well, someone's trying to get rid of me pretty early on. i was about to say that that kai wilshire and alex armstrong. but my friends tonight on the show. emma. >> well, keir starmer is gaslighting the americans over free speech in the uk. >> climate fanatics are after your holidays, your cars and your holidays, your cars and your kebabs. >> labour have made clear, my friends, that they care more about foreign aid than they do freedom pensioners. >> leftists have blown up over zelenskyy and trump here in the uk. >> and reform must choose between the united kingdom and

russia. >> absolutely ludicrous. >> absolutely ludicrous. >> ridiculous thing to say. >> ridiculous thing to say. >> it's 6 pm. and this is the saturday five now. good evening and a very warm welcome to you, my friends. i�*m darren grimes, my friends. i'm darren grimes, and what a week it has been. shocking scenes as a short, shocking scenes. as a short, squabbling egomaniac publicly demanded more cash, more munitions and bigger security guarantees from the leader of the free world. for a moment, my friends, i thought i was watching an episode of the saturday five board meetings where a short squabbling alex where a short, squabbling alex armstrong demands more airtime, more social media clips, and a bigger slice of the budget. and just like sleepyjoe biden, just like sleepyjoe biden, i was often the one left nodding along, unsure of what i'd just along, unsure of what i�*d just agreed to. naturally, alex joins us tonight, fresh from his latest bid to increase his screen time. it's going quite screen time. it�*s going quite well. the man's addiction to television is so strong that if you cut him open, his blood type is hdmi. i hear he�*s now

is hdmi. i hear he's now demanding a 24 hour live stream of himself, just in case he misses out on a single second of self—promotion. sadly, we're without our fervent willie this evening. the man who stands tall, proud and forever upright has decided he needs some time off. it�*s terribly exhausting being that firm all the time. we wish him a well—earned rest. though i must say it feels very unwilling like, to go floppy on us at the last minute. but don't worry. to balance things out, we do have kai, where will is rigid, steadfast and firmly on the right. kai is, well floppy, feeble and fuelled entirely by quackery and wokery. the man's entire diet consists of tofu, gender theory and whatever the guardian is pushing this week, which explains why his arguments, much like his handshake, have all the strength of a wet paper bag. still with us is the resident glamorous gp doctor fina on hand to diagnose

britain's latest political britain�*s latest political ailments, prescribe common sense and roll our eyes at the absolute state of kai's nutrient deficiencies. and joining the panel tonight is emma trimble. she's sharp, she's fearless, and she's about to discover once she�*s about to discover once again that she can handle the saturday five initiation ritual, namely being talked over, contradicted and having to dodge alex armstrong�*s many attempts to go viral. welcome. and of course, we couldn't do this show course, we couldn�*t do this show without talking about the bbc. this week, my friends, because they're well and truly cooked. the same bbc that hounded pensioners and single parents over licence fees as well as students. it's now facing a potential terror probe over a hamas funding documentary. now, i always suspected that bbc coverage leaned towards hamas, but i didn't think they were literally passing the collection plate around for them. i mean, you have to hand it to them.

most broadcasters just spread propaganda of some sort. the bbc is out here offering direct debit plans for jihadis. is out here offering direct debit plans forjihadis. if you've watched the programme lately, you'd think they were at war with their own audience. turns out they might well have been funded one. at this rate, the next season of doctor who will be filmed in a gaza tunnel with a special appearance from a non—binary, decolonial palestinian correspondent who only reports in spoken word poetry. 0h, only reports in spoken word poetry. oh, i tell you. as always, we want to hear from you. drop us a line at gbnews.com/poll. and don't forget your questions for ask the five. no topics is off limits. and vote for your favourite five. go to gbnews.com/poll to vote for your favourite five. we'll bring you live updates on that poll throughout the show. >> do not need to say who won last week. >> renee won last week. we didn�*t. >> get to see it because. >> get to see it because. >> president trump took to the stage. but renee wants me to

point out that she got 40 something percent of the vote. and alex has already voted for himself. the vote opens at six and it closes at 830. we�*ll bring you those results now before this descends into total chaos. or willie springs up into chaos. 0r willie springs up into the studio to kerb his fear of missing out. it's time for your saturday night news with sophie reaper. >> thank you, darren, and a very good evening to you. we'll start with some breaking news from the last hour. now, as ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy has arrived for his visit at downing street. just a warning. the following footage contains some flashing images. sir keir starmer was there to greet president zelenskyy as the pair shook hands outside number 10 before entering to begin their bilateral meeting. the ukrainian president is in the uk ahead of a major defence summit in london tomorrow. sir keir and his ukrainian counterpart sat down in downing street, where both men expressed their desire for peace and thanked the british
