headliners. this is your first look at saturday's newspapers with three comedians. i'm chris hewitt, and even though i do sound a bit like madge bishop tonight. but i'm not. it's me. and tonight i'm joined by the unbearable sexual tension between lewis schaffer and nick dixon. how are you both.7 >> great. great to be here. and quick shout out to the lads and lasses and non—binary at the daily express, who ran a whole piece on me and lewis allegedly falling out. and the great news is, if that's national news, they've got 365 days a year of solid content because lewis annoys me every single day, even when i'm not at work. just in my head. lewis. >> well, if i annoy you every single day and we've only gotten one article out of this, we're not doing a very good job. >> we need to squeeze more content out of it. that's national news, i love that. >> well, no, i can't believe it's national news. i can't believe it either. >> that's why i didn't even like it. didn't even register for me. i've got 260 uric acid. that's my news. your news is. >> well, look forward to that in the express tomorrow. okay? right. let's have a look at those front pages. the times

leads with reeves plan will pull 1 million into higher rates of tax. the daily telegraph has reeves prepares to tax triple whammy. the daily mail has labour plots a tax raid on your holidays, and the daily mirror has cheryl's heartache. the iweekend leads with income tax set to rise for millions past 2028. and finally, the daily star repeat. and those were your front pages . front pages. okay, let's have a look at the front pages starting with the express, please. >> lewis, thank you very much. it's good news. the daily express is 220. it costs. it's always amazing when i notice this is 220. and issue is for saturday. how many more will i was going to say? it's good news. it's not good news. how many more will die before we stop the boats? this is the express and they want the boats to stop. and another guy died. it was a bit of a surprise because, well, you say another guy, another person, another baby. i guess babies are worth

more. they're a baby. and the reason why they're going by boat is if they flew into the airport, they wouldn't they wouldn't have been able to get into the airport. so this is a way for them to get into the country is by coming by boat. so it's a little baby which is smaller than a toddler and bigger than a child , smaller bigger than a child, smaller than a child. and 53 have died, 53 fatalities have died, and they're saying, we got to stop they're saying, we got to stop the boats . the boats. >> well, this is a great point. not necessarily brilliantly executed, but, nick, it's totally inhumane, isn't it? this idea that letting people come is the right thing to do. >> people die, i know, and that's why there's always sort of a humanitarian argument against it, not just a conservative argument about borders, but a generic has been very, very tough on it here. he says. we've seen more deaths this year than ever before. keir starmer is condemning people to death for his own ideology. so i'm not i'm not even sure if that's true or if it's just a competency crisis or if it's just our sort of deep state. we can't do anything about this . we

can't do anything about this. we don't seem to be able to. but yeah, for some. but it is shocking. it's got to stop. starmer has promised to smash the gangs, but he hasn't smashed anything, as far as i can tell. >> but it is. it is true people. they are sacrificing people, but they're thinking probably more people would die if we actually did something about it. it's like preventing a war. it's like you don't want to kill the leader of hamas because more people will wind up getting killed. or you think to yourself, if you kill the leader of hamas, less people will die. >> if we stop the boats, why would more people die ? would more people die? >> because they would find other ways of coming in, because they're countries that they're living in, are so absolutely horrible that they can't, that they can't survive there. so they're going to die there . and they're going to die there. and this is their way of and it means we're bad people . means we're bad people. >> this is the worst possible way of coming in on a dinghy and incredibly dangerous crossing it is the worst possible way, but it's still better than them dying and us being exposed as being not loving people. >> it's all about love optics. >> it's all about love optics. >> it's all about love optics. >> i think you want the word optics. is there anything else you'd like to look at on here? there's a picture of the queen looking lovely . looking lovely. >> yes, a picture of the queen.

she was stumbling down the stairs. i saw a little bit of the video he's returning with his young bride and to australia, where he had some good times. and i think some people are saying he's going to die. that means he's going to die, because why would you want to go to australia? >> yeah, i think australia's very nice. nick, let's have a look at saturday's daily. >> that was a joke. that was a joke. >> that was a joke. express. so labour plots a tax
