Were to absolutely right. So were to going have a quick run through of mondays front before of mondays front covers before we daily mail. We begin the daily mail. Leading with merciless with pawns of merciless terrorists. Most of the front terrorists. Most of the front covers will, of course, be covering the situation in israel. Telegraph has us sends warships and jets to help israel. The guardian violence escalates as death toll surges to over 1000 and the times is running with stunned israel goes to war. The news fears grow for 100 hostages. And finally , the 100 hostages. And finally, the Financial Times. Israel at war after deadly hamas attack. Those were mondays front pages. So were mondays front pages. So obviously very horrific news coming out of israel and theyre all covering it. Were going to start with the times. How are they reporting on this situation, nick . Well, the times has stunned israel goes to war and theyre covering the key parts that britain amongst more than a thousand dead. Theyre referring to nathaniel young, whos tragically and theres nathaniel young, whos tragijake and theres nathaniel young, whos tragijake marlow, d theres nathaniel young, whos tragijake marlow, a theres nathaniel young, whos tragijake marlow, a british also jake marlow, a british person feared kidnapped. Person who is feared kidnapped. And sunak has offered intelligence and military aid and us warships have moved closer to and theyre saying at least 700 israelis have died. So its obviously horrific. Someone its obviously horrific. Someone just referred to it as a sort of new 9 11 there, which it does it does feel like that, doesnt it . Yeah. And its fascinating. We get the story on x now, formerly twitter way wouldnt twitter in a way we wouldnt have we really its have before. So we really its horrific. But we sort of see the real story. Interesting, thats very interesting, isnt these. Isnt it . Is that these. Absolutely. Its impossible to watch videos watch some of these videos that are israel. And are coming out of israel. And but being updated but but were being updated just continually whats going continually about whats going on there , which i suppose on over there, which i suppose is important. We need to know whats going this is whats going on. This is described as their 911, and i think thats right, because its specifically young specifically targeting young civilians. I mean, there can be no justification for anything like this. Cant say jokes on this one. No, no, absolutely not. The only would say is its only thing i would say is its forming our opinion. So just to give a more balanced view, we dont know exactly whats going on with regards to the pricing because the palestinians seem to have done something thats instigated a war. And itjust done something thats instigated a war. And it just seems done something thats instigated a war. And itjust seems like an a war. And it just seems like an odd a war. And it just seems like an odcyeah, i mean, its yeah, well, i mean, its terrorist lets be terrorist activity, lets be honest. Thats what thats what it know, dont think it is. You know, i dont think theres around it. Were theres any way around it. Were going go on to front going to go on to the front cover of mondays telegraph. Going to go on to the front cowtheyrelondays telegraph. Going to go on to the front cowtheyre obviouslyelegraph. Going to go on to the front cowtheyre obviously also aph. So theyre obviously also leading with the israel story. Theres a couple of other stories on this front cover. Its worth looking at. Theyve got border yeah, theyve got Border Force Staff flaunt pride , force staff flaunt pride, epilepsy. And this is kind of kicking on x at the moment. Kicking off on x at the moment. So the home Office Policy seems to Suella Braverman to ignore Suella Braverman concerns a suella concerns and we do a Suella Braverman concerns ignored braverman is concerns ignored story every night . Well, they are ignored. Theyre are routinely ignored. Theyre all so what all ignored. And so what happenedis all ignored. And so what happened is on september 29th, 40, Home Office Officials participated in an online discussion of lgbt issues in which a transgender border force official based at Gatwick Airport told Civil Servants that wearing pride, epaulettes is wait for both welcoming and wait for it both welcoming and a little you may have little warning that you may have your but were not your prejudices, but were not going them. And they going to tolerate them. And they later about were an later talk about were an Inclusive Department and Inclusive Department and inclusive whatever you inclusive country, whatever you happen so its happen to think. So its an inclusive andrew look, inclusive warning. Andrew look, this is my favourite type of warning. So my understanding is that policy, so that the home Office Policy, so you have to be you cant you have to be impartial, . Impartial, right . Point is that and bravermans point is that if pride epaulettes if you wear the pride epaulettes , you are violating that impartiality. Is a fair impartiality. Is that a fair point . Victor, think its point . Victor, i think its a fair point. And as well, its like what message we sending to people message are we sending to people coming the uk that have message are we sending to people corarmy the uk that have message are we sending to people corarmy gay� uk that have message are we sending to people corarmy gay� uk thathat have message are we sending to people corarmy gay� uk thathat might an army of gay people that might strip searches think strip searches . I think its a well, you know what, alexander the great was, was a was a gay military leader and he did pretty well. Pretty well. So maybe we need to frighten them. The spartans. Im scared. Them. The spartans. Im scared. There we go. It does impartiality in it does put impartiality in jeopardy. The person jeopardy. I mean, the person here said, two here continued and said, oh, two mormon missionaries had a problem with me and they were staying soho that made staying in soho and that made him person smile. Its him that person smile. Its like, one, prefer like, well, one, they prefer Church Jesus Christ of latter church of jesus christ of latter day saints. Anyway, it day saints. But anyway, it suggests its an suggests a set of its an ideology meeting you at ideology were meeting you at the with an ideology and the border with an ideology and a very strange. Will a warning. Very strange. Will they to wear sort of they be allowed to wear sort of like images of, i dont know, they be allowed to wear sort of like guevara jf, i dont know, they be allowed to wear sort of like guevara ori dont know, they be allowed to wear sort of like guevara or somethingw, they be allowed to wear sort of like guevara or something or che guevara or something or probably that one. You picked a bad example because , yes, they bad example because, yes, they would allowed that probably, bad example because, yes, they wouthey allowed that probably, bad example because, yes, they wouthey allowed be|t probably, bad example because, yes, they wouthey allowed be allowed ly, but they wouldnt be allowed something a cross. Something else like a cross. Thats a good question, actually. They a actually. Could they have a cross . Actually. Could they have a croscould have something could they have something that of that promotes a sort of ideological do ideological worldview . I do wonder sort stuff, wonder with this sort of stuff, when pride flag, when it comes to the pride flag, i lot of people dont i think a lot of people dont understand what it means. You know, pride flag was know, the old pride flag was a rainbow which all rainbow flag, which was all about and inclusion about unity and inclusion and all it. The new all the rest of it. The new progress which has progress pride flag, which has black stripes, brown stripes, blue pink red blue stripes, pink stripes, red circles people, all circles for intersex people, all this lot gay people this stuff. A lot of gay people hate they consider this hate this and they consider this to be quite anti gay. A lot of women it to be quite women consider it to be quite misogynistic. So much a misogynistic. So much so its a bit of minefield, right . Yeah. Bit of a minefield, right . Yeah. So maybe maybe they think so maybe maybe they should think more go more about it before they go through with it. No, but andrew, theyre right. The right. And their views are the only ones. Only moral ones. Correct . Yeah, was that correct . Yeah, i forgot about that. Key. Yeah, thats key. Yeah, thats key. Its important that we yeah, its important that we remember that. Okay, were going to now the i the to move on now to the i the i news. The. I has story news. What the.

Yes this is labour rules out announcing any more tax rises before next election. Election. Yeah, you called it reeves any tax, further tax rises . Well, thats a good thing, isnt it . I think it is a good thing, but only problem is, does it matter because youre going to freeze on taxes , but to freeze on taxes, but Everything Else is going up. So its what does yes. So its like, what does it matter anymore . Its also i mean, this kind of gesture will obviously be a vote winner. I guess thats what theyre trying there. But theyre trying to do there.
