welcome back to headliners. i'm nick dixon, still here with light entertainers leo kearse and scott capurro. let's crack on with the telegraph. and keir starmer is hedging his bets over pretty much everything. but in this angela rayner. this case angela rayner. leo. yeah. keir starmer refuses to yeah. so keir starmer refuses to say he has 100% confidence in angela rayner, i mean it's nice,

it's refreshing to have a politician who, you know, won't make outlandish promises, but yeah, the labour deputy leader, angela rayner, has been accused of lying over the sale of her former council house in stockport in 2015, was stockport in 2015, she was registered at the property for five years after marrying mark raynen five years after marrying mark rayner, who was her husband. i think they're estranged now, and he was listed at a different address a mile away. they're address a mile away. so they're saying, she was saying saying, you know, she was saying this her primary residence. this was her primary residence. she relief she got the tax relief or something when she it. but something when she sold it. but actually, her primary actually, it wasn't her primary residence. these champagne residence. and these champagne socialists houses. residence. and these champagne soc i alists houses. residence. and these champagne socl don't houses. residence. and these champagne socl don't know houses. residence. and these champagne socl don't know , houses. residence. and these champagne socl don't know , it houses. residence. and these champagne socl don't know , it seems»uses. residence. and these champagne socl don't know , it seems like .. so i don't know, it seems like i've got sympathy for angela raynen i've got sympathy for angela rayner. it seems like a pretty small transgression compared to what we're used to politicians doing. exactly , you doing. she's not exactly, you know, imelda marcos. yeah, we covered day. covered it the other day. i mean, the problem is it's a few things. >> it's the. >> it's the. >> okay, there's the initial sort of minor misdemeanour, whatever you call it. then there's to lie whatever you call it. then there'sit. to lie whatever you call it. then there'sit. then to lie whatever you call it. then there'sit. then there's to lie whatever you call it. then there'sit. then there's the lie about it. then there's the hypocrisy. chased down hypocrisy. when she chased down rishi sunak's wife about non—dom status, know, status, she was you know, obsessed with nadhim zahawi tax status. there's a hypocrisy status. so there's a hypocrisy

element as well. so it's very hard for to deal with hard for starmer to deal with it. watched this it. i actually watched this interview, short interview, this very short clip and really like and he doesn't really sound like anything. says i'm very anything. he just says i'm very i've full confidence in. and i've got full confidence in. and then not then the guy says, that's not 100% full 100% confidence. full confidence. full confidence. i mean full confidence. i mean full confidence because full. >> you've been sunak . sunaks >> you've been sunak. sunaks wife is one of the richest women in we're talking in britain. we're talking about a for god's a house in stockport for god's sake. think i think sake. i mean, i think i think the a little minor, but the threats a little minor, but also i think also also i think that also the relationship starmer and relationship between starmer and she has always been a bit strained. they do show lot strained. and they do show a lot of photos in the press of photos of them in the press walking together, just the two of photos of them in the press wathem.together, just the two of photos of them in the press wathem. and her, just the two of photos of them in the press wathem. and she'srst the two of photos of them in the press wathem. and she's alwaystwo of them. and she's always smiling looks, you know, smiling and he looks, you know, constipated. feel constipated. and i just feel like not quite what like i'm not quite sure what we're to from this we're meant to gain from this sort of battle between them. i always think that maybe she wants job and he's terrified wants his job and he's terrified of it. >> i guess that's the way i put it. is it you she's sort it. is it you know, she's sort of token far left that he of this token far left that he can in there, he's more can have in there, but he's more worried zarah sultana worried about the zarah sultana and further left that and the even further left that he, he sort an he, you know, he sort of got an arrangement with a working arrangement with a now a working relationship or whatever. >> things her >> there are things about her that the left that are strange. the left thing, she say, thing, because she did say, shoot ask when

shoot first and ask later when they about they were talking about interviewing, they were talking about interviethey, they were talking about interviethey thought might be people they thought might be terrorists. it was a really strange response. i thought, so i think maybe he finds her a bit unpredictable. something like this. have vetted this. she should have vetted with him, maybe. and think with him, maybe. and i think he finds her, a bit, i hate to say unstable , i guess as unstable, i guess as a politician, maybe. yeah. >> well, certainly it would be unstable now to get rid of someone with the election coming up. so trying to keep >> so now he's trying to keep her? just depends her? i suppose it just depends how to how much the press want to hammer and. how much the press want to harbutr and. how much the press want to har but now and. how much the press want to har but now they show her up with >> but now they show her up with two other women from her party. they don't. shaheen. she together? oh, interesting. i saw it a few it today and i've seen it a few times them shopping times before them going shopping or constituents times before them going shopping or meant constituents times before them going shopping or meant and�*nstituents times before them going shopping or meant and so:ituents times before them going shopping or meant and so i uents times before them going shopping or meant and so i feltts are meant to do. and so i felt like when i saw that footage, i thought, they're kind of they're not separating them. they're distancing them from image management bit. management a little bit. >> happens in >> yeah. it happens in succession. can we not succession. can we can we not have like some kind succession. can we can we not haweird like some kind succession. can we can we not haweird pr like some kind succession. can we can we not haweird pr thing?

study about diversity at work. the famous study they're quoting here is the mckinsey research. and dame vivian hunt, who suggested at the time when the research was done years ago that diversity produces, improved performance at work. and they did their own study and they said they couldn't find any proof of this at all, that they had no results. it was completely erroneous. academics making that really making statements that really the study itself hadn't been backed proper research . and backed by proper research. and then the sentence i like and this final one, which this is the final one, which is the mckinsey people to the mckinsey people declined to comment. the idea really comment. i guess the idea really is that they had no statistical improvement when they did their own research. nothing showed. yeah, any diversity , growth, yeah, any diversity, growth, gross margin, return on assets, return on equity, total shareholder return. >> that's everything. yeah. yeah. because it's yeah. this is because it's ideological led research. they're told what the is they're told what the result is before they do the research. or they decided you need to find that diversity equity and inclusion shows that, you know this you're if this improved if you're if you're in the 17th century, you'd have to show that, you know going to church is good for

you or whatever. it's exactly the it's a religion. the same thing. it's a religion. and also with and we're seeing it also with the debate. you the gender ideology debate. you know, people are told, oh, if you you transition children, you if you transition children, it's their lives and it's it's saving their lives and it's making better. making everything better. and it's you sure it's like, whoa, are you sure that, giving these it's like, whoa, are you sure that,puberty giving these it's like, whoa, are you sure that,puberty blockers] these kids puberty blockers and hormones and, you know, it's so odd . i see a hormones and, you know, it's so odd. i see a climate as hormones and, you know, it's so odd . i see a climate as well. odd. i see a climate as well. >> it's true. when i started in comedy san francisco an comedy in san francisco at an lgbt, vegan cafe, it's hard to say, and, you know, the shows were diverse by nature because the, the venue attracted all sorts of people to come perform. there had never been a venue like that. and so we didn't have to do diversity format shows. they were. i didn't they just were. i didn't hear about until i started about that until i started coming here and saw people not wanting book more than one wanting to book more than one lgbt person on the same bill. it's so odd to me, like the audience just wants to laugh, you know ? i just don't see the you know? i just don't see the point. people just want to work together along. together and get along. yeah, exactly together and get along. yeah, exaand only system that >> and the only system that works meritocracy. the works is meritocracy. hiring the best none sort of best person. none of the sort of forced, different forced, hiring from different

categories so you can tick boxes and ensure you've got some sort of representative , diverse of representative, diverse workforce, crowbarring workforce, you know, crowbarring people that i people into positions that i think blind hiring is the only solution. >> yeah, i think that's what you know. yeah. i mean, that's that's that's what works . that's that's what works. >> i think the eye is on the way out personally. it's dumb , out personally. it's dumb, enervating, idiotic, and it's costing money. >> been a lot money that >> it's been a lot of money that has been spent it. jesus. has been spent on it. jesus. >> i think it's on >> yeah, yeah, i think it's on the it doesn't work. i the way. it doesn't work. i mean, mark cuban's been having this debate peterson this debate with jordan peterson online, but cuban hasn't got a leg because online, but cuban hasn't got a lejust because online, but cuban hasn't got a lejust doesn't because online, but cuban hasn't got a lejust doesn't work. because online, but cuban hasn't got a lejust doesn't work. it's because it just doesn't work. it's nonsense. let's do the nonsense. anyway, let's do the independent. daniel independent. and if daniel radcliffe is ever in another one of movies, of those wizard movies, it should called harry should be called harry potter and ingratitude. so and the wand of ingratitude. so j.k. rowling says harry j.k. rowling says that harry potter daniel radcliffe potter stars daniel radcliffe and emma watson can save their apology . and emma watson can save their apology. his. so she's she's had apology. his. so she's she's had a little snipe at them. nice. she suggested she won't forgive the actors for questioning her trans . they did more than trans views. they did more than question her views. they really got the boot. >> daniel apologise to trans fans her behaviour that hurt them. >> yeah. he apologised to trans fans for rowling's behaviour,

trying to smear anybody who essence of biological reality as far right bigot . give it up far right bigot. give it up guys. you've lost. all right, let's do the guardian then. and the post office scandal incredibly keeps getting even worse . scott, i don't know how worse. scott, i don't know how they're that. they're doing that. >> apparently. a woman, >> yes, apparently. a woman, seema misra, was jailed. she was eight weeks pregnant, and she was a post office operator, and she was wrongly prosecuted. and the head of the post office at the head of the post office at the time, david smith , the time, david smith, apparently, tweeted or texted or emailed his co—workers and said, this is brilliant news that she's been put in prison. and he says now in testimony recently, he said, i didn't know that she was pregnant. and of course i would have never sent that message out if i'd known, because it's never a good idea to pregnant in to put a pregnant woman in prison. knew at prison. although they knew at the time that there was a problem that software. problem with that software. that's they kept that's why they kept investigating own investigating their own software, and they wanted an independent study by fujitsu who had made the software. so how is it independent that they gave them that power and that right,

because they knew that something was and instead was wrong with it, and instead they their own they were imprisoning their own employees taking money from them? >> although think denies >> although i think he denies that. he that. the barrister, he said that. the barrister, he said that he. course do. that he. of course they do. yeah, but the kind of thing yeah, but it's the kind of thing you but, you have to say on telly. but, but appalling. but yes, it seems appalling. i mean, email, he mean, to send this email, he says was about the people says it was about the people working right. working hard on the case. right. so good. he's so it doesn't look good. he's admitted it was really poorly thought is thought through. and this is horrific. 15 months pregnant, in prison her son's horrific. 15 months pregnant, in pris10th. her son's horrific. 15 months pregnant, in pris10th. yeah, her son's horrific. 15 months pregnant, in pris10th. yeah, yeah,er son's horrific. 15 months pregnant, in pris10th. yeah, yeah, eight s ten 10th. yeah, yeah, eight weeks pregnant. it's so horrific. but but he didn't i mean, reading this, it doesn't seem that he knew that the system was faulty. this was apparently a test case that was that was proving that the honzon that was proving that the horizon it system was seen to be robust . this horizon it system was seen to be robust. this was the test horizon it system was seen to be robust . this was the test case robust. this was the test case that proved so from his that proved that. so from his point view , at the time, point of view, at the time, a guilty person who'd been convicted and that was seen as you know, that's obviously , you you know, that's obviously, you know, you get a successful prosecution, but he's had a chance to apologise for four years and he's done nothing until now , until he's before a until now, until he's before a jury until now, until he's before a jury of his peers. so you're blaming fujitsu instead or

someone or the post office? i think is has been you think this is this has been you know, digging out, you know, they're digging out, you know, they're digging out, you know, the know, his his comment at the time. i think that's that's time. and i think that's that's unfair because information time. and i think that's that's unfa he ecause information time. and i think that's that's unfa he had|se information time. and i think that's that's unfa he had to information time. and i think that's that's unfa he had to to ormation time. and i think that's that's unfa he had to to g0|ation time. and i think that's that's unfa he had to to go on on time. and i think that's that's unfa he had to to go on it that he had to had to go on it was an appropriate was it was an appropriate comment. right. so all comment. yes. all right. so all right. good. we were balanced on that fair enough. let's do that then. fair enough. let's do this the time's and this one then. the time's and reform sacked reform uk have sacked a candidate being inactive. candidate for being inactive. turns out he was just dead, so apparently still more apparently he was still more competent and competent than most tory and labour exactly , labour mps. yeah, well, exactly, reform uk has said it is mortified, which ironically means dead after dropping a candidate choice for being inactive, only to discover that he had died , although. yeah, i he had died, although. yeah, i mean, technically they're not wrong. he was inactive . so when wrong. he was inactive. so when the party removed tommy cockwell, who's an rnli volunteer, as the york central party parliamentary candidate, it said, we can't afford to have people doing nothing in an election year, but it later emerged that he had actually died selection died during the selection process , and i think he still process, and i think he still should to honest , i should stand, to be honest, i think he'd do a betterjob than standing would be hard. >> this selection

>> i mean, this selection process meant that he was alive. and the election came and then when the election came around, funny too, because around, it's funny too, because i sorry, they i think they see sorry, they seem bit out of touch with seem a bit out of touch with their own candidates a little bit. so reform bit. yeah. i mean, so reform have said some strange i mean, i like of the people in like some of the people in reform, they've some reform, but they've said some strange things like they use the media to vet their candidates. >> yeah. they don't have the resources candidates. >> yeah. they don't have the resources to candidates. >> yeah. they don't have the resources to candidates�*s. >> yeah. they don't have the resources to candidates and i've spoken to candidates and they just went in. they say, well, i just went in. they oh, have a they asked, oh, have you got a criminal record? cool. criminal record? no. cool. you're very poor you're hired like it's very poor vetting course, they vetting process. of course, they don't resources and don't have the resources and the money other parties. money of the other parties. so then to that, then they seem to say that, yeah, using media as yeah, we're using the media as a kind process, which yeah, we're using the media as a kiiai process, which yeah, we're using the media as a kiia terrible process, which yeah, we're using the media as a kiia terrible idearocess, which yeah, we're using the media as a kiia terrible idea because hich yeah, we're using the media as a kiia terrible idea because now is a terrible idea because now their these hit their enemies put out these hit pieces and then they're seen to just respond. so just capitulate and respond. so their are just capitulate and respond. so thei doing are just capitulate and respond. so thei doing that? are just capitulate and respond. so thei doing that? why are just you doing that? why are you just capitulating enemies capitulating to our enemies immediately? this is politics is a that's how it a tough game. that's not how it works. and this is sort works. in 2024. and this is sort of, i suppose, the suppose , of, i suppose, the i suppose, the apotheosis, to use a word, i use of that which the apotheosis, to use a word, i use candidatesf that which the apotheosis, to use a word, i use candidates actuallyiich the apotheosis, to use a word, i use candidates actually of| the apotheosis, to use a word, i use candidates actually of the your candidates actually of the poor process. it doesn't poor vetting process. it doesn't get than they're get much worse than they're actually be very actually dead. so but to be very fair they don't have fair to them, they don't have the resources of other parties, even though it's a sort of grimly story. mean,

grimly amusing story. i mean, a lot people even lot of people don't even know the exists first the party exists in the first place. true. yeah, that's place. that's true. yeah, that's true, although doing true, although they're doing surprisingly well in polls, given knows given that no one even knows they exist. 12% for some, that's how party how bad the tories are. a party that people know that most people don't know about to about is threatening them to become yeah, become the new opposition. yeah, and imagine if we had proportional representation and imagine if we had proportiwe'd'epresentation and imagine if we had proporti we'd have entation and imagine if we had proportiwe'd have reformn and imagine if we had proportiwe'd have reform as the uk, we'd have reform as a solid, know, presence in solid, you know, presence in parliament. that'd be parliament. i know that'd be very all right. parliament. i know that'd be very is all right. parliament. i know that'd be very is for all right. parliament. i know that'd be very is for partill right. parliament. i know that'd be very is for part two.]ht. parliament. i know that'd be very is for part two. but that is it for part two. but coming the navy its coming up the navy scraps its swimming requirement. wokeness coming up the navy scraps its swimnopera�*quirement. wokeness coming up the navy scraps its swimnopera an rement. wokeness coming up the navy scraps its swimnopera an ofcom . wokeness coming up the navy scraps its swimnopera an ofcom complaints at the opera an ofcom complaints that last one is not
