vote? i'm going to get in so much trouble tonight to fallout over trouble tonight to fall out over those topics and many more. my friday 18. i'm always on the verge of cancellation . fearless verge of cancellation. fearless comedian sir curci, football legend and usually the first to be red carded tony cottee and tv news royalty. the most trusted man in the building right now. thatis man in the building right now. that is a low bar. nicholas owen . so my friday feeling monologue is coming. you won't want to miss it. i'm not pulling my punches. but first, the news headunes punches. but first, the news headlines and a very old friend of mine, sophia wenzler. >> thanks, mark. good evening. i'm sophia wenzler in the gb newsroom. your top story this hour. newsroom. your top story this hour . a man newsroom. your top story this hour. a man has set himself on fire outside the courthouse in new york, where former us president donald trump's hush

money trial is underway. the man was in the designated protest area outside the manhattan criminal court. the person received medical attention and was taken from the area . the was taken from the area. the circumstances are still unclear and we will bring you more as we get it. the uk and western allies are calling for de—escalation in the middle east after reports that israel launched air strikes against iran . state media says three iran. state media says three drones were shot down with explosions heard at an airbase near the city of isfahan . no near the city of isfahan. no damage or injuries have been reported in the latest exchange. the strike is thought to be in response to last weekend's attack, when iran fired a barrage of drones and missiles at israel . in other news, at israel. in other news, scotland's former first minister has spoken for the first time since her husband was charged by police. nicola sturgeon was questioned by journalists as she left her home in glasgow. it seems incredibly difficult, but you know, that's not the main issue here so i can't say any

more. >> i'm not going to say any more i >> -- >> and peter murrell, who is the snp's chief executive for more than two decades before standing down last year, has been charged in connection with the embezzlement of funds . embezzlement of funds. detectives are investigating how more than £600,000 in donations for independence campaigning was spent. the 59 year old, who is no longer in custody, has also resigned his snp membership . the resigned his snp membership. the met police has apologised after an officer used the firm openly jewish, to an anti—semite campaigner who was near a pro—palestine march . a video pro—palestine march. a video clip posted on social media showed the moment gideon falter was threatened with arrest by police . police. >> you are quite openly jewish. this is a pro—palestinian march. i'm not accusing you of anything, but i'm worried about the reaction to your presence. >> the chief executive of campaign against anti—semitism was wearing a kippah skullcap when he was stopped from crossing a road near the demonstration in london last saturday, the met police

assistant commissioner said the officer's poor choice of words was hugely regrettable . and five was hugely regrettable. and five just stop oil protesters have been convicted of aggravated trespass after they disturbed a performance of les miserables in london's west end last year. the performance was stopped when activists stormed the stage and locked themselves to the set. an audience of around 1000 people was asked to leave the venue, and the performance was cancelled, the court was told. the action cost the theatre an estimated £60,000 and for the latest stories, sign up to gb news alerts by scanning the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. common alerts. now it's back to . mark. back to. mark. >> if you thought the biggest problem facing the country was illegal immigration and ongoing cost of living crisis, a broken nhs, sky high taxes or a bloated and inefficient public sector?

think again. it's so dreadful smokers you've got to worry about. that's right. whose taxes pay about. that's right. whose taxes pay for our beleaguered public services? this hasn't stopped born again socialist rishi sunak wasting parliamentary time and annoying half his own party with annoying half his own party with a very unconservative and probably unenforceable, smoking ban on people born after 2009. so when these youngsters reach adulthood , they'll be co—opting adulthood, they'll be co—opting people in their 90s to pop into the newsagents to buy them 20 benson and hedges. is it any wonder that rishi sunak premiership is going up in smoke at the fag end of 14 years? things couldn't be worse for the beleaguered pm, with yet another sorry tale of a tory mp caught up in a compromising position last week it was william wragg, big willie, to his friends, who inexplicably handed out phone numbers of his tory colleagues after he was caught sending presumably saucy pictures of himself to a blackmailer

blackmailer. now, whilst focus should be on angela rayner's car crash in slow motion, where did i live ten years ago? drama enter stage left another conservative backbencher, the lancashire mp mark menzies, who, according to the times newspaper, allegedly called an assistant in the middle of the night demanding thousands of poundsin night demanding thousands of pounds in what was called a matter of life and death to pay off bad people. who are these bad people? are the tory backbenchers . he was even backbenchers. he was even allegedly locked in a flat, presumably one of the flats that we pay for. it's also alleged that £14,000 given by donors for campaign activities was transferred to menzies account for medical expenses. what are those medical expenses? was it a kidney transplant? back surgery , kidney transplant? back surgery, a bum lift? menzies denies the charges and he's now lost the tory whip. that sounds like an early punishment. i imagine he quite likes the whip. let's give

this poor bloke the benefit of the doubt, shall we? but it all has echoes of john major's sleaze ridden administration in 1997. now climate alarmists got very excited to see dubai flooded with rain this week, with wild scenes of hotels and shopping centres knee deep in water in what is basically normally an arabian desert. even aeroplanes struggled to navigate the runway. such were the levels of flooding, of course. predictably, this news was met with excitement and glee by net zero fanatics who will stop at nothing to stir up hysteria around climate change, except that some have been speculating that some have been speculating that the dubai authorities. that's right, the dubai authorities have been indulging in something called cloud seeding, where they essentially plant rain into the clouds in order to bring moisture to this arid landscape . now, if that's arid landscape. now, if that's true, it's probably best to leave nature to its own devices. the same could be said for a certain virus laboratory in

wuhan. meanwhile, the climate cult will continue to seize on any unusual weather to prove that the world is going to have blown up by next tuesday . the blown up by next tuesday. the fact that we're all sat here shivering in april doesn't really help the climate change cause, does yes, the earth cause, does it? yes, the earth is heating up, and yes, we should clean up the planet and go green in a sensible way. with the likes of china pulling their weight. but eco fanatics weight. but these eco fanatics are over the top, deluded, mad and often wrong . they have cried and often wrong. they have cried wolf too many times and all they've got now is hot . air. they've got now is hot. air. well, the full reaction by friday. a—teams sajeela curci, tony cottee and nicholas owen suella get the ball rolling for us. do the tories have a problem with sex? >> oh my god, i think they've got a problem . a lot of it is to got a problem. a lot of it is to do with sex. i mean, of course

third time, is this proof that old people shouldn't be allowed to vote? we'll debate that next. plus, what about those lefties having a go at liz truss? i'll be dealing with them in no uncertain terms in two minutes time.

liz truss has a book out in ten years to save the west. she says the deep state is thwarting the democratic will of the people. conniving to give us open borders, keep taxes high, and allow woke nonsense like gender ideology to embed in our public institutions. lots of arrogant male commentators have been sneering at what she had to say in a way that i think is a touch sexist. meanwhile, the rest of us are just wondering what this radical woman might have actually achieved if she'd been given more than 44 days. yes she cut a comical figure at times,

but that's nothing compared to the clowns that will be running the clowns that will be running the country in a few months time. so joel cauchi tony cottee and nicholas owen are my friday a team. nicholas owen i think there's sexism at play here. i don't like the beating up on liz truss. what do you think there is an aspect of that? >> yes. i think that the liz truss is this isn't that she got there. she had radical, very, very radical ideas, wanted a tax cut, tax cuts, people back cut, tax cuts, get people back into work and all the things that we talk about, all jolly goodideas that we talk about, all jolly good ideas , appallingly good ideas, appallingly executed. mean, that's what executed. i mean, that's what happened, ? i don't happened, wasn't it? i don't think it's sexism, really. i don't think so. i just think she was just couldn't put it over, just turn it into just couldn't turn it into reality. that was the trouble. >> is she the best prime >> but is she the best prime minister? never do you minister? we never had? do you think that rishi sunak should use some kind use her as some kind of political resource? should she go cabinet? that go back in the cabinet? that would cat among the pigeons? >> yeah. i don't think the game she's is clear, she's playing is quite clear, isn't it? she wants expecting sunak goes off and sunak to be off. he goes off and continues making money in the

way did which is way that he did before, which is fine. good. good for him. fine. jolly good. good for him. and rump of tory and the tiny rump of the tory party rump rump. oh, party rump again. rump. oh, i missed missed. you missed missed you. missed. you missed one. i got one past him. i got one. i got one past him. i got one rump of the tory one past him. rump of the tory party will family nicholas. party will family show nicholas. oh it's turned into oh is it. oh it's turned into a family show now. >> okay. >> okay. >> better late never. what >> better late than never. what time it ? oh, yes, it >> better late than never. what time it? oh, yes, it is. time is it? oh, yes, it is. anyway, the small amount of the tory party that's left will be looking for a new leader, will it not? and it might just be. there are enough, headbangers of one sort or another on the right who will say, well, why don't we have a go with miss truss? there's thought, it? there's a thought, isn't it? >> god, bring back truss. >> oh my god, bring back truss. what do you think? >> oh my god, bring back truss. wh oh,) you think? >> oh my god, bring back truss. wh oh,) you tiknow. think she >> oh, i don't know. i think she should second coming. she should have second coming. she missed with i missed a trick with her book. i think she should have called it letters 10. that's letters from number 10. that's harsh? okay. look, i'm harsh? oh, okay. look, i'm sorry, are that sorry, but you are in that position, so kind of position, so you're kind of like, expect it. i don't like, have to expect it. i don't think it's sexism. and for a woman, say that, woman, for me to say that, i mean, i don't is. mean, i don't think it is. i think it's justified . and the think it's justified. and the criticisms that she's getting. i think sounds i haven't think this sounds like i haven't read book, i'd like to. read the book, but i'd like to.

sort of thing. but no, the costs are bearing down on them very, very been cutting very hard. they've been cutting back output. and so back on their output. and so some have been some people have not been getting the work want. and getting the work they want. and that's sad. i don't that's very, very sad. i don't know the details of martin's case. no. and of course it's honest. it's ill advised us honest. it's ill advised for us to actually that to actually enter that particular case. >> her well. the bbc and >> we wish her well. the bbc and her will flesh that one out. yes, but i don't like the optics of these stars on full pay at our expense. i mean, you've got huw i was talking huw edwards, who i was talking about on night my take about on sunday night in my take at yes, about £375,000 at ten. yes, about £375,000 earned since he came off air. >> yes. well, contract is a contract , i'm >> yes. well, contract is a contract, i'm afraid, mark, isn't it, i don't know what the wording of the contract was. his contract is what his deal is, but that's the way it goes. he's not alone in that. i mean, let's let's swing away from the let's let's swing away from the media. of businesses media. all sorts of businesses have this position where have been in this position where people, for one reason or another, have moved away to another, have moved away to another indeed suspended. another, have moved away to anotifer indeed suspended. another, have moved away to anotif it indeed suspended. another, have moved away to anotif it says indeed suspended. another, have moved away to anotif it says in1deed suspended. another, have moved away to anotif it says in the d suspended. another, have moved away to anotif it says in the contract|ded. and if it says in the contract pay and if it says in the contract pay that the full pay, that's what you've got to do. otherwise you yourself on a legal

leave 2016, have folded yet leave in 2016, have folded yet again during brexit negotiations. they said that we couldn't have our cake and eat it, and yet we now have tariff free access to the european market. there was the rumoured £100 billion divorce bill that never materialised. they said we would be chucked out of the collaborative horizon science project for only us to join at the end of last year, they said that the dreadful backstop, remember the backstop, which worked against northern ireland. they said it couldn't be thrown out. it was gone in months and now technocrats on the continent want to invite young brits to have freedom of movement in europe. the so—called youth mobility scheme would allow young brits aged 18 to 30 to go to europe for up to four years to europe for up to four years to work, travel and study and for their youngsters to do the same here. well, that sounds like they want us back. so that's access to jobs and residency in europe without paying residency in europe without paying huge monthly sums or

following any rules. that's what i call having your cake and eating it. the uk has fast becoming britain's friend with benefits like an x that's accepted that you've moved out, but is willing to have you back for a bit of hanky panky when things are a bit quiet in the bedroom . this flirtation is the bedroom. this flirtation is the best of both worlds for the brits and the remainers, desperate to cast our departure from the bloc a disaster are from the bloc as a disaster are absolutely screwed. tony cottee they want us back. the eu is like a crazy ex—girlfriend that won't let it go. >> yeah, i'm not a lover. the eu got to be honest. but, yeah, as i said with brexit, i in principle i think it was a good idea. i just don't think it's been carried out in the right way. >> is it still better than where we were before we left? would you what got over you take what we've got over remain? cottee, no, because remain? tony cottee, no, because i the gist of brexit was i think the gist of brexit was immigration, wasn't it? you know, and i think that was the people were moaning. a lot of people, particularly the older generation, generation,
