kimmy, ticker says 170,000. kimmy, are you watching on the live stream? did we deliberately fiddle it so that it happened during my speech? did it? hell. it's happening, folks, because this party is on the march. >> well, that follows claims from kemi badenoch that reforms onune from kemi badenoch that reforms online membership figures are fake. that's despite several news outlets now reporting the membership data is, in fact, accurate. farage told supporters he was offended by accusations of being a fraudster, saying that he's never been dishonest and will never be. he also ianed and will never be. he also invited supporters to an event later this month to prove the numbers are real, adding that her criticism had fuelled a surge in new members. in other news tonight, the prince of wales says he and his wife, princess catherine, are shocked and saddened by the death of his former nanny's stepson. that was in a vehicle attack in new orleans. 31 year old edward pettyfer was one of 14 people

with on sunday's front pages. the sun will shock at terror death of pal sunday telegraph goes with net zero drive will raise cost of holidays. the observer fears of unrest as pm considers open prison for more offenders. sunday express has in the bleak midwinter. the mail goes with paul starmer, will be out of number 10 in a year, and the star says the age of the budgie smugglers. let's find out more about that. but i guess we start to find out more with the telegraph. paul, what they got? >> yeah we do. pm urged to scrap new islamophobia definition. so sir keir starmer, if you're not aware he's our pm, has been urged to shelve plans for an official government definition official government definition of islamophobia in the wake of the grooming gangs scandal. critics say a strict definition would curtail free speech and make it harder for whistleblowers to point out certain instances of wrongdoing. i think they're probably right. i'm sure there's some people that would disagree, but labour, of course, there's a lot of

context to this. labour, of course, are doing this to maintain the muslim vote in constituencies like wes streeting constituency and jess phillips constituency. they were both run, particularly jess phillips was run very close in her constituency and there were 18 pledges or requests by by labour muslim groups that suggested that they want certain things. this is one of them. essentially, it reintroduces blasphemy laws into the uk, though, which i see as regression. i don't see as progression in any way, and i kind of see us bowing to a particular group and not taking into account the much wider group that is greater britain. look, i don't think labour, i think labour are tone deaf on all this. i don't actually think they'll make any changes, i really don't. i think potentially they could on this particular one because the idea of defining islamophobia in a way that that appeals to everybody is going to be very difficult. >> yeah. i mean, that's the

thing, isn't it, lewis? having a definition of it, it's fair enough, but it depends on what the definition is, doesn't it? >> no, not with this, not with the uk. >> they can put anybody in jail, isn't it? it's true of all words. >> no it isn't. they could put anybody in jail. there are people rotting in jail for tweets that were like nothing is thatis tweets that were like nothing is that is that labour is i'm going to start early. it's team world. they don't care about england. they don't care about england. they don't care about england. they don't care about the angles, the saxons, the new personal best. yeah. they don't care about the angles, the saxons, the jutes, the picts. they don't care about the nigerians who are christians in this country. they don't care about the muslims who moved to this country to escape suppressive muslimism. they just don't. they just don't care. they're labour. these are people who care about feelings before facts. >> do you think paul's paul's take on it has got maybe some more believability that they're afraid rather than just they don't care. and randomly through this not caring a thing happens. paups this not caring a thing happens. paul's point is like there's a bit of steering happening here to try and keep a vote. >> well, the reason they're afraid is because they've sucked up to the muslims for so long that they don't want to lose the muslim vote because people are

not they're not, they're not bringing. keir starmer brings nobody joy in this country. >> the problem, i think, lewis, is if they bring in an islamic islamophobia definition, which in itself creates another form of racism and help protect future grooming gangs or protect by protecting future grooming gangs, i mean, preventing whistleblowers, holding back people, parents, for instance, let's not forget, in this grooming gang scandal, parents were arrested, parents were arrested, the victims themselves and the victims were arrested. and you introduce islamophobia, islamophobia and a new definition and a new law associated into this, this huge problem that we've got this dark secret of a problem that we've got in the uk at the moment. and i think we are going to end up in a lot of trouble. so i think this is a good opportunity, this good opportunity to really question this. >> and no, it isn't a good opportunity. the only opportunity. the only opportunity is to get rid of these people. >> and that's what elections are. yeah, that's what elections are. >> the fact is, is let them do

what they want to do. we're heading towards a police state. as i speak to people in america, it's like britain is like a laughing stock. it used to be. it used to be actually believed that there was some kind of openness in britain. and there's none of this openness in britain. i don't know what i'm saying. >> no. >> no. >> well, we'll move on then. what else is on the front page? >> there's lots on the front page of the sunday telegraph. actually, i think i'll go to net zero drive will raise cost of holidays. and the answer is of course it will net zero. by the way i said this last night actually. but i reiterate it in case nobody heard me. you know, the plan for net zero is to hit the plan for net zero is to hit the half point by 2030 and full net zero by 2050. both are almost impossible, and the only way you can do it is essentially, i believe, bankrupting the uk and any other western country that tries to achieve it and taking any fun out of life as well. i mean, holidays, oh, i love burning cars. the idea. the thing is this. yeah, bourbon. but you and l, this. yeah, bourbon. but you and i, burning carbon is fine because we go and do it once a yearif because we go and do it once a year if we're absolutely lucky. you know, there are people

gallivanting around the world, most of them telling us that we have to follow this nonsense , have to follow this nonsense, and they're not going to stop doing it because they need to do their gallivanting, steve, because they're very important. oh, yeah. >> this is ridiculous, paul. this is it's ridiculous. people are acting like this is a normal thing. let's go to net zero. net zero is about killing people. it's about it's. i mean, this. maybe it will. it'll kill you. you can't go on holiday. you tell a british person they can't go on holiday. it'll kill them and they'll kill the kid. >> it'll kill him. net zero people. >> and it's. this is totally not news, because it's. of course, net zero drive will raise the cost of everything. that's the whole purpose of net zero. it isn't to eliminate co2, which is that c02, isn't to eliminate co2, which is that co2, you know, comes out of your breath. that's where your fat when you lose weight, paul. that's where it that's where it goes. i'm losing some. yeah. you look it all right. i mean, not really, but i mean, you're looking for. >> lewis is saying the more you lose, the more co2 you expel. therefore, do you not breathe it out in ketones which have got

double bonded oxygens to the carbon? yes. >> and that's why. that's why people say that my breath is bad. yeah. which i, which denounce. >> but they're not saying that on the front page of the telegraph. no, they're not, not yet. >> what we need to say is that there's no need for net zero, that the climate crisis is a scam. like everything that everything that if you were on team world side, if you're on the left side, if you're on. and when i say the left, i include i include the tories too. if you're if you believe in this stuff, you set your bar high tonight. >> haven't you've come out with net zero is about killing people. yeah. let's say i'm interested to see where you go to. >> it's it is about killing people. it's about killing british people. it's about killing the celts and the welsh and the scots and the picts. it's about killing welsh people. it's about killing welsh people. it's about killing welsh people. it's about killing. it's about killing jamaicans who are living here. they don't want people. >> it will kill. it will kill our economy because it's going to cost £10 billion a year. exactly. and ed miliband is in charge, which is a massive problem. so there is a very sad story on the front of the page related to the new orleans terror attack. royal nanny's stepson killed in us attack.

this was his stepson, tiggy. people have. well, you might not remember you weren't in this country, but steve and 1's generation and older will remember that she was the nanny of the princes, which were harry and william. and obviously, this is just another tragic reminder of what's gone on in new orleans. >> there is a health one there, but i bet we can include that when we cover the sunday times. so let's do the observer. lewis, what are you angry about? >> oh, just can i just point out that the sunday telegraph is £3.50? if you want to go buy it tomorrow? i get asked constantly about how much of the newspapers are. why would somebody go pay £3.50 for lies when they can go on google and be lied to , just on google and be lied to, just for free? >> anyway, have you ever been sued by the telegraph before? >> that's quite funny. no, i mean, i should like the telegraph. i don't like any of them. the fact is, i associate them. the fact is, i associate them with work and it's really horrible. observer. >> lewis, what do you got for us? >> this is this is this is your typical anyway the observer which is, which is the guardian. and they're thinking about changing the name, i guess. or they'll stop. stop. and it's £4 tomorrow. i don't know why the observer is more money than the telegraph, but fears of unrest

as prime minister considers more considers open prisons for more offenders. and so why is this news? this is exactly what the prime minister is up to. he's up to the idea of we don't like prisons, we don't like our people, criminals, to be in prison. we want to let them go. and here's here's an, you know, so he's saying there's going to be because there's only 100,000 prison cells in this country, which is like compared to america, which has like 2 or 3 million prisons. >> oh, it's not like america is doing it right. you've got a problem with the way that prison works over there. what is it? >> three, which is 400 million people in your country, which is why we should just people who are prisoners should be. >> i'm not going to say what they are. >> no, don't say that, mate. i mean, i enjoy agreeing with net zero. >> you're going to finish that sentence. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> we've got to figure out how to make punishment better so that it's not so people. >> and maybe maybe before you start again with half sentences, paul start again with half sentences, paul, what's your take on this. open prisons. do you want one. >> well i mean i'd love one. yes please. open prisons for this story. you can't really see the

we can't see the fine print i've been trying to look why whilst lewis has been doing his commentary. >> but why are you attacking me? >> but why are you attacking me? >> i'm not yet. >> but because i called you fat. is that what it is? >> no, no, because that's been going since 2022. but no open prisons for people that have committed serious crimes, big issue, open prisons for people that have sent a tweet. i mean, i don't think they should go to prison anyway, but why not put them in an open prison? they're not in open prisons. i don't know, it just feels very labour ish. and, you know, it's there's no mistake here. why the observer are thinking it's a good thing. >> how could they be called an open prison? isn't that an oxymoron? >> isn't that a good word? i mean, they got them in the states. well, my esteemed did. >> my flat in nunhead is an open prison. >> i know, i believe it, and i know where i'd rather serve time if i had a five stretch. it's not going to be nunhead, is it? let's get to the times then, and see what's happening on the front page. >> so nato warns uk over ballistic missile threats pm urged to raise spending amid fears defence of vulnerable and britain faces strike from

anywhere. these stories, particularly from the sunday times, have been circulating for, well, years now. that's because we have spent years and years and years underfunding our defence, and the reason these stories on the front of the paperis stories on the front of the paper is twofold. one, to scare the government into spending more on defence, and one to let the people know that we should be scared because our defence doesn't stand up to any any form of attack we are entirely reliant now on as a nation, on our allies, and if only if one of our allies attacks us, then we really are. >> that's actually not true. >> that's actually not true. >> of course it's not. >> go on, tell us why we say this country is relying on our allies to save us. we only have one ally who could save us, and that's the united states of america. so what this what this is about, it's about getting the military to buy more weapons so that the so that the 1% big companies, whatever they are, produce more weapons. this is this is that's what all that's

what this thing is. >> i mean, i don't i don't actually disagree with that. but i do believe that we need to invest way more in our defence. >> okay, maybe we do. but at the same time, why do we have to spend more for defence against some threat from russia when coming on our shores are a million people who are undermining? >> we've done aboutism that what aboutism there, haven't you? you know, it's threats and you don't think, well, we're not guarding against threat a so let's not guard against threat b no, i'm not saying we shouldn't we shouldn't do it because america has been covering our butts for our butts for so long. says that we fear attack from anywhere. that can't be true. i mean, look, the big hitters. yeah, but if luxembourg turns against us, i think we'll take him. >> we'll never go that movie. remember that movie, the peter sellers one? yeah, right. >> yes. the mouse that roared. >> yes. the mouse that roared. >> the mouse that roared. >> the mouse that roared. >> so luxembourg have got a navy. haven't even got a shoreline. >> well, same with bolivia too. they lost their shoreline. >> but that's just like all the people who went on bullseye and won a speedboat and live in a council estate. somewhere in landlocked. >> there will be people in nottinghamshire with 1980 speed boats, my people. >> and then actually, let's do

the health thing on this one on this sunday. >> yeah, let's do that. patients must get a choice of five hospitals. this is wes streeting saying patients, you know should have a choice of essentially five. if you know, if you stubbed your toe or whatever or you're seriously ill, you should have a choice of five hospitals. i would argue, wes, people would love a choice of one hospital, but a good one that works. yeah, a really good one that works, you know. so and you go in and you, you are seen to if you haven't taken a dinghy with you, which is a story from last night, by the way. so we discovered last night that illegal migrants in particular were seen on average in 15 minutes versus the average 12 houn >> wait. you could do the accent, couldn't you? >> not right now. not right now. not on telly. but you know, it's that cough there to make sure i could that that cough was sent by god to make sure it didn't do the accent right. >> and then take a look at the daily star. lewis. >> this makes the daily star is really good news, really good news. and the daily star is, is. let me find out how much it is for the paper. £2.10, £2.10

which is, it seems like a lot of money for the daily star, but there's a lot of stuff in the daily star. fashionista's vote dodgy. grundy is one of the top six sexiest items for 2025. the age of the bungee budgie smugglers, which i didn't know what it was. it's a y—front. it's just a y—front without the y on the front though. >> without the y, you don't have to have the y. they're just they're small enough so it looks as though you are smuggling a budgie or two budgies or a really long saveloy, depending on what you're doing it. >> okay. all right. i'm not going there. this is your show. you're the host of the show. you're the host of the show. you're going to be responsible. last time i said something horrible, you didn't correct me, and i could have gotten in trouble for that. so i'm not going to. >> actually, the nation wants to know. do you wear tight ones or loose ones? >> do you want to know something? i'm quite. i'm now flexible. i have both. both really both. i just because i changed last year for fertility reasons. and then i realised i needed a woman to. >> are you wearing tighter ones to try and lower your fertility? >> make a stop. pregnant mate. paul >> make a stop. pregnant mate. paul. boxers or reese boxers. nice. >> me too. for the same reason why? you know, when you get a

goldfish, if you move it to a bigger tank, it grows bigger. yeah. so i go all the way. >> still waiting. >> still waiting. >> that's the show and tell. is this show and tell? >> it's becoming like that. that's the front pages. all sorted. coming up, whistleblowers ignored standard. lee anderson looks angry. standard and the dutch are being controversial. ooh, this is headliners only on gb

welcome back to headliners i'm steven alan still joined by paul cox and lewis schaffer. if you'd like to pass on your thoughts you can get in touch. gbnews.com/yoursay bedford babe says great panel on headliners tonight. all looking very smart. thank you. i love how animated lewis is losing his train of thought halfway through a sentence. that's what they're after. apparently that's the that's what's working. >> that's what you're after. i guarantee there'll be some more. >> or if that's what you're after, then. paul, the sunday

telegraph and elon says that starmer has questions to answer when he was the head of the cps. he's in hot water now, he's the pm, but at least he's got nothing that looks bad from when he was in opposition. >> q he was in opposition. >> 0 paul, i'm sorry, mate. he definitely has. starmer accused of snubbing grooming gang whistle whistleblower a meeting with jane senior was instrumental, who was instrumental, who was instrumental in publicising victim's plight, declined while prime minister was in opposition. this was in 20 in 2020, when keir starmer was obviously leader of the opposition, he was asked to meet with miss senior, who was a labour councillor at the time. he was also aware to start an inquiry into labour councillor into labour councillors accused of launching a campaign to undermine her and her reputation, or to deflect from their failure in child protection. his office and himself declined both meeting and launched and launched an inquiry. i needed to read all that out because it gives a huge amount of context, because we've got a lot going on at the moment and it feels to me like never has one man had so many

opportunities to prevent child abuse and saved absolutely zero children from abuse. i'm getting quite, quite angry with this whole particular story. the reason i'm angry is because there is so much more that could have been done if people weren't scared of racism. now, in amongst all this, we still have the victims. some of these, some of these, some of these victims are from ten years ago. and if there are any opportunities in that in that time frame, whatever that might be 15 years to now. and there were people that stood in the way of justice to protect their own career, save face, not be seen as racist. now, i can understand that one a little bit more, but any of those things, then they shouldn't hold public office and they shouldn't be in a position to protect children because they're failing. >> just to stop you getting sued by starmer, because i imagine he knows the law quite well. we probably should point out that when he was in charge of the cps, prosecutions were brought against some of these grooming gangs. >> yes, yes. »- >> yes, yes. >> because you said the sentence, he's done nothing to stop. so. well, okay. >> so that's a good point, steve. and you may well save me

from something quite nasty, but i'd leave louis hanging for it. >> but i'd save you. sweet. >> but i'd save you. sweet. >> thank you very much. i appreciate it, steve. but one thing that's quite clear is keir starmer in particular seems to have been at the centre or in the background of this case throughout its history in one way or another. and there are things that he could have done and there are things that he hasn't done. now. we've still got the victims and there has still been prosecutions and people are still in prison. so you're right, people have been prosecuted. so, so arguably there has been some protection. but what this man is now in charge of our entire country. and if we discover that he stood in the way to protect himself or people around him stood in the way to protect themselves or to protect the grooming gangs, then the whole seedy house of cards needs to fall. >> but your earlier point about the fact that they're scared fits to this, and i know you already disagreed with that, louis, but this does fit the idea of like, oh, we don't want to lose this part of the vote. that's what they're scared of or were scared off back then.

>> no. yes, yes and no. of course they don't want to lose their voters, but they actually believe they believe in the universality of people that were all that everybody's all alike, no matter what country they come from. this story is, is horrible because you feel for the people who the women who've been victimised by this and the fact that the state, whatever the police and keir starmer did very little, that's really horrible. but the bigger question is we're in a state of emergency in this country. we're being inundated with people who hate us. or maybe not me, but they hate they hate british. >> you're saying there's definitely some people they hate. >> they hate british people. they hate the angles, the saxons, the jutes. they hate christian nigerians who are living here and jamaicans that are living here. they they are at war with this country. and here we are focusing. it's kind of like, look at these people. they're rapists, they're bad. that's what that's what this is all about. it's this. it's pointing the finger. but the situation is way worse than that.is situation is way worse than that. is that that i. >> i don't want us. there's one

of those half sentences you pay your money for. louis. the sunday express lee anderson calls anti—reform protesters socialists. but reform means to change to someone who's anti—reform would be conservative. >> well, socialist doesn't mean radical change. there are people who are socialists who believe in maintaining the situation as it is in the country that they're living in. you know, you can be a socialist in china and be an incredibly conservative because the ccp is running china. so i disagree with that. >> anyway, you agreed with it. >> anyway, you agreed with it. >> i know, i agree, is that >> anyway, you agreed with it. >> i know, i agree,
