>> and let me tell you, this is absolute gold. get ready, because a ceo at jp morgan has unleashed an attack on work from home. young gen z staff. this is leaked audio. are you ready for it? it.7 >> it? >> and don't give me the work from home. friday works. i call a lot of people on friday. did not a person get a hold of. >> someone's angry? anyway, it was a valentine's day massacre for chelsea last night at the amex as they crashed to a heavy defeat down at brighton and had manchester city struck a blow in their legal battle with the premier league. we'll find out later. >> good morning. a cloudy and cold start for many of us, including a risk of snow and ice including a risk of snow and ice in the northeast, but it should turn brighter later. to find out where. stay tuned and i'll have all the details. >> well, it's just gone 6:00. as you've been listening to there and seeing, we have got an action packed breakfast show for you today on patrick christys emily carver. >> and this is gb news

breakfast. >> well, just thought we'd start by saying. aidan, i don't know if you're aware of this, but. but you are in the presence of the 40th power couple. >> i read this. >> i read this. >> in britain. >> in britain. >> in britain. >> i was impressed. >> i was impressed. >> there we go. so? so there's nothing. there's nothing like waking up on valentine's day morning, is there? emily? every woman's dream to find that we are rock bottom of the country's power couple. >> yeah, but there could be hundreds of people considered for this, you know. >> oh. >> oh. >> yes, i know someone who works on the on the times top 500 rich list, and they consider thousands of entrants or possible just. >> to be on. »- >> to be on. >> the list. >> the list. >> just to be on the list. pretty chuffed. >> top 40 could be in quite a narrow percentage at the top. >> just clarify it's not the rich list unfortunately. unfortunately it's westminster power couples. >> so who else was on the list? >> so who else was on the list? >> well, morgan mcsweeney is keir starmer's adviser was on there. >> and keir starmer presumably was on there. >> yeah. and there's.

>> yeah. and there's. >> a. >> a. >> few people. so when you put it in that context, i suppose that we're actually doing okay. >> we're doing all right. number 40 out of 40. >> 40 out of 40. >> the only way is up. really? >> the only way is up. really? >> well, quite. >> well, quite. >> literally, unless we get booted off next year. >> i think as long as we have breath in our bodies, we'll probably get up to the top 35 next year. >> but apparently we're the

agbutgpparentlv we're the voter concerns. >e>,but:hpparentlv we're the voter concerns. here's ignoring voter concerns. here's a clip of him getting stuck. >> a threat that i worry the most about vis a vis europe is not russia. it's not china. it's not russia. it's not china. it's not any other external actor. and what i worry about is the threat from within the retreat of europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the united states of america and britain and across europe. free speech, i fear, is in retreat and offer. >> there you go, jd vance. he narrowed in on our free speech laws right here in the united kingdom. he singled us out as

being the worst offenders, talking about an army reservist fined for praying silently, also drew a direct line between the suspected terror attack just here a couple of days ago and huge numbers of people coming into europe over the last year now that has gone down very, very badly here with most people. but there are elections in ten days time. the afd surging in the polls. they are quite delighted by what he's had to say. and i do think that a lot of voters will have thought there was a fair point in saying, you know, you might not

like sometimes what the public are telling you, but you do need to listen to them. and if you don't, you can expect them to vote for somebody else. >> yeah. and catherine, this has been framed by some media outlets and of course, by some european leaders as an attack on europe. was it an attack on europe, though, or was it an attack on, on on policy choices? was it an attack on various european leaders and the decisions that they've made, rather than an attack on our our continent? >> well, jd vance would clearly say it was an attack on choices that european leaders have made rather than europe itself. and i think, first of all, i'd urge you to listen to the whole speech. if you haven't, it's a saturday. if you've got a bit of time and we should really listen

an crime of standing 50m from an abortion clinic and silently praying for three minutes. >> so there you go, jd vance, pointing out a very particular story about, well, that he believes demonstrates how free speech is fundamentally under threat and also expression of religion. should we talk to political commentator andy preston? andy, your reaction to that clip we just played where he decides to single out a particular story? in the united

kingdom, it's pretty clear that jd vance and donald trump as well, and elon musk are very concerned about what's happening in this country. >> hi. morning, everyone. well, like, wow, i mean, where did this come from? i mean, listen, perception was a word that i think you used earlier. and it is all about perception, isn't it? i mean, aside from the fact we really should be taught, they should be talking about the ukraine, about defence, about the annexation of countries by russia, to go into the idea of free speech and decaying values. it has some merit. but is there really such a big issue in this, in this country? and when we look and take lectures from the us with their astonishing problems of gun crime, the murder rate is far worse

problems of gun crime, the murderanye is far worse problems of gun crime, the murderany borders/orse problems of gun crime, the murderany borders really, in having any borders really, in this country. >> so you can say donald trump and jd vance. yeah, america needs to get, you know, it's its self in order before they start slagging off europe. but hang on, this is a new administration in america. yeah. and you know started doing quite a lot haven't they. >> well we'll see what we'll see . >> well we'll see what we'll see. what is going to be talked about quite a lot. i'm very keen to hear from you. you can see the link on your on your screen there. gbnews.com/yoursay. and i love doing the breakfast shows because i get to actually interact with the viewers a lot more than i do in the evenings normally. >> so just talking at people in the evening. >> of ice the

also brings a risk of ice the best of the brightness likely to the far northwest of scotland. but it will also eventually brighten up across parts of devon and cornwall too. for many, it is going to be a chillier day, but starting to turn slightly milder across parts of the southwest, particularly by the afternoon. so to end the day on saturday, then plenty of clear skies

across the southwest, so likely seeing quite a nice sunset. but that's where it's going to turn chilly overnight. likely to see some patchy frost elsewhere. there's plenty of cloud around, so quite a murky evening on offer. low clouds, some outbreaks of rain and drizzle and still a risk we could start to see some snow, particularly around north sea coasts, mainly across high ground, though we could see some flurries to lower levels to plenty of clear skies to the north—west of scotland. here, once again we're likely to see some patchy frost. then overnight we see this area of cloud and rain slowly shift its way northeastwards. as it does, it does tend to fizzle out a little bit, but still going to leave plenty of cloud. still a chance. we could see some drizzly outbreaks and still to higher ground, risk of snow to higher ground, particularly in the northeast, but largely dry and clear across the southwest and across the northwest of scotland. but here it is going to be chilly with that risk of frost by the time we reach the morning. as this area of cloud and rain continues to push northeastwards, there's also a chance we could see some freezing rain along this feature. so once again a chance we could see some ice. but for many across wales, southern

parts of england, a drier day on offer compared to saturday, though, a return of the cloud and rain from the very far, far west which will affect northern ireland later and, for most, another chilly day on offer but still mildest in across the southwest by. >> expect a warm front moving from the kitchen right through to the rest of the house. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news. >> okay, well still to come. veterans >
