milton, the biggest hurricane milton, the biggest hurricane in a century , making hurricane in a century, making landfall later this evening. if you are watching on television, these are live pictures we're bringing you from sarasota in florida, where the hurricane is now impacting. in a press conference, joe biden said that milton has been downgraded to a category three storm and will make complete landfall shortly, adding that it still carries incredible destructiveness. >> milton still carries incredible destructiveness, can wipe out communities, can cause loss of life. storm surge is still expected to be up to isft, so i urge everyone in hurricane milton's path to listen to local officials and follow all the safety instructions they give while back at home. >> it's been announced this evening that volodymyr zelenskyy will visit downing street tomorrow as part of a tour to european nations seeking support for ukraine's resistance against russia. the ukrainian president

will meet sir keir starmer with the prime minister's official spokesman saying tonight that the meeting will involve broad strategic, strategic discussions on allied support for ukraine. it will be the second time the world leaders meet since sir keir starmer was elected in july , keir starmer was elected in july, and briefly to the middle east. now , where the israeli defence now, where the israeli defence minister has said that israel's retaliation against iran will be lethal, precise and surprising. the comments come as foreign secretary david lammy is in the region where he will reiterate calls for a ceasefire in lebanon and gaza. the us president, joe biden, spoke with israeli president benjamin netanyahu earlier this evening, where the president affirmed israel's right to protect its citizens from hezbollah . are your latest from hezbollah. are your latest gb news headlines for now. i'm katie bowen. now it's time for headliners for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gb news.

>> dot com. forward slash alerts . >> dot com. forward slash alerts. >> dot com. forward slash alerts. >> hello and welcome to headliners. your first look at thursday's newspapers with three comedians. i'm stephen allen and tonight it's like the tory leadership race. we've got two right wing types and no one will be describing it with a word cleverly. jonathan kogan and nick dixon. how are you going? yeah, i mean, i'll be clever and i may be very right wing, actually. >> wait, you agreed with the whole intro? yes. >> it's perfect. spot on. no i'm not. i'm an anarcho capitalist. i'm glad you dressed up for today as well. yeah, i owe the nafion today as well. yeah, i owe the nation an apology. i'm sorry for wearing my kimono. it was very polarising. and the fact that it upset people really put me in a state of glee for a couple of days. so thank you for writing in. >> it upset me, i don't you were worried. i don't watch the show, but people sent me screenshots . but people sent me screenshots. >> yeah, it wasn't great. i did flash part of me that wasn't meant to be flash, and that was almost totally accidental. so

sorry. >> apparently it played really well on radio. the radio? >> we didn't say anything. that is more kimonos to come. yeah. oh dear. well, let's crack on and take a look at the front pages. we start with the eye, which goes with workers. get right to flexible working under new rayner law express says winter fuel pensioners now face tax raid. the telegraph goes with £25 billion tax rise. pain on way warns ifs the guardian pm's vow to end austerity needs £25 billion of tax rises. the sun, swift gate home sex free gig after pressing for vip cop escort. i think that was a sentence . the finally the daily sentence. the finally the daily star. thank heavens . shame sentence. the finally the daily star. thank heavens. shame on the tea making scumbags. and those are your front pages . those are your front pages. we'll start with. well, i mean, this is a bit of a shock to go to this newspaper first, and normally we use proper

newspapers. but to find this story, we've had to turn to the metro. jonathan, very surprising that this was the only paper to have it on the cover. but let's get into it. well, actually, let's do the little story first. there's a lady called lupita. how i came to embrace the way i look. i think she came to embrace the way she looks because she's a very attractive woman. and it kind of works if you're if you're hot, that is hot privilege. so good on lupita. do you struggle with your hot privilege? it can be a burden sometimes. it gets me what i want. sometimes people say i have the face of a date rapist, and it makes me feel sad but accurate . so fair enough. but accurate. so fair enough. yeah, i'm not saying it's wrong, it's just it makes me feel sad because it's true. i was wondering what would make me want to move on from that story onto the main story. but you found it. we haven't started yet. yeah, right. found it. we haven't started yet. yeah, right . okay, the main yet. yeah, right. okay, the main story. let's get it back up. oh, it's behind me. leadership contest shock tory fight veers to the right. so a hardliners badenoch or james cleverly party after vote votes clanger chaos cleverly so james cleverly has become the final candidate to be

ditched by mps in the race to become the conservative party leader, which comes as quite a shock as only yesterday he was the favourite. he was the favourite with the bookies, he's a favourite in the papers. something has gone wrong, some kind of shenanigans, tactical voting gone awry. that's that's what i understand and that's the extent of what i understand. >> that's the beginning of the end of it. yes , indeed. some end of it. yes, indeed. some people are saying, yeah. did he lend votes to jenrick and or did he lend them to cleverly all those kind of lending. don't lend your vote. just vote for who you want. be very very simple about it. i got it right. i don't know all the, all the punst i don't know all the, all the pundits got it wrong. i'm from comedy and i get these things right. every time i backed jenrick since the start, i said he would win. i still think he'll win. i said this ages ago. he's the only one that's really serious about tackling immigration. these candidates, like cleverly and two, can have their lib dems, their pointless candidates. the tories are over if they go. i'm sure they're nice guys. cleverly, he's a good speaken nice guys. cleverly, he's a good speaker, but it's just it's a pointless direction for the party. so kemi and gemma were the only serious contenders and

i think gemma is the best option. >> the unpopular thing to say around here would be if you become like a version of reform, you could win those five seats back, but you're not winning back, but you're not winning back the 60 seats lost to lib dems. maybe they do need a little sprinkling of lib dems in there. >> yeah, and that's the tack to the centre argument, but it just doesn't really stack up historically as people like jacob rees—mogg have pointed out. thatcher, there are many other examples . it doesn't seem other examples. it doesn't seem to work for the tories trying to trying to be the lib dems. i mean, they even did a coalition, didn't they? that worked out okay for them, but it doesn't generally work for them. i think they've got to i think they've got to take that conservative ground, be strong on immigration and just generally wants to retire. farage and he could i mean, farage has been mocking him, saying he's got no charisma and all that. but, you know, i wouldn't underestimate jeremy because he's a serious dude. as farage was saying earlier in fact, when cleverly was sort of apparently going around in a bit of a victory lap, he was hanging out with boris at his book launch or whatever, just feeling like he'd got through. jenrick was on the phone, you know, hustling, getting, making sure he had everyone's vote. so i

wouldn't underestimate lending out votes left. >> right. exactly. barring some succession stuff there. yeah , succession stuff there. yeah, yeah, really like tactical voting. it's never going to go well. i think also don't lend more than you should. did we learn nothing from the subprime market era? don't overstretch quantitative voting. that's exactly what they got into. there we go. we solved it, nick. lots and lots of news on the telegraph. >> loads of news. steve, you've come to the right place for news . come to the right place for news. so, i mean, there's so many stories. they've got the cleverly story as well, cleverly out of tory leadership race as tactical voting backfires. they've got this wimbledon thing about line judges being axed for al, so they're getting rid of ai, so they're getting rid of the remaining humans at wimbledon. then soon you'll just have sort of robots playing tennis and not, you know, any humans involved at all. that's the ideal. >> just watching i play pong, essentially. >> yeah. and loads of other stuff we can get into. the main one is 25 billion tax rise paying one is 25 billion tax rise paying on way, warns ifs the institute of fiscal studies team is saying that they're going to have to if labour are going to avoid spending too much and they're going to avoid austerity, or so they're going to protect public spending and

avoid austerity. they've got to raise taxes. this absurd amount and the tax burden they predict will come to 37.9%. and because it's the telegraph, they managed to sneak in blaming immigration and public sector pay rises, which of course i agree with both. and they point out what we all know that reeves is planning to go after pensions, capital gains and inheritance tax. so lots of fun there. yeah, so i don't know how to make that comedic. it's a comedy show isn't it. so it's hard to banter about economics. >> can i interest you in kimono. >> got one i got one. >> so look . yeah, maybe they'll >> so look. yeah, maybe they'll go for capital gains tax. they're just trying to divest now . and they'll go for an now. and they'll go for an inheritance tax to try and die early. it's the way to protect your funds. there you go. we're actually talking about how we'd end it earlier on. we were weren't we. that's our show chat. talk about morbid stuff. i think everyone's a bit stressed about the upcoming budget. i know i am, because this is the first year i've really known what it is. if i'm completely honest and i'm not super psyched about it , honest and i'm not super psyched about it, i've honest and i'm not super psyched about it , i've got i've got about it, i've got i've got designs on a on renting for many

more months. i don't want to have many more months. yeah , you have many more months. yeah, you keep having that avocado, you won't have to worry about it at all. all right , well, we can all. all right, well, we can move on now to the sun. what's it shining upon? the sun is illuminating swift gate, cooper admits wembley jolly. so the home tax free gig after pressing for vip cop escort. so the home secretary watched taylor swift for three days after urging the met to give the megastar an unprecedented vip police escort. so yvette cooper and hubby ed balls took the £170 wembley freebies from swift's music label universal. so this does seem like a bit of a i guess conflict of interest is the right word. taking free tickets from universal only to then provide a private police escort for taylor swift. they just love getting free stuff. they really, really like it. they enjoy a freebie . can you really blame freebie. can you really blame him? actually, i think this is sort of this is third tier policing they've introduced. now there's the third tier is taylor swift level policing. >> so yeah why are they all so into taylor swift. i mean she's

all right. like you know if they were going to like leonard cohen i know he's dead. but you know something like that. just like do you have to all be such i don't want to say philistines. it is, you know, it's decent pop music du jour. but yeah, i mean, they're all just like, really, it's just it's meant to be the adults back in charge, but they all their favourite singer is basically a teenage girls choice. she has some good songs. don't get me wrong, she's fine. they're all just a bit embarrassing, but i can see why, why, why they want to be imitators. because she has 283 million followers on instagram. that's like four and a half uk's. if you think about it. right, we're about 67 million. it's absolutely insane. think about it. 280. she's like a country. it's like a continent. she's like america. she's virtually as big as america. isn't that incredible? >> do you not love this angle to the story, which no one seems to be talking about, that she got the policing that prince harry wanted. and all this proves is that yvette cooper does not want to get any free prince harry tickets, right? that's what we learned. signed copy of the book. yeah, she's not caring about that at all. that's what this really boils down to, of course. of course. she's no

harry fan, but. well, allegedly, i don't know. there's also one more story on the front cover. wokeist cancel robin hood. he wears tights, loves trees, takes from the rich, gives to the poon from the rich, gives to the poor, leads men and maids. but still the woke mob have cancelled him. and that's because woke people don't like any kind of men being merry. and finally, nick, what have we got in? this is the newspaper that counts. >> the star. yeah. thanks for bringing this one in, steve. it's shame of the tea making scumbags. and it's . what happens scumbags. and it's. what happens is your workmates offer you a cup of tea and you think, oh, that's nice, but they're not being nice. steve. what they're trying to do is accrue an extra eight days a year by taking time to make tea, i think. and it accrues to this eight days. they're calling it eight days holiday. i don't think that's really holiday. no. >> where do you spend your holidays? at the tap tending to like my colleagues by offering them tea? i don't know, work out eight days. i'm not. it seems a lot. yeah. how long is that? one an hour? one an hour. three minutes an hour. steve, you're a you're a numbers man. yeah, well, i still think the smokers are worse than tea drinkers. okay? they get to leave the

building that's closer to a holiday. it's still not on holiday, but it's not in the. haven't they been banned now? well, you just have to get further and further away from the building. >> this is the more laws we're all just trying to relate to having workmates really here because we don't we come in in the evening and there's people around. we don't know who they are. you say hello, they don't say it back. and you're like, i kind of work in an office, but not really. >> you technically made me a tea earlier because i couldn't get the tap to work, right. >> that's true. yeah. well, then, nor could i, but we both stood there wasting up to eight days a year. >> it felt like that anyway. well, that's the front pages out of the way after the break. will we

welcome back to headliners i'm steven alan still here with jonathan kogan and nick dixon despite dropping hints. jonathan let's start with thursday's i would labour do more to stop the

boats if we said they were free. taylor swift tickets in it for them? no, but the boats have had plenty of police escorts, i've noticed. oh, same deal then. topical inside labour's escalating small boats crisis as reform threat grows, immigration could clobber the government at any time, warns pollster, as reform signals intent to capitalise on fury over the issue. so basically, the current government, i would say , hasn't government, i would say, hasn't faced the same pressure over the small boat migrant crisis as the conservatives who made a big promise to stop all the boats. but this could likely change, according to a poll done by bmg research, it looks like labour's lead over the tories on immigration has dropped by five points, and it suggests voters are sort of questioning the current government's policy on boats and their intentions to smash the gangs , which was one smash the gangs, which was one of my favourite hip hop albums of my favourite hip hop albums of the early 2000. but yeah, it seems to be the issue of the day. people are. i feel like the overton window is kind of shifted on the topic. it used to

be almost verboten to discuss it. it's now being obviously discussed by left wing politicians as well. so yeah, i think people are worried about the whole situation and the government are aware of this worry. >> i love how jonathan said that he would say this. the government's not facing the same pressure. it says it right here. the new government is not facing the same pressure over the crisis. >> i think i've been ousted. >> i think i've been ousted. >> you're reading bits out, i love this. you're passing them off as your own now. you know, i would say, yeah, i would say the newspaper is called i. >> and you thought that was just the first person pronoun, like, how do they know me? >> news, i think yeah, i mean, i agree with everything jonathan said, mainly because it was down there. people, they reckon they've got a year. one minister thinks they have a year. they're worried about reform. maybe if that i would say, and, you know, to sort of have these migrant hotels just there, i mean, where are they going to put them instead? but obviously if they're there, labour mps are just terrified because reform are coming up on, you know, to beat them in their seats. and they've got these migrant hotels. and as long as those

stay there as a constant reminder that you're giving things away to people who shouldn't even be in the country, you're going to vote reform, aren't you? are you going to vote for anyone, maybe even jenrick? if he wins, you're going to vote for anyone who you think might tackle this. but whoever just think might tackle this. but whoeverjust sends think might tackle this. but whoever just sends the think might tackle this. but whoeverjust sends the navy in whoever just sends the navy in wins the election. this is my theory. whoever just sends a navy to in deal with the small boats, right? that's what cummings said. it's not as crazy as it sounds. dominic cummings said that. he said, if you go out, you should be able to deal with it with the navy. >> well, the problem for labour is they wouldn't appeal to all of their base by that, like they are in a position where all they need to do is like deport enough people to get a headline out of it, and then all of a sudden, look, we're the supporters, but the labour voters wouldn't like that. but within a lot of the people on the dinghies are voting labour. so yeah. no, i mean, within the big church of laboun mean, within the big church of labour, there are some people who probably do lean towards thinking that we shouldn't have borders at all, and you'd end up there's those, but i think most of them are secretly just say nice things at dinner parties , nice things at dinner parties, but actually just just want the water cannons out in their backyard. >> that's what i believe. yeah, yeah. >> nick, moving on to the times. what is youth demand? is it a

protest group or a delivery service for bbc newsreaders? >> yeah, it's sort of . it sounds >> yeah, it's sort of. it sounds like an old tv show for children in the 90s on bbc one. do you mean welcome to youth demand or itv? you know what i mean? it's youth demand, guys. but it's not that it's a really annoying protest group. so it's gaza. protesters target picasso and it's quite hard to target actual picasso now. but they picasso paintings and spill paint at national galleries, so we know how popular these protests are. so they've done another one, and it's a picasso's 1901 so they've done another one, and it's a picasso's1901 painting motherhood, and they've gone after this because it's topical for them, because they put a gazan mother on there and her child, and they've tried to stick a photo of that on top of it. you see, because it's the motherhood is the link, steve. they've thought this through like art. they've thought it through. it is a lot like that. and they've thought it through and they're like, how can we alienate everyone? just just when israel is sort of alienating people with its behaviour, you know, many would say not necessarily on this show we'd be too scared. but many people say that. but i think the thing is just now that israel is losing the pr war, how can we do something more annoying? let's ruin a beloved artist for no reason. >> yeah , what i find interesting >> yeah, what i find interesting is they've taken a play out of

justin boyle's playbook. and i mean , as nick was saying, it mean, as nick was saying, it doesn't ingratiate people to you. it really turns people who are undecided completely against you. i don't think it does any benefit to their cause. and they also they're aligned with justin boyle, showing they're all part of the omni cause, which is a phrase i've heard recently. and ishant phrase i've heard recently. and i shan't stop saying, yeah, i don't know what it means. one of the things they want is for there to be a stop on new oil and coal, like they've already got that. take that off the list. now, just tipp—ex that one out. you've achieved it. if you're not updating, you know, it's like trying to update your linkedin or something. but when i got to cover free speech nation, we had a spokesperson in from just stop oil and he was saying, oh, they came in. yeah . saying, oh, they came in. yeah. and he was saying that if i gave you a choice between you've got to save a baby or destroy some art, which would you choose? i'm like, it's not a choice. it's a false dichotomy. and also the thing you're doing, like, i'll throw soup. it won't solve either of those two problems. >> but yeah, i mean, if you as well, and you're sort of notoriously a sort of psychopathic. so you'd be like, well, the art and they shouldn't ask me either, because i'm like,

all about art over. you know, i don't have a family. so i believe in aesthetics. so obviously i'd pick the art, but it's a terrible question. yeah. they just they just called their bluff. they're jonathan two independent mps voting to protect independent schools, written about in the independent. >> i love it when a plan comes together. nice. corbyn alliance mps unite with tories to oppose labour's private school tax rates. oh two of jeremy corbyn's common allies have united with the tories to oppose labour's tax rate on private schools , tax rate on private schools, despite having been elected on left wing tickets . so these are left wing tickets. so these are pro gaza independents . mr pro gaza independents. mr mohammed and mr khan haven't just made that up . those are the just made that up. those are the names spoke out against sir keir starmer's plans to levy vat on independent schools and remove their relief from business rates. so this isn't a policy that corbyn has made a move on or talked about or backed, but these are allies of corbyn who have done this from what i can tell, because they're focusing on faith schools and religious schools, which are private. so they're doing it from the perspective of we don't want to

lose the ability to send religious children to faith schools , rather than, let's all schools, rather than, let's all keep the poshos going . keep the poshos going. >> yeah, yeah, this is absolute banter, isn't it? i mean, they come up with this policy thinking, oh, it's all eton toffs, and it turns out to be muslims who are not earning that much money but value education. so they're spending a disproportionate amount, presumably on education, even though they're only just above minimum wage. and so it's completely backfired flavour because those are their potential voters. those care about. and now you have these independents siding with the tories. but anyone could have seen that this policy was going to go that way, because there's a range of public and private schools. you know, it's a big range, isn't it? and they're saying the lowest fees start at £1,800 and go up to 3300, though thatis £1,800 and go up to 3300, though that is per minute. but you know, these are so these are not these are not radically expensive schools. the big difference between this and stowe and eton and so on. >> yeah. nice use of the word radical. >> thank you . >> thank you. >> thank you. >> they've they've framed it wrong haven't they. that they should have just said that most people are priced out of that education anyway and it will just slightly move where the line is, whereas somehow they've made it seem like, you know,

this is these are posh people and they're wrong about that. it's not entirely the posh people can still afford it. they won't even notice this. the proper posh, the proper posh, not the nouveau posh money anymore. yeah. whereas, you know, the faith school people. yeah. they're just when they were trying to win them back. oh dean were trying to win them back. oh dear. right next to the guardian. we could import green energy from north korea if we upset them. they might send nuclear to. >> yeah, it's anger at ucs. bonkers. plan to reach net zero by importing fuel from north korea. who'd have thought? well, it's not that surprising, is it, that because labour are quite augned that because labour are quite aligned with north korea, we've got kim jong un? apparently kim's been in touch saying, i love your jailing people for memes. apparently. good banter between them. so a great, great, great guy . so i just made that great guy. so i just made that up obviously. but now they want to get wood from them so they can get these wood pellets. so apparently it's to do with biomass . steve, i was apparently it's to do with biomass. steve, i was i was waiting for you to understand and explain the science, obviously. >> well, backstage, steve was saying that climate change doesn't exist, which yeah, it's true actually. >> i know he has a lot of strong

views. he said a total halt on immigration, climate change doesn't exist. >> i agree with elon musk. he's a climate change guy. he was arguing on twitter about how it is a thing and it is a worry. and i just thought, that's great because everyone else who normally likes elon musk, that would be the one area where they're like, oh , okay, it's they're like, oh, okay, it's definitely real in this studio, this is the hottest i've ever been as an adult, just in case anyone's at home thinking, oh, nick's a bit sluggish today. >> yes, because i'm dying both outside and inside anyway. so they want 9.1 million tonnes of wood pellets for use in energy production. and it's all very complicated. steve, you need these pellets. and only north korea have them. and luckily they align with starmer politically. >> yeah, yeah. do we want to be relying on a rogue nation for our energy? >> that's what kim's thinking right now. he's looking at starmer . they're going to want starmer. they're going to want to rely on the rogue nation of the uk . they're pretty hard. do the uk. they're pretty hard. do it with the accent. just keep doing that joke. a lot of times is what i'm thinking. it's the same joke again . it's a great same joke again. it's a great joke. it's a great accent. it's that labour which accent? starmer. >> no, the trump accent. >> no, the trump accent. >> that wasn't even relevant. i just threw that in. >> he's eventually trying to get you to do the north korean

accent and then you'll never work again. do it so well. >> i'm working with jordan peterson into this somehow, but okay. >> go on to have gas cut off. seems like that's one thing, but to not get your pellets sent, oh, that's going to be crippled by anything. oh , we didn't get by anything. oh, we didn't get the right pellets. yeah, like a soup and a cup of pellets. yeah. it's not, it's not glamorous, is it? but it is better to burn wood than coal . wood than coal. >> it would be amazing for the particulates. would you believe it if. sorry, sorry. if pellets took starmer down, that would be amazing. the first prime minister would just be taken down. taken down? i was taken down. taken down? i was taken down by pellets . down by pellets. >> all right, jonathan, to the mirror as a lorry driver who reported stowaways in his lorry has been fined for having stowaways. i think we're going after the wrong people. traffickers. look, it's a good system. it works. lorry driver hit with £12,000 fine for migrants hiding in his lorry despite him alerting border force. so a lorry driver who claims he informed authorities about stowaways while returning from france, is fighting to have a £12,000 fine dropped. mr fletcher, who's 63, says he's now being pursued by debt

collectors and feels punished by border force for doing the right thing. so he was preparing to board the ferry at calais in september . board the ferry at calais in september. he board the ferry at calais in september . he noticed movement september. he noticed movement in his vehicle. he alerted the border guards to his suspicions, who discovered the stowaways. when he got home, he had a letter from the border force saying that they now have to live with him. outrageous. they're now living in his house. he's legally responsible for them, for bringing them in. >> that's true. i've checked the article and you know, it's outrageous this has happened. i know it's hard forjonathan outrageous this has happened. i know it's hard for jonathan to criticise it because this is how he got in the country. back of lorry. >> you've seen cape fear , right? yeah. >> no. i'm amazed how supple you are. you just. you hid in the back of a lorry. he's here now. there's nothing i can do about it. >> i had to do terrible things sometimes. >> and sometimes he's on the tv and he thinks i'm gonna have to rush out quickly. if the people come, the bad people. anyway, the point is, steve, this is outrageous. he actually reported it. he did the right thing, and they fined him. it's absolutely. it's disgusting. it'll probably get quashed, but it's outrageous. yeah. it's bad. >> i will say, when i read the

article in depth, which i don't normally do, it did seem to be an administration error. they swapped over the border guards and they didn't take some photos or something. so it isn't . but or something. so it isn't. but apologising for that just lowered the fine to three grand. outrageous. oh, we got it wrong. we'll only charge you three grand pushing their luck. yeah, like maybe we'll pay a bit. >> anarcho tyranny. steve. >> anarcho tyranny. steve. >> oh, that is it, right? that's enough for this section. but up next, bald men . hairy emojis enough for this section. but up next, bald men. hairy emojis in the nhs struggling to tell men women. and that's in the uk, not thailand, you know, find

welcome back to headliners and kicking this section off with thursday's daily mail. nick the nhs says that you can't say born male or female and ofcom tells me i can't use the word that describes that . describes that. >> yes, i know a lot of these stories make me want to use words we're not allowed to use. nhs hospital tells staff to avoid using the phrase born male or female in case they offend the lgbtq. plus community. this comes from james paget hospital

in great yarmouth. who has these absurd lists. we're becoming very familiar with them now. there's a list of things you can't say. these stories are so demoralising , ladies and demoralising, ladies and gentlemen, both genders opposite sexes. male man. we wouldn't say that because american firemen, policemen, they're all banned and perhaps most weirdly, the term homosexual as it suggests a medical diagnosis or a discomfort with gay and lesbian people. except it doesn't. it's the word for same from the greek homos, like shut up, you morons. it just means same. how is that medical? how is that offensive? same hetero different homo, same. >> who's ever come home from the gp and the wife said, you're right, i've been diagnosed homosexual. it's not a diagnosis, is it? the way i do it . it almost makes sense. they it. it almost makes sense. they gave me a prescription . yeah. gave me a prescription. yeah. >> there could be decades more of this. go on. >> jonathan, i agree it's demoralising. the list seems to be ever burgeoning. >> i can't be happy doing this

show because i have to read this stuff every day. >> yeah. three days. this is meant to be the fun section now. >> oh yeah. >> oh yeah. >> that's next. yeah. i mean, what is it when you're policing language for the sake of doing it, you're a authoritarian, censorious bores and i shan't. you can't say that anymore. oh, sorry. wasn't born male already. like step one away from calling someone a man. so let's let's the nice thing it was on the list of. this is what you should say instead. that's the thing. it's implying that. okay, you may have been born male, but you've transitioned to another genden you've transitioned to another gender. so it seems to be accommodating for that. but i think it's the fact that you have to say assigned. so to say that even born was it's a falsehood, right ? you were only falsehood, right? you were only ever assigned. tune in next year when we'll be covering the story that says, how dare you say i've been assigned? yeah, that's oppressing my whatever's going on. jonathan, the independent billie piper has a lot in common with gb news. not only in what she's saying in this news story, but we both have laurence fox as an ex, and we both had to pay the piper. that's pretty good. no, that's good. cross that out.

did you not get the note? oh, no. okay. billie piper says misogyny and violence against women won't end by telling boys they're awful . who would have thunk it? awful. who would have thunk it? yeah, speaking . speaking at an yeah, speaking. speaking at an event to mark the launch of a new short film, billie piper. when asked about how young girls and boys can foster healthy relationships from an early age, piper told the audience that she is hugely concerned and worried about the external influences facing young boys, referencing the output of influencer and good friend of nick, andrew tate. >> thanks mate . that's brought >> thanks mate. that's brought me into the story. >> that's nice. it says it in here. >> i thought you were going to sort of bring laurence in the story, but curveball, you brought me in. well. go on. >> look, boys are fine. just don't. don't tyrannise them . don't. don't tyrannise them. don't let you know. embittered women tell them that they're inherently bad. make sure they have father figures. or at least, you know, good male role models. keep them on social media from a young age, and

they'll be all right. they're fine. >> i'm fine. i resent that you said embittered women. i find that misogyny embittered, born as women or something you should have said. assigned, embittered, assigned and bitter. yeah. this is i mean, the fact that jonathan said. i mean, the fact the headline telling boys they're awful bad, you know, i mean, the fact that we have to have that discussion. she still starts off with the inevitable tate reference, which we knew was coming. she's hugely concerned about the influence of bebe nonsense, but then goes on to at least, at least she says you can't dismiss them or somehow shame them in a way that pushes them further. i don't know why this is so hard to work out. you just go around telling boys you're awful. guess what? if you're particularly a poor white boy, you're the least likely to go to university because you're going to have no money. the whole culture hates you. you have your inherent instincts are suppressed by the entire culture anyway. you're not going to go out hunting. you're just going to go around with all this testosterone. nothing to do with it. everyone's going to say you're basically an r word that jonathan used earlier for just existing, right? you're just a walking. me too. and then it's like, oh. so then you turn to some youtube videos that say, maybe you're not the scum of the earth, and everyone's like, oh no, what is it? why is anyone

surprised by this? >> yeah. although she did spend a long while telling girls they could do things because they want to. so, you know, it's that's a reference. it's a bit of a bit of a stretch back. so people have the exact right age. >> got that? i got that. >> got that? i got that. >> fair enough. right. nick the telegraph just a little update about the world we live in. you can't pray at home. you can pray on young work experience, lads. to good know. >> yes. and the most horrific stories we've ever done. praying at home, maybe illegal abortion law campaigners fear. so with this abortion services act in scotland, of course you could technically be done for praying in your own house. so activities in a private place, such as a house within the area between the protected premises and the boundary of a zone, these buffer zones could be an offence. if they can be seen or heard within they can be seen or heard within the zone, and are done intentionally or recklessly . so, intentionally or recklessly. so, as far as i can understand, if your house is near an abortion centre and you're just having a little prayer in your front room andifs little prayer in your front room and it's seen and it's reckless, you could be fined £10,000 or an

unlimited fine for more serious offences. >> so—called what would reckless prayer even constitute? >> it's a it's a great question. we've seen some of it in certain places, but generally. yeah i don't know what. could it be out of that. yeah . we're talking of that. yeah. we're talking about christianity here jonathan. oh about christianity here jonathan. on right. about christianity here jonathan. on right . and the fact jonathan. on right. and the fact is this it's an anti—christian law. clearly it's the prevailing ideology which is which is wokeness doesn't allow christianity, even though we're in an ostensibly christian country. you may as well go full big brother and have the tv screen in the house, literally, right tv screen big brother in the house, because monitoring you're praying in your house. now, just quickly on this story , now, just quickly on this story, when i've talked about buffer zones in general, people even on my twitter or followers of me have said, well , no, but you have said, well, no, but you don't want to harass them in the abortion centres, which of course you don't. but it's interesting how people are. so sort of they're so emotional on abortion that they think it's reasonable to arrest someone for silently praying, which of course, it isn't . as proved when course, it isn't. as proved when west midlands police had to give £13,000 back to a volunteer. you

know, someone who'd been praying silently because it's not even law. so what can you say about this? it's so dystopian you can barely add to it. >> it's protected by law because that was that was an echr thing, which makes it a bit more confusing. but that means that, you know, you can't arrest someone for praying. she's got that that right. i love the presumption in this that this is like trying to get into a good school, that someone would bother to buy a house. they would move to the house right next to the abortion centre so that they could get in to pray recklessly. pray. i don't think anyone's ever going to do this. no, i don't know. and the real sort of terrifying thing is, how could they ever propose to know what is the content of somebody's thoughts? like they're like, no, we know what you were thinking. do they? do you were thinking. do they? do you have to get the silver foil? everyone thinks elon musk, he's the guy, but he's he's that neuralink gets in there. no, this is absurd. >> but it's a very short time ago, you would have said stopping someone for silently praying on the street and arresting them would have been absurd. and yet it has happened multiple times. >> but it is still. yeah, it's against the law to arrest them. so that's where, as it turns out, cling on there can't we? jonathan, the daily mail, as a member of the bald community, this is good news. there's a

well—known phrase that you can't say to us. you can only search for it on pornhub. pukaki . it's for it on pornhub. pukaki. it's one of my favourite motorbikes. yeah, it's a great, great little model. calling a man bald is sexual harassment. high court rules after electrician was called a bald. can't say that by his male supervisor in a recently called what can't say that a bald can't say that i got it. you know in a recently released full judgement, a judge said that using the word about a man could breach equality laws because it is inherently related to sex. amen. depending on where he is bald of course. so it follows, which is kind of your joke from elianne. so this follows a legal lengthy case which was eventually ruled to be that it was ruled to be a sexual related thing, because the dimorphism between men and women is such that men are often more bald than women due to natural dht reaction and hair loss. >> yeah, that sounded quite fancy, he was just saying men

are more likely to be bald and women, but it sounded fancy the way he said it did. >> he googled it, didn't he? >> he googled it, didn't he? >> in this heat, jonathan, i was impressed by that. >> and the other thing as well, this i mean, it's a win finally for men. >> so that's good. obviously i'm in favour of that because normally these things are all like, you know, you know, whatever. they're not normally it's not normally a bloke who wins these little tribunal things. but what i am annoyed aboutis things. but what i am annoyed about is the complete decline of our culture where nothing's ever made. the amount of stories we do. like this. someone sues for pathetic workplace infringement. just like the amount of time, the amount of bureaucracy lawyers are getting rich. meanwhile, we're not producing anything. china are laughing while this happens. you know what i mean ? i think you'll find what i mean? i think you'll find if you're involved in these stupid debates in court and china just made another six coal plants, do you mean. >> do you see what i'm saying, jonathan i certainly do, but on the plus side, we get content, we get this content. >> it's great for us on this grift. this is another one of those stories where it's more about the c—word than the bald thing , isn't it? thing, isn't it? >> it's like the i can't remember the name of the footballer who got in trouble for saying black. same word. and you think, look, i understand that one has a racial element, but it's the other word that's

doing all of the heavy lifting that makes it a bad thing. if anything, the other word is a very sex related word. more than yeah, yeah, because if you call a woman that, which i won't say who on the panel did to the makeup lady, but to be fair, get my foundation right. so yeah. so i don't know, it's just, look, can't we all just get along? >> i'm starting to think this story was given to us to try and get at least one of us fired. maybe we'll crank the heat really high. we'll give them this story. just see what happens. >> written by josh howie. >> written by josh howie. >> let's see if the next one gets fired. nick. the independent. it turns out that emojis are racist and not just because most of them are doing. >> it's mel b, remember her backs campaign for emojis with afro hair on mobile devices? another demoralising story, but it's of all the 4000 emojis, steve, none of them represent hairstyles commonly worn by black or dual heritage people, and they are confronted . wait and they are confronted. wait for this by texas tourism on a daily basis, which must be hell. i mean, of course white men are, you know, a discriminated against institutionally across

almost every major public and private institution. but texas tourism is a serious problem , apparently. >> so i think i think this is a step in the right direction for emoji equality. they're also going to be bringing in some italian emojis, which are just quite aggressive hand symbols , quite aggressive hand symbols, which would be nice. they have a pregnant dude. have i made that up? they have a pregnant man emoji. >> yeah there is. >> yeah there is. >> so we got their bill gates does look like bill gates. so we got there before we got to the afro haircut emojis. >> i'm not against it, but let's be very, very clear. you can have an afro emoji. i'm not insane, but i just object to the phrase confronted by textualism because i am not completely insane. that's why i object to that phrase. >> and as a highly sensitive man, textualism some textures longchamp bags. no, they hurt me. so have you been confronted by textualism? i think by my own self. textualism yeah, that's means something else, didn't it? that's self texturing your own self. textualism is what you do after you've googled the phrase that you're not allowed to call

me. yeah, a bald what what? that's the end of part three. after the break. it's vaping, drinking and drugs. but one of those drugs might help undo the harm from the vaping and

welcome back to headliners and getting straight back into it with thursday's daily mail. jonathan proof that drink and drugs are getting too expensive for some of our kids to get hooked on something needs to be done to increase pocket money. now . vaping, drinking and now. vaping, drinking and illegal drug use more common among better off children. so vaping, drinking, drug use, all the fun things are apparently way more common with the well—to—do families compared to poorer households, new and analysts have suggest so . this analysts have suggest so. this is within children between 11 and 15, and those from affluent backgrounds are basically getting on it . backgrounds are basically getting on it. this backgrounds are basically getting on it . this is a getting on it. this is a self—reported study, so maybe they're more likely to do these studies. i don't know if it's relative to a certain group, but this maybe this is my own prejudice. it's actually

slightly different to what i was expecting. i thought especially drinking would have maybe more of a working class communal element to it. have you ever met a working class person? well, you keep telling me you are, but i'm not sure cos i probably can't sold out anymore. yeah, you're a class traitor. yeah , you're a class traitor. yeah, well, you would, wouldn't you? but you get a chance, you know , but you get a chance, you know, i'm a class traitor, but i've. i've sunk. yeah, yeah. social mobility. yeah i don't, i don't know, drink like everyone drinks and drugs as a teenager. right. but what you're from the same sort of background as me, i think, you know, comprehensive school and misery. that's the two main things in the north. check? check. yeah . it was check? check. yeah. it was always the posh kids who had a great time or the ones who could afford it. >> we didn't have any posh kids. but do you know what? i'm torn, steve, because in a way, i think this is probably the decline of everything. it's like another weird inversion that means it's a harbinger of doom. on the other hand, the archetypal aristocrat was always smoking, drinking brandy , powdered drinking brandy, powdered cocaine, and yeah, probably like in a war like churchill or someone in about eight wars, always drunk. and there was something aristocratic about it, you know what i mean?

>> i agree, but i think drinking spans the, the economic spectrum. you get the kind of the working men's clubs, you get the working men's clubs, you get the highfalutin champagne types. >> yeah. although vaping i'm disappointed about because that's not aristocratic even. that's just sort of tacky isn't it. yeah. so that does suggest decline. >> i think there was a stat about the number of people who vape but have never smoked, has gone up by whatever stupid whatever it was, it was a stupid number. why? it's like being on methadone. but you've never had a drugs problem. >> why would you do that ? like >> why would you do that? like i'm going to start because it's fruity and delicious. >> yeah, exactly. because they've brought out a pineapple flavour. yeah, right. nick to the sun. a new drug that gives you the same effects as running a ten kilometre run. what? sweats? heart palpitations and needing to do a paula radcliffe in the street ? in the street? >> yeah, although, steve, it's in a pill form . breakthrough new in a pill form. breakthrough new exercise pill mimics benefits of high speed ten kilometre run without ever leaving the sofa , without ever leaving the sofa, scientists say. but we've learned not to trust them and this comes from denmark. inevitably, the pill contains a molecule called lake. is that right, steve? well, you pronounce it differently. it's speu pronounce it differently. it's spelt lake. i know you're a molecules guy . and anyway, it

molecules guy. and anyway, it must be quite weird. you just take this pill, you're on the sofa and you suddenly feel just absolutely shattered and just. it must be so weird, that feeling. but we're going to have a strange thing, because obviously ozempic is ubiquitous now. we're going to have a strange future where you've got people who actually are still running, who will be the weirdos. they'll be like, people are like, listen to vinyl records and bake their own bread. they'll still be running and actually dieting , and then and actually dieting, and then these other pigs will just be on these other pigs will just be on the sofa, just pills all day. piggy, piggy- the sofa, just pills all day. piggy, piggy just the sofa, just pills all day. piggy, piggy. just like then suddenly like, oh, i've just done a 10—k. it's so weird to me. there's bound to be negative side effects. >> certainly it's very brave new world. the a pill for everything. i quite like the idea of in the future. maybe having this intravenously connected to a video game. so if you're in like a really stressful part, you get the kind of stress and the panting and the exercise. that could be quite fun. yeah, but yeah, you know, look, we're all going to hell in a handbasket. know, look, we're all going to hell in a handbasket . this is hell in a handbasket. this is the end of civilisation. go for a jog. but also, i kind of want it. well, i mean, i've been really getting into my running recently . i'm no good at it, but recently. i'm no good at it, but i like it because it gets me out of the house for a while. the

worst thing you could do is give me a pill that means, oh, why don't you stay here and still deal with everything in the house? what if you watch a youtube video of somebody running with that? no, i still have to do all the childcare. it's the fact that i can get out of the house, away from the kids, for like a half an hour. in fact, why am i trying to run faster? if anything, i should be running slower. that would make it a lot better, wouldn't it? all right, jonathan, the telegraph and a council was forced a mother to remove a body bag. surely the council should remove the body bags. what am i paying my remove the body bags. what am i paying my taxes for ? so, mother paying my taxes for? so, mother forced to remove halloween body bag displayed by council after complaints. so this lady was instructed to remove the body bags decorations which was hanging from a tree after neighbours said the halloween display was triggering. let's have a look. it's no worse than you think. yeah, it's not. it's a bit just a body bag, is it? >> i thought it was going to be bad and incredibly that's worse. yeah. >> very strange. >> very strange. >> her husband. it's an upside down body bag in a tree. yeah. >> it does look pretty horrific. it looks like you could recognise who was in it. that's how tight it was. yeah. and the weird thing was, she put it up in august, so i don't really know what she was, what she was going for. look, it's a bit

morbid. i mean, i like halloween, i like the decorations. i think it's very fun. but at the same time, that just makes me think of brutal death and interesting and insane on the other hand, if you had killed someone, perfect disguise , killed someone, perfect disguise, that would be. >> i mean, that would be pretty like gutsy if she actually had killed someone. and she's like, and got away with it because then i would respect it otherwise. i think it's like, obviously appalling and insane. yeah, well, you know, you'd respect it otherwise. >> it's terrible. but if you're actually a murderer. yeah. well done. this in in the last minute, nick, the times has a list of most popular songs for ill people to die to , although ill people to die to, although some ed sheeran songs will make non ill people want to die as well. >> yeah, i'm glad we've squeezed in this funny light—hearted story. the ten most popular songs to die to from sinatra to cyndi lauper, this looked like a sort of light hearted story, but it's sadly not at all. but frank sinatra's my way does. well. hey jude, apparently. i mean, what can you say? i mean, it's i was hoping i'd come up with something, but this is this is more shocking than i realised. >> i think if you're going to die half way through it, you want to pick a song like up the junction by squeeze, which is really happy until the last two verses. so as long as you're out

before then, what an uplifting. >> don't you want to pick something like bohemian rhapsody? so it's so long, you never die. >> you live a bit longer. it's like if your final meal should be one of those 24 hour long, slow roasts anyway, all day buffet. so on that happy note, the show is nearly over. so let's take another quick look at thursday's front pages. the i workers get right to flexible working under new rainer law, the express goes with winter fuel. pensioners now face tax rate on that topic. telegraph £25 billion tax rise. pain on way, warns ifs the guardian phrases it as pm to vow to end austerity needs 25 billion of tax rises. the sun says . swift tax rises. the sun says. swift gait home sex free gig after pressing for vip cop escort and your daily star. shame on the team making scumbags. fair enough. team making scumbags. fair enough . those are the front enough. those are the front pages. that's all we've got time for. thank you to my guest, jonathan kogan and nick dixon. we're back tomorrow at 11 with lee aukus, kerry marx and paul cox . if you're watching at five, cox. if you're watching at five, keep watching for breakfast. i'm tony.

>> there will be a light breeze in the morning leading to a warm front . boxt heat pumps sponsors front. boxt heat pumps sponsors of weather on gb news. >> good evening. i'm here with your gb news weather from the met office as we go through into tomorrow, it is going to turn dner tomorrow, it is going to turn drier for many of us with some clearer or brighter skies. but with that , it is also going to with that, it is also going to be a bit chillier because as the low pressure that's been dominating the weather across the uk recently drifts away towards the east, we will then get a northerly flow and that northerly air is going to bring something a little bit colder for the time being, though , for the time being, though, still some clouds, some outbreaks of rain across many parts of england and wales. all of this, though shifting further southwards with clearer skies developing across scotland, northern england and northern ireland. and under these clearer skies, temperatures are going to take a bit of a drop. turning pretty chilly could be a touch of frost in some places. a milder night though across the south here it is going to be a cloudier start to tomorrow morning. there will be some

outbreaks of rain. could be the odd heavier burst, but most of this will clear through as we go through the morning for central parks. things brightening up quite quickly and also some decent bright sunny weather across parts of northern ireland, northern england and scotland . but all the time there scotland. but all the time there will be some showers around. the showers will be most likely in areas exposed to that northerly wind, so parts of northern ireland, northern scotland and down the eastern side of england and scotland as well. but even a few showers are possible elsewhere. we may see 1 or 2 showers developing in some inland places too, but for many it is going to be a much drier day than the last couple of days, and it's going to be a bit brighter. but like i said, we do have that cold air pushing its way in, so temperatures markedly lower and feeling pretty cold indeed, especially in those brisk northerly winds. as we go towards the end of the week and a bit of a north south split, developing wetter weather across northern parts of scotland, seeing some outbreaks of rain, perhaps some wintriness over the higher ground, staying drier and brighter across the southern two

thirds of the uk. however, again through the weekend , some rain through the weekend, some rain is likely, mainly in the north. i'll see you again soon . bye bye. i'll see you again soon. bye bye. >> we can expect clear skies leading to a light and warm day ahead. lovely boxt solar sponsors of weather on

platitudes.
