>> thank you sam and hello and welcome to headliners, your first look at tomorrow's top stories with three tip top comedians. let's kick off with a look at some of the front pages. the sun leads with vile, rude and abusive. it's louis schaefer and abusive. it's louis schaefer and we've got him on the show tonight. no vile, rude and abusive. but itv covered up for gino, says kim woodburn. the telegraph has labour to open talks on slavery payouts and the times has alarm over diversity. push now more front pages in a second. but first, louis, what do you make of this sun headune? >> vile. >> vile. >> rude and abusive. but itv covered up for gino. at least it's not the bbc, it's usually the bbc. and since when is rude and vile.7 is that illegal? is the bbc. and since when is rude and vile? is that illegal? is it illegal? meanwhile, the guy this is vasco da gama. oh no. no. sorry . gino d'acampo is vasco da gama. oh no. no. sorry. gino d'acampo i was making a joke because. because the girl who works here is from portugal and vasco da gama. i thought there was like a little. >> do some jokes that other

people will get. >> i don't care, what do we know? >> just explain them. >> just explain them. >> the point is, is this guy, he was on a million programs, supposedly. i don't know, everyone thought he was gay. is he gay? i don't know if he's 93v- 9331- >> 93v- >> why ask him? me? >> why ask him? me? >> i don't know, because, you. >> i don't know, because, you. >> know, i hadn't even heard of him until today. now, how do i know if he's gay? >> he's flamboyant. >> he's flamboyant. >> because you fight for your heterosexuality, so. >> someone's got to. >> someone's got to. >> it's a losing battle. >> it's a losing battle. >> but. >> but. >> but. >> but it's one of those typical stories about a guy in the office. this happens to be on tv. the guy is probably rich. he probably was with a few few ladies and it didn't work out to their. why are you looking at me that way? >> speculate wildly. it's a good idea when. there's an ongoing case. >> listen, i'm an inch away from being too famous where they will start saying these things about me. >> i think. >> i think. >> it's a bit. »- >> it's a bit. >> more than an inch. i mean, in the mail it said, he said, and did whatever he wanted. i'm like, that is louis schaefer like, that is louis schaefer like, that's a crime. then we're in a lot of trouble. i'm not going to comment because i don't want to get sued and i don't. i never even heard the guy,

really. so i'm an intellectual. >> i don't know about him. is he does he does cooking, cookery shows. and i know working in television, we have a laugh. we have a laugh behind the scenes. we have a laugh in front of the scenes as well. wherever, wherever we are, we have a laugh. and some of this i'm not saying, i'm not saying. >> you know. >> you know. >> he was just having. >> he was just having. >> a laugh justifying his bad behaviour. >> from what i've heard, you're vile, rude and abusive. that's i mean, maybe to other people. that was incredibly funny. >> now, do i have to go defend the people who've made these accusations against him? you are the one who's supposed to do that. you're the host of the show. >> well. >> well. >> you didn't against the people who made accusations against you. >> we need balance. and i do agree with louis. at least itv is doing it and that is balancing the bbc. and that's important for our delicate broadcast ecology. so adam. >> boulton, i mean we've got to keep them alive. these broadcasters, i mean they're only getting £169 of our money. yeah. >> well not this one. this is itv. but moving on to the daily telegraph. we've got this, this horrific story. i'm saying it's horrific story. i'm saying it's horrific because it's our tax money possibly going to the canbbean money possibly going to the caribbean because david lammy like, seems to hate britain. >> you could have stopped there because david lammy, it's labour

to open talks on slavery payouts. so this government loves just giving stuff away. so the caribbean reparation team, why does that even exist? by the way, for the foreign office meeting, they're demanding 18 well, the prime minister of barbados has demanded 3.9 trillion, but others have said it's 18 trillion that we are. where do they get these figures from? yeah we did. so i sound like louis. we did so much for the world, by the way, i delivered. that was very loose. and people don't. >> appreciate lewis shay ferry. >> appreciate lewis shay ferry. >> it was just the ferry was my delivery. yeah, but it's just that we did so much for these people. these people. we did so much for them. yeah. and but they don't appreciate it. and this government, they just love to give all our stuff away. and they let me look at lammy. he's they let me look at lammy. he's the one that said back in 2020, you know, there needs to be a reckoning with britain's colonial past. and you get ideologues like this who basically hate britain in the government. and that's what we have now. we have a government that hates britain. yeah. >> wouldn't it be nice if we had a government, like with a bit of backbone like they've got in america? they would just turn around to the caribbean and say, no, you're not having it. and if you try and take it, we're going to we're going to. >> nuke you. we're going to nuke

you. >> sorry, sorry, sorry. >> sorry, sorry, sorry. >> that's what was happening. they say for 14 years they couldn't even get a basically a meeting with dominic, cummings said, like when they ask things like this chagos is an example he was using just say no. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> just say no. what's wrong with just saying no? instead of oh yes, oh, how much of other people's money can i give away? the left are always so generous with other people's money, lewis. >> and it will make them happy. make the caribbean islanders happy because they say, well, we asked, they can go back to their people and say that we asked. i mean, maybe if there was a trade, maybe we'll give them money and we'll also send back the people that are living here and living in the rest of the world, and the books that we brought these people and the democracy that they're living unden democracy that they're living under. i've been to i haven't been to jamaica, but it's probably a lovely i've. >> been. >> been. >> to jamaica, i've been to dominica. these are beautiful. beautiful. in fact, dominica has the only remaining population of original carib indians who were the original, you know, population of the islands. >> before anyone was going to say the books we brought these people, i would have guessed you or simon evans. maybe it was lewis. >> i was just remembering a joke. i think it was rich vos joke. i think it was rich vos joke. yeah. i wasn't telling his joke. yeah. i wasn't telling his joke. exactly. >> i think with stuff like this, you know, history, some history

needs to just stay in the past. we can learn from it. but we've got hundreds of years on. we've got hundreds of years on. we've got to move on. we don't have the. >> money in the past. >> money in the past. >> we don't have the money. >> we don't have the money. >> but can you point out this, ecclestone? because i'm an older man, and this bernie ecclestone who was the head of formula one, i guess he has. he had a son at 89 years old and he said. >> he said. >> he said. >> son, i'm afraid that my son will see me as an old man. >> your fears are grounded. >> your fears are grounded. >> no. if he's lucky, he'll be seen as an old man. if not, he'll be your dead father. he's lucky. he's lucky he's still alive. he hopes his son sees. he looks pretty good for a for a guy who's. who's old. >> yeah. yeah, well, he's very rich. beautiful son. very happy for him. but yeah. 89 i. >> mean, yeah. >> mean, yeah. >> i want to see the treehouse he builds. >> he's doing. >> he's doing. >> his bit for the birthrate. >> his bit for the birthrate. >> he's got. >> he's got. >> so much. >> so much. >> money. >> money. >> to build the tree, he doesn't have to build the treehouse. let's get somebody to build it for him. >> that's. that's a great point. moving on. let's look at. there's a story there. streeting

is actually is actually speaking out against us poaching staff for the nhs from other countries. but we're going to cover that later. so if we move on to the times lewis. >> to the times, which is my favourite newspaper, it's not times is £4, 20, excuse me, £4, £4. tomorrow is going to be £4, tomorrow. >> £4, 232 subscribers. >> £4, 232 subscribers. >> 230 to subscribe are you? but these, these people need to know these, these people need to know the price. >> they don't. >> they don't. >> they don't. >> they do, they don't. you tell them every night and they know them every night and they know the price. >> and if i don't tell them, they get mad. >> at me. he hasn't read the stories. what is he going to say if he doesn't say the price? it says, let's be real. he was talking to the security guy instead of reading. >> it says alarm over diversity push. universities could lose research funding if they fail to prioritise inclusivity. this is like an anti—trump world. and let me tell you something, people out there, trump is coming to this country and if it's not going to be trump, it'll be farage will be somebody who's going to act just like trump, and this thing will be all over. nobody wants to inclusivity in this country. >> so what is what is this story, though?

>> nicola bulley. >> nicola bulley. >> oh. >> oh. >> i have to come to me. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> someone has to actually do the work. >> somebody who. >> somebody who. >> can read walking around talking to people about me. >> but your iq is so superior. the people. >> no. >> no. >> flattery won't work. you're forcing me to do work that you're supposed to be doing. i do double the work. why don't you do some work? >> i did, i read the headline for the thing, and i thought about that thing about trump. >> it'sjust. it's. look, he >> it's just. it's. look, he can't read the print. it's too small. it's the research excellence framework, which is just some nonsense woke thing that's going to force you to have diversity initiatives, basically just just as he as lewis says, he's right. just as trump is getting rid of all this in our country, we're going to impose this. you have to prioritise edi and all this rubbish. it's so crazy. just as why it's why can't we be like trump? we will. we'll get there. >> so this is universities are going to have quotas to say you've got to have enough, you know, paraguayan lesbians in this role and you've got to have enough, you know, hypoglycaemic dwarves in this role. i mean, why don't we just pick the best candidate, have a meritocracy, and make it illegal to discriminate against people based on race or gender or whatever it is, which, you know,

is fine the way it should be. everybody should have an equal opportunity. but if you get the best person, regardless of whether they're chinese or whatever, that's surely a better system than than this sort of tick box pegging. >> you need to step back, which is why should the central government, like china, be involved in the universities? why should they let each university decide, you know who the best people are going to university? why should it be up to the government and say, oh, you're not good enough, you're good enough, you're not good enough? that's number one. >> i think the best people universities should should pick the best people because universities are teetering at the moment. they're they're losing all the esteem that they had. they're very expensive. and people are looking at them and saying like, you know, i can i can teach myself to be a transgender communist at home. i don't need to go to university and spend 50 grand. >> to. >> to. >> who are you, leo, to tell the universities what to do. let them decide if they want to have horrible dei candidates or dei candidates, or if they want to have none. >> and then. >> and then. >> they'll run themselves into

the ground and they go bust. sounds like a good system. >> exactly. >> exactly. >> so moving on. we've got some more front pages. we've got the guardian with trump's aid cuts. could be a big mistake. that's according to david lammy. and he's never been wrong. yet the express has rachel reeves tax rate hurts british farms and the daily star has. it's time to get the big coat out. apparently it's going to be cold. so yeah, that guardian headline. we've got lammy again. nick. >> yes, trump said it could be a big mistake. but what this is, we've heard a lot about this us aid. this is a big thing. it looks like it's saying you said but it's us aid if you haven't heard about it. it was things like projects like giving $20 million to an iraqi version of sesame street, 2 million on morocco, moroccan pottery classes, 27 million on gift bags to illegals before deporting them. there's a whole list of absurd things you can. >> look up, but there is also drag shows in ecuador. and there was transgender pride in serbia, right? i mean, this is the sort of thing i can understand u.s. aid. it's the sort of soft projection of american values around the world, which sounds like a good idea, you know,

democracy, stuff like that. but that's not the values that they're projecting. the values they're projecting. the values they're projecting. the values they're projecting are essentially sort of communism and transgenderism. >> yes. and the idea is, oh, we're going to trump's making a big mistake because he'll lose soft power to china and they'll step in. their economy is struggling now. they'll fill this void with all this soft power. i don't i don't really buy it. and people in the story don't even buy it. there's a guy, tom wang, who says he warns against simplistic narratives of china replacing us soft power overnight. it's a load of nonsense, this stuff. that's why the guys are defending this usa. it's obviously nonsense. trump's cutting back on the nonsense and they're saying, oh, you're gonna lose soft power to china. it's like you could have saved so much money to be able to do what he wants anyway. he'll own the world. >> and also another reason the guardian might be speaking out against the cuts to us aid is that some of the money was going to political, a left wing media outlet. so millions was going as subscriptions to politico. and the guardian has a lot of subscriptions. they get a lot of subscriptions. they get a lot of subscriptions paid for by the taxpayer through councils. when i worked at haringey council, there were there were guardian.

>> subscriptions, if i remember correctly, and i'm not sure about this, is that is that money has gone to the guardian from this huge pool of money. it doesn't stand for us aid, it stands for us agency for industrial development. so it could be anything. it's not like they're helping starving people. this is the worst. i didn't even realise how bad this thing was because i'm not a conspiracy theorist. >> do we actually know it's gone to guardian? because that's a very serious thing to say. don't. >> know if it might be. i said, i just want to make sure i'm >> know if it might be. i said, ijust want to make sure i'm not like. >> i don't want to get i don't want to get sued. and i don't want to get sued. and i don't want you to get sued, but not me. >> the worst thing is, is our enemy and the enemy of this country and the people. is this a usaid gave money millions of pounds to the bbc. they steal money from you, and then they. wherever my camera is, we need a light. >> wasn't even on you. it was on leo. >> but. >> but. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> but i do agree with me on this about the bbc. >> well, yeah, but people have said, you know, oh, the cuts to

us aid mean that people are going to starve in africa and stuff. it's like, what were they eating? the drag queens. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, come on, this is so much of this money. if it really had value, why did they corrupt it and use to it push these ridiculous far left communist values? it's a nonsense. they should have just kept it to, you know, feeding people and pushing democracy and things like that. moving on. we've got the express. nick. >> isn't that louis? >> isn't that louis? >> it's louis. >> it's louis. >> yeah. reeves tax raid hurts british forms. how much money is this? this is tomorrow at £2.40 for the daily express. you know, is this news? is it news country. so some other guy. >> on the newspaper. >> on the newspaper. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> front page. >> front page. >> but that doesn't mean it's not new. it is news. but of course it's going to hurt british farms. so who is this guy? countryfile's adam henson backs expressed crusade to protect family farms. is that these people, not just her, not just reeves, who's like a councilwoman or whatever she is this is they're at war. >> the chancellor.

>> the chancellor. >> whatever she does for a living, she barely is good at it. >> i could have walked into wetherspoons and asked someone and got more coherent answer. >> nick, these people. >> nick, these people. >> you know what? you know what you know. >> you move so fast. there. that was scary. >> the people out there, they can read the newspaper themselves. they know exactly what it is. i guess i got to be like, i got to be like nick and repeat every. >> the whole show is redundant if they just read it themselves and we don't need to say anything. >> but this is. >> but this is. >> interesting that we talk about. >> this is a star of countryfile, which is which is a big, you know. landmark bbc show. and he's coming out and saying, this isn't this isn't us, this isn't the, you know, the evil little conspiracy theorists. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> this is, you know, a big bbc tentpole star saying, you know, the reeves tax rate is hurting british farms. i think this is a big moment. this is the normies coming over and agreeing with us. >> us. >> well, maybe i can. maybe i can make an announcement. i'm against the reeves tax rate, too. can i get can i get the newspaper tomorrow? >> you should do. maybe you'll get in it for a lot of the things. >> you've. said tonight. >> you've. said tonight. >> so you get a lot of court

cgses. >> cases. >> you know what's you know what's good about this show? what? lewis. schaffer. that's what. yes. >> i've heard you're more sort of hit and miss. i look at the comments. you're a sort of cult. they like me a lot. they like leo. you're a sort of. some like you, some don't. >> but the great ones are always hit and miss. >> okay. >> okay. >> well, that's the front pages looked at. join us after the break to get under the covers with trump reform climb even higher in the polls. and should you cancel your council tax? a lot of people this is headliners on gb

welcome back to headliners on gb news. i forgot what show we're on there. i was looking at your comments. we've got a couple here john get starmer out. that's an interesting surname. says see now this is three comedians. i'm having a proper laugh tonight. and somebody else says that lewis needs a haircut. i'm not i'm not one to comment on that department. >> at least i've got hair that hair. >> needs cutting. let's kick off the express. and should you pay for services you don't receive, a lot of brits aren't receiving local council elections, so they're not paying their local council tax. lewis. >> well then they should go to america, because this country is not a country that believes in democracy. anyway. this is angry brits cancelling their council tax payments after elections are postponed. he says i'm not paying postponed. he says i'm not paying and this is in the express and this is a fantastic article because it doesn't name

any names. it doesn't tell how many people are not paying it's completely air. maybe some. no. >> there are lots of lots of people here who who say and when people here who who say and when people tweet something. >> it's got to be true. >> it's got to be true. >> that's gospel. >> that's gospel. >> like all my craziness about eating meat, believe that. >> so a lot of people have seen you. he's nothing but cornflakes, but a lot of people are saying they're not going to pay are saying they're not going to pay their council tax. i mean, this is this is a serious issue because labour have cancelled a lot of local authority elections this year. nec and labour have said, oh, we have to because of blah, blah blah. but really, i mean, that's, that's the excuse that putin would use. >> oh, well power always justifies itself and then rationalises it later. but yes, we can i can see why they're not paying we can i can see why they're not paying it. not that i'm advocating not paying the tax i've paid mine. but yes, if they don't get to vote, you can you can see the argument, but they'll be cracked that my worry is they'll be cracked down on. because once this whole tax racket gets exposed, that's the thing that governments really don't want to happen. once people stop paying tax because the whole thing falls apart, then you see they've got no money. yeah. and this labour government, though i do think is

making a mistake. they're making many mistakes. but unlike betsy blair radicalised the country. but he did it. he did it more stealthily. and he had a lot of popularity. but his labour was making all kinds of changes. they're just tearing up the country. but they hated. so my hopeis country. but they hated. so my hope is that they're completely destroyed in 2029. my only worry is they destroy the country first. >> yeah, i don't think they'll make it to 2029. and also, i don't believe all their excuses about these elections. i think a lot of them are. it's very convenient that they seem to be blocking reform from from taking these council seats, moving on to the express again. and reform aren't just taking votes from laboun aren't just taking votes from labour, they're also taking politicians from labour as well. nick. >> yeah, this is lee anderson hails seismic moment as labour councillor defects to reform. this is kathy mason of the ashfield district council, said she was disappointed with sir keir starmer's policies, including stripping most pensioners of winter fuel payments. and this is hardly surprising, is it, because this is this current labour government who are their main voters? well, stats reveal that it's people who earn a lot of money, especially the over 70,000 bracket, and it goes down the lower you earn, whereas

reform goes up with under 20,000 a year, being the people most likely to vote for reform. so of course labour doesn't care about less well—off people anymore. and if you are sort of old labour type, you're sort of red wall type. you're not going to like this labour government because they hate the country, whereas the old labour types have a residual patriotism. so it's not surprising to me that labour people are now defecting to reform. reform have always said we'll get votes from laboun said we'll get votes from labour, but now they're getting actual candidates from them. >> yeah, and when candidates score, it's usually because they can see that their base would rather vote for the party that they're moving to than the party they're moving to than the party they're leaving. >> yes, that's exactly right. which is why the parliamentary system is so bad, because these people who are deciding what political party based on whether they're going to get elected next year, which just shows, i don't think i don't think this is a major thing. there's something wrong with the reform if you are a if you are a labour person, which is the party of team world, and you want to go to the nation state party. >> i think, i think labour originally would have been the party for a lot of reform

voters, just as nick points out. you know, they were the party of the working man, the striver, the working man, the striver, the grafter. and now they're not. now they're the party of the, you know, the idle middle classes who are overeducated and under—stimulated and have too many pronouns. >> when was that? when i was. i'm very familiar with labour party people. >> the other thing is an authenticity. someone stopped me on the street once who who'd seen the show and i got talking to. they voted corbyn, but if he hadnt to. they voted corbyn, but if he hadn't been standing, they were going to vote reform. so there's also a thing where people want authenticity, and it doesn't always map to what you think might make sense ideologically. >> that's a that's a good point. but the actual leaders of the party say someone who is a like you say, a labour councillor, what does that guy believe? that he could go to? reform? >> woman. cathy. >> woman. cathy. >> woman. cathy. >> woman. what's a woman? >> woman. what's a woman? >> well. >> well. >> let's move on. we've got the independent, lewis and ed miliband is backing down on at least one of his ridiculous communist green policies. >> oh, my god, this guy is ridiculous. now, even ed miliband, who is david miliband's younger brother, doesn't matter. doesn't matter

really backs heathrow. so much for his green dream. this is in the independent. how much is the independent tomorrow? >> just tell us the story. we've got a minute. >> the independent is free because it's online. i don't know what we're doing reporting this because it's in the independent. but the fact is, is there's no such thing as a green dream. anti—corbyn is not green. the more carbon you have, the greener the world is. so carbon neutral. carbon zero, whatever it is. >> that's a great point because the more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. not that i'm saying it's a great idea to fill the atmosphere with carbon dioxide, but the more there is i mean, that's plant food. so yeah, we see the greening of the deserts. we see plants growing better. it's almost like fertiliser and laboun it's almost like fertiliser and labour. labour got in promising cheap energy through all their green technology, and they're going to slash bills by up to £300. instead, bills are projected to rise by £800. >> and hilariously, he's claimed that that's why he was right. he's like, the only way to bring bills down and get control back is to have clean, home—grown power that we control. and as the writer says here, in other

words, our failure vindicates our plan, which is also lewis's motto. but but yeah. >> i never have a plan. >> i never have a plan. >> you wonder how ed miliband's got this job. it reminds me of the current man united team. we did win tonight, but it's just like shuffling the formation around endlessly because there's not enough good players, right? yeah. let's get ed. remember ed miliband, that guy that failed a few years ago? let's get him back. >> it's the guy eating that sandwich. she shouldn't have had the sarnie. >> the never have had. he should have taken out the bread, lewis. >> like you. >> like you. >> yeah, well, you know what he should have taken. exactly. that's why he was so horrible. the truth here is the truth. the truth is, is that this political party is gone. it's a question of how long it's going to be, whether, like nick says, whether it'll be there. >> and also, if you look at the labour's green policies. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> the only person who seems to be doing well out of them is one of the big donors to labour, dale vince, who's a green energy baron. he's worth over £100 million and donates millions of pounds to labour. and then, you know, labour give lots of green subsidies back. it's almost it feels it feels like a, you. >> know, like a us aid kind of

thing. >> it feels like a us aid kind of thing. anyway, that's it for this section. but coming up, jk rowling sticks the boot into lefties and why farmer's wife is a problematic term. this headliners on gb news.

>> welcome back to headliners. i've got another couple of comments from gb news usa. brett

wilkins says net zero carbon is also net zero vegetation as they feed on co2. ironic isn't it? and yet, at one point in the earth's history, we almost the earth's history, we almost the earth was almost life and earth was almost extinguished because co2 fell so far and we were saved by fungi breaking down rotten wood, i believe. and jacqui briggs says leo lewis has the most beautiful hair. a woman's dream. it was a jealous man that made that comment lol. so i think you're in there lewis. moving on. we've got the telegraph now with the health secretary, wes streeting attacking the nhs , reliance on attacking the nhs, reliance on foreign doctors. although if you walk around a hospital in london you'll see a reliance on foreign patients as well. >> lewis. >> lewis. >> you see. exactly. but of course they don't rely on the nhs because the nhs doesn't do anything. this is treating attacks on nhs. it doesn't do anything. >> it does. it does stuff. >> it does. it does stuff. >> well, you defend it then i'm not going to defend it. i go there all the time. >> he does that. it puts up with you. >> if you have cancer. >> if you have cancer. >> training you are draining. >> training you are draining. >> the nhs. draining. i just get the tests they. >> give you. >> give you. >> shut up about your own

personal life and tell us about the story on the newspaper. >> is there are lots of foreign people and they're just as incompetent as the home—grown talent. >> there's no more. >> there's no more. >> they're more incompetent. according to this article. >> we're bringing you this because there's racist. they're trying to show that these home—grown people are doing weird things because they come from weird places where they do weird things well. >> so there's not the same, you know, there's not the same level of scrutiny and oversight to the, to the test and stuff. when somebody is moving from one country to another, you know, people can can falsify their records instead of waiting to hear to get here, to falsify them. and there's some, you know, there's some horrific stories of abuse, like there was a hossam halim who was struck off after a series of allegations, including a rectal examination on a 17 year old who did not have capacity to consent, and sexually harassing a female muslim colleague. so he'd come from egypt. and he blamed british culture of drinking and socialising. >> of course, when i was growing up we had really great doctors. my up we had really great doctors. my doctor, doctor shipman, he was amazing. he he never

rectally. >> if only he'd. >> if only he'd. >> got you a round about now. >> got you a round about now. >> you know what, nick? yeah. >> you know what, nick? yeah. >> well, before lewis gets in any more trouble. yeah. wes streeting is attacking the nhs, reliance on foreign doctors and saying we're too willing to pull the immigration lever and that we need to boost home—grown talent. he's got to be careful because starmer will start calling him far right in a minute. you can be. if you're streeting, you can be far more radical on the nhs than the tories can get away with. and there's been this 400% rise in there's been this 400% rise in the number of 400%, basically the number of 400%, basically the number of them coming from the number of them coming from the european economic areas remained about stable since 2016, but a number from the rest of the world has risen 400% in the same period. here's another stat in 2016, it was the last time the uk trained more doctors than it imported. wow. so that's where we are. it's absolutely shocking. >> and it also seems a bit sick for us to be poaching. you know, the best talent from over. you know countries, countries like zambia. i can't imagine they've got as many resources as britain to train up nurses and doctors and then we poach them. >> it's called the who. red list. what do you think of the w.h.o? list. what do you think of the who? they've got shortages and w.h.o? they've got shortages and we're nicking them in a brain drain. yes. it is kind of

immoral in that way as well. >> can i can i say that we need half or a third or maybe two thirds less doctors in the nhs and we wouldn't need to import any. we just don't need as many doctors. >> we just need to be eating meat. >> we. >> we. >> thank god lewis. >> thank god lewis. >> lewis is not in a position of political power. as all i can see. >> we've. >> we've. >> got the daily mail now. >> got the daily mail now. >> i'm as. »- >> i'm as. >> good as jk rowling. >> good as jk rowling. >> has slammed lefties. please cut lewis's mike for being their own worst enemies. >> over transport. >> over transport. >> is it on. »- >> is it on. >> so jo white lewis? so it's jk rowling, says left wingers who have campaigned to destroy women's and girls rights are to blame for trump's transgender sports ban. and this is fascinating because she had this tweet. congratulations to every single person on the left who's been campaigning to destroy women and girls rights. without you, there'd be no images like this. and so it's sort of saying that like, you've let trump have the win in a way. you could just enjoy the win. you know, martina navratilova was strong on it. she was furious about about this. but my question is it reminds me of the no country for old men. i look at these people, these democrats. i say if the rule that brought you here, if

the rule you followed, brought you here, of what use was the rule? so why don't they look at it and say, i need to reassess my whole worldview because my side got it so wrong and trump got it so right. but they need to look further and say maybe they should support trump. but if you're a rolling or a navratilova, you won't. you'll stay on the left and you'll say that the radical trans movement is because of misogyny, which i've never bought, that it is. i think their diagnosis of it is wrong. they've been great campaigners against it. they're completely on the correct side of the issue. but but they don't like trump winning it because they're still clinging to the left and they're clinging to the idea that that somehow this comes from misogyny. i believe it comes from left wing thinking. but anyway, yes, postmodernism. >> it's the sort of it's almost an extension of feminism. it's, you know, the whatever wave we're on. it's 18th wave feminism where, you know, instead of women can do anything men can do. men are women. men can do. men are women. >> men can do. men are women. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> but also, if i could say that that women think they're as good as men, so they don't care if men participate. but men are so much better. even the ones who. the point about this story is

j.k. no, j.k,j.k. the point about this story is j.k. no, j.k, j.k. rowling. >> he means at sport. >> he means at sport. >> he means at sport. >> he means. >> he means. >> at sport, right? right. >> at sport, right? right. >> jk in life. in life, they think. >> we can help you there. i thought you. >> meant as a wife. >> meant as a wife. >> no, every which way. but the point about j.k. rowling is 20, 25 years ago i went to an event in london. >> i thought, this is the point. >> i thought, this is the point. >> no, this is the point because j.k. rowling is one of those left wing women. she was totally involved in this. she was she was giving money for women to, like, divorce their husbands and be on their own. like, so she's she's a cause of this. that's why it's been a miracle that she's changed. >> but it's. >> but it's. >> interesting that you've changed. but feminism, it's feminism has changed. that's what it is. and so it's gone to a point beyond that. she's comfortable with. >> yeah. and it's completely decoupled. >> blame herself. she's going woo woo to those women. >> but it's completely. >> but it's completely. >> decoupled from reality now because they say, you know, in the ideological world it's like, oh yes. no, of course a trans woman, a trans woman is a real woman. so of course they should go into female changing rooms. but then you get some big lumpy bloke who's just like, oh, i'm a woman. and it's like, come on, you're not a woman. like, we've

got to be real about this sort of stuff. also, it's interesting that, you know, we've got people on the left decrying martina navratilova and jk rowling as nazis and, you know, the idea that they're far right in some way is just an absolute nonsense. not that i'm saying the nazis were far right. they were far left. of course they were far left. of course they were socialists. >> well, moving on. >> well, moving on. >> we've got the daily mail now, and gender inclusivity has reached the world of farming with predictably idiotic results. louis. >> louis daily mail, £1.60 tomorrow, which is a very good value. don't say i love the i love the daily mail. i don't believe anything that it says, but i love it. okay, don't say farmer's wife as it reinforces gender stereotypes. the nfu, which is the national federation for farm national farmers union, tells its scottish members amid new inclusivity drive. they're going around saying saying that a farmer is not necessarily a man, that it's inappropriate for a board meeting to be a night out in a pub, you know, it's basically common sense views because there are probably many women who are farmers.

>> i mean, were there many women calling for these changes? i think a night out in a pub is a perfectly proper thing for a bunch of farmers to do. >> i think a lot of farmers, they can be, i don't know, farmers i don't know, i don't think i've ever met a farmer, but i think that farmers don't know what's appropriate. i've taken a girl, you know what i mean? >> i've done. >> i've done. >> they know. they know better than anyone. they know reality. >> this is ridiculous. they're treating farmers as if they're, you know, students at goldsmiths or something. they're saying don't use phrases such as what the housewife wants and bring your wife. and the shopping is great because these are sexist phrases. >> yeah, yeah. they also said they can't say, what are you doing here? or ask how many acres someone has. next you'll be saying, you can't say, get off my land. what's the point of being a farmer if you can't ask about the acres? and they say other reforms that nfu recommended are making a consistent effort to support initiatives such as such as respect and take part in pride march. they're going to send farmers to a pride march. >> come on. so we're. >> going to have a combine harvester going down a pride march. i mean, this could end in disaster. >> and they'll have pitchforks.

so it's always a bad thing for march. >> are you saying there are no gay farmers? of course. >> there are no gay farmers. >> there are no gay farmers. >> all women. >> all women. >> have you ever seen what peppa the pig looks like? beautiful. >> oh, so they give an example of an offensive thing that a member said, which was nicola sturgeon. only good thing about her is her legs. i mean. >> that is quite offensive. >> that is quite offensive. >> her legs are terrible. this is she has no they should have said nicola sturgeon has no redeeming features whatsoever, including her legs. that would have been a more accurate thing to say. anyway, moving on. we've got the daily mail now , and got the daily mail now, and kanye west thinks donald trump missed someone out in his presidential pardon. p diddy nick. >> yes, it's diddy responds after kanye west backtracked on their feud and called for disgraced rapper to be freed from jail in shock social media meltdown. is it a shock? i'm not, i don't know. there's been quite a few of these social media meltdowns. so cold. or is he? is it five d chess? who knows. so. so yeah. yeah. as he's now called, he's been on a kind of twitter tirade recently and he said free puff meaning diddy. and he's taken his side though he's also said i love hitler. so in that context, did he might be a bit less thrilled

to get the endorsement? he seems to get the endorsement? he seems to be on a strange tirade here. i've got a controversial opinion. why not? he keeps saying all these things about how he loves hitler. hitler was so fresh. he's doing it so much now. he even tweeted i am a nazi. well, when people don't clip these out of context, by the way. >> he's doing. >> he's doing. >> this, he's doing this so much now, i just wonder if he's just breaking taboos for the sake of it, which ironically, is kind of a liberal thing to do. >> oh. >> oh. >> so that's my little switcheroo at the end. yes, he's praising hitler because he's liberal. >> yeah, he's postmodern. >> yeah, he's postmodern. >> far left ideology. >> far left ideology. >> but you know what? he tempered his comment because he said, i like he liked jews too. so he took away the love that he meant from the first the first part. the point is, i don't like particularly like hitler. well, i don't like all of hitler's things. he did a lot of nice things. he did a lot of nice things. he did a lot of nice things. he was well dressed. he was good with kids. he had a nice dog. you know, maybe we should. maybe they should ask kanye what part of hitler. >> right? >> right? >> you're saying it's a. >> you're saying it's a. >> mixed bag with hitler? >> mixed bag with hitler? >> with hitler? you can't be totally against. >> the guy. >> the guy. >> and it is progress, surely, that you know, the nazis in 2025 are now a racially diverse

organisation with kanye west as a member? >> yeah. i mean, it's like they got to let people in. business has been so bad for the nazis. you know, when they started to let the jews in, i mean, that's going a bit too far. >> okay, we'll come back for the final section. with trump bringing back plastic straws, you'll finally be able to drink that gin and tonic. a football commentator in trouble for telling the truth about women's football and ireland getting another wave of immigration. this time it's from america. this time it's from america. 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. >> a wet start to this weekend in majorca, but the rain should be clearing from the balearics by sunday. plenty of showers to come across italy. lots of fine and sunny weather over the greek islands. a bit of a chilly breeze though, blowing here across turkey and cyprus. some

>> welcome back to headliners. we've got a couple more comments from usa. so first last says on the subject of men pretending to be women, i see two of those this evening sitting either side of lewis, who? so harsh and mark gerard says headliners must cost this channel £2,000 a night. well, i'm impressed you think we cost. >> so much. >> so much. >> we've got the daily mail now, and comedian harry deansway has ended up owing a comedy production company 60 grand. and this time it's not for doing the edinburgh fringe. nick. >> yes, i took on steve coogan's bbc backed comedy empire and lost everything. i'm going bankrupt and may have to sell my dog as a fellow comic. he should show me mercy. and as you say, this is harry deansway. i remember doing gigs with him years ago, so i certainly don't want to diss harry and i'll do it. well, i don't know him that well, but i feel bad that he has to pay 61,000. he claimed that the baby cow productions live at the baby cow productions live at the moth club copied his show shambles, which is a youtube show. i haven't seen it either

because i don't follow comedy. i hate the comedy world so much. even watching it would make anything would make me feel physically sick. so i don't watch any of it. but i do feel bad for harry because he says i'm persona non grata in the comedy industry, and i could totally relate to that part because i remember the whole comedy world piling on me. so that part i can relate to. >> but you're. >> but you're. >> good at comedy. you're good at comedy. thank you. whereas harry deansway, i don't know what he's like as a person, but a gig with him and he just he was a fun it was a really fun gig- was a fun it was a really fun gig. it was one of these burlesque, you know, mixed, mixed bit like it was run by vic victoria. but anyway, really. >> fun. really fun show. >> fun. really fun show. >> really fun show. and harry just nosedived. it absolutely just nosedived. it absolutely just brought the energy down, was moody, was rubbish at comedy. and you know, then he's tried to sue steve coogan. that's like, unless you're going to win. well, it's a dumb move to win. well, it's a dumb move to go to court. >> but he could have won. maybe in another country he could have won. he's steve coogan, who's like an amazing guy. i did a tv show with steve coogan. if you google baby cow louis shaffer,

92,000 or something, there's some good jokes i told. >> weird how all these stories are about you. >> they are. because the whole world is about me. because the people tune in to see me. but but the point is, you can't win a court case. this is good for harry. it's been £61,000. how much money did he get for doing this article for the daily mail? how much money? how much pubuchyis how much money? how much publicity is he getting? >> not £60,000. >> not £60,000. >> no. >> no. >> it's not good publicity. oh, i lost a court case. >> to be fair. >> to be fair. >> even it says even the judge in the high court. that baby cow show appeared to have the same underlying, same central underlying, same central underlying idea. and i had ideas i felt were stolen. and it's not a pleasant feeling. i'm not saying it was, but i've had ideas. i've felt. >> i'm absolutely certain that, you know, i believe that harry has a point, and i believe harry, i believe harry. but, you know, that's just what happens in comedy. all good, all good ideas. you know, you have a good idea. you tell somebody in the pub, all of a sudden you see it, you know, you'll see it six months later, pop up on dave or something like that. >> it's i agree with you. let the people who are watching it say, wait a second, that reminds

me of harry dean's ways show that was on. i know the guy. i like the guy i think the guy was is funny or has been funny is funny. >> he's only funny in a sort of louis shaffer kind of way. >> that's what i. >> that's what i. >> consider funny. >> consider funny. >> as it will tank. >> as it will tank. >> as it will tank. >> a gig. >> a gig. >> yes. anyway, we've got the sun now, and it sounds like donald trump is sick of sucking his diet coke through a disintegrating, mushy bit of papen disintegrating, mushy bit of paper. louis. >> i'm not tanking this show. i'm building it up. trump this is in the sun. the sun. trump and i'm going to cry. trump announces war on. announces war on. >> announces war on. >> woke issue. >> woke issue. >> really? on woke paper straws that don't work. pledges, pledges , order to bring back pledges, order to bring back plastic straws. and he hasn't doneit plastic straws. and he hasn't done it yet, but he's going to done it yet, but he's going to do it. and the president of united states can't bring back plastic straws, but he can make it possible to really, i guess, to promote it. >> and i. >> and i. >> think he can bring them back with the other stuff. i mean, he can nuke countries so he can probably bring back plastic straws. >> he needs to bring back plastic. he says it's so the straws are interesting. very trump comment. everybody focuses

on the straws. but he says there's a lot of other things to focus. he's talking about the plates, the wrappers. everything's bigger than the straws. it's a great point. it reminds me of the tethered bottle cap that we're forced to use in a because of the eu on those bottles. i've switched brands just to get rid of it. you know, the tethered. >> bottle. >> bottle. >> it's just attached. idiotically attached. yeah, i'm probably not allowed to mention. which prohibits certain brands. text me in private. don't text me. >> i'll just bite the. >> i'll just bite the. >> side of the bottle now and dnnk >> side of the bottle now and drink it like a vampire. >> yeah. i mean, that's what you're reduced to. it's so idiotic. you know, we need to bnng idiotic. you know, we need to bring back plastic. >> absolutely. plastic. plastic is great. and the paper straws just don't work. >> we love plastic. >> we love plastic. >> moving on. >> moving on. >> we've got the independent. >> we've got the independent. >> plastic football commentator alan brazil. don't cut to louis. don't encourage him in trouble for saying that women's football isn't as important as men's. but women's football is easier because you're just playing against women. >> nick well, that's disgusting, leo but it's what alan brazil revealed about the men who hate women's football. it's a very long, independent piece. so what he revealed is some feminist fluff. but basically i watched the clip and i thought it was fine. alan, brazil is just being realistic. he's just saying when people talk about man united,

they mainly mean the men's team. that's what i took from it. it's like, yes, obviously we have to have this weird pretence it's okay to have women's football. we don't have to pretend it's reached the same level of interest as men's football, because obviously it hasn't. yeah. why can't we admit that? >> and that's reflected in the ticket sales. i mean, you know, you can't force people to buy tickets for it. >> i saw one guy moaning about this on twitter. he went he turned out you go to his timeline. he never mentioned women's football once, but he was just telling off alan brazil. virtue signalling. sorry, louis. i jumped in. sorry, louis. ijumped in. >> no i don't, i'm a little confused. which kind of football is this? >> it's not the it's not the american football where you hold the rugby ball. >> it's a. »- >> it's a. >> proper football. anyway, the show is nearly over. >> so let's take another. >> so let's take another. >> quick look at saturday's front pages. the sun has vile, rude and abusive, but itv covered up for gino, says kim woodburn. the telegraph has labour to open talks on slavery payouts. the times has alarm over diversity push at universities. the guardian has trump's aid cuts could be a big mistake. according to david lammy, the express has reeves

tax raid hurts british farms. that's according to a star of countryfile and the daily star hasifs countryfile and the daily star has it's time to get the big coat out because it's cold and that's all we have time for. thank you to my guests louis and nick. i'll be back tomorrow at 11 pm. with nick and steve and alan. and if you're watching at 5 am, stay tuned for breakfast. goodbye. see you tomorrow. >> bye. >> bye. >> 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. heading towards the weekend. still plenty of cloudy skies. also some showers and a little bit of hill snow and it's still going to be remaining chilly in those brisk easterly winds. that's all thanks to thanks to an area of high pressure across scandinavia bringing us this brisk easterly flow. so it is going to be feeling chilly in the in the winds and is dragging in some cloud. also some rain and some showers across the southeast, pushing up into wales and central parts of the uk. and

this likely to bring some snow across the hills of wales, perhaps even the pennines, later in the morning, but a slightly different story to the north—west. clearer and drier here, likely to see some frost dunng here, likely to see some frost during the first part of the morning. now for the beginning of the weekend across the south. it could be quite a damp start for some with some showers, these merging into longer spells of rain, particularly across parts of east anglia and the south east. so quite a murky start to the day. perhaps a few clearer spells across cornwall and similar across wales. northern parts of england. quite a cloudy start but clearer to the northwest of ireland, northwestern parts of scotland. but here that's where we're going to see the frost and we will start to see some showers just edging their way into eastern parts of scotland to once again, we could see some wintriness to these showers, particularly across high ground and the hills of scotland. and that's pretty much the setup for the rest of the day. still a fair amount of cloud around. it could be quite drizzly at times. still a chance we could see some flurries of snow across high ground and wales, parts of the pennines and the best of the brightness once again to the far northwest of the country. but

for all, it is still going to be feeling like a chilly day, particularly in exposed spots in those brisk winds for the second half of the weekend. once again, plenty of cloud around, but the best of the brightness still across northern parts of scotland, perhaps less so across parts of wales. for many, it's going to be a cloudy day, some drizzle at times and still a very small chance we could see some wintriness across the hills. and that cloud sticks around for the beginning of next week too. and that means temperatures are going to struggle. so still feeling rather chilly by. >> we can expect clear skies leading to a light and warm day lovely boxt solar
