So were going to start witiand daily mail. Cover. So were going to start witiand running ail. Cover. So were going to start witiand running with and theyre running with shapps backs spending our shapps backs spending 3 on our defence. Telegraph has gove to identify groups as identify muslim groups as extremists. The guardian identify muslim groups as extremists. The Guardian Diane abbott is accusing the tories of playing the race card as the hester row intensifies. If you want to know what that is, stick around. Were going to be talking about that. The express migrant to rwanda migrant flight plans to rwanda in and the i tory in good place and the i tory reliance on race row major donor revealed and the daily star. Theyre making a new titanic. Theyre making a new titanic. What could possibly go wrong . Those are front pages. All. Those are your front pages. All. Right. Were going to begin with thursdays guardian. Steve has got the details. Its the story that keeps on giving. They go with abbott accuses tories of playing race card as hester row intensifies. So accuses the conservatives so she accuses the conservatives of playing the race card on the way into the general election. This is effectively saying stoking the culture war, because that will some help them. That will in some way help them. But story is just amazing. But this story is just amazing. There are so many layers. Well, whos hester . For a start, hester the person said hester is the person who said diane abbott is bad she makes diane abbott is so bad she makes you hate all black women. This is frank hester, whos a donor to the tory party, a major donor to the tory party, a major donor to 21 of their budget comes from him. Right, £10 million. But dont worry, hes but dont worry, because hes he owns thats received owns a company thats received hundreds of millions of pounds worth of contracts from the nhs. Theres a little, little cycle. So our money goes to the nhs that then goes to him. He gives 10 billion, a million of it to the 1 back. That makes the tories, 1 back. That makes sure they in charge so sure that they stay in charge so they can keep this cycle going with all of this kind of stuff. You always slightly you know, im always slightly hesitant because that hesitant because i know that things can be taken out of context. That things are context. I know that things are sometimes in jest sometimes saying said in jest and and its and you dont, and its misreported. That how you misreported. Is that how you defend that defend yourself . That is how i defend yourself . That is how i defend myself. And it works very well now. But but reading well up to now. But but reading the quotation, just the full quotation, i just i mean, looks bad. This is mean, this looks bad. This is this indefensible. This looks indefensible. It sounds it sounds terrible when you read it out on crowded bus too. Out loud on a crowded bus too. Did try to do just on did you try to do that just on the here, scott . I mean, the way here, scott . I mean, come would you come on. I mean, what would you in situation . So the tories in this situation . So the tories have million this have had 10 million from this guy and then theyve said they would another 10 million would take another 10 million if he i mean at he offered it. Yeah. I mean at what do you say actually what point do you say actually the it if the money isnt worth it if someones going to say this kind of thing . Of vile thing . Its much of vile thing . Its well, its so much a part of their skate on their budget and they skate on such financially that such thin ice financially that they need his help, and they really need his help, and theyre coming close to an election. Of theyll election. So of course theyll take they can get. Mean, is it the i mean, i mean, is it the i mean, there must be the case if when he said that should he said that she should be shot, that shocked. That i was so shocked. Really took aback. That really took me aback. I mean, theres racism mean, of course theres racism andifs mean, of course theres racism and its horrible, but because two mps have died, its like, why is he saying now . Why is he saying this now . It just feels yeah, i mean, it just feels wrong. Thing wrong. But you know, the thing is, be all is, steve, there must be all sorts situations sorts of situations where political political political donors to Political Parties exactly morally political donors to political partiiand exactly morally political donors to political partiiand im exactly morally political donors to political partiiand im sure ictly morally political donors to political partiiand im sure we morally political donors to political partiiand im sure we mcthat pure and im sure we get that across the board. And at what point do people say they need to pass this test we take pass this test before we take the is it possible . Its the money . Is it possible . Its what asking, on an ethical what im asking, on an ethical level, this kind level, to separate this kind of thing the receiving thing from the receiving the money, not when its 10 million. I less, then i think if it were less, then theyd be like, oh, they dont really dont want this association. But 10 million is a bit much. This is why, he rishi doesnt want to open the floodgates because if floodgates on this because if they give back they go, okay, well give back they go, okay, well give back the million. Then the the 10 million. Then all the journalists for journalists are going to do for the is look at the next fortnight is look at who lot of money and who gives a lot of money and things theyve said before and then about this . Then go, what about this . And i promise you theyll stuff. Promise you theyll find stuff. Oh thing. Oh yeah, thats the thing. A lot of celebrities give and a lot of celebrities give money that we dont even know about. Anonymously. About. Yeah, anonymously. And in the a lot money the us they give a lot of money to, writers, directors, actors that people dont want to be involved its how that people dont want to be involkeep its how that people dont want to be involkeep their its how that people dont want to be involkeep their power. Its how that people dont want to be involkeep their power. Yeah. Iow that people dont want to be involkeep their power. Yeah. Is they keep their power. Yeah. Is their finance. Absolutely. Okay, yeah. Absolutely. Okay, well, were the were going to move on to the front thursdays mail. Front of thursdays daily mail. Scott. They are leading with a different story. Shapps back 3 on shapps back spending 3 on our the ministers our defence. The ministers called a cash boost called for a cash boost for a more dangerous world. Really . He he he used Vladimir Putin as an example saying, they need a bigger budget. You need a bigger budget to defend yourself from Vladimir Putin. Yes. Because our military has been shrinking and has been shrinking and our navy has been shrinking and our navy has been and a lot of been shrinking. And a lot of people we need have people said that we need to have a than we a stronger defence than we currently a stronger defence than we curii ntly a stronger defence than we curii wonder defend i wonder who to defend yourself from, though, because polands their polands they spend 4 of their gdp , scandinavian countries. Gdp, scandinavian countries. Sweden spends a lot, finland spends a lot. They have quite a large air force, 38,000 next doon large air force, 38,000 next door. They are. But thats why. But this is why putin wants to invade that border with finland. He wants the property, but he also is terrified at finlands military. He knows how powerful they are. Thats why he didnt. He didnt want finland to join nato. He tried to stop yes. Nato. He tried to stop it. Yes. And hes he tried to stop and hes tried. He tried to stop sweden as well. But i think that the you build your the more you build your military, may discourage military, it may not discourage putin. Opposite putin. It may have the opposite effect. Of effect. Israel spends 4. 5 of their on their military and their gdp on their military and saudi arabia 8. 8. 5. But , saudi arabia 8. 8. 5. But, i mean, you know, our military has been in the news recently. You know, theyre desperate to recruit. Theyre talking about not having, you know, checks know, rigorous security checks for nationals if they for foreign nationals if they want because weve want to join, because weve got to inflate numbers, to inflate the numbers, get the women well, women in there. Yeah. Well, there in the military there are women in the military more women . Yeah. More you want more women . Yeah. As many women conscript more as many women as men make a feminist as you do men make it a feminist issue. Gay woman gun. Issue. Give a gay woman a gun. She solve many problems. Steve yep. Thoughts on that . Not on that specifically, but on the story. It makes sense for story. No, it makes sense for spending increase. Not spending to increase. Its not just staffing numbers. I just about staffing numbers. I mean, embarrassing when you mean, its embarrassing when you hear without hear of like, ships without aircraft to put them and aircraft to put on them and people, enough people to people, not enough people to staff but the staff these things. But the future tends be future of this tends to be moving technology. Lot moving towards technology. A lot of what happening in ukraine of what was happening in ukraine has based, whether has been drone based, whether its ones its been the water based ones or based ones. Thats or the air based ones. Thats where spending is also needed. So yeah, i think, i hate to say it grant shapps if thats his current name is right, but it makes agreeing with grant shapps. No, but it does make you wonder, if was wonder, though, if this was putins was to putins plan all along was to shake up the eu, make independent countries, spend more, make nato, spend more , and more, make nato, spend more, and then peoples then destabilise peoples communities more. Communities more and more. Because thats what it does. I mean, does putin have a particularly Strong Military at the he that . He the moment . Did he have that . He had thing in, had that presentation thing in, in square and they in the red square and they basically cardboard tanks. I basically had cardboard tanks. I think its the straw. I looked it up, i looked it up. I think its if not the up. And i think its if not the strongest in the top four strongest in the top four strongest militaries in europe. Strongest in the top four stronge theyve|ries in europe. Strongest in the top four stronge theyve devoted urope. Strongest in the top four stronge theyve devoted so pe. Strongest in the top four stronge theyve devoted so much strongest in the top four strthee theyve devoted so much strongest in the top four strthe ukrainianievoted so much strongest in the top four strthe ukrainian theyzd so much strongest in the top four strthe ukrainian they have. � nuch strongest in the top four strthe ukrainian they have. So,h of the ukrainian they have. So, you maybe we dont need it you know, maybe we dont need it anyway, the anyway, lets move on to the express. The front cover of thursdays steve thursdays express. Steve migrants rwanda migrants flight plan to rwanda in good place. This is a this is the funniest is the good place rwanda. Is that what theyre talking about . Well, legally its a good place. Yes, because theyve a bill saying theyve passed a bill saying that is safe. Yes. And thats that it is safe. Yes. And thats what they maybe do with what they should maybe do with areas of london. And then you wouldnt about knife wouldnt worry about knife crime. Got to do is crime. All youve got to do is have a vote on it. Apparently you declare places you can just declare places croydon i wouldnt go croydon rocks. I wouldnt go that but steve, that far, scott, but but, steve, you to them their you know, to give them their due. I you know, to give them their due i uke you know, to give them their due. I like the rwandan due. I mean, like the Rwandan Government very at government were very angry at the that rwanda the suggestion that rwanda wasnt safe place. Know, wasnt a safe place. You know, they on they were pushing back on that. Theyve morals they were pushing back on that. Theyve they morals they were pushing back on that. Theyve they were morals they were pushing back on that. Theyve they were threatening to because they were threatening to pull deal the deal pull out of the deal if the deal broke international laws, which is not been is something weve not been particularly about. Particularly too fussed about. But we move away but before we move away from this we mention this story, we have to mention the with it. The plan that goes with it. Rwanda 2. 0, which is, yes, theres this plan to send people to rwanda, and if you apply for asylum in the uk and you and its not approved, they will pay you. Theres a new plan. £3,000. Ching ching, baby, to fly rwanda. So if you then come back again this is brilliant. If you come back again quick and if you get three grand, then this is a nice little nest egg builder. A nice business round its a nice business round trip it is such an yeah, it is such an embarrassment. Im telling yeah, it is such an emtwhyssment. Im telling yeah, it is such an emtwhy theyre im telling yeah, it is such an emtwhy theyre doingm telling yeah, it is such an emtwhy theyre doing it. Telling you why theyre doing it. Clearly at some clearly its so that at some point the future they can point in the future they can say, this say, well, weve sent this many people as long as you people to rwanda. As long as you dont the little dont look at the little asterisk point out they were asterisk and point out they were the who got paid the volunteer ones who got paid three for it, they can three grand for it, they can make look like of make it look like less of a failing plan. We could go rwanda and we could go to rwanda and open little comedy club for open a little comedy club for three grand, couldnt we . A little why not . But, scott, is it not the case that this idea is dead in the water . I mean, it just hasnt worked. Gone hasnt worked. Its gone already. Surely i mean, already. I mean, surely i mean, at they were of at one point they were sort of floating of one floating the idea of using one of of the islands in, of the sort of the islands in, in the highlands of scotland as a do that . Why a place. Why not do that . Why not anglesey . Mean, not just use anglesey . I mean, theres else. Theres no one else. Is using it. The no one else is using it. The only thing is he has been turned down party so many times down by his party so many times with rwanda plan. And it with his rwanda plan.
