muslims, there's all
2:23 am
colours, mostly a lot of white ginger ones . ginger ones. >> and the whole premise of islam is one reason it's effective is that anyone can join basically, right? they want they want it to be spread. they call it reverting. >> so apparently we're all muslim. we're just in denial sort of thing. >> we're all trans. sorry. go on. >> yeah . and i mean, this this >> yeah. and i mean, this this definition could make, you know, the anti, the iranian dissidents who protest against the iranian regime. they could be deemed islamophobic under this because the islamic, the iranian regime is an islamic theocracy. and i think labour are really sort of waking up to islamism as a, as a political force. they really took a drubbing from islamic, islamic candidates in the election. a lot of people, well, some of them actually lost their seats and others like wes streeting jess phillips, came very close . and jess phillips, very close. and jess phillips, you know, had so much abuse dunng you know, had so much abuse during the election. and they're also worried about legitimate debates about issues such as polygamy or female genital mutilation being shut down. but this this rule was was always
2:24 am
ridiculous . this this rule was was always ridiculous. religious belief is already protected in the uk. and these accusations are just are just sort of weaponized. >> and it's a clash, isn't it? i mean, they like the equality act 2010, so it's a it's a clash with their own ostensible values. yeah. steve. >> yeah. i mean you've got to be allowed to criticise things that are. well, i'd like to be to criticise criticise religion, but certainly religion adjacent which would be included in this, because if you can't do those two things, you end up having to join that religion. it's only a few steps before you're like, oh, i guess i do believe then. >> yeah, because i'm not allowed to say i don't believe. yeah also, is there an argument that they're realising that they need freedom of religion because an argument that in some future britain, hypothetically, you could not be allowed to be muslim, then they'd want freedom of religion, right? so surely it's in their interest to protect freedom of religion. if in the incredibly unlikely event, we suddenly had a christian theocracy which probably wouldn't happen. but you know, they depended on freedom of religion to live freely in the uk, right? so they need that . anyway, just a little need that. anyway, just a little point. i thought i'd add. let's do the sunday mirror and a very 2024 question. would you rather have rampant benefit fraud or a
2:25 am
police state? steve, the dwp fraud check warning as bank accounts of people on benefits get checked first on four different types of benefits. >> the. so they've been granted new powers to look at the bank accounts of claimants, and worried experts have said it means they'll go to the means tested benefits first. and you look at that and think, yeah, why are the non—means benefit tested ones? you don't really need to see how much money you've got. that's kind of course you're going to check the ones that are money related by looking at money. >> it's whether you've got 16,000 in the bank. that's the figure they've always been obsessed with universal credit. >> yeah. you've got to have less than that. but i don't know. i've read through this a few times thinking i'm meant to be the nice one. so i'm not sure why i'm looking at this going on this show. >> you are? yeah. really? no one told me that. >> okay, well, no. no no reason to feel that i am. yeah, i feel, you know, i, i know the real you. >> so that's why i was shocked that you said that, but they aren't going after people on benefits. >> they're going after people who shouldn't be on benefits. but they've got the same rules
2:26 am
for people dodging tax. so hmrc can look at the bank accounts of people accused of some dodgy tax thing, and we're fine with that. yeah, but if it's yeah it's not saying we're going to have to benefit claimants. it's actually people who shouldn't be allowed that benefits. it's more money left to give to people who should be claiming benefits. so i'm not against this. >> so you're happy with the total erosion of privacy? leo no, i'm not on benefits. i just straw man argument. >> i think this is this is a slippery slope. like you said, it's already been used to look at people who might be evading their tax, to use it for, for benefits. i think there's better ways, such as scrapping benefits entirely and making people work for a living. how about people work for a living? ever thought of that? like if you're stranded, if we're stranded on a desert island and only one of us wants to go and pick coconuts, and the other two are like, oh, no, i can't, because i've got adhd, like, no way, you don't get any coconuts. so, you know, i think we need to think about our coconuts, but maybe that solution will never be enacted. >> so meanwhile, while you're waiting for there to be no welfare state at all, they enacted it in haiti . enacted it in haiti. >> the. >> the. >> yeah, i like that you framed it in kamala harris terms. >> yeah, i like that you framed it in kamala harris terms . we it in kamala harris terms. we can all understand about
2:27 am
coconuts. that's that's how i like my analogies. all right. >> a lot of countries have no welfare state. and, you know, people actually get out and work. >> yeah, let's get rid of state. all right. we agree. let's do the sunday telegraph and our beloved and benign nhs now wants to vaccinate people with down syndrome against their will. leo. >> oh this is a really heartwarming story about how the state will look after you. so the nhs wants to sedate a down syndrome patient for covid jab against his mother's will and without him knowing. so the mother has basically launched a legal battle now to stop the to state stop the nhs. the wonderful nhs that gave us harold shipman from spiking her down's syndrome son's drinks with sedatives so that he can be jabbed with the covid vaccine. so the nhs is sort of like bill cosby, but worse because at least bill cosby. well, he did give you an injection, but the a court previously heard that this, this kid with down syndrome struggled to follow social distancing rules because he liked to hug people . so, you he liked to hug people. so, you know, i can understand that. but
2:28 am
this is covid. we're sort of past the covid thing. he's already had covid. he had it was quite mild. he's lost weight. he's healthier than the average person, and his mother says administering the vaccine against his will will mean he won't be able to trust people, and his life will be filled with fear. and i think that's a fair point. i think the state should maybe just step back a bit sometimes before forcing medical treatments on people who haven't consented to them. >> yeah, yeah. i mean, i was appalled by this. and let's remember as well, you're still legally allowed in the uk to abort a baby that is going to have down syndrome up to 40 weeks. so people with down syndrome don't have the same rights as other people. i find it very disturbing. >> yeah . i mean, it very disturbing. >> yeah. i mean, a it very disturbing. >> yeah . i mean, a lot of this >> yeah. i mean, a lot of this story almost is written from the point of view of like mid—pandemic. this is not about that at all. it's about moving forwards. they want the right to not have to go to the court every time to reapply, to be able to slip him a mickey and give him an injection. so just in perpetuity, they are to free drug him. no, we're not living in that state at all. i mean, it says in the article, effectively, covid is now being
2:29 am
treated like the flu. if this story was saying we want to give him a flu jab and we won't charge him the £10, boots, but we will put something in his dnnk we will put something in his drink to knock him out, we'd be outraged. >> yeah, yeah, i find it very disturbing, especially when you've got things like assisted dying on the table. you've got a sort of labour government that seems a bit sociopathic to me. very big state, very interventionist. i don't trust these people to make these ethical decisions at all. but all right, that is it for part two. but coming up, angela rayneris two. but coming up, angela rayner is furious. fiona bruce fact gets fact checked and the positive impact immigration is having on
2:32 am
welcome back to headliners. let's get into it with the sunday express. and will the real deputy prime minister please stand up? leo. >> angela rayner is furious over claims that she is not the real deputy prime minister. so angela rayneris deputy prime minister. so angela rayner is deputy prime minister in name only. according to some people, probably some wild twitter speculation, but she was
2:33 am
elected labour's deputy leader by party members in 2020 and traditionally this would entitle her to become deputy prime minister when labour is in power. however, the prime minister is free to decide whether to appoint a deputy or not, and the role doesn't come with any formal responsibilities, and her package of measures to improve workers rights , known as improve workers rights, known as the future of work, which she championed in opposition, will be led by somebody else. so she's not she's not doing that. and i think she's not getting the, the dorneywood some residence that the deputy prime minister usually gets. i think, because she's such a fierce rival to starmer , this is, you rival to starmer, this is, you know, starmer is looking actually surprisingly weak considering he's only three months into being being prime minister. >> i'd say she's days from being prime minister. i mean, what's funny, though, the deputy prime minister, especially in rayner's case, it's been seen as a kind of made up role anyway. but now she's not even seen as the real one in the made up role. it's just been given to to her faux pas off anyway when she moans about like she said, i don't even care about a mansion. >> of course she doesn't. she's
2:34 am
bought enough houses, right? it's not like she needs another place to live. but that actually says it's not just making the phrase, she just wants it. >> she hates living in them. >> she hates living in them. >> yeah, she just wants to sell it and make a sweet dollar. but it and make a sweet dollar. but it actually says in the thing written in the sunday express, according to some people, that's not you just using those words. these are journalists. just like according to some people, according to some people, according to some people, according to people who work at the express, probably that's like worse than a wikipedia citation. yeah, yeah, probably. it's a donald trump. you know, people are telling me people . people are telling me people. yeah, it's one of those it's made up . made up. >> i mean, she's actually but she is relatively likeable. i mean, i know she's up against keir starmer, rachel reeves and bridget phillipson, but she's kind of she could end up being the people's princess. >> she looks like she'd be fun at a party if we're still allowed to have parties in keir starmer, britain, ibiza, djing and dancing. >> yeah, yeah and yeah, you wouldn't want her in charge of anything. >> no, no, she definitely shouldn't be prime minister. >> she needs to cut her hair into that weird bob and then she'll be respected by starmer. >> i think. i like how she says she doesn't care about her mansion. she says i care about looking at the british public
2:35 am
who have entrusted me from my background to get where i am. i love how left wing politicians always think that the fact that they're working class is some sort of achievement. it's like we can all have poor parents. that's not that's not amazing. like, oh, you worked so hard to be poor. >> yes, you're right, it doesn't qualify you to be deputy prime minister or prime minister in the next week , let's do the the next week, let's do the sunday express and something we almost never hear about bbc bias. steve. >> yeah. bbc old mates. you my old, working partners bbc fiona bruce actually , although i was bruce actually, although i was fired by them so i suppose it's not necessarily i might bring some bias to you. >> you're loving this. >> you're loving this. >> bbc's fiona bruce in question time bias quote marks row after halting show for reform correction. lots of words there. just not really helping us understand it. so here's what happened. you can fake some outrage as we go along, but almost nothing is what happened. >> i've seen basically almost nothing. >> reform party chairman ziya yousef said that the uk takes more asylum seekers per capita capha more asylum seekers per capita capita than france. fiona says france takes more than later. goes actually, you're right,
2:36 am
france takes fewer asylum seekers per capita than the united kingdom. it was correct that if it was biased, it would have been corrected at all. people online said, well, there was no apology. it was in a correction. this is what you're meant to broadcast. in that moment. you've corrected the fact. that's absolutely fine. meanwhile, i can't actually find the stats , though i spent the stats, though i spent a while there looking for all the different stats 67,000in the uk in 2023, 123. in france in the same year. we've roughly got the same year. we've roughly got the same population. i thought it was a per capita dodge. i thought it was a much bigger country, but they've actually got roughly the same number of people. uk according to migrationwatch uk asylum seekers are granted asylum at a rate three times greater than in france . i know, i don't know france. i know, i don't know where the numbers come from. they clearly found something. >> we're both doing pretty badly. let's be fair in terms of all this. so. but yeah, i mean i suppose there's a suspicion with the bbc the corrections are only going to come from one side, though i do remember fiona bruce getting in trouble for a kind of correcting something to do with domestic abuse, where it was seen that she was being biased to someone on the right, wasn't
2:37 am
it? or was it prince andrew? i can't remember, but she actually has been tried to be pretty fair. i think. >> yeah, the fact that she corrected herself in the actual show, instead of it being published as a tiny footnote on the bbc website, this is probably the only fair and balanced reporting i've seen from the bbc this week. >> but to your point, though, when corrections are published in the sunday express that this is in, that will be a tiny little thing right next to the sudoku. what's this thing? why is it printed upside down? oh, they got something wrong. >> yeah, i mean, yes, it's a fairly it's a non—story, i hate to use lewis's phrase, but it's a bit of a non—story. let's do the sunday telegraph. and for those who say we don't want boatloads of illegal albanian immigrants, i say, won't someone think of the drug gangs? >> yeah. so how albanian small boat migrants took over britain's cannabis market. so this is one of those heartwarming rags to riches tales. so hundreds of albanians who crossed the channel in small boats have helped their drug gangs secure a stranglehold on britain's cannabis market. they've been recruited as workers in illegal cannabis farms set up in rented houses or disused industrial buildings to produce crops worth up to £2
2:38 am
million a time, which can be grown and harvested in as little as 12 weeks. so this has been revealed by an undercover investigation into an telegram. i hate them . the conversations i hate them. the conversations between members of the group centre on the best chemicals for plant growth, the most effective way to harvest cannabis plants, the economics of securing properties for drug production and why crossbows are better than guns to defend their crops from rival gangs. i've always said that it's wonderful that this is happening here and not in colombia. >> this is a real a real say, but we need the taliban to clear this out. you remember when the taliban had the best anti—drugs program? yeah, yeah. >> much like my how to how to stop benefit fraud. if you if you chop down all the poppies, you chop down all the poppies, you don't get any drugs, but yeah, apparently the albanians, well, the albanians, they're, they're doing some pretty harsh gangster stuff. they're cutting off farm workers fingers if they do things wrong, which makes it harder to roll the joints. and landlords are demanding huge chunks of the profit. and the albanians have displaced our traditional british vietnamese drug gangs .
2:39 am
traditional british vietnamese drug gangs. so this traditional british vietnamese drug gangs . so this is traditional british vietnamese drug gangs. so this is really a tradition. this is a real sign of changing britain. you know, the vietnamese, vietnamese drug gangs have, you know, been here since the magna carta growing up. >> exactly. that's what the empire was built on. yeah. steve, this is a shocking, very 2024 story. >> it is. i love the description of some of the stuff they were talking about in this telegram group, though, about which chemicals are best. it comes across as like the criminal version of gardeners question time. yeah kind of like you want to get some phosphate mulch on there. if you read it in that kind of accent. it's a delightful little story about how to cope with the just hellscape that is modern britain. >> read it in a gardeners question time lens. >> but until they mention the vietnamese thing, i was thinking, no, this story wants proper traditional british drugs growers. so a proper crop that will keep the money over here. but no, it's yeah, i mean, one way to stop this would be to legalise the wacky baccy. >> really? you just put it in your little hippie policy . your little hippie policy. >> i don't even drink these days. there's absolutely no way i'd partake. the worst drug. >> it's the absolute worst drug, at least with cocaine. and
2:40 am
heroin. you hit rock bottom, and with cocaine, you might tidy your room. but cannabis, you just listen to terrible music and your house smells. >> watch any peter hitchens appearance. go on. leo, we've got no time. >> just just really quickly. so this the reason so many albanians have gone into the drugs market is because there was a crackdown on the underground black economy, the black market economy . so it made black market economy. so it made it difficult for them to find other jobs . other jobs. >> right. great otherjobs. >> right. great point. let's do the sunday telegraph and another story about the left eating itself. it's heartbreaking to see that someone has to cover it. >> steve labour's private school raid risks forcing out ethnic minority families, to according candace braithwaite, who fears this government tax hike could stop social mobility and the thinking is it says here that there are ethnic minority families working hard, working extra jobs to pay those school fees and they might not be able to with vat added to it. so exactly the same as everyone else. this is the same argument. why is this a race story? candace actually says, i appreciate your extremely privileged to go to private
2:41 am
school at all, but , privileged to go to private school at all, but, kids of colour, give me a break. why? what's the i mean , literally what's the i mean, literally asking for a break, she said. and for someone like me who's not pulling from that magical pot of gold. so she thinks white people go to fancy schools. pot of gold. it's easy. children of colour go into these schools . colour go into these schools. and the more worrying thing about this is it was on bbc's headliners podcast . headliners podcast. >> yeah, yeah. i mean, to look into that, that we don't know. i was hoping you wouldn't mention that, but, for legal reasons. leo, what do you think? >> well, it just shows that labour don't want to lift up striving families. they don't want to help ethnic minorities. they want to punish people. they want to hold people back. they want to hold people back. they want us all to be equally communist and destitute and ill educated. >> i know i've always hated this policy. it's obviously going to just hurt people who don't have that much money. labour is like, oh, private school. probably evil will take their money. is there anything? is there any good policies they're doing returning the sausages? that's the only one. is there any good policy ? it just seems like it's policy? it just seems like it's just just getting themselves involved in every aspect of life and ruining everything. >> and i think they paint, you
2:42 am
know, private schools as something that just, you know , something that just, you know, these billionaires send their kids to. and it's not the case. i mean, me and my brother went to state school, but my cousins who fell off are mixed race. so they're the ethnic minorities that are being talked about here. like my auntie and uncle scraped and saved and worked extra jobs to send them to that school. and as a result, they've been much more successful than me and my brother. >> i would never guess you went to a state school. >> no, i was going to say, when you say mixed race, do you mean half english? because it sounds like that's what you mean when you say it. >> no, it's my uncle's anglo and my auntie's saxon. so nice. >> let's do the independent before we get into trouble. and the dark side of tracking your partner's mobile phone. i'm guessing it's tracking your partner's mobile phone. >> yeah , exactly. so this is >> yeah, exactly. so this is about tracking apps like find my friends. or it should be called stalk my wife, so only a few years ago, it says tracking apps sounded like something out of a dystopian bbc drama. but today they're fairly commonplace. they do still sound like something out of a dystopian drama, but a
2:43 am
2019 survey found that 40% of parents and guardians use gps tracking for their children on a daily basis. i think i'm going to i'm going to start doing it too, and people use it for their friends. they use it for their partners as well. it can be an expression of affection and concern. you know , you can see concern. you know, you can see when you're you're on it. you can see, did your husband walk past that brothel or did he go in? you can see if he's going to be late for dinner. so you know when to burn it so you can get angry. when he gets home, you can check they got to their hotel safely for their orgy, but it's creating this sort of sense of paranoia as well, which it should do. i mean, i don't i would never use one of these tracking apps for my wife if i ever let her out of her cage, i would just trust her to go where she wants to go. >> the couple interviewed in here, one of them says it helps us have, like, special surprises because, you know, when someone, when she's about to arrive home to put the plate on, how can you have a special surprise? she'll know which shop you went to buy anything. you're being tracked. there was a i know this is in the independent, but it was a couple of weeks ago. there was a
2:44 am
thing in the times that said, should it be a red light if your partner and i was thinking, you know, tracks where you are, it was refuses to have the tracking app. what? we flipped it around that much that now it's a red flag. if you're not being geolocated permanently. it's a terrifying world. i think the only way to have it is if you promise that as soon as this causes one row, it gets deleted because i guarantee you at some point there'll be a what were you doing there? delete. that's it . it. >> as soon it. — >> as soon as you it. >> as soon as you start the row, you've just got to go off grid and have no girlfriend. that's all we've got time for in part three. but coming in the final fat jabs how to fix your relationship after
2:47 am
soon. welcome back to the final section of headliners. let's get into it with the mail on sunday and how to save your relationship after cheating. let's consult our expert on this. steve sorry just how it felt. >> good. >> good. >> i feel like there's a court case there, but relationship experts reveal common habit
2:48 am
ruining your sex life is the headune ruining your sex life is the headline thing. but this is ridiculous because it's it. then all goes into talking about the cheating. don't cheat would be a good piece of advice, wouldn't it? american doctors john and juue it? american doctors john and julie gottman appeared on an episode of the diary of a ceo podcast, claiming that couples can repair their relationship after an affair. then the more you read on, clearly john gottman did. julie the dirty it's all coming out because she only ever uses her when she's talking about the injured party, and then she'll do this like, okay, what did john do? they've got the triple a model, a tone, a tune and attach, which is exactly what it's just saying. sorry, an absolute ton. and then pretending you don't have any problems anymore. they also say there's no such thing as the one, which just makes statistical sense because that means, like, there's a 1 in 7 chance you're the one is chinese. so clearly , chinese. so clearly, mathematically, none of this works. >> and obviously, are you saying you wouldn't want to go out with a chinese person? >> how are you going to find. and i did i did, yeah. so that's why you can't accuse me of that
2:49 am
particular racism. >> okay. >> okay. >> is it one or the 1won0| get it. >> oh that's quite good. that's more of a works on paper better. yeah.i more of a works on paper better. yeah. i was thinking of a trump. >> kind of like i wouldn't date a one. i'm more if, you know, a four or below, i ain't going anywhere near. oh yeah, i get atonement because they've nicked that off christians. >> but what is a tune and attach i think basically they've just made up like like steve said, john cheated on julie and as his punishment , john cheated on julie and as his punishment, she's dragging him around podcasts and he's made up concocted this a tune attach in a tone thing that he's got to read out. >> and i bet he wishes he just left her. >> he's just got to be publicly shamed like will smith when he went on with jaden. those weird kind of shaming embarrassment rituals, although she had cheated on him, but somehow he was still at fault. i never really understood that. >> yeah, it's modern life because you've not attuned or atoned to whichever one, the other one is attached. >> well, you guys are both in successful relationships, so you've obviously atoned, attuned and attached. yeah i'm going to say i think the key to dealing with infidelity is just not doing it. >> if you do it, the
2:50 am
relationship is bust forever. there's no way you're coming back from something. >> if we looked at history, we just don't do it. that was awesome. that would be better though. that is good advice. all right, let's do the mail on sunday. and weight watchers is struggling to compete with far easier solutions like ozempic. i for one, am surprised that fat people are taking the lazy awkwardly. i'm sorry i was fat. louis schaefer says. i still am. i apologise, it's just a joke. >> i was going to say, what do you mean work? anyway? weight watchers ceo quits the dieting firm after struggling to compete with growing demand for fat jabs like ozempic and wegovy. so last yearit like ozempic and wegovy. so last year it announced that multi—million dollar celebrity investor oprah winfrey would be leaving its board and now they've said the chief executive is leaving as well. and oprah has probably lost a lot of money if she uses a multi—million dollar investor because weight watchers, the entire business is now valued at £49 million in 2018. that's just six years ago. it was valued at £5 billion. so its shares are down 90% so far. just this year. but over the six
2:51 am
years absolutely crashed . years absolutely crashed. >> normally you have to make a star wars movie to lose that much money. that's incredible. but it's tough. weight watchers is hard. it's like hard work. you have to go. you're accountable. it'sjust you have to go. you're accountable. it's just like a slow method. whereas a jab, people are going to go for that. >> you just hear a pop and then you're thinner. i think that's how it works. >> but this guy, obviously a few years later, this whole thing just misses out the obvious. >> so you got your weight watchers, the jul, some other woman had some scheme. loads of them are folding. you got your slimming. well, all of these different ones, all of these systems are out there and everyone's fat. so they are failures. they're systems that don't work. and now they're they're going bust as they should . you can blame the jabs, should. you can blame the jabs, but it's the fact that people were still fat after being on weight watchers for ages. >> i think the jabs will fail as well because you need to change your lifestyle as well. otherwise, when you stop taking the jab, you're going to go back to being fat. >> that's the second pop you hean >> yeah, my method is just no louis schaefer and he'll constantly tell you of that. and you'll either lose the weight or kill yourself. let's do the metro. and her husband has bought his wife an island so she
2:52 am
can wear a bikini. i mean, everyone's self—conscious about their body, but is that taking it too far? yes. >> island by his wife. a £37 million island so she can wear a bikini. an influencer claims that her hubby did this . sudi al that her hubby did this. sudi al nada.i that her hubby did this. sudi al nada. i had a look on her instagram because i thought she'd be stunning , but she's got she'd be stunning, but she's got one video called. he's not a big boy, but he's got a big bank account. leave her. this guy is being abs. it's the trophy husband because the trophy wife normally presumably hot. it's just how rich he is. i mean, you can wear a bikini down, like in oceana nightclub in southend. you don't need your own private island for it. go for it. >> yeah. all right. anything on this, lee? or do you want to. >> yeah, like steve says or hinted at. she's not that hot and if i was a multi—billionaire, i'd still be married to my wife, obviously. but. yeah, i'm not. >> i resent i think we shouldn't ever comment on anyone's looks in case people tweet it about about mine. let's do the mail on sunday and generation z are bringing back old school diseases like syphilis. who says they have no sense of tradition here? >> yeah, so a health chief is
2:53 am
desperately urged university students to use condoms when having sex to bring down soaring rates of gonorrhoea and syphilis amongst young people. it's like the victorian era all over again. well, let's have a look at those soaring rates. so last year there were 1040 new cases of syphilis, compared to 1000 the year before , and there were the year before, and there were 20 to 30 29,880 cases of gonorrhoea , compared to 30 gonorrhoea, compared to 30 30,000. so gonorrhoea rate your eyesight as well. >> gonorrhoea . >> gonorrhoea. >> gonorrhoea. >> gonorrhoea. >> gonorrhoea has gone down now. this is quite a complicated thing to read. you've got five seconds earlier, gonorrhoea has gone down. syphilis has gone up 4%. they're not soaring rates. >> right. and i look forward to the return of scurvy as well . the return of scurvy as well. sorry, steve. you've got nothing on that. we've got to go. the show is pretty much over thanks to leo and steve. let's have another quick look at sunday's front pages. so the sunday times has israel strikes a huge blow, but braces for revenge. the sunday express has kemi's vow to stop the boats. the observer goes with iran, threatens vengeance over hezbollah chief's
2:54 am

2:55 am
tonight with clear spells . we'll tonight with clear spells. we'll still see a few showers around, especially across northwestern england and across scotland as well , but on england and across scotland as well, but on the whole we'll see some clear skies and that will allow temperatures to fall. so we may see a touch of frost, but also some mist and fog patches to start sunday morning. but it will be a chilly start out there for some of us, especially across parts of scotland, where we'll see a touch of frost in the sheltered glens. but still across orkney we have got some longer spells of rain here and a few showers further towards the west across northern ireland. cloudier skies in association with that area of low pressure . with that area of low pressure. but further to the east you go dner but further to the east you go drier here with plenty of bright or hazy sunshine to start sunday morning, but it's going to be a different feel further towards the west. we've got stronger winds and we have got a met office wind warning in force through sunday with gusts 50 to 60mph, as well as some heavy outbreaks of rain. but further
