>> hello. it's 11:00, which means >> hello. it's11:00, which means it's time for tomorrow's newspapers tonight. join us over the next hour to find out why a grooming gang detective has said keir starmer is as guilty as anyone over the scandal, while labour's wes streeting is in hot water with cold pensioners and why meghan markle has joined the tradwife trend. i'm leo pearson tonight i've got the comedians paul cox and kerry marx taking you through friday's top stories. there they are. don't they look ready? this is headliners. but before we look at saturday's news, let's go to tonight's headlines with sam francis. >> while the top story tonight. nigel farage has rejected any

links between his party and tommy robinson after elon musk threw his support behind the jailed activist. a reform uk conference in leicester. earlier, farage made it clear that robinson, who is currently serving time for contempt of court, isn't someone his party needs. that's despite mr musk calling him a hero for standing up to grooming gangs. well, our political editor, chris hope, asked farage earlier if elon musk had become a political risk to reform uk. >> britain's been terribly badly led and that the grooming scandal, the mass rape scandal, which has resurfaced and transcripts of what was said in court have been online and i recommend you at home. don't read them. you won't sleep at night. and so, yes, he is attacking the leadership in britain. he's very supportive of me. he's very supportive of the party. >> elon musk's comments on grooming gangs have been slammed today by the home secretary health secretary, rather as misjudged and misinformed, the billionaire accused sir keir starmer of inaction and said

safeguarding minister jess safeguarding ministerjess phillips deserves prison over her comments of exploitation in oldham. the conservatives have also criticised musk for sharing what they described as factually inaccurate claims, and warned against distracting from survivors needs. but wes streeting has hit back, urging musk to help tackle rape gangs. >> look, when it comes to tackling the serious issue of child sexual exploitation and abuse, i do think that online giants, social media companies have got a big part to play in helping us to identify and prosecute perpetrators of child sexual exploitation and abuse. so whether it's elon musk or anyone else, if those leaders of those giants want to work with this government, we're willing to work with tech giants to make sure that we keep young people safe online and free from exploitation. >> flu cases in hospitals across england have quadrupled in a month, with over 5000 patients treated just last week alone.

nhs chiefs are warning of intense pressures as the virus pushes hospitals to breaking point amid what's expected this weekend. a cold snap health officials are urging vulnerable people to stay warm and ensure medications are on hand, with just 37% of people deemed at risk vaccinated so far. emergency department waits are also worsening, with over 12,000 patients stuck in ambulances for an hour or more last week. hospitals are adding beds and support, but nhs leaders say the system remains in national vulnerability. the uk is bracing for a bitter arctic blast this weekend, with fresh amber warnings for snow and ice across england and wales. temperatures plunged to —8.1 degrees overnight, bringing widespread frost and treacherous conditions. the severe weather warnings will cover northern england, the midlands and much of wales from tomorrow evening and all of england remains under amber cold weather health alerts, with vulnerable groups increased risk. well, those are the latest headlines for now.

the bleeding. obvious. that's wes streeting telling people to put on a jumper if it gets cold. okay, let's take a closer look at those front pages, starting with saturday's mail. paul. >> yeah, the daily mail's starmer guilty as anyone over grooming gangs. and this is the words of ex—detective maggie oliver, of course, a whistleblower and features heavily in charlie peters explosive and excellent report for gb news. and she thinks the pm must bear some responsibility for the widespread failure to bfing for the widespread failure to bring those responsible to justice. and she went to it onto x and said those leading these inquiries have always wanted to cover up the truth, to hide it. and i'd say it's become even worse in recent months with those who dare to speak out finding themselves in prison. within a couple of days, when victims wait six, seven, eight years for a trial, corrupt and just wrong. so, look, let's make no mistake. this is britain's darkest secret currently. and we should be thanking people like

elon musk for talking about it. and as far as i'm concerned, almighty hell should be unleashed on anybody who has stood in the way of justice. how the uk can look the rest of the world in the eye until we have a full and transparent public national inquiry over the child grooming gang scandal is beyond me. and i don't care if the whole house of cards comes tumbling down and every elite big fat cat gets exposed. we have to do this and we have to do it now. >> i mean, it does seem there are suspicions that that's why it's not being turned over and cast into the light, because so many people in the establishment would get dragged down by this. and, you know, there's implications here that keir starmer might be one of them. i mean, he was he was director of the head of the crown prosecution service from there's a bad smell to all of this and yes heads will roll and jess phillips being criticised for

not wanting to be a part of this or not wanting to encourage it, and whether that's also to protect keir starmer for the same reason. >> but and she's supposed to be the safeguarding minister, this is not much in the way of safeguarding otherwise other than safeguarding her electability and her constituency, where she did complain last time during the general election of election intimidation. >> so i imagine she's really fearful of this, you know, and a lot of people are. >> so yeah, this is, as you said, a former detective makes it sound like she's just, you know, followed some clues and solve this. but of course, she was deeply involved in the case. >> yeah, she was in she was working for greater manchester police at the time. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> and was one of the a lot of pubuc >> and was one of the a lot of public servants came forward not not just in the police but in other parts of social care and things like that. some of them, some of them were incredibly they were sent on diversity training when they when they said, oh, we've got these pakistani muslim gangs that are targeting white and sikh girls. sure they were. they were sent on diversity training because the diversity training seems to be there to reinforce to

instruct people what the correct opinions are rather than to actually improve, you know, any, any of the issues. >> it's a mind game, really. and when you get into the detail of all this, you find so much from victims who were told they were being racist by even calling it in the first place. >> i'm going to read this. why don't you just read out some of her stuff? and i think this paragraph is particularly strong is we all know what's going on, but i don't trust a single one of those who, to date, have been entrusted with keeping our children safe and prosecuting serial rapists. they've failed repeatedly, knowingly, criminally. this is very strong stuff. and i've seen today it's been interesting to watch typical social media explosion in both directions. and so there's a lot of people, people i know in the business and so on as well, who i think have moved into the realm of rape apologists right now and sort of want to play all this down and they want to say yes, but white people do this and so on, which is that's not relevant to this case. it's about her. >> it's whataboutery. >> it's whataboutery. >> yeah, it's whataboutery, but it's also a massive difference. it's someone in your household, if you're one of your family has

dangerous nutty moments and so on, that's a problem for your family. if you have a houseguest who's doing it, that's different. you know, that's a different. you know, that's a different discussion completely. but also, let's get keep getting back to this is about the victims. it's not about the prime minister. it's not about whose heads are going to roll. that's all inconsequential. that happens as a result. and with all the discussion going on on both sides, people wanted to play both sides, people wanted to play it down. but i think he's playing up. >> i think it is important that people are brought to justice. >> no, i do, but what i'm saying is that's secondary to let's give the victims some closure on what happened and why, and can it be stopped from ever happening again. i completely agree, whoever's heads roll, that's that's what happens. >> and paul, i mean, it's great to see america bringing its diplomatic weight. i mean, trump isn't even in office yet. he will be soon. but there's the threat. bill ackman, for example, has suggested sanctions against britain because i mean, as has been pointed out on this channel, i think nick dixon pointed it out. if there's a country with a dictator who is allowing people to do this, allowing people to do this, allowing his, you know, his preferred group of people who

who are, you know, giving favouritism to, to run around raping children. we would we would press sanctions on that country for its behaviour. yeah, absolutely. >> and let's not forget this didn't happen last week. yeah, you'd think so. well, given given it could well have happened last week as well. that's a very good point. it could be happening right now unfortunately. but that's why it's important that because elon musk is being criticised right now. and i've been the first to say previously that i wouldn't you know, i'd be sceptical of foreign influence in uk politics. however, when home grown people in power have done absolutely nothing year after yean absolutely nothing year after year, party after party, organisation after organisation, then elon musk is very welcome to come in and say, what on earth is going on here? >> yeah, yeah, it's as much wrong for him to get involved as it is sad that if he's having to get involved. yeah, absolutely. both sides of it are true. >> absolutely. maybe, maybe they'll storm the beaches and retake britain. >> i think whatever happens with this, because of all the talk

going on and because we need everyone needs to know what is the actual truth here, what happened, who did what, who knew what, who didn't do anything? yeah. enquiry. enquiry. enquiry. there needs to be an inquiry. absolutely. >> yeah. well, we need to move on. but i've got to read out this right of reply from the home office. so they've said no child should ever suffer sexual abuse or exploitation. everyone who's responsible for children's welfare must learn from past mistakes and do everything possible to prevent future failures. and jess phillips, a safeguarding minister, jess phillips, responded to the council's request, acknowledging the strength of feeling that a further inquiry into child sexual exploitation in oldham should be undertaken in letters to the council executive. phillips apologised for delays in responding, but maintained that local authorities should take the lead, saying it is for oldham council alone to decide to commission an inquiry into child sexual exploitation locally, rather than for the government to intervene, and she welcomed the council's resolution to continue its work with victims and survivors. okay, moving on. we've got the

daily telegraph that was really helpful. >> that statement, by the way, changes everything, doesn't it? back to what i said. let's have an inquiry. yeah. okay, so we're on the daily telegraph and i'll rush out a few of the smaller stories at the bottom. paul, jump stories at the bottom. paul, jump in if you want to. the french prefer beer to wine for the first time. so now they've finally realised that beer is better than their wine. i don't know what we're supposed to do with that story. if you're going to a party in france, you should now take beer. >> i wouldn't, i think that's what i'm taking. >> that's all i've gained. >> that's all i've gained. >> is this because beer has become fancier? it's become punchier and more expensive now. it's now it tastes of flowers and washing up liquid. it used to just tasted punchier. >> of course, being a french word. yeah. >> other things going on. pm and trump braced for free speech battle, which i don't think that's what i think it is. if that's what i think it is. if that's like an aggressive roast between the prime minister and trump, i'm watching. i really want to see that happen. maybe we can have like a boxing ring for it happening. netherlands names nazi collaborators. so what's happening is the laws changed. they're allowing them to now release documents that say how many nazi collaborators

there were. and it turns out it's the whole country. absolutely everyone. there's actually 32 million people, million pages of just lists and lists of names. 32 million. >> so these nazi collaborators from the second world war. yeah. >> you know, who would have thought so in such an anti—semitic country? >> 32 million pages. >> 32 million pages. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, for the netherlands, that sounds like an inflated figures. >> it could well be. >> it could well be. >> that can't possibly be right. there weren't 32 million people in the netherlands. unless, you know, i don't want to be a netherlands denier. >> it's not 32 million people. it's 32 million pages with several people on each page. yeah. >> there's more. there's at least 100 million people in a country with 25 million people that are nazi sympathisers. >> are there any important stories? >> well, i mean, kerry said he was going to read a few of the small stories at the bottom of the page, and he read them all. god bless him. fast, fast track nhs care for asylum seekers. so this is quite an incredible story actually. migrants seen in under 15 minutes while general

pubuc under 15 minutes while general public sit in growing waiting lists. >> that's horrible. come and get it down to ten minutes. well it's incredible. >> so having to wait, just give some context because obviously the headline is designed to wind up many of us, including me and leo, but 12 hour delays are about the average expected in a&e. okay. for us, for us, for asylum. me and you go in. however, if you are an illegal immigrant, specifically an illegal immigrant, someone without papers, or perhaps a homeless person, or maybe a drug addict, and i'm not putting any of those three together. >> well, as a scottish man, i'm usually one of them. >> yeah. so he could be all three, mate. but so this this was under an initiative, i think it was called something like nine, eight, seven. something like that. it's like they misspelled the emergency code, but it, it, it was designed to help people that didn't have papers to get through. but what it's managed to achieve is record breaking times in which you can be seen in a&e when you compare that with people that are going like elderly people, grandparents, family members go in and they die on the trolley outside. it's a bit of a scandal, to be honest.

>> yeah, this is absolutely disgusting. i mean, you know, people coming here are being elevated above british people who've paid into the system. i mean, the system is surely there for british people. i hate to sound, you know, nationalist or patriotic, but can't we can we at least can we at least have the same rights as asylum seekers, please? yes. the british people who built this system, it's also this is so much the conversation at the moment. >> how do they expect this to go down with the public? >> congratulations. >> congratulations. >> i like the fact there's a line here. i can't find the line. it's in two small writing for me right now, but it says something about one of their. one of the reasons for doing this is because the asylum seekers come in with more diseases . they bring diseases diseases. they bring diseases thatis diseases. they bring diseases that is immediately racist. >> imagine if we were the ones saying that. i mean, i think leo did once on his own show, but but there's also another story, which i think is really interesting to say, by the way, that there is a there's a loophole here is to if you do have any urgent conditions, relinquish your citizenship, leave this country, then come back straight away, dress up as an asylum seeker, dress up as a

jihadi and turn up. >> yeah, you're in. >> yeah, you're in. >> and this other story about net zero fines? >> yes. yeah. net zero fines. i just had visions of walking into a&e with a dinghy over my back. net zero fines to kill off cheap car deals. so this is harsh. net zero fines. which car makers are going to be suffering from. they're going to take those fines and essentially stop producing or helping sell petrol, second hand cars. so if you want to go and buy one between now and 2030 good luck. >> what if i want to sell mine though? >> well, are you going to sell it then? yeah, maybe. but i mean, are you going to sell it to you? potentially. i mean, let's remind everyone. net zero. we're supposed to be hit the half target by 2030 and full net zero by 2050. i mean, impossible, we can't even keep our old people warm and just let the market do it. >> this is not the time to be laying fines of £15,000 a car on on on essentially going to have to be paid by the buyers. but moving on, let's, let's try and squeeze in the mirror because luke littler has had a very good evening. >> yeah. great stuff. nice

little earner. this is the story is essentially about teen sensation luke littler world champion teen sensation. i should say he's the ace is set for a £50 million career. i think he'll probably end up with a lot more than that and all power to his elbow. literally. great. but i watched this tonight. i watched this as i prepared for headliners. yeah, this this is the this is a prodigy. he really is. he beat michael van gerwen who's a three time world champion. and it was like he was just playing a small boy. and that's not to be disrespectful towards michael van gerwen because he played, he played as well as he possibly could do. but luke littler is different. gravy. he's absolutely a level above and congratulations to him. >> i'm not going to have my opinion on this. yes. go on. >> it's darts. it's the soul of britain. yeah i remember they banned walk on girls. >> i'm happy for him. >> i'm happy for him. >> they banned walk on girls at the darts, which enabled feminists to start enjoying their back again. >> by the way, are they back again? yeah, there's. there's pom poms. i think that's what they call them.

>> this is where you're watching anyway. that's the front pages done. coming up. elon musk is in trouble for highlighting the grooming gang scandal. will they will they manage to shoot the messenger and why? trump doesn't want us to tax north sea oil? and is the government keeping us safe enough from terrorism? this is headliners only on gb

welcome back to headliners. we've got the independent now with more bad news for the tories as another tory mp jumps ship. this time it's marco longhi. isn't that a brand of coffee machine, paul? yes, please. >> former consecutive consecutive conservative. sorry, i'm still laughing at something we said in the break. former conservative mp marco longhi defects to nigel. nigel farage's reform uk party the break. >> are you okay? >> are you okay? >> ex—mp attacks tories, saying the party of churchill and

thatcher, like we need reminding, has transformed into something unrecognisable. in another blow to new conservative leader kemi badenoch, it's a death of a thousand cuts for the conservatives at the moment, leo, isn't it? it really is. >> the letter out of cuts there? >> the letter out of cuts there? >> yes. i think they might well have done. this is what happens, though, when you sell your voters down the river and you sell your voters down the river, thinking they have got no one else to vote for. and then ha ha, nigel farage and reform come sailing along and pick every one of these people up. and it's growing and it's growing and it's growing and goodness only knows where it's going to end, perhaps with a new prime minister one day. >> yeah, possibly. i mean, the odds are the odds are looking good for nigel farage actually being the next prime minister. and it's interesting here that marco longhi says that the tories have been captured by a left wing influence that masquerades as conservatism at election time, while prioritising the wishes of an elite few when in power. that's pretty damning words, and it

kind of validates what other people have said about the conservatives. they're not conservative anymore. >> yeah, but at the same time, reform are on a rise at the moment, which and the conservatives are exactly where you'd expect them to be after 14 years of power and, and the way in which they, they sort of just dropped out of nowhere. and of course, it's still going kemi's got a hell of a gig on to really to try and bring the conservatives back in time. and i think she might say if it was just the conservatives for labour right now, then it's down to labour killing themselves, you know, which they're sort of doing, they're doing so much damage to their own reputation that tories might have a chance, but it looks like farage is going to take a lot of that. yeah. and the same is not happening on the other side. it's not that labour is losing a lot of votes to corbyn's totally based on one identity 2000 miles away, whilst ignoring all the other suffering identities across the middle east, africa and the rest of the world party. so that's not happening on that side. but there is a, i guess there is from the left as well. >> going towards there is the on the left, there is the muslim

vote. so, you know, there's a bloc of 5 or 6 mps who got elected on on muslim issues. essentially. and, and that's likely to grow and i think nearly was nearly a much more substantial bloc. do you think that's likely to grow. yeah. yeah. >> i mean i can see it definitely. i mean, both jess phillips, god bless him, that party and wes streeting in particular came very, very close to being beaten by independents a few hundred votes. and that's only going to get worse for them, i think if reform grow, because you're going to end up with reform being labelled as the anti—muslim party, and every, every mosque in the country will rally against that, and that will see out a few of the labour voters. sorry, labour mps that they would normally have been voted in. and of course, the red wall that was the blue wall was now the red wall again, i don't know. >> hold on. are you talking about for the next local elections or by the next general election? well, i would think whatever's going on in the middle east will have changed so dramatically. yeah. >> by that time, i don't mean i don't i don't mean to associate

it with the middle east whatsoever. what's going on in this country and this country alone is, is , is so relevant now alone is, is, is so relevant now when it comes to the comes to the independent muslim mps, they are standing on blasphemy laws. they are standing against traditional british cultural values and they are winning. and when reform not winning in huge numbers. but i don't see them. i don't see them getting attacked. yeah. >> and of course the population is growing at a clip. moving on. we've got the guardian now and musk has been accused of politicising the grooming gang scandal. i think it should be politicised since politics is how you fix things like this. kyrie. >> yes. and after all, he is in a political position right now with with trump. so it's hardly surprising. it's you know, it's an odd one that that we talked about this before about him stepping in. but what's interesting here i'm seeing is just the way the guardian and the telegraph, which we mentioned only a few moments ago, are both approaching this in different ways. so they they've both found their expert within opinion. and what the

telegraph went with was maggie oliver, who of course, ex—detective, who was involved with the case and what the guardian are going with is an ex—health worker who's giving opinions here about musks motives. she's saying that he that his intentions are wrong and so on. but why is the guardian publishing a view of an ex—health worker on the motives behind anything? >> because it's all they've got, saying it's all they've got. >> why do the left always focus on the motives, as opposed to the reality of what's happened to these girls and what needs to be done about it, and justice being served. >> i'm also just saying that she is not an expert on the motives. she's not a psychologist. why is she? why are they doing this anyway? uk needed to get to the bottom of the motivations of paedophile rings, which she said were often dominated by asian men. so actually she's on the same , you know, she is saying same, you know, she is saying there's something there to investigate, but then they get into the father of girl a, and this is what they quote, the father of girl a, who was one of the victims, the man who whose eldest daughter was known as girl a during court proceedings,

said, it is strange that the richest man in the world has got time to start getting involved in uk politics. now, whether he said that as some kind of side note or not is interesting, because in the same story of the telegraph, they also talked to the same man who is the father of girl a, and he says there's a whole page without mentioning that at all. the father of the victim of the rochdale scandal backed calls for a national inquiry into britain's untouchable grooming gangs. and then he talks for a paragraph to paragraph. why that would be an important thing to do. yeah, and the guardian have left that out completely. >> so they've cherry picked the data to suit their agenda. we've got the i newsnow and the government is under fire for not erecting diversity barriers to stop islamist attacks. i can think of another solution that doesn't require barriers. >> paul, i'm just laughing because you called them diversity barriers. a permanent anti—terrorism, permanent anti—terrorism, permanent anti—terror barriers still not built across uk despite 2017 attacks. so the uk has failed to install permanent anti—terror barriers, terror barriers in key pubuc barriers, terror barriers in key public locations such as edinburgh's royal mile and

london bridge. more than seven years after the london bridge attack in 2017. and i find this fascinating, i find the psychology of this fascinating. we have taken things for granted, haven't we? somewhat. we we've stopped being shocked by these barriers now. and this is it's almost become an inevitable part of life. we've designed our cities to protect us against these types of attacks. >> and you can see when they forget to put the barriers up or the barriers aren't perfect, like at the german christmas market or new orleans, people can get through and slaughter dozens. >> whilst i believe that we should have these barriers because we have to unfortunately. instead, why are we not talking about or why should we not be discussing why we're allowing this type of hatred of western societies , hatred of western societies, internal within western societies, to be able to perform these terror attacks on a ridiculously regular basis? yeah, absolutely. >> and also if there is a terror attack in the royal mile, it's going to be very difficult to know who the victims are,

because youth drama groups always like to lie on the cobbles holding up the flyers. >> there's one for the edinburgh goers. yeah. yes, absolutely. >> and also they're saying they can't afford it in edinburgh, but they could just take the money they make from, from accommodation for comedians from one flat and they make a fortune. this story is basically a load of old bollards as they, as they know it is. and it's lovely. the barriers to security. obviously you want to move on, but yes, anyway, build the things you deserve to get them to come. >> a teacher is in trouble for calling a pupil a fat slug. i've got to be careful how i pronounce that. keir starmer is skipping a q and is meghan trying to appeal to right wing men? this is headliners on gb news.

welcome back to headliners. let's have a look at tomorrow's front pages. the times leads with starmer in trump's site. the daily mail has starmer as guilty as anyone over

grooming gangs. that's according to whistleblower maggie oliver. the daily express says it's a cop out on social care reforms. the i leads with starmer faces growing threat from reform over migration, poll reveals. and the mirror has a nice little earner that's luke littler, who just won the darts, and the daily star has secretary, secretary of state for the bleeding. obvious. that's wes streeting, which is the story we're going into now. wes streeting has ordered cold pensioners to just wear more clothes. i thought he was a socialist. he sounds more like ayn rand. >> yeah, but that's the word on the street. wes streeting says pensioners should layer up as millions struggle without winter fuel payment. it's an embarrassing situation for them, isn't it? because what can he say, really? they've put out a yellow warning for snow, which i thought that meant don't eat the snow. it's a different kind of yellow warning, apparently, but it covers most of england and wales, and apparently it's going to be worse in scotland. and why they mentioned that that's a given, isn't it? because everything's worse in scotland. you should know that. so here's

the advice he has given to beafing the advice he has given to bearing in mind that what he would really like to say is we're going to give old people heating, but he can't say that. so what he said instead is layer up and then, you know, that's brilliant. but there's more. he said, turn the heating on. wow, paul said, turn the heating on. wow, paul, really? >> that's amazing advice, isn't it? >> this is our this is our health secretary, by the way, and this is his job for the next two months. >> you can see how he got the job is to go on to tv and just say, come on, guys, it's getting cold. >> wrap up warm. i know you can't afford to turn your heating on. some of you may even be dead listening to this, but please do wrap up warm even if you are dead. >> and of course, our advice would be to strip naked and whip each other with birch twigs. >> we certainly will be doing that ourselves. >> does that that's on you. we did not agree to that. so do not do that honestly. go and put oil under your feet. don't slip around. have fun. >> good luck finding a birch tree in britain. >> yeah, totally. but guess what the conservatives. sorry. what? the labour party has defended themselves with about all this is 22,000,000 billion black hole. >> oh really? the black hole

again. let's come back. >> so lovely bit of black hole nonsense. >> and actually age uk said it might be bad advice apparently. so. wearing more layers and staying in bed for longer might have worked for older people when the weather was mild, but now it's got really cold and there's snow and frost around. it won't be enough to keep them adequately warm, so there's some cheery stuff, so you're whipping themselves. >> might be a good idea, actually. that keeps you warm, doesn't it? >> yeah, i've tried it. anyway, we've got the times now, and a teacher is in trouble for calling a child a fat slug. yeah, that's a fat slug, not the viz characters. it sounds much worse in some accents. kyrie. >> yeah. oh, i've got the wrong story here, but ten do you want to start with it? >> and i'll head called pupil. fat slug avoids teaching ban. >> hold on. why did you go to me when fat slug anyway? that's why i've got out of this. >> it's yours. >> it's yours. >> it's yours paul, do you want to take it from there? >> don't make me sprinkle some salt on both of you. >> so nicola brogan made abusive remarks about primary school children, teachers, parents and a conduct hearing found. so this

was this all took place in a in a in a in a whatsapp group, believe it or not. and you know i can't believe it. yeah i mean i can't believe it. yeah i mean i didn't know this sort of thing went on in in whatsapp groups but never in a whatsapp group i've been in. nope, nope. never seen names. never seen anything like that. not at all. but i mean, i'll read out some of these things. she was based. she seriously. she described one male member of staff as captain camp. and we'll leave that up to your imagination. why? in reference to his sexuality, in actual fact, referred to someone as a fat f and finish that sentence. no, and i can't and i can't afford the rest of that one. i can't finish the rest of the sentence either. >> can we say that? >> can we say that? >> no, no we can't. no. >> well, another person called to say it. >> no, i'm actually getting well, there's a scottish. there's someone of scottish heritage. heritage was referred to as an effing jock. >> oh, she went too far. >> oh, she went too far. >> she went too far. >> she went too far. >> that was the nicest thing i could find. >> scottish phobia. yes. this is the this is the plague of

britain in 2024. but i mean, she she got amazing results. carrie. she she led woodland community primary school out of special measures primarily by calling people names. >> yes. she's either funny and underappreciated or she's an awful human being. i can't really work it out. i thought she had said a thing, but it turns out there's just loads of these here. >> so turns out special measures was what she called one of the children as well. what was that? special measures was a nickname. >> yeah, i do like that. the panel concluded that brogan's actions amounted to unacceptable professional conduct, but said that not recommending their not recommending a prohibition order and that was a proportionate response. how lovely to see a proportionate response in this day and age. >> i know that's a good point. >> i know that's a good point. >> i know that's a good point. >> i said some things they've said, don't say it again. carry on with your work. yeah. wow. >> i nearly lost my job reading about it. >> yeah, a bit of common sense. moving on. we've got the daily mail now and keir starmer jumped mail now and keir starmerjumped a three hour queue while on holiday. honestly, does this guy even british. >> he's unbelievable. honestly. prepare yourself for some more keir shenanigans moment keir

starmer skipped three hour line for toboggan ride during family houday for toboggan ride during family holiday to madeira. our our producer mariano is from madeira. actually she's lovely and so is madeira. i'm told. the labour leader was escorted to the front of the line on a trip to the portuguese atlantic island of madeira, ahead of others who had waited up to three hours for their turn. in footage shared on social media, one yelled at keir starmer get to the back of the queue now who would have thought it? the evil prosecutor doesn't like to queue. i'm surprised that heckler didn't get two years in prison. the more we learn about keir starmer, the less there is to like and there is nothing to like in the first place. >> you don't like him, do you? >> you don't like him, do you? >> no, i do not like him at all. >> no, i do not like him at all. >> there's so many clues in the things that you say that i can work out. yeah. so look, on the one hand, i would say there should be some perks of the job. >> yeah, right. >> yeah, right. >> and on holiday, keir starmer, you get away with pushing who's queuing for three hours to go on a toboggan anyway. i would push in front of them. that's a good

point. okay. what kind of idiots i've been on. >> i've allowed my dislike of starmer to. >> there could have been, there could have been sick kids who didn't get to go in the toboggan because of keir starmer. no, i should point out, just in keir starmer's defence, local authorities on the island said that he should skip the queue. so he was just he was only following orders. >> but yes, but his excuse used before i believe it's also he's a prime minister. >> you don't want to get assassinated waiting in a toboggan queue, do you? that would be very embarrassing. >> ignominious way to get assassinated. >> that's terrible. terrible. >> that's terrible. terrible. >> but after the free the free gift scandal, this was, like, the dumbest thing possible to do, wasn't it? two tier toboggan rides. he should be. he should be queuing for everything and paying be queuing for everything and paying for absolutely everything and for a good few months yet as well. >> no. no holidays. just working in a salt mine, wearing, wearing a itchy shirt. we've got the guardian now reporting on the number one issue for leftists this week. tuberculosis in pakistan's transgender community. kyrie. very odd story. >> shunned and shamed pakistan's trans community finally, finally

gets help for tb. so this is a town in in pakistan. i'm going town in in pakistan. i'm going to say rawalpindi. am i good? >> that's brilliant. >> that's brilliant. >> yeah, i thought brilliant. i've got the job. it might be. so there's a transgender community. this is partly what it is now they are able to go to screening camps for tb. right. which and this is partly to do with some changes in the law in pakistan. but i think it's also to do with in this similar stuff going on in some other islamic countries where being gay is completely wrong, and being trans is a kind of midway that allows you to go in iran. >> so being gay, being gay is punished, punishable by death. i believe in iran. so they give gay men the choice. you can either transition to being a woman, which makes it okay. yes, or we can kill you. >> yeah, there's your choices. >> yeah, there's your choices. >> and yeah, it's sort of like having liberal parents in the uk. >> yes. >> yes. >> who would have thought it? the country that brought us a grooming gangs isn't tolerant of trans people. i mean, it's

stories like this that make us realise just how different our cultures are. and it's sorry to see and it's a shame i feel i do feel sorry for these people, but it's just highlighting yet again that we have some way between us and them. >> yeah, it does seem it does seem to be the same. >> can you imagine if the guardian was reporting that there's one town, one little town in britain where where people who are trans or anything can get scanned for tb? that would be terrible, wouldn't it? that would be a shock to find out how awful our country is. well, yeah. and here they're doing it in the opposite way. they're going, hey guess what. >> well, and the stigma, the stigma and everything, they're, they're subjected to which will be coming to the uk soon, no doubt with the with the cultures growing here. will the telegraph now with more proof that lockdown was a horrific mistake that did more harm than good. it made a generation of babies stupider. >> well, stupid babies. oh no dean >> well, stupid babies. oh no dear, oh dear. lockdown babies can't respond to their own name. they're not dogs. so no, but they are babies. children who were born during lockdown and

started school this year are unable to respond to their own names, experts have warned. almost three quarters. that's like 75% of teachers said you weren't born during lockdown. so covid babies, i.e. babies born in 2020, were more had more pronounced difficulties than previous year groups, including 44% who said they were much less school ready. wow. i mean, it's almost as if, like you say, lockdowns have turned out to be much worse for people than covid ever was. >> a lot of unintended consequences. >> yeah, well, and there were some warning signs actually. but someone said lockdown longer and harder. i think that might have been keir starmer. it's time to, you know this we should be slightly i should add some balance here for a change. i mean i'm just getting on my hobby horse about keir starmer tonight. but there has been a trend towards kids not being school ready for some time, but it does seem to be overly pronounced from the kids that were born during that period of 2020 to 2021. and it's a worry.

and amongst those things are people, not kids not being toilet trained. yeah. and what what is happening is schools are getting in touch with parents and saying, look, when you and you're told this as a parent, i know your your child will will be there in the next year or two. you are told that they really should be toilet trained. >> i was told that when i got to work. >> yeah, a yeah, but you know, but they're finding they put it back on. honestly i'm trying i'm trying to deliver serious news. yeah i'm not actually. but it's a huge worry and it's just it's just one more thing isn't it? >> i'm going to say we don't know. we don't know. this is because of lockdown. it could just be that for two years babies were born stupid. yeah. or maybe people are using screens for no reason that we figured out yet. sorry. >> could be screens. >> could be screens. >> it could be what? >> it could be what? >> screens, like babies are on screen screens or just. >> they just happen to be born stupid. suddenly we don't know. yeah, but they called the lockdown babies and covid babies, which that's how i was. i was talking about this at the time saying there's going to be a covid generation. yeah, you

know, they're going to grow up and they're all going to be having to keep two metres apart from each other and wearing masks and washing their hands constantly. we don't exactly what you say. we do not know. it's going to take years to discover the full human cost of what happened back there. >> well, still to come. should you eat weeds? the guardian asks if it's okay to abuse people online. and what happens when you quit alcohol. well, you might feel better, but people do get uglier. this is headliners only on gb news. >> you're looking happy. >> you're looking happy. >> well, the forecast looks good. >> so you've sorted the travel insurance then allclear travel insurance sponsors gb news travel destinations forecast. >> hello, here's your latest winter sun forecast for gb news. >> over the next few days, things will be turning more unsettled across southern parts of europe. >> we'll see a few showers across the canary islands and madeira on friday. >> some sunshine to sunshine for southern parts of spain. rain further north and as we head into central and southeastern

parts of europe, much more in the way of unsettled weather. here. >> plenty of rain around, some snow on the hills and temperatures will be struggling in places too. as for the next few days into the weekend and the start of next week, we hold on to that mixed theme. plenty of sunshine, but further showers at times as well. >> travel insurance sponsors gb news travel.

>> welcome back to headliners. we've got the daily mail now and if you go to the gym, then the bane of your life is probably the new year's resolution crowd joining for a week in january. but this gym has a solution, paul >> yeah, big problem for me. leo, meet the gym owner who has banned new members from joining this january, and why his existing gym goers love him for it. i say meet him. he's not here. it's not me, obviously, but this is this is clinton. this is clinton. leah. great name mate is taking an unconventional approach and turning down new starters at the busiest time of year. i'll give

him. i'll give his place a shout out as well. ascendancy fitness in warrington, cheshire, cheshire. and i think that luke littler is from warrington as well. >> oh really? maybe that's where he exercises his elbow. >> i felt exactly the same way about mcdonald's when they introduced a new burger. it feels right up. i can't get my i can't get my usual seat. it's a right problem. i understand this, i understand this exactly the same. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it's so similar to the situation. i don't i don't agree with this guy at all, by the way. i think he's i think he's wrong to decide other people. i think he's a miserable, controlling, judgemental freak who's telling other people why and how they should. >> you try and sound like a gym owner at all, i don't think. >> yeah, exactly. i, i look, i think he's been a busy body and going he says here when people can't join, they say, he says you should have joined sooner. and then they say, where is the bit i'm looking for here? right? he says the only negative response people have is a case of i was going to join, but now i can't. right? well, what other response is that's like, that's like, that's like you slap me around the face and then go.

kerry's only response was how that hurts. so it's fine. like obviously their response is, i can't join. let people join a gym and don't judge them. and or maybe you could say to them, join a different time and have a talk with them. but this is just like this is just arrogant. >> join in november. we've got the daily mail now with news for anyone doing dry. jan, she's asked if you can use some lube. >> kerry this is arrogant as well. no, i'm just getting in the mood now. >> section four is where you've got angry. >> yeah, exactly what actually happens to you to your body when you give up alcohol for dry january? this is the daily mail. who then don't tell you exactly what happens. they tell you generally, what we all know is there are going to be some changes. and so some of her tips for the person they're giving advice from for abstaining include setting realistic goals. brilliant idea. find a palatable substitute, drink. amazing. avoid temptations and practice how to say no. who'd have thought that? this is absolutely amazing advice? brilliant. so it'll improve your sleep? it will. there's a whole page on the fact that it'll improve your sleep. your weight could change. possibly. it might be good for

your skin. i don't know whether your skin. i don't know whether you grow new skin or something. it just says skin here, liver. you get a new liver, i'm guessing. i'm guessing you were less angry about the front pages. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> let's try and quickly squeeze these last two in, because we've got the telegraph now. and never mind eating ze bugs, they want us to eat ze weeds. paul. >> yeah, exactly why we should all be eating weeds. this wasn't written by my five year old nephew. if your council is falling, sorry. if your council is failing to keep on top of weeds in your area, consider this the overgrown swathe of plants in your local park or on roadside verges could be part of your next meal. oh, they're going to put farmers out of business. outrageous. >> my garden is overgrown. come eat it. >> you know. >> you know. >> get people into this. >> get people into this. >> there's a lot of dogs mess in those fields. yes. >> so they're saying don't eat the stuff near the sides of the road. don't eat roadkill. don't. don't eat nasty stuff in it. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> this is basically for what's going to happen after four years of labour. >> yeah. no, absolutely. this is yeah. we're turning to venezuela

and quickly we've got the guardian weirdly asking if an onune guardian weirdly asking if an online abuser is right, but it's okay because he's abusing right wing people who they have decided are evil and deserve it. >> kyrie, this is one of those most nonsense. this is the guardian allowing you you be the judge. should my boyfriend stop trolling right wing social media accounts? no, you should just not have a boyfriend of any kind because you've written to the guardian to discuss a problem that you should be discussing with your boyfriend. this is. this is a chat. have a coffee with him. talk about it. but instead, the people of the guardian get to vote on that. and they also get to vote on whether someone called. okay, well, the show is nearly and then the show is nearly over. >> so let's take another quick look at saturday's front pages. we've got the times with starmer and trump site the daily mail leads with starmer guilty as anyone over grooming gangs, says maggie oliver, the grooming gangs whistleblower the daily express leads with it's a cop out on social care reforms the i has. starmer faces growing threat from reform over migration, poll reveals the

mirror has a nice little earner that's luke littler winning the darts, and the daily star has secretary of state for the bleeding obvious. and that's it for tonight's show. thank you to my guests paul and kyrie. steve and alan will be back tomorrow night at 11 pm, joined by nick dixon and lewis schaffer. and if you're watching at 5 am, then stay tuned for breakfast. see you next time. goodbye. >> there will be a light breeze in the morning leading to a warm front. boxt heat pumps sponsors of weather on gb news. >> hello there. good evening. welcome to your gb news weather update from the met office. an unsettled weekend ahead. multiple met office warnings in force, including some amber warnings for snow and ice. do stay up to date on our website for those for friday evening. however, plenty of clear spells as a ridge of high pressure crosses the country, so likely to see some icy stretches once again. also a widespread frost and then towards northern areas. this is where we have our yellow ice warning in force, so likely to see the bulk of the icy

conditions here. but even across the south likely to see a widespread sharp frost and also a chance of some ice here too. but plenty of clear skies overnight means temperatures are soon going to drop away, most towns and cities dropping below zero by the time we reach saturday morning. so a very cold start to saturday. but there's also going to be lots of bright weather around. two still can't rule out some showers around coastal areas of scotland, particularly in the north, where they're likely to fall as sleet and snow, mainly across hills. but we could also see some flurries to lower levels. two similar across northern ireland. northern parts of england a cold, icy start still with a few showers feeding in around coasts. also north western coast of wales could see some showers but for the bulk of england and wales largely dry and plenty of bright sunshine to start the day. but as i say, cold with a sharp frost and a risk of ice. then through much of the day there'll be plenty of dry weather around. still, once again, those showers feeding into those north western coasts and then a change on the way as we start to see this system push up from the southwest. so heavy outbreaks of rain by the afternoon, perhaps even some

sleet and snow towards high ground across southern parts of wales and also southwest england. but for the bulk of the country, lots of dry weather around on saturday sunday. the system then becomes more widespread, seeing some outbreaks of snow, particularly across parts of wales and northern and northern england, where it could be disruptive at times. and even across the south, there's a chance we could see some freezing rain. so also some icy conditions possible. more sunshine as we head into next week, though, it is going to be remaining cold. bye bye for now. >> we can expect clear skies leading to a light and warm day ahead. boxt solar

hit back and urged musk to has hit back and urged musk to help tackle rape gangs. >> look, when it comes to tackling the serious issue of child sexual exploitation and abuse, i do think that online giants, social media companies have got a big part to play in helping us to identify and prosecute perpetrators of child sexual exploitation and abuse. so whether it's elon musk or anyone else, if those leaders of those giants want to work with this government, we're willing to work with tech giants to make sure that we keep young people safe , online and free from safe, online and free from exploitation. >> the government is promising a shake up of social care, but it could be years before big changes happen. health secretary wes streeting says an independent commission starting independent commission starting in april will grasp the nettle on reform, but its final report won't arrive until 2028. the review, chaired by baroness louise casey, aims to improve support for older and disabled
