Broadcast overview

An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.

The broadcast began with discussion of Prime Minister Andy Burnham's post-Brexit reset and reports that he was ready to sign a new EU deal next month. It covered plans for a summit to sign a food and drink agreement, a youth mobility scheme, and an emissions trading pact, which the Prime Minister hoped could provide a £10 billion boost to the economy. Burnham promised the British public would be the boss at every stage of renegotiations. The discussion also addressed his comments about Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum, including his later statement that he had not implied Russia decided the result, and panel debate on whether the public should have a vote on any renegotiation and on UK trade with the EU.

The programme then discussed Reform UK's announcement of a total and complete shutdown of the asylum system for five years if it wins the next general election. It covered the Daily Mirror front page reporting Robert Jenrick's comments that the Royal Marines could use lethal force in the Channel, and a clip in which Jenrick said marines would be deployed and could use lethal force if needed, while also saying migrants should be picked up and returned to France. The panel discussed lethal force against migrants or people smugglers, border enforcement, deportations, and whether the Royal Marines should be asked to use live fire.

The broadcast also covered a Times welfare inquiry reporting that disability benefits for 120,000 teenagers cost £1 billion a year. The panel discussed conditions such as autism, ADHD, and mild depression, the amount per person, PIP, and GP sick notes. Later it discussed Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's announced review into MPs' safety following the killing of Ann Widdecombe, including expanded police support for party leaders who are not MPs, peers, former MPs, and former members of devolved parliaments, and panel debate on security levels for MPs.

Per year as well. Let's focus on what's doing the rounds across multiple different front pages. If we bring up the Daily Express, dereliction of duty, bid to betray Brexit vote, the Express go for, fury as Prime Minister confirms he will seek closer ties with the European Union, and this idea that he seems like he's ready

and this idea that he seems like he's ready to sign a deal. Okay, firstly, Carole, does he have a mandate to be renegotiating any kind of Brexit? He has no mandate at all. This is a man who got 20,000 votes in Makerfield at a time of which he was campaigning and talking about rejoining the EU and said

so yeah, but it says here, Burnham ready to sign new EU deal next month. So he's not putting it to the public again, is he? And he does say- He's just signing it. He says that he promised a serious dialogue with who? Who's going to have the dialogue with, because it's not us. I mean, even at party conference,

and we have put barriers in the way. Well, so, Leo, just bringing up on this, I actually kind of almost want to zoom out a little bit here and talk about the absolute utter betrayal by the establishment on Brexit right from the start. Cameron went immediately, as did Osborne. Then in comes Theresa May, an avid remainer who never believed in the thing,

What's the first thing he does? Opens the borders to millions of people, not culturally similar people, not Spanish, French, Polish, Germans. These are people from far-flung, distant, alien, medieval places that are obviously letting millions of people in like that is going to cause huge amounts of social friction

but some people still might think that's beyond the pale. I don't know. I don't think, as the mirror front page makes out, he is saying he would just take a machine gun to a boat of illegal immigrants in the English Channel. Yeah, I was quite disappointed when I found out that wasn't the plan. But we've seen this. That is obviously a joke.

they're now protesting in the streets everywhere because the violence are getting put into their communities. So, to them, no numbers are going down. I don't think to go to the story we're meant to be discussing, taking a gun and shooting vulnerable people in the channel is a wise idea. None of us have said you can do that. We could try it.

or seriously wound them. That could then turn out to be a mistake, and they took the orders. It is wrong on every level. These people smugglers, these lovely people smugglers, who don't get people killed in the channel, who aren't able to chuck babies out of boats, all of that, you know, these wonderful people.

But with the ADHD thing and the kind of mild depression, whilst I am sympathetic towards these people, I'm sorry, I don't think tossing £695 a month at them is right. Also, it's incentivising people to have those conditions, to go and get diagnosed with ADHD or autism or whatever. I've got a lot of... It seems to be a fad, a trend amongst comedians

to go and get diagnosed with ADHD or autism or whatever. I've got a lot of... It seems to be a fad, a trend amongst comedians to get yourself diagnosed with autism or ADHD, so you've got something to write a show about, so you're not just some boring white guy. You've got a thing that makes you a victim.

Speed. Yeah, essentially it's drugs. It's quite powerful stuff. So I think if you put a tax on ADHD and autism instead of giving people money to have it, then people would suddenly stop having it. I suppose it ties in a bit, Benjamin, with the fact that we did a story earlier on in my previous show,

I mean, fair play to him. He's clung on. But this is the thing which I think when people see these headlines, they have a right to think that actually there's a lot of fraud going on here. Well, you know, one of the problems of Covid is that people were checked without having an in-person consultation,
