Plenty more to come over the next hour with headliners. In the meantime, you can sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the code on your screen, or go to gb news. Common alerts. Hello and welcome to headliners. Im Stephen Allen , headliners. Im Stephen Allen, taking you through tomorrows top stories for the next hour. Im joined by the face that launched a thousand ships. Cressida wetton and a face that sank a few vodkas. Bruce devlin , sank a few vodkas. Bruce devlin, its jen, is it jen. 7 yeah, i cant tell. It looks the same. It looks the same. Margin seems believable. I also hear thats what you actually did. As much as that was a joke. Last night was a big one, ive seen baker. I went home at sensible oclock and this one went out to have an altercation with a drag queen because he was giving unsolicited makeup advice. Unsolicited makeup advice. Thats true. Actually, yes, but no, it was. We were both in leeds for a gig, and actually it marks our First Anniversary of us being colleagues, playmates and husband and wife. Oh, congratulations. Congratulations. I have a lot in common. We do taste in men. Yes all right, lets crack on, then. Lets take a quick look at sundays front pages. We start with the mail on sunday. Just what the doctor ordered. Poll boost for charles. The sunday telegraph says labour wins in West Midlands and london. The observer goes with starmer beaten sunak should end purgatory of zombie rule. The express says were doomed lame duck pm loses tory stronghold. The sunday mirror says andrews ruin and the daily star sunday ghostly old bloke vanishes through brick wall. Probably finding a story about doors there. And those will be front pages. All right, lets find out more. Cressida, what are the observer leading with. 7 they are leading with starmer beaten. Sunak should end purgatory of zombie rule. Its calling him a zombie rule. Its calling him a zombie now. So because of. Well, because of the mayoral elections and the local elections , starmer and the local elections, starmer is saying, mate, come on, on your bike, its time to go. Sadiq khan saying the same thing. Our continuing mayor of london, whos whos done very well in the mayoral elections, theyre all saying, come on, this points to the fact that youre on your way out, mr sunak, which of course we know, when do you think he will call it the general election. It the general election. So he so far promised second half of this year. Right so not lasting all the way through to next january, which is an option okay. And were not were getting there arent we. I mean a couple of months. Well we are but i mean its i dont believe anything. I mean it could be then it might not be, its got to happen before it has got to happen. Its got to happen. Exactly it feels like were already talking about it all the time. So we wouldnt be talking about it if we just called the darn thing. No. What will we do, so, yeah, theyve done terribly. The yeah, theyve done terribly. The tories, theyve come third in most of most of the stuff that they could come anywhere in. And particularly in london. Theres a lot of talk about sadiq khans even saying now he might go into national politics. Or rather, hes not saying he wont, which is the same thing, isnt it. 7 yeah but hes, hes hes done very, very well. Hes got over about 1. 1 million votes, and thats fantastic. Its unprecedented. Its not what people expected, hall came in with about 800,000. So this there was a brief flash of, oh, other conservatives are going to get in. No, they absolutely arent. Arent. Bruce. Was that because of how popular sadiq khan is or how susan hall, who is the most common phrase people have said about him. 7 about him . Yes. I wasnt familiar with susan either, in all honesty, and theres a lot of susans on the internet at the moment, so you dont even know if shes a real person. However, he did win was over 250,000 votes over her. Yeah but the funny thing is, so many people love him and then so many people love him and then so many people love him and then so many people hate him. Im obviously im not in london all the time, so he doesnt really bother me, if you see what i mean. And i would stand and have a drink with him and all that kind of thing. You know, im not against, but, he does seem popular for the vast majority of people. Well, it wasnt a great turnout, so it is 44, but it never is. Well, no. Okay, so. Never is. Well, no. Okay, so. And i dont imagine that the police are thrilled. I mean , if police are thrilled. I mean, if i was a policeman, id be thinking, oh, no, ive got the same boss, yeah, i suppose. Yeah. Although how bad crime was on the London Underground that her oyster card was nicked, which doesnt even seem like bad crime, but then it turns out it just fell out of a pocket and they returned it. Do people still have oyster cards . Well, i just shoot with my phone. Well, thats. Thats why you might have stood a better chance of in of receiving more votes in londons elections. Londons mayoral elections. Thats very unfortunate, though, it . Because she though, isnt it . Because she was like crimes was right. Its not like crimes not a problem. Yeah, its just a really bad go to example of all the crime thats happening in london. I lost my oyster card was the worst one to pick. Yeah, exactly. With watch theft and knife crime and all this kind of stuff and a bit of plastic. And suddenly now shes screaming and. Yeah. And the other thing i did want to mention about this is that the labour has not had an absolute stonker in all directions. Its lost some of the votes in some Council Elections because of its stance on gaza. Yeah. And i do think its worth saying that if you are thinking i wont vote for labourin are thinking i wont vote for labour in like South Normanton council because its position on gaza might impact anything, i dont think netanyahus thinking, oh, theres a labour councillor somewhere in the middle part of that. England. What are they saying about it . Just seems the worst reason to not vote for a local council. Not vote for a local council. Well, its very important to the people. Its important to though, isnt it . So that a councillor cant impact anything . No, but its i mean, its an emotional thing, isnt it . Voting, no. Its fair. Yes, its a fair point, but but for the people, it matters to. I the people, it matters to. I mean, god sees you vote, doesnt he . I dont trust these emotions you speak of. Right. Whats on the front cover of the mail on sunday, bruce . Well, this is to do with king charles being back to, i think, almost full health. Hes recovering from the cancer, and people are delighted to see him out and about and all that kind of thing. And i think a lot of people have a lot of good feeling and a lot of faith in our current reigning monarch, we were discussing that earlier with nana and, and yeah, he seems he does. The majority of people seem to really, really like him. And its really interesting as well, because when he wasnt available, we had queen camilla, which is obviously a phrase that i dont think anyone would have thought we would have said 20 odd years ago or whatever. And i think it is brilliant, whether youre a monarchist or not, that hes brought so much attention to male cancer. Not that anyone is more important than others, but as i said earlier, with regard to guys going and getting themselves checked or going to themselves checked or going to the doctor and all that kind of stuff, i think hes done a really great pr job. Yeah. And i mean, your take on this as well, he certainly seems to have people behind him, even if theyre not particularly monarchists. Everyone, everyone roots for the guy. You think its him that theyre into. I think with this story that hes won people over, i suppose so. 50. So. I mean , i still hear the i mean, i still hear the queen and go, what . I thought shed died. Oh, you mean her . You mean her . Its going to take me a long time to get over that, i dont know. I dont think hes especially charismatic. Hes not our sexiest royal, is he, are any of them . Well no, i say that. Well, no. All right. I say that. Well, no. All right. Fair point. All right. Do you know i do like her mother. Ive met her. Ive said that before on this channel. Ive met Princess Anne a couple of times. She is good fun. Im not necessarily sure shes sexy, but shes good fun. No, i can still feel the vibrations of that name dropping and hitting the floor. Oh, hes met a royal. Oh, we got that. We felt it. Felt it. Good for charles is what i think. Yeah. Continue to cover it. Its not something im very passionate about myself. He wouldnt be my first. I think kates far more interesting. Far kates far more interesting. Far more fun. Like her outfits. Yeah. Okay well, nice. Charlotte, to the cover of the sunday mirror, please. Cressida, what have you got for us . Weve got andrews ruin so prince could be evicted over the crumbling state of royal lodge. And theres a picture here with all the shabby chic paintwork. I mean, if it was in, i dont know, the south of france or tuscany or something, it would be cool, wouldnt it . Itd be kind of like ageing gracefully. But its not. Its here. Its just the rain and the frost. And hes not taking care of it. So what does this mean . Is he depressed . I mean, hes got all the reasons to be. Its a bit painful to me as somebody trying to buy my first home, i think. Come on, look after it. Look after it. Are you looking to get a mortgage on a crumbling cottage . I wouldnt say no to anything right now, bruce. Okay. Thats fine. We have until 12, isnt it . Something like a 30 room mansion . Mansion . Yeah. No, its a big yes. Yeah. No, its a big yes. Well, the little. Yes. Theyre showing you the crumbling corner here. And then they gave you the overview there and its. So you try doing the upkeep on it because i know youve not bought your place yet, but a two bedroom place is absolutely non stop. Well 30 bedroom. Youre talking to somebody that has painted a whole narrowboat several years running. But no, youre right, its a lot. Its clearly a lot to wide boat. And then come back. It feels like you pick the easier boat to paint. Oh god. Of all the books. Oh yeah. It is a bit of a slap in the face, i suppose that, you know, you, the royals can manage to fail into luxury. To fail into luxury. What do you mean . What do you mean . Well, hes not top of his game at being a royal, but still managed to get a 30. Hes not only top of his game at being a human being. Yeah. Yeah. And still gets a 30 bedroom mansion. Exactly. Thats the thing. And i remember in a french and saunders sketch they said they cannot forgive. Is it sonning fork or Something Like that . The folly that is south park, the attributed to the dallas mansion and all that kind of stuff. Because that was a gift from the queen for him and yorkie fergie. Queen for him and yorkie fergie. Fergie. Fergie. Yeah. No, i dont have the same royal connections as you. Yeah, i met her twice. Yeah, i met her twice. Relax. Relax. Oh, now its twice. Is it . Oh, now its twice. Is it . Look at another third, finally, bruce, the cover of the daily star sunday, please. Yes, i this is pop star gary numan , who was famous for being numan, who was famous for being in his car at some point and said he was on the tube and a 1940s, bloke, came through a wall. Im not a euphemism. It was more of an apparition, that kind of thing, but then it does make you think if youre seeing things on the tube had you been out the night before . Yeah. And hes a musician , so yeah. And hes a musician, so we shouldnt trust anything any of them say, because theyve all been doing it. Thats right. We know what theyre like. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, im just saying im going to eat. One point of data would be listen to anything that the beatles came up with, and you wouldnt let them drive so well. Theres that. Theres that. Theres that. Yeah. Musicians. Yeah. Musicians. Im fascinated that gary numan is getting on the tube because he should be in his car. This is against the brand. This is against the brand. But then maybe thats to do with the ulez stuff to do with sadiq and all that kind of thing. So thats maybe brought it back to that. I dont know, very nice loops back perfectly. Well, thats the front pages deau well, thats the front pages dealt with. But coming up, if you dont know, the winner of the london mayoral election, im sure that will be mentioned again at some stage. Looks like someone else could be making their way back into politics, saying that its the end for next. Welcome back to headliners. Im Stephen Allen, here with chris de wet and bruce devlin. Bruce the express nigel farage says reform could take the conservative vote. Just the one that well get, but still just just the whole one. Its quite a bold claim. Yes, he was saying reform uk, uk could take almost a whole conservative vote, whether thats 100,000 at the next general election, according to mr farage. He told this very channel he could not rule out an unprecedented swing from the tories to reform. What do we think . I dont think its likely this time around. I dont think hes got much time. But in the future. Yeah, definitely. I mean farage has got previous on this. Farage has got previous on this. Hes a very influential gentleman. You know, one of the most impactful politicians, even without winning an election to do it, other than the european stuff. Well, he exactly he certainly is. I think there was a thing, the story thats really interesting. Hes getting across the message. Its not like the conservatives will win anyway. So feel free to vote for reform. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. Because i think there is that worry. And its a very good point that reform will be pulling votes away from the conservatives. But hes saying like well go on, go for it. Theyre going to lose anyway. But then what happened to him in ukip that just seems to have died down. Its like, you know what happened. I dont know if youre familiar with brexit, but the result was what nigel wanted. Yeah. No, i know some stuff. Thank you. Then fine. Other stuff. Blah blah blah. And then were here blah blah. And then were here today, right . Okay. Okay. But youre right. Thats exactly what i think. Thats what hes saying. And also hes i mean, hes making this ridiculous. Sorry, nigel. I think its ridiculous. The way politics is changing so quickly. I wouldnt rule it out. I would i wouldnt rule it out. I would rule it out that this is going to be the one. But in the future , who knows . So do you think this is a bit like people are an electric cars . Theyre like, ive got one more combustible engine in me before the infrastructure is up to speed, and then im going to vote reform i think you just said that we didnt have enough green stuff, so i thought id pull that out. Maybe. Maybe. I remember hes been saying for ages, its going to get a lot worse before it gets better. So this impression. So this impression. Well, ive heard him a lot, so thats what i think. Hes. I think hes saying what youre saying. Yes go for it, because youre not going to do any damage, but also in the future. Ill be back. Its not just about not doing any damage. Its about actually doing damage. But to your team as well. Yes. Yeah, exactly what we need is to try and get rid of the tories. I didnt try to go. You did it. Im trying to copy yours in the middle and down at the end. What . I didnt understand in this whole thing that i read was Lorraine Kelly jokes about ben shepherds naughty bits. That is poor editing, right . That is poor editing, right . Okay. Sorry. Okay. Sorry. Okay. Sorry. That really threw me. And i had to reread that a couple of times and i thought, i, you know, i like lorraine. Im sure shes not focused on that kind of thing, actually, where they got the title reform from is it changes. Well, but anyway, cressida to the observer, Asylum Seekers fear being sent to rwanda because its unsafe, not the country, but flying there on a boeing plane. They hear a bang at the door andifs they hear a bang at the door and its the home office. Threat of being disappeared haunts Asylum Seekers amid rwanda crackdown. Now that phrase disappeared. Thats not i mean disappeared. Thats not i mean this is the observer. So its sort of thats the tone you would expect. But to me, being disappeared means youre in argentina and you get thrown out of a plane, drugged at night, never to be seen again. And thats as unsafe as some people think rwanda is. That is not whats going to happen to these people. So really, this is an article, its kind of like the story we did recently about the bus not being able to leave peckham with the Asylum Seekers on it, but its like, told from the other side. So its almost the other side. So its almost like the way they do a drama and sort of flip it. And now youre coming from the other side of them. We did the other day where we just covered what happened in terms of protesters stopping, this was the bus going to the bp barge, yes. Yeah, exactly, but barge, yes. Yeah, exactly, but this is also covering more generally what happens to Asylum Seekers. So what the article is saying is that its describing the experience of somebody, if youre an asylum seeker, youve got to regularly check in with the home office to get your, to show that youre legit. And so show that youre legit. And so they know where you are and to ge
