saturday five. yes. good evening and welcome to the saturday five. i'm alex armstrong, your new host of this brilliant show. i know for many of you, today will be like tuning in to a new season of your favourite show, only to find out that the main character has been axed. but i want to spill the tea on what really went down. as many of you may know, i've been plotting this coup for a super long time, week after week. darren grimes tried to foil and expose my plans, but little did we all know that another member of this panel actually finished darren off. and before you ask, no, it wasn't willie. yes, i'm giving you an exclusive inside story, a scoop of the likes you've never seen before on gb news. so yes, despite the reports of my coup, i'm sorry to report that it

wasn't me that pushed out darren. i can reveal that it was actually kye wiltshire. yes. his weekly whining and whingeing alongside his insufferable simpering to keir starmer and the labour party finished darren off. he just couldn't take it anymore. do you blame him.7 he anymore. do you blame him? he ran out of the studio screaming, claiming his ears were bleeding. after three hours of tolerating kai, so i shipped darren off to that betty ford rehab joint that he banished me to just a few weeks ago. so good news for darren. the rehab clinic is under new management. the famous right wing canadian psychologist, doctor jordan peterson is running the centre now. he's murmuring tales of brexit glory and stories of just stop oil protesters being rounded up and sent to china, whispering them in darren's ear. lasti whispering them in darren's ear. last i checked, darren is in restful, drooling trance, dreaming of union jack undies and a gigantic seawall in the channel to stop the boats. sleep well darren. but while some are

drifting off, nothing screams upright and ready to blow. as our favourite aussie willie kingston. yes, willie is back from gallivanting around on his ever popular podcast fire willie. but please, whatever you do, don't google that because you might not quite like the search results. and with all this madness, britain's toughest doctor is still with us, doctor. ronny. yes. welcome back. now, it's no coincidence that many of you are suffering from this bizarre two month long cold that's been haunting britain. well, i think i know why doctor ronny has told me she's been stockpiling antibiotics in her spare bedroom like a doomsday prepper. she's been cackling nhs. never heard of her. yeah, she's trying to wean the country off our compulsive nanny state nhs. nonsense. and i'm also sorry to tell you that we tried to book professor matthew goodwin, host of state of the nation, here on gb news, but he sadly is preoccupied polishing off some new spreadsheets on the latest migration crisis data. so i sent this crackpot panel out

to find the next best thing. here he is. it's councillor matthew goodwin. freeman. yes, he's making his debut on the panel tonight. you may have seen matthew before. he famously sneaks into sadiq khan's people's question time, posing as a member of the public before he unleashes a torrent of toryism on the mayor of london. anyway, you all know the drill. each host outlines their argument about a chosen topic. then we all pile in and the fur starts to fly. and of course, i want to hear all of your views, so please send them in to gb gbnews.com/yoursay. and don't forget to get your questions in forget to get your questions in for ask the five. as you know, nothing is off limits and you can vote now. interestingly, i don't know how we're going to do this one again. for your favourite five, you can go to gbnews.com/poll and vote for your favourite five there, and we'll bring you live updates on that poll throughout the show. and i'm telling you what, if i don't win this week, you might be down to the saturday four. i'm telling you, the vote will be open from 6 pm. closing at 830, so we'll bring results

shortly after then. but before we start tearing each other apart, it's time for your saturday night news with the brilliant lewis mackenzie. >> what a fantastic introduction. thank you very much, alex. good evening. it's just after 6:00. i'm lewis mackenzie here in the gb newsroom. now, a man has climbed big ben draped in a palestinian flag. at least nine emergency service vehicles are in attendance on social media. on a social media live stream, the man said i'm going. i'm good to stay up here for some time. i feel the lining of my jacket with supplies. replying to a comment on said live stream about when he will come down, the man replied until i feel i can't anymore. a crane of what appears to be negotiators has approached the man. see on your screens right now. they've been speaking to the man for around an hour now. the surrounding

area, including westminster bridge, has been closed to the general public. a met police officer spokesman has said officers are at the scene working to bring the incident to a safe conclusion. it's reported that the incident started at 8 am. this morning. we'll bring you the very latest here on gb news. meanwhile, pro—palestine activists have vandalised president trump's golf course in scotland. red paint was sprayed over the clubhouse while the message gaza is not for sale was painted on the lawn of the us president's turnberry golf course. this action is reportedly in response to his administration's plans to, quote, take over gaza and ethnically cleanse the region. a body has been recovered by police from the river thames, which is being linked to a manhunt for the suspect in the valentine's day pub shooting in kent. 43 year old lisa smith was killed last month after she was shot outside the horseshoe pub in knockholt. the suspect was

known to lisa and later that evening officers found his car abandoned on the queen elizabeth ii bridge in the area. a police investigation is ongoing. the reform mp rupert lowe has been suspended from the party amid allegations he made physical threats against the party chairman, zia yousaf. mr yousaf confirmed the party had also received complaints from two female employees about serious bullying in mr low's parliamentary and constituency offices. in a statement, mr low said he was disappointed but not surprised to learn of what he says are false allegations. he also said that the allegations of bullying in his offices are not about him. today's international women's day, the annual celebration aims to champion women's achievements across all aspects of life. to mark the event, the house of commons have posted this photo of female mps. currently, there are 263 women mps serving in the

house, making up 40% of the total number of mps today, the highest number ever in uk history. and finally, four european brown bears at whipsnade zoo have woken up from hibernation. the bear's manor, mini nia and of course cinderella have finally gotten out of bed after three months of deep slumber, signalling the start of spring at the uk's largest zoo. well, those have been your latest gb news headlines. for now i'm lewis mackenzie. more from me in an hours mackenzie. more from me in an hour's time. >> for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code or go to gbnews.com/alerts. >> yes. welcome back. it's saturday night and you of course, with the saturday five.

i'm alex armstrong and i can promise you that you're in for a very lively show as ever. well, let's crack on with tonight's first debate. who's going to kick us off? >> me. >> me. >> oh, go on then, renee. >> oh, go on then, renee. >> okay, so as the reform party internally imploded in front of our eyes last night, i found myself angry, upset and despondent about the future of britain from my inbox this morning. these were emotions shared by many. i'm angry that five grown men, all supposedly mature, were unable to sort out their differences behind closed doors and keep reform on track to retrieve this country from the toilet. and in allowing their egos to dominate, they have left hundreds of thousands of reform reform voters devastated. now let's be sensible. nigel farage is one of, if not the most influential political movers and shakers in decades, and without nigel reform would not now have five, i mean four mps, and this must not be forgotten. having said

this, over the not be forgotten.
