Five members of a bulgarian organised crime group have been convicted of falsely claiming over £50 million in universal credit in the uks biggest ever case of benefit fraud, the gang worked for almost five years making thousands of false claims for universal credit, using either real or fake identities. The investigation identified three so called benefit factories, which were based in london, where repeated false claims were supported by forged documents, including fake tenancy agreements, counterfeit payslips and forged letters from landlords, employers and gps assaulting a shop worker will be made into a new criminal offence as the government responds to a surge in retail crime. Its after a report found violent and abusive incidents against shop workers rose by 50 in 2022 to 23. The workers rose by 50 in 2022 to 23. The government previously said it didnt think a new change in the law was needed, but today said it would be amending its criminal justice bill to bring in the new offence. Labour says the move was long overdue and something they had campaigned for a decade. Pro Palestine Protesters sprayed red paint on the mod today in london. Five people were arrested for criminal damage and are in police custody. The defence secretary, grant shapps, said the armed forces cant and wont be intimidated, adding those inside the Defence Headquarters stand up to dictators and terrorists every day, adding those targeting us are the opposite cowardly criminals whom im glad to see have been arrested.

I mean, this is bad , but economic warfare, i bad, but economic warfare, i mean, if youre a nation that can brought down by some can be brought down by some dodgy stamps, you you dodgy stamps, you deserve, you know, china if know, well done. China if anyones ever going to say the uk to rule the world, gave uk used to rule the world, gave us television, invented various, you internet , the you know, the internet, the world wide web, then stamps did him in though you know. Him in though you never know. Then how can it be done . But then how can it be done . Because of the because my understanding of the new all have those new stamps, they all have those barcodes, dont they . Can barcodes, dont they . So how can thisso you get a copy like a big so you get a copy like a big sheet of all of those . Yes. Send it to china. They copy. It looks so but unless you read so good.

Not so good. But unless you can read ba|skilled at. Yes. You not so good. But unless you can read ba|skilled at. Yes. You think . t be skilled at. Yes. You think . Well, thats perfectly good well, thats a perfectly good stamp. Put it on the letter. Off it flagged as a it goes. If it gets flagged as a problematic by post problematic one by the post office. They then charge office. Yes, they then charge the recipient. And think the recipient. And this i think is story here, because is the real story here, because it didnt used to be £5 as a fine and now it is no post office. We already dont like you because what did to you because of what you did to toby so maybe you back toby jones. So maybe you back off a little bit. An off a little bit. Nick, this is an act of war, isnt nick, this is an act of war, isnit i was going to say it is. And i was going to say the royal mail systems are not faulty, and that could never happen. Office could happen. The post office could have systems. We know have faulty systems. We know that as you say, that now. So yeah, as you say, andrew, an act of war and andrew, its an act of war and its the last thing were expecting. Genius. Its the last thing were expireally genius. Its the last thing were expireally like genius. Its the last thing were expireally like gestuff. Its really like sun tzu stuff. Were attacks. Were looking for cyber attacks. Were looking for cyber attacks. Were invade were thinking, will they invade taiwan . They develop some taiwan . Will they develop some sort Hypersonic Missile . Sort of Hypersonic Missile . No, no, stamps. No, the stamps. The beginning of is this not the beginning of world i want to world war iii . I dont want to be overdramatic, i think be overdramatic, but i think its probably the end of the world this point. Its probably the end of the worbut this point. Its probably the end of the worbut who; point. Its probably the end of the worbut who still1t. Its probably the end of the worbut who still sending but who still sending letters . I mean, attacking us now trying now via stamps is like trying to attack counterfeit attack us via counterfeit membership blockbuster membership cards to blockbuster video. I dont its going video. I dont think its going to down. To bring us down. Thatd funny no, thatd be funny if the chinese thought still chinese thought we were still a lettuce economy and they lettuce based economy and they didnt god love didnt realise, well, god love him trying. Him for trying. Least theyre being at least theyre being innovative , lets now to innovative, lets move on now to the nick, youve got the the times, nick, youve got the times front cover. What are they running thursday . Running with on thursday . Claims rise its sickness claims rise hits heartlands, and hits tory heartlands, and the subheading is incapacity benefit up subheading is incapacity benefit p by subheading is incapacity benefit up by a third in affluent areas. So the basic gist is that we thought it was deprived inner city areas. But now its hitting the tories where it hurts and their actual voters. So some of their actual voters. So some of the biggest proportional increases are in commuter and rural areas, which have generally lower benefit generally had lower benefit numbers. So now its hitting the tories like, oh no, weve got to do about it. Do something about it. So they cant keep saying, well, because well, lower benefits because its the tories that are going to right. But i think later right. But i think later weve more about mel weve got more stories about mel stride to tackle this in stride trying to tackle this in the going try the ways theyre going to try and try deal it. Weve and try and deal with it. Weve heard of rhetoric lately heard sort of rhetoric lately from stride saying, look, from mel stride saying, look, hey, are just hey, anxiety and things are just the and downs the normal ups and downs of life, which means like, oh no, were going have to actually were going to have to actually tackle well, thats tackle this.

There was also the say the lockdowns. I refuse to say pandemic. Lockdowns the lockdowns. I refuse to say pan you seem quite breezy, nick. But im im a yeah, but im just im a pretty cool guy. Basically pretty cool guy. But basically things bleak for when pretty cool guy. But basically thin look bleak for when pretty cool guy. But basically thin look at bleak for when pretty cool guy.

I imagine that inside your soul, its sort of a dark, raging furnace horror. Raging furnace of horror. Had, like, no, i had, like, a dissociative episode a while ago, and everythings fine since then.

Sort of a physical thing. Whereas now you can be signed off for these ephemeral emotions, intangible, oh, emotions, this intangible, oh, i signed off with ennui. Of course, southerners are getting it before then, the kind of it so before then, the kind of stuff that they used to moan about. Oh no. We had a dinner party that wasnt fun. They had to back to but now, are to go back to work. But now, are you they get ennui you suggesting they get ennui because to because theyre nearer to france . Even know what france . I dont even know what it but sounds like it means. But it sounds like that, dont know, sounded it means. But it sounds like that, rightt know, sounded it means.

You thought you were coming the left coming here to present the left wing of the argument, wing side of the argument, but really, been really, youve just been radicalised. Was something in i knew there was something in that tea. There we go. Were yeah, there we go. Were going move on now the going to move on now to the front cover of thursdays telegraph. Steve warns not steve biden warns iran not to attack says attack israel, and it says president vows ironclad support for ally. As reports for ally. As source reports imminent assault likely ironclad. I mean, you could look at that ironclad and think, well, where was the ironclad when you were not using your veto for a motion in nato . In the un, rather, this is more worrying than the chinese fake stamps , isnt it . Stamps, isnt it . You know, iran getting involved with the middle east conflict here, but they already are, and they are. I always think we should in every single story, were every single story, when were talking gaza talking about the gaza situation, be reminded situation, we should be reminded that effectively a proxy situation, we should be reminded that because tively a proxy situation, we should be reminded thatbecause iranly a proxy situation, we should be reminded thatbecause iran are proxy situation, we should be reminded thatbecause iran are getting in war because iran are getting in on well, iran were behind the well, iran were behind the 7th october werent 7th of october attacks, werent they . Theyre doing the houthi and theyre doing the houthi thing. Youve got thing. And then youve also got the theres this the fact that theres this teaming up. We talked about this, last this this, i think, last week on this show north show with russia and iran, north korea if you korea and china, if you rearrange it and calling those the, the krinke nations. Yes. That because we do need to that works because we do need to keep an eye on this, theres a bit in there, though, where biden says that all we will do, all can protect israels all we to can protect israels security. Actually security. And that actually specifies defence, which might be how he tries to pull this off, not lose a certain part off, to not lose a certain part off, to not lose a certain part of his home audience. Well, i mean, theres a lot of his, voter base who are angry about this and they wont about this and saying they wont vote because of his vote for him because of his policies israel. He he policies on israel. So he he actually cant this actually cant win in this scenario. One actually cant win in this sce much one actually cant win in this sce much sympathy one actually cant win in this sce much sympathy for one actually cant win in this sce much sympathy for biden,1e for much sympathy for biden, but he nick, is a tricky he cant. Nick, this is a tricky one. Now, i should say this is off the back the airstrikes off the back of the airstrikes in syria, which killed the iranian but has iranian generals. But israel has not responsibility for iranian generals. But israel has not attack, responsibility for iranian generals. But israel has not attack, right . � |sibility for that attack, right . Yeah. And this thing i agree yeah. And this thing i agree with steve about this, this ironclad guarantee. Obviously, iran perceives biden as a bit weak on this. I mean, this whole thing has happened because people perceive the us as weak or perceive as weak or or not perceive him as weak or just observe him as just correctly observe him as well. Yeah, but you well. Yeah, exactly. But you know to say . Know what im going to say . Trump answer because it trump was the answer because it was all about deterrent. And was all about a deterrent. And none stuff would none of this stuff would have even now its even happened. But now its kicked now kicked off. I mean, now its kicked off. I mean, now its kicked off. I mean, now its kicked off. Course, i dont kicked off. Of course, i dont take of the neocons, take the sides of the neocons, who very much seem to who are very much they seem to be desperate for war with iran, which be world iii, which would be world war iii, when theres when they seem really theres a whole american right when they seem really theres a who the american right when they seem really theres a who the neoliberalnerican right when they seem really theres a who the neoliberal side an right when they seem really theres a who the neoliberal side that ght when they seem really theres a who seems oliberal side that ght when they seem really theres a who seems to eral side that ght when they seem really theres a who seems to want side that ght when they seem really theres a who seems to want war that ght when they seem really theres a who seems to want war with ght just seems to want war with iran. Yeah, that is strange, isnt it . That is sanders sort of side. Maybe not desantis. Maybe thats unfair. Definitely maybe not desantis. Maybe thats unfa neocon definitely maybe not desantis. Maybe thats unfa neocon side definitely maybe not desantis. Maybe thats unfa neocon side versusitely maybe not desantis. Maybe thats unfa neocon side versus the that neocon side versus the trump side that that neocon side versus the trumpjust, side that that neocon side versus the trumpjust, you side that that neocon side versus the trumpjust, you know,e that that neocon side versus the trumpjust, you know, carry would just, you know, carry a big stick. And none of this would have happened. But the region is just its been the of been precarious at the best of times long time. You times for a long, long time. You know, feels like its know, this feels like its edging something edging towards something very, very so lets hope gets resolved. And remember, time we and remember, last time we were on a show together, we i remember we were there remember we were sat there saying wont invade anywhere. We say that didnt we did say that didnt we . We both theres chance both agreed theres no chance that putin would invade ukraine. I knew they would. I knew they would. After. I didnt the day after. I didnt say it. But didnt have it. Yeah, but we didnt have your cassandra qualities. It. Yeah, but we didnt have youyou ssandra qualities. It. Yeah, but we didnt have youyou ssandri qualities. It. Yeah, but we didnt have youyou ssandri qthinkes. You know, i dont think i said either. Said it either. I didnt see no, i didnt see it. No, i didnt see it. Well, its kind of hard for us be perfect, to predict us to be perfect, to predict wars when really, we were originally comedians. Now were predicting exactly. Originally comedians. Now were predictireallyictly. Originally comedians. Now were predictireally unfair expect originally comedians. Now were predicup� ally unfair expect originally comedians. Now were predicup comedians expect originally comedians. Now were predicup comedians predict stand up comedians to predict wars. I dont think that should be. Okay, were be on our roster. Okay, were going to finally end this section star. Section with the daily star. Something a bit serious. Something a bit more serious. Nick. Something a bit more serious. Nicyeah, something a bit more serious. Nic yeah, this is something a bit more serious. Nicyeah, this is more my thing. Yeah, this is more my thing. Its a brouhaha, and its i its a brew brouhaha, and its i in 7 of although the in 7 of us. Although i use the word just word us advisedly, im just reading mitts saying reading it off it mitts saying saving few by reusing saving a few quid by reusing teabags. Weve out on the teabags. Weve dried out on the washing line. Really . Yeah, but you see, its a generational thing. Over now. No thing. Its over 55 now. No disrespect for them. They they were touch with war were more in touch with the war generation and rationing whereas so of them so a huge percentage of them well im saying is well 16 which im saying is huge women. Sorry. In i4 of huge of women. Sorry. In i4 of men are this. And 7 of men are doing this. And 7 of gen so you see younger people gen z. So you see younger people in disposable culture, theyre not doing it. And they did ask vouchercodes. Co. Uk. So im wondering one of these, wondering if its one of these, if the voucher demographic if its the voucher demographic with no disrespect, but if you ask who are using ask people who are already using ask people who are already using a vouchers , perhaps a lot of vouchers, perhaps theyre drying out teabags theyre also drying out teabags on a line. It doesnt work, and also it doesnt work, does once youve does it . Because once youve used bag, is not used a tea bag, the tea is not so strong or flavoursome. The subsequently. Well, yeah. And its well, yeah. And also its always raining. How are you always raining. So how are you drying tea in drying out these tea bags in england. Yeah. To ask you, steve, im going to ask you, steve, because you like the kind because you look like the kind of does this. Yeah. What of guy who does this. Yeah. What do i not right that do i mean . Am i not right that the quality of is the quality of the tea is impaired subsequent the quality of the tea is impai of subsequent the quality of the tea is impai of bag . Subsequent reuse of the bag . Indeed, definitely. Maybe indeed, definitely. So maybe you reuse more than one you need to reuse more than one so gather them up from the so you gather them up from the washing a couple in washing line. Yeah a couple in for that second cup. But if for that second cup. But even if youre just it looked youre just doing it i looked onune youre just doing it i looked online of online and little do a pack of 160 for pe. So 1. 6 per bag. 160 for 99 pe. So 1. 6 per bag. So each time dont use a new so each time you dont use a new bag youre saving 1. 6 pence, which means 12. 5 million of these. And youve bought yourself a 200 grand house. This. Yes. This is where chinas going to hit us next, by the way. Yeah, the tea and tea bags. Ive absolutely no doubt. Okay well, those are the front pages. But do join us later when were going to discussing were going to be discussing a Major Medical a plan to Major Medical scandal, a plan to get the get men back to work, and the number complaints number of vexatious complaints bothering scotland this bothering Police Scotland this week doozy welcome back to headliners. Its your first look at thursdays newspapers with me, andrew doyle and my comedian panel, Steve N Allen and nick dixon. The big dog. And were going to begin this section with thursdays daily nick, about daily mail. Nick, this is about the review. The cass review. Indeed. So children were indeed. So children were being coached on what to say to nhs doctors to get puberty blockers. Author of bombshell nhs doctors to get puberty blockeinto. Uthor of bombshell nhs doctors to get puberty blockeinto trans of bombshell nhs doctors to get puberty blockeinto trans care mbshell nhs doctors to get puberty blockeinto trans care reveals. Report into trans care reveals. As you say, its the final cass report. Doctor hilary cass. Its pretty damning. Its a scathing 400 page dossier into nhs gender care, and every single page just says glyn was right. Yeah, basically what i like about this stuff is theres always like a directors cut. You get these major bombshells and all of even worse and then all of this even worse stuff out, now its stuff comes out, and now its that people coaching kids. Yeah. They kids. Yeah. Kids. yeah. Yeah. And they were in many, many these were children many cases, these were children who had a history of physical or sexual abuse. Up to 1 in 5 children who attended gender services, and services, for example. Yes and theyre much instead of theyre very much instead of sort saying, can help sort of saying, how can we help this more like this person . Its more like gaming heres what gaming the system. Heres what you the you need to say to get the puberty blockers, which insane. P insane. Its amazing because i think its amazing because a the revelations, a lot of the cass revelations, a lot of the revelations weve seen recent years this seen in recent years about this stuff , shown lot of stuff, has shown that a lot of these require a therapeutic these kids require a therapeutic care because either theyve been abused internalised abused or they have internalised homophobia, theyre struggling with their sexuality. And this is suggesting that those things they were to them from they were told to keep them from they were told to keep them from the clinicians so that they could just rush through and get the drugs. Yeah and thats why i say glennon was right, because Graham Linehan kept our linehan and some people kept our heads. People people heads. People like you, people like this channel. Like me, hopefully this channel. But common but if you lost your common sense, to think, oh sense, you start to think, oh yeah, do this children yeah, we can do this to children. But i anyone who anyone who got that should be got lost in that should be ashamed. Ashamed. Premise, steve, of the whole premise, steve, of gender care, that gender affirming care, is that a child comes along and says, i think the wrong body, think im in the wrong body, and you are. Here are you say, yes, you are. Here are the drugs. Of course, thats the drugs. And of course, thats precisely mean, labour precisely i mean, the Labour Government , the labour, next government, the labour, the next Labour Government. And the current is actually current tory policy is actually to that therapeutic to ban that therapeutic approach. That approach. And they call that a ban trans conversion therapy. Approach. And they call that a ban surelyns conversion therapy. Approach. And they call that a ban surelyns cowith;ion therapy. Approach. And they call that a ban surelyns cowith;ion cass|py. But surely now with the cass review, we can sort of review, we can we can sort of get back to sort of just sensible Critical Thinking and say, medicalize kids say, lets not medicalize kids on a pseudo on the basis of a pseudo religious belief system in a gendered soul, at least separating out the word conversion therapy or the words conversion therapy or the words conversion therapy or the words conversion therapy and looking at it or having a conversation, the idea that if you cant even probe, if youre not allowed to ask questions. Before we get to that, though, i did like and this imagine a situation you imagine a situation where you say mention say to a child, dont mention the have you just the abuse, who have you just become . Thats insane. Become . Yeah, thats insane. Dont dont mention that or dont dont mention that youre your youre struggling with your sexuality. Even though the cass review over 80 review has shown that over 80 of referred to these of the kids referred to these services were either gay or bisexual, means, of bisexual, which means, of course, theyre just effectively fixing medical izing, sterilising gay kids. Yeah. So i didnt have time to read the whole 400 page report because im a slow reader, but theres its like a 70 point summary and recommendations and going through is incredibly through that, it is incredibly evenly handed. So its like evenly handed. So its not like you it and go, oh, this you can read it and go, oh, this is one side. Attributes is taken one side. It attributes blame the toxicity of the blame about the toxicity of the debate and how that shuts down things being have things like being able to have a conversation about it. And it even points out, well, through the the general the whole thing, the general theme no theme is if youve got no evidence, youve got evidence, dont act, youve got weak. Get more weak evidence. Get more evidence, dont proceed evidence, dont, dont proceed forwards sort of forwards without any sort of Actual Research or study into this. And that the well, this. And that is the well, thats the damning indictment left, right and centre. Had complete this was weve had a complete this was all there was no all an evidence. There was no scientific the notion all an evidence. There was no scia1tific the notion all an evidence. There was no scia gender the notion all an evidence. There was no scia gender identity1e notion all an evidence. There was no scia gender identity evertion all an evidence. There was no scia gender identity ever atn all an evidence. There was no scia gender identity ever at any of a gender identity ever at any point. But it did get toxic. Shes absolutely right. What worries that now a lot of worries me is that now a lot of people suggesting those people are suggesting that those of are sounding the alarm of us who are sounding the alarm and not, in fact, contributing that toxicity were an example of the toxicity because they they saw of disagreement, saw any kind of disagreement, i mean, obrien has mean, i think james obrien has suggested he was one of the ones who was trying to detoxify the debate. Thats hilarious coming from him. Yeah. Mean, appalling. I mean, thats appalling. I mean, yeah , to just say that if mean, yeah, to just say that if you if you had if you tried to sound the alarm about basically abusing children, youre part of the toxicity is disgusting. But people will do this. Theyll revise. Like revise. Theyll be like the lockdowns. I on lockdowns. Theyll say, i was on the right of this the whole the right side of this the whole time. Already bbc time. We already saw bbc newsnight other and newsnight the other night and maybe better than the maybe they were better than the rest mainstream media, rest of the mainstream media, but already saying, but theyre already saying, oh yeah, even bbc got yeah, you know, even the bbc got it but we got it right on it wrong, but we got it right on this people more this show. People are more and more not got more the bbc not only got it wrong, responsible for wrong, they were responsible for pushing the gender identity ideology to children in childrens programmes. To be look at there needs to be a look at the bbc in the way they behaved in of and likewise, in all of this. And likewise, i think there to be think there needs to be investigations stonewall, investigations into stonewall, mermaids, gendered intelligence, all have mermaids, gendered intelligence, all this have mermaids, gendered intelligence, all this anti gay ve pushed this toxic anti gay ideology, effectively ideology, which is effectively what ideology, which is effectively thwell, were looking at the well, were looking at the bbc. Will as someone bbc. I will say, as someone whos kids, they talk about whos got kids, they talk about diversity, but diversity, a lot. But on cbeebies, 41 everyone cbeebies, 41 of everyone you see bloke, see is just that bloke, justin, who those different characters. Dont know that now, i dont even know that reference, but youre the one with so would know with the kids, so you would know were going to move on to the daily now. Bad news for daily mail now. Bad news for ramona project. Fear, steve. Brexit britain becomes the worlds exporter, worlds fourth biggest exporter, overtaking france. Oh, the french overtaking the netherlands. Whichever ones they are overtaking, japan cant say some those words in a to blow some of those words in a to blow remainers who said that leaving the be disaster is the eu would be a disaster is a whiff of balance. If you want some balance, i mean it still could be a little bit of a not 100 success in all directions. We do have a passport fiasco happening and the trade deal with canada is coming to an end. The uk is likely slip down the uk is likely to slip down from fourth place position from this fourth place position because a reduction because weve seen a reduction of in the that were of 4. 4 in the sales that were talking about. However right now we beating french win, we are beating the french win, the part of this and this is actually true. This is a benefit. Itll seem like im being all snarky, but since 2016, the pounds been weaker. 2016, the pounds been weaker. It is a benefit in one direction that pure benefit , that it that is pure benefit, that it means what we sell is cheaper, more people buy it. Thats how more people buy it. Thats how we so well. Recent we do so well. The recent growth, has driven growth, though, has been driven by an increase in by apparently an increase in sales, money in sales, increase in money in professional , which i professional services, which i think is massages. The thing about this, i mean, the thing about this, though, steve, this isnt though, steve, is this isnt news. This a news. Weve known this for a while that all of while now that really all of these prognostications of utter doom, going reach doom, that were going to reach our result of our economy as a result of brexit come true. They brexit didnt come true. They didnt even the didnt manifest. Even the guardian this, you guardian has admitted this, you know, so we know that its not really ever to be the really ever going to be the case. Problem with with this really ever going to be the case. Of problem with with this really ever going to be the case. Of prlike m with with this really ever going to be the case. Of prlike you ith with this really ever going to be the case. Of prlike you say, ith this really ever going to be the case. Of prlike you say, this his kind of and like you say, this is one sided other is a bit one sided the other way. I brexit could have way. I mean brexit could have all sorts of advantages and disadvantages. Nick, isnt disadvantages. But nick, isnt it case most of the it the case that most of the disadvantages come about because weve kind of weve approached this as kind of damage than damage limitation, rather than going look, this going in and saying, look, this is great opportunity. Going in and saying, look, this is yeah, opportunity. Going in and saying, look, this is yeah, thatstunity. Going in and saying, look, this is yeah, thats the ty. Going in and saying, look, this is yeah, thats the tragedy of yeah, thats the tragedy of brexit. Farage and brexit. I mean, farage and people to get it. People did great work to get it. But then if you were to be but then if you were going to be a accusation would a bit if the accusation would be, do enough to then be, did we do enough to then make happen make it actually happen once, once we werent just once we once we werent just winning, it not enough. Winning, it was not enough. Yeah. About the yeah. And its all about the benefits of brexit, which havent but havent really happened. But this news. As steve this is some good news. As steve said, not good as said, its not maybe as good as you because its you think because when its updated, itll, you know, itll go if you adjust go down a bit. And if you adjust for it turns out we for inflation, it turns out we import and exported less than 2018. Its 2018. But at least its positive, i thought i thought for we suddenly for a second we suddenly manufacturing happened. For a second we suddenly maritzacturing happened. For a second we suddenly maritzac largely happened. For a second we suddenly maritzac largely financial pened. But it is largely financial and professional but it is largely financial and professi� turned a sort of, havent turned into a sort of, you know, a manufacturing powerhouse. Tertiary, powerhouse. Its still tertiary, but i mean, on the other hand, you know, i get a bit bored of all these articles about, oh, look, look, brexit is called look, oh look, brexit is called this economic this caused this Economic Disaster no brexit has been disaster or no brexit has been really the economy. Really good for the economy. No one voted on who cares. No one voted on the whether were the basis of whether we were going richer or poorer. We going to be richer or poorer. We voted on basis of can we voted it on the basis of can we have there are these bureaucrats in brussels who too much have there are these bureaucrats in bruover who too much have there are these bureaucrats in bruover whccountry, 0 much have there are these bureaucrats in bruover whccountry, andjch have there are these bureaucrats in bruover whccountry, and we power over our country, and we cant them out. Well, cant vote them out. Well, now theyre and thats theyre not involved. And thats great. Well, id really so result . Well, id really love is people were definitely thinking they thinking that before they voted. So they knew what they were voted. People voted. Im not saying people didnt they didnt know what they were voting then jacob voting for. But then even jacob rees be rees mogg said there would be some costs and long some short term costs and long term so new story term gains. So when a new story comes up and says, heres an example of short cost, example of a short term cost, why we have to deny why does why do we have to deny it . Not just yeah, it . Why not just go, yeah, thats not what thats okay, but thats not what the its not the newspapers do. Its not what what pundits i dont what pundits on tv do. I dont care way. Care either way. I voted the basis that i voted on the basis that laws govern this country laws that govern this country should made this country. Should be made in this country. Simple im a democrat simple as that. Im a democrat in of tony benn, and in the spirit of tony benn, and thats is. Anyway, lets thats all it is. Anyway, lets move it thats all it is. Anyway, lets move men it thats all it is. Anyway, lets move men dont it thats all it is. Anyway, lets move men dont get it thats all it is. Anyway, lets move men dont get the it thats all it is. Anyway, lets move men dont get the benefits seems men dont get the benefits of nick. Of working. Nick. So its slash benefits yeah, so its slash benefits to get more men into work. Imf urges and its stride again urges and its mel stride again as saying as we mentioned before saying hes do whatever it hes going to do whatever it takes get britain working. Takes to get britain working. And claiming while and hes claiming that while inactivity rate is lower than many economic heavyweights, including the usa, france and italy cuts and welfare italy, our tax cuts and welfare reforms grow. The labour reforms will grow. The labour force by 300,000 people, which i sort of believe when i see it , sort of believe when i see it, because what are these tax cuts . Ive them, but ive not noticed them, but apparently will. So its apparently they will. So its this theyre a this kind of theyre doing a sort carrot stick sort of carrot and stick approach that theyre to approach that theyre going to cut the part is cut taxes. But the stick part is the part. We the depression part. We mentioned earlier saying that thats you know, thats not real. And, you know, start working basically, yeah. Thats not real. And, you know, stathe orking basically, yeah. Thats not real. And, you know, stathe ideag basically, yeah. Thats not real. And, you know, stathe idea is3asically, yeah. Thats not real. And, you know, stathe idea is thatally, yeah. Thats not real. And, you know, stathe idea is that iny, yeah. Thats not real. And, you know, stathe idea is that in theeah. Thats not real. And, you know, stathe idea is that in the claim so the idea is that in the claim is that were actually competing better than we are, but the imf research is based on 38 oecd industrialised economies, and its basically saying , hey, we its basically saying, hey, we need to sort it out. Yeah. Whenever mel stride comes out to say something, im always braced because its normally thing , normally an unpopular thing, isnt what do you make of isnt it . What do you make of this, its interesting this, i think its interesting to at groups were to look at which groups were talking youve got the talking about. So youve got the tax but also getting talking about. So youve got the tax of but also getting talking about. So youve got the tax of cutting but also getting talking about. So youve got the tax of cutting benefits. Getting talking about. So youve got the tax of cutting benefits. And ng talking about. So youve got the tax of cutting benefits. And the rid of cutting benefits. And the urge to yeah , right. Urge is to go, yeah, right. Right. Two point noise. Wow. Oh. Benefits gary burley cut them. Benefits gary burley cut them.

Okay, lets move german words like that for which the now its od. Okay, lets move german words like that for which the now its the okay, lets move german words like that for which the now its the guardian,s move on. Now its the guardian, and it turns out humza yousaf was right. Scotland full hate. Right. Scotland is full of hate. Only hate crime well, only 3. 8 of hate crime law or authentic law complaints or authentic according to Police Scotland. Have anticipated who would have anticipated this . Thats quite high. We could that down 3 if jk could get that down to 3 if jk does few more tweets. So come on. Yeah, but basically the police implemented hate police implemented this hate speech they would speech law saying they would investigate every single complaint, investigate every single complof|t, investigate every single complof activists online investigate every single complooh, tivists online investigate every single complooh, were online investigate every single complooh, were going online saying, oh, were going to exploit and going to exploit this and were going to complain our complain about all our ideological opponents, including jk rowling and other people said, complain said, were going to complain about humza yousaf. And lo and behold, about humza yousaf. And lo and beiwhod thought . Yeah whod have thought . Yeah well, theres 7152 reports. Well, here theres 7152 reports. And dont worry, before you start complaining about what . About front line policing. Apparently its not impact. Is apparently its not impact. Is that a minimal impact on front line policing . It was dealt with by call handling centres and hate crime specialists. I mean, still taxpayer funded. So yeah, but you know why, steve . Because the police two months ago announced a strategy saying werent to any saying they werent going to any longer or longer investigate theft or vandalism, were vandalism, that they were unlikely a call handler unlikely to solve a call handler somewhere. Oh. Have you been robbed . Oh, never mind. But however, i do never mind. But however, i do want point that when want to point out that when snps adam accused jk snps karen adam accused jk rowling police time, snps karen adam accused jk rowlimust police time, snps karen adam accused jk rowlimust be police time, snps karen adam accused jk rowlimust be wrongolice time, snps karen adam accused jk rowlimust be wrong though he, snps karen adam accused jk rowlimust be wrong though with what must be wrong though with the tweets, she said that they were Wasting Police time or which one is it . Are you not . Are you wasting handlers are you wasting call handlers time you simply time or were you simply misinformed . Cant be on misinformed . You cant be on both that and it both sides of that fence and it is police are is the case that police are being time to deal being paid over time to deal with that has with the extra workload that has been well. Been revealed as well. All nonsense, so this is all nonsense, nick. I mean , it has been an nick. I mean, it has been an utter and the snp are utter farce and yet the snp are so bullish and bloody minded that doubt they will reflect that i doubt they will reflect and say, oh, we got that wrong. I feel like thats a bit loaded for the host and you should neutral maybe should be neutral and maybe you like, dont. Cant tell. Like, maybe dont. I cant tell. Love the snp. You i secretly love the snp. You see what im doing . Im devils advocating see what im doing . Im devils advicating see what im doing . Im devils advi know where you stand i know where you stand because that because you dismantled that barrister day. But barrister the other day. But the thing reporting, thing is, those reporting, yusuf, are legitimate yusuf, those are legitimate complaints that complaints because he made that speech that was full of anti white hatred. So those are within the penod so those are within the period the crime. Period of the hate crime. Thats a good point. And when quizzed it anyway, quizzed about it anyway, he said, thats just far said, oh, thats just the far right, the report of that. So if youre extreme racism, youre against extreme racism, youre against extreme racism, you far right. Youre against extreme racism, youoh far right. Youre against extreme racism, youoh yeah. Ght. Youre against extreme racism, youoh yeah. Weve that for age. Weve known that ages. Weve known that for ages. But yeah, this is funny but this yeah, this is funny because say, i mean, because as you say, i mean, its the apotheosis anarcho the very apotheosis of anarcho tyranny. It tyranny. Ive talked about it before, know, takes before, you know, it takes resources away from actual crimes them onto crimes and, and puts them onto fake and the funny thing fake crimes. And the funny thing is, on is, you had 3419 complaints on the then its to the 1st of april, then its to down 343 7th april. Now its between 30 and a day. So, so between 30 and 39 a day. So, so it unworkable to it goes from unworkable to pointless. Thats the range. Its incredible. And im guessing a lot of viewers werent expecting the phrase, the apotheosis of anarcho the very apotheosis of anarcho tyranny. Thats why they tune in, andrea. Thats they tune in. We thats why they tune in. We are news channel, are the cerebral news channel, he says. Apotheosis. Say ennui, apotheosis. I say ennui, yeah. Dont apotheosis. I say ennui, yeah. Dont know what yeah. So i dont know what it means, it feels kind means, but it feels like a kind of right. Of well, right. Thats where weve got well, thats where weve got time for in this section. But do join us in part some join us in part three for some advice big advice for rich people. Big news about trans care for about so called trans care for kids. Were going to take a look at icon rishi see at style icon rishi sunak. See you welcome back to headliners, your first look at thursdays newspapers. Im still andrew doyle. Im were here with Steve N Allen and the big dog, nick dixon. Were going to start this section with thursdays telegraph. Advice for telegraph. Nick, some advice for the rich. Yes. Get of the rich. Yes. Get out of britain while you can. Rich told wont you still can. Rich told wont affect me. Luckily, they sound like but like peter hitchens, but to anyone. Like peter hitchens, but to anyone. But he would say to anyone. But he would say to anyone. But he would say to anyone. Its to the anyone. But now its to the rich. So its the non doms again. We so much about again. We heard so much about them was all richs them when it was all the richs wife. And the is labour wife. And the point is labour and reeves specifically and Rachel Reeves specifically are saying theyre going to crack down and theyre going to get loads of money, raise 430 million just removing get loads of money, raise 430 milinon dom just removing get loads of money, raise 430 milinon dom exemption. 1oving get loads of money, raise 430 milinon dom exemption. Whati the non dom exemption. What a great idea. I cant see any flaw to that, except, course, that to that, except, of course, that theyll the country. Theyll all leave the country. Obviously, these dont obviously, these things dont work. Rent controls or work. Its like rent controls or minimum these minimum wage or socialism. These ideas theyll ideas dont work, so theyll just. They gave an example just leave. They gave an example here, someone paying 13 million of Capital Gains of income tax and Capital Gains a this is the point. A year. This is the point. Theyre still paying huge amounts just its that they amounts just its just that they get foreign earnings. They get their foreign earnings. They dont while the uk. Does happen nick though . Does it happen nick though . I mean just historically, mean just just historically, is it whenever it the case that whenever theres like a hike in tax theres been like a hike in tax for the super rich, that they do just run off . Well , and just run off . Well, and im worried this is a trick question. Youve got like loads of data on the fact they actually dont. Well no, just i havent well no, i just i havent seen evidence that they do. Seen the evidence that they do. I is my point. Seen the evidence that they do. I but is my point. Seen the evidence that they do. I but im; my point. Seen the evidence that they do. I but im scepticalt. Seen the evidence that they do. I but im sceptical that labour but im sceptical that labour is to the rich. Just is just going to the rich. Just wont im a layman, wont react. Im just a layman, andrew, but the rich always seem to end up not paying andrew, but the rich always seem to tax. D up not paying that much tax. Just always find its just i always find a way, dont they. But still pay yeah, but they still pay their, know. But the point their, you know. But the point is still us quite a lot is they still pay us quite a lot and they i just doubt that labour cracked just as labour have cracked it. Just as you doubt they leave. Im you doubt that they leave. Im doubting labour has doubting that labour has suddenly cracked the secret to getting millions. And the other thing quickly thing id just like to quickly say theres this four say is that theres this four year you come in, youve year limit. You come in, youve got for four years got a tax break for four years and then you lose it. Well, thats just encouraging people to years, to leave after four years, which is do you is even worse. What do you think, is even worse. What do you thirwell, my question if well, answer my question if you can. Is it the case that rich people leave, that they rich people do leave, that they have of running away . Have a history of running away . Know, dont that you know, i dont have that data. But then weve never successfully to tax the successfully managed to tax the rich. So actually, maybe that data doesnt exist. And it doesnt rule you doesnt matter what rule you bnng doesnt matter what rule you bring will find bring in, the rich will find some way to be like, you know, batman backflips and avoid batman doing backflips and avoid it. But they like being in but dont they like being in the in the uk . I mean, yeah, and theyll find a way. If they loved so well, if they loved it so much here. Much youd actually live here. But efficient to but its more tax efficient to have status still but its more tax efficient to hav to status still but its more tax efficient to hav to live status still but its more tax efficient to hav to live here. ;tatus still but its more tax efficient to hav to live here. So us still but its more tax efficient to hav to live here. So you still but its more tax efficient to havto live here. So you paytill get to live here. So you pay some tax here, some of the other tax. If owned businesses tax. If i owned businesses abroad, have to pay tax on abroad, id have to pay tax on it, im not enough it, because im not rich enough to able faff around with to be able to faff around with my, my, you need clever my, my, you need a clever accountant. Afford accountant. Yeah. I cant afford those. Do think its worth those. But i do think its worth mentioning. Probably mentioning. Theres probably some having system mentioning. Theres probably somyis having system mentioning. Theres probably somyis perceivediving system mentioning. Theres probably somyis perceived as|g system mentioning. Theres probably somyis perceived as fair system that is perceived as fair because you go to work, you pay more percentage of your more as a percentage of your income at income than rishi pays. And at that you think, that moment when you think, well, aint fair, and well, this aint fair, and the government rich government goes, yeah, rich people, going people, are you going to do a nana . It annoys me as worker. Nana . It annoys me as a worker. So actually probably so actually theres probably some you some im not sure how you calculate it, thered be calculate it, but thered be some could put on some value you could put on having a system that is perceived as fair by the majority of people. Perceived as fair by the ma yeah, f people. Perceived as fair by the ma yeah, theresle. Perceived as fair by the ma yeah, theres something in yeah, theres something in that. Course, im that. And also, of course, im against i want immigration to be very id rather of very low, but id rather sort of get violent people get rid of the violent people who pay loads of money who dont pay loads of money into tax.

Something a school of thought. And i mean, it makes it sound like obscure of like some obscure branch of libertarianism like some obscure branch of libejustanism like some obscure branch of libejust them like some obscure branch of libejust the case, isnt it, its just the case, isnt it, that this was a terrible abuse of and its now pretty that this was a terrible abuse of fact .
