small for me to manage to read on there. we can go to the sun. they go with the headline 30 years of shirt. the eye is up next with cabinet split over assisted dying as vote row deepens to the metro. they go with a one word headline enough and the daily star has five storms by christmas. oh, it's festive, isn't it? well, let's start with the telegraph, paul. let's make some sense of all those words. >> yeah. ex—met boss urges non—crime hate review . and i non—crime hate review. and i think most of our viewers will understand exactly what this is about. this is the this is the non—crime hate incident law that was introduced by the tories some years ago and is now being perpetuated almost on a daily basis. it feels on against people that say unsavoury things on twitter. i think you've just committed a hate crime. i may well have done now, and it's taken an ex—met boss, and i think maybe even i'd imagine current met bosses would love to see a review on this as well.

it's from my perspective, it's become something that's quite disastrous. it's dangerous in terms of its optics. you've basically got the police turning up on people's doorsteps saying, you may have done something wrong. we're not going to tell you what it is, but you could be in trouble. and then they walk away again. >> when you do it, it's like a quiz show. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> you find out after the break. >> you find out after the break. >> exactly. and then you just shut the door and just go about your business. of course, this is disastrous. and it does need reviewing people. the police should be obviously policing the streets and not tweets. and it's about time we put an end to this madness. >> yeah, ben, i mean, makes a lot of sense. absolutely. >> they should be doing what they do best, which is stopping people going 32in a 30 zone. good. >> finally. >> finally. yes. >> finally. yes. you're absolutely right. people doing this. no. the police in general, they need to be doing proper police work, which. yeah, it needs reviewing. it needs sorting out. >> i always say like if it's the end of the day and you've done all the crimes in the country and your options are sit around and your options are sit around and play solitaire on the

windows 95, or do a non—hate crime incident, windows 95, or do a non—hate crime incident , maybe fill windows 95, or do a non—hate crime incident, maybe fill your boots, but until then, until you've prioritised them and do all the other crimes first. exactly. yeah. because if you're getting done for a hate crime thing, yeah, you want to know that every crime has been solved before then. yeah. so it's good news that that's happened. oh, absolutely. >> there's lots on the telegraph, actually. and the producers give me an a3 size. >> so it's a small headline as we found out. >> i can i can i can cover another couple of stories. actually two thirds of companies slash hiring plans after after reeves's budget. now i'm not entirely surprised by this. i doubt either of you two are ehhen doubt either of you two are either. and that's because despite all the doom and gloom, the labour did actually inherit an economy which was at top of the growth charts in the g7, albeit at 0.7%. it's now at o.1%, which puts us behind germany and france. i'm not sure in which order, but it doesn't matter because we're. >> you don't want to be behind him, do you? >> exactly. you don't want to be there. it doesn't really matter because they're foreign. steve .

because they're foreign. steve. sorry, mate. i forgot to put that in. yeah, because they're foreign. you're absolutely right, steve. i will i will learn as the night goes on. but this is just after four months, so. i mean, i can't see how reeves can say that the budget has been a success as yet. i mean, there's a lot there's a lot to there's a lot of time that needs to pass before we can really pass judgement, i guess. >> i mean, yeah, but at the moment she isn't. >> she doing just a wonderful job. they're doing a terrible job. they're doing a terrible job. you're absolutely right. >> i can give you some pushback and balance on this one. not the woman who is christine keeler, but the other one from the profumo affair that famous quote of. well, he would, wouldn't he? if you're a business owner and you have to pay a bit more national insurance, you're going to make noises right now, like, oh, no, this is a bad plan. maybe you should taxes less. of course they would, wouldn't they? >> but it's those people's confidence
