So nice and like darlington, hexham, carlisle and glasgow. So nice and like nice, glasgow. So nice and like nice, nice crowds, beautiful wetherspoons every step of the way and thats all that matters. But anyway , i must be careful but anyway, i must be careful not to drift into commercial representation. Lets have representation. Lets have a look at tuesdays front pages. Sorry mr com telegraph, kick us off. Reeves. Britain faces its 1979 moment, and thatll be the birth of new romantic daily mail. Harry and meghan are downgraded by the palace but still visible. Mirror i will not let you down. That is keir starmer i. News, Energy Customers set for payouts worth billions in a scandal thats bigger than ppi , the express bigger than ppi, the express migrants chosen for first flight to rwanda in the spring. That sounds exciting. And daily star this Time Next Year , well be this Time Next Year, well be billionaires. So those were your front pages. So were going to front pages. So were going to start with a particularly unusual front cover on the daily mail here. So the daily mail is two royal specials. One is about harry and meghan being downgraded palace. Being downgraded by the palace. I know if thats an i dont know if thats an Investment Grade or Something Like that, but the main story, the everybody the one that everybody cares about, world about, the image the world has been waiting to see. Smiling kate with william. Kate out walking with william. Thats not the image of kate i was waiting to see, but this is, you know, theres been speculation kate speculation after weeks of kate going missing with her operation not being seen. Then she not being seen. And then she released picture that was released the picture that was revealed have been revealed to have been photoshopped and possibly a composite several different composite of several different images. Now theyve released images. So now theyve released a of her. Out, out, out. A photo of her. Out, out, out. A farm shop, some sort of farm shop or, plant centre type thing. Nursery, and people are saying that this is kate. It doesnt look like kate. So its doesnt look like kate. So its not its done nothing to quell the speculation. And the conspiracy theories. I mean, in fairness, you know, some people have said it doesnt look like her, but theyve only had a few days to find a lookalike or tweak an android. I dont know that they have. There must have been lookalikes making a decent living i dont living for the last, i dont know, 15 years. I mean, know, 10 or 15 years. I mean, shes been international shes been an international celebrity. High celebrity. There must be high grade lookalikes. Have grade lookalikes. You could have got shop in windsor. Got to a farm shop in windsor. Have to say , because i i have to say, because i dont buy into any of this conspiracy stuff. I conspiracy stuff. You know, i dont believe shes on the dont believe shes been on the moon. Do think shes still moon. I do think shes still alive. That i dont know if alive. But that i dont know if they specifically chosen a particularly photograph to particularly bad photograph to help feed this conspiracy , but help feed this conspiracy, but that does not look anything like kate. And im starting to think that doesnt look anything like william, either. Mean, doesnt it doesnt i mean, it doesnt it doesnt just look like a in a in just not look like a in a in a sort of you can see how they were, might have sort of you can see how they were, it, might have sort of you can see how they were, it, but might have sort of you can see how they were, it, but inight have sort of you can see how they were, it, but i mean,iave sort of you can see how they were, it, but i mean, ite sort of you can see how they were, it, but i mean, it looks thought it, but i mean, it looks quite defiantly unlike her. Yeah. Like quite pointedly unlike its like when james bond went away and he came back and he wasnt scottish anymore. I mean. Absolutely. Hes shes the mean. Absolutely. Hes shes the aussie version. Yeah. I think its really odd. She doesnt even im reminded of, charles moore, the editor of the telegraph and spectator occasionally who got into some trouble for saying that Olivia Colman had the wrong sort of face to play the queen in the crown. He said she had a sort of left wing type thinking. Im not left wing type thinking. Im not saying that we know what that means. Yes but thats how i look at her. She doesnt look like she comes from the same. I dont she comes from the same. I dont know, she just doesnt look like she comes from the same family. And also, kate has photoshopped a sun watermark across it, which, which doesnt help things ehhen which, which doesnt help things either. Odd anyway, good luck to her if she is out. I wish her well. Lets hope there is some sort of i do. I mean, i heard, our , our our colleague, earlier our, our our colleague, earlier just, you know, on the Previous Program , patrick saying that the program, patrick saying that the seriously the Buckingham Palace press office have not handled this well at all, have they . I mean, theyve lost control of it completely. And, you know, it is time there might be people who are starting genuinely are starting to feel genuinely quite this. Yeah. Quite unsettled by this. Yeah. I would say that this i mean, i would say that this photograph none at photograph has helped none at all. Id much rather see all. I mean, id much rather see the photoshop of the photoshop version of the instagram they instagram photograph where they sit family, which i would sit as a family, which i would never noticed somebody never have noticed if somebody hadnt never have noticed if somebody hadwith this. Yeah, with out with this. Yeah, even with my eyesight, that just looks like its like something out of viz or something, isnt it . Its like two people went to a farm shop sunday. That does not shop on sunday. That does not mean okay. Mean that kates okay. You being challenged to you are being challenged to say something, arent you . Its the emperors new princess. Anyway, speaking of photoshopped portraits , theres one on the portraits, theres one on the Daily Telegraph, but thats not their main story. Its not . No. There is a lovely photograph the queen what photograph of the queen and what we all of her great we believe is all of her great grandchildren. But we dont know anymore. Dont know anymore. We just dont know something. Blooming something. It could be blooming anyone. Headline that anyone. But the headline that were interested in is reeves, and obviously is , rachel, and this obviously is, rachel, Rachel Reeves, britain faces 1979 moment. And id just like to say i was a 1979 moment for both my parents were. Yeah. So conceived and born in 1979, whereas i was alert when thatcher was elected , and it was thatcher was elected, and it was pretty much on my 14th birthday. Was it really . Yeah was it really . Yeah so that was may, wasnt it . May the 3rd. And this is what theyre talking about. So britain faces 1979 moment Rachel Reeves , today reeves will argue today, today being and tuesday being tomorrow and tuesday as she a labour she vows that a Labour Government would work with businesses a decade of businesses to create a decade of national renewal. So shes pointing back to 1979. Obviously, thatcher came in in may and 1979 was the end of this kind of terrible decade , in kind of terrible decade, in terms of the economy for the 19705, terms of the economy for the 1970s, obviously its brilliant for music and all sorts of other cultural yeah, and then cultural reasons. Yeah, and then of course, we went into the 80s and there was huge boom, and there was this huge boom, and there was this huge boom, and you know, blazers. And interesting though, and its interesting though, because , there was a because i mean, there was a there was a discussion earlier, but on this but were coming on to this story whether or not story about whether or not thatcher to be regarded as thatcher is to be regarded as a villain National History thatcher is to be regarded as a villewhether National History thatcher is to be regarded as a villewhether iiiiiolial history thatcher is to be regarded as a villewhether ninot sheiistory thatcher is to be regarded as a villewhether ninot she should be and whether or not she should be spoken same breath as spoken of in the same breath as hitler laden, which hitler and bin laden, which well there. But but its well get there. But but its interesting how the labour Party Obviously regard her in obviously dont regard her in that. Theyre that. In that light, theyre quite to say were on the quite happy to say were on the bnnk quite happy to say were on the brink thatcherite. Maybe brink of a thatcherite. Maybe not same policies, but not the exact same policies, but national yeah, think national renewal. Yeah, i think here is trying to trying to attract, know, the more sort attract, you know, the more sort of aspirational people you of aspirational people who, you know, occasionally know, you still you occasionally meet them on the left. Not usually. Usually theyre just envious and want to envious and bitter and want to steal off you. But mean, steal money off you. But i mean, its ridiculous thing to say its a ridiculous thing to say because the labour party and because the labour party now and the party now are the the tory party now are the absolute polar opposite of anything. Thatcher would do. Theyre for big state. They want to tax, load, spend loads and they have loads of red tape as well. For business to thrive well. So for business to thrive in those those situations is ridiculous. In those those situations is ridiculous. No, youre absolutely right. It is fair to say, though, that although the thatcherite revolution an thatcherite revolution was an ideological one, it was underpinned north sea oil underpinned by north sea oil revenues, which absolutely made it often gets we always it often gets big. We always overlook, but that was a big part if we can find part of the if we can find Something Like that, know, part of the if we can find somego. |g like that, know, lets go. I wonder if we did find it, then let us use it at the moment. Yeah, exactly. That would be that would be that, that would be me, that that, that would be to me, that would swing vote. Frankly would swing the vote. Frankly yeah, express. So the prime yeah, express. Leo. So the Prime Minister hes still minister confirms hes still committed the deportations committed to the deportations timeline are chosen timeline as migrants are chosen for the first flight to rwanda in the spring. And thats this spring, not spring 2048, presumably , although, yeah, i presumably, although, yeah, i mean, i wouldnt so up to 200 have been selected. I mean, this could change everything. And theyre going to be revealed. Theyre going to be revealed on podiums slowly rotate with podiums that slowly rotate with the dry ice migrants. Yes. 200. Its not even like an active tuesday on the on the channel is it . I mean its not its not even a full size travelodge is it. You know, what are they going to when theyve been selected as well. Sorry. You do. This is just much you do. This is just so much about this thats ridiculous. Pathetic. He absolutely pathetic. He deserves laughed out of deserves to be laughed out of the country. He does. Well, yeah. If you could take one one of the seats maybe. But, but in his favour , the ten lords his in his favour, the ten lords amendments to amendments that were going to water rwanda bill were , water down the rwanda bill were, were down by the government were shut down by the government today, showed that the today, and it showed that the tory party can still unite sometimes because all the other parties were to keep parties were voting to keep these the tory these amendments. And the Tory Party United behind rishi and slapped them down and made sure it goes through okay. So i mean, obviously , you know, joking obviously, you know, joking aside, its meant to be a deterrent. Were not meant to deport millions of migrants to rwanda, probably a thousand or something. And then people will know mean business. And do know we mean business. And do you think would at this you think it would work at this point . Mean, ijust you think it would work at this point . Mean, i just dont have you think it would work at this pwhen mean, i just dont have you think it would work at this pwhen it1ean, i just dont have you think it would work at this pwhen it first i just dont have you think it would work at this pwhen it first came dont have you think it would work at this pwhen it first came in, nt have. When it first came in, i thought, well, its so crazy. It might got might just work, but youve got to that like as they to do the ones that like as they arrive, like set arrive, its like as you set foot, you get theres no point. Like people know that, like because people know that, oh, taken those i oh, theyve taken those 200. I can go and get, you know, can still go and get, you know, all the, all the free stuff like all the, all the free stuff like a trapdoor to rwanda at. Dover. Yeah. At dover. Yeah. At dover. But, this, this policy. Yeah. But, this, this policy. Yeah. But, this, this policy. We talked a little bit about thatcher. Thatcher sort of led from the front. She said, this is what im going to do. Like it or lump it. This is my vision. This were going to do this is how were going to do it. It was undiluted. Now. It took her to 7 years to achieve took her 5 to 7 years to achieve a lot of things. And people a lot of her things. And people forget didnt happen. A lot of her things. And people forgiwould didnt happen. A lot of her things. And people forgiwould diclostiappen. A lot of her things. And people forgiwould diclost1a|iten. A lot of her things. And people forgiwould diclost1a|it hadnt she would have lost if it hadnt been falklands, wouldnt it . Exactly. We all say, and however this is so diluted now, its use to anybody. Its of no use to anybody. These amendments dont these ten amendments i dont care of that. Care about any of that. Basically, if youre going to have party country, have a third party country, youre send illegal youre going to send Illegal Immigrants do immigrants to, then just do it. Get the planes on the tarmac to choose than 200. Dont choose more than 200. Dont select them like theyve won a competition. Just we take them and they go ideally like like the in madagascar. The lion in madagascar. Know, a stun gun and the you know, a stun gun and the crate. That would be the way to do anyway. Finishing off do it anyway. Just finishing off very folks. The star, very quickly, folks. The star, weve got, like, 30s big news here. Yeah. This Time Next Year, well be billionaires. So this is all to do with divers. Hope to start bringing up £13 billion worth in gold bullion from spanish, from spanish galleon, which the brits sank 315 years ago. Simon. Amazing. I have a friend who has invested in an ongoing project to retrieve gold that is apparently at the bottom of the. Its not the irish sea between britain and ireland. Is that the irish sea . Yes. Yeah, which was on its way over to pay war debt or something. All right. Sank so theres this stuff down theres lots of this stuff down theres lots of this stuff down there not easy to there and its not as easy to isolate and identify, but once you get mean, it you get it, i mean, it definitely exists. Yeah. Yeah, of brilliant thing about of course. Brilliant thing about gold know, fine. Gold is, you know, its fine. Give yeah give it a go. Yeah. Yeah. We wish us well, that was the start of the british empire. Drakes it drakes gold. Anyway. Thats it for part one. In part two, a monarchy malarkey from dambusters to sham busters.
