>> we've seen correspondence sent by sir keir starmer's office that simply says unfortunately, we won't be able to facilitate a meeting. oh, but here is an online form for processing complaints. but fundamentally, i think what we've seen as a political reaction to this story, with both kemi badenoch from the conservatives and rupert lowe from reform and plenty of other commentators as well, they're all saying that, well, jayne senior did have that national hero status. she was being bullied. why didn't you take the time to meet with her, especially considering the reputation and fear that people had around the labour party and the csc scandal and all the cover ups? >> now, heavy snow has caused travel disruption in the uk as weather warnings remain in place. and despite the leeds bradford airport runway reopening earlier this afternoon, no plane is yet to land there. the met office had issued two amber weather warnings for england and wales, forecasting 3 to 7cm of snow in

>> hello and welcome to headlines, your first look at tomorrow's top stories with three three top comedians. before we dive in, let's take a quick look at what leo and lewis will have to work with on mondays front pages. the telegraph lead with our big story. musk turns on farage, the independent starmer to set out plan to end waiting list backlogs. the express ruthless small boat gang set for big springtime push. the daily mail end the menace of the e—scooters. ministers had told the i. labour to ditch 2035 ban on new gas boilers despite heat pump drive. far too many words on their front pages. the weather sickies are on the star that snowflakes and those are
2:06 am
the front pages. so leo will kick off with the telegraph and their big story is the one we've been discussing, of course all day on gb news. >> yeah, this is musk turns on farage. >> this isn't this isn't farage now in a state of sexual arousal, although it does because the word musk as well. yeah, it's all there isn't it? this is farage really likes that smell. yeah, this is even farage. >> sounds like a 70s perfume as well. >> so this is elon musk, the american billionaire who people might have heard of, who two weeks ago was was photographed next to farage singing his praises, potentially giving him $100 million, which is £81 million, a lot of money for the for campaigning. and now he's he's said farage isn't up to the job of running, being being head of the party. he suggested rupert lowe instead. and rupert lowe is an absolutely fantastic candidate. his twitter output is absolutely outstanding. and he really, you know, he speaks to the sort of heart and soul of
2:07 am
the sort of heart and soul of the party and says a lot of things that that perhaps farage wouldn't feel comfortable saying because he's in a much more exposed position. but i think all the people saying musk is dangerous and an idiot and an idiot, they've suddenly changed. and they're saying musk is visionary. >> today, musk is seen through farage. i suppose it's all hinges on tommy robinson, it seems, doesn't it? and there does seem to be a degree of confusion in the american camp as to exactly why tommy robinson is in jail. they are really quite happy to see him as a political prisoner, essentially. >> i think looking at the situation from outside, you've got these grooming gangs and operating on a huge scale. and as jk rowling said, you know, don't call them grooming gangs. they're child rape gangs, you know, thousands, hundreds of thousands , potentially, of white thousands, potentially, of white and sikh british girls raped by these, these despicable gangs. and the establishment pretty much just swept it under the carpet. so that created i mean, this is what farage should have said. he should have said the establishment is sweeping it under the carpet, created tommy
2:08 am
robinson, you know, made somebody like tommy robinson almost necessary to go out and expose. not that i think he's done a, you know, done it perfectly or done it the way, you know, a guardian journalist would do. but yeah, now it's looking like musk might be giving that money to tommy robinson instead. yeah. i mean, it's very interesting. >> i know a little bit about the story of the history of tommy robinson when he started, because he was from luton, same as me. and when they started out, the edl were mainly sort of supporting our forces who were who's returning caskets and so on, were being abused and spat on, were being abused and spat on by it started out with that, the grooming gang thing sort of gradually rose over the course of his. but now a lot of that is falling away, isn't it? and it's being seen as this is the great. do you know what i mean? the grooming gang, rape gang, whatever you want to call it. thatis whatever you want to call it. that is the great cause. yeah. and the idea of political islamism and so on generally is kind of being sidelined slightly. and i think in a way, that's what farage is not so comfortable with, historically
2:09 am
speaking, the a battle against islam as a whole. i mean, obviously, you know, reform have a i think the chairman is, is muslim. >> yeah. and i think things have just progressed far too quickly for farage really. he wasn't expecting this. this i mean, the overton window is really, you know, jumped. >> i agree with leo because it's a mess basically. and it's a mess because there hasn't been openness in this country. mess because there hasn't been openness in this country . and openness in this country. and even tommy robinson hasn't been completely open because they're focusing. i'm going to say this as nice as i can. they're focusing on what's going on in rotherham with what they did to these women and girls up there, and that's absolutely horrible. but the bigger picture is even if you eliminate that, even if you eliminate all the i don't know if i can say it, even the whatever it is that is that there's a danger in the country. and i think tommy robinson has said a bit about the danger, but donald. but but farage hasn't said the danger. he went on and said, we got to, we got to we got to be politically okay with
