Happy New Year, everybody. Home, Darren, Ben. Right, come on. Miriam. Come on

You can join us at home. Make sure you stand up in your front room. I'm just going to move this deck around the person's hat this year
0:15
Okay, are we ready? Well, I probably am. What are you doing? Come on, Miriam
0:20
I've never brought too much. I love the music bed. She'll hold it away to speak
0:29
Forgotten in the days of Auld Lang Syne We've got it! Miriam, get us there
0:37
She's quite slow! Auld Lang Syne, my dear For Auld Lang Syne
0:45
We'll drink a cup of kindness yet For the sake of Auld Lang Syne
0:54
And surely you will buy a cup And surely I'll buy mine
1:03
We'll take a cup of kindness yet For the sake of auld lang syne
1:12
Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Happy New Year There you go, that was our best attempt, everybody
1:19
I've had some very strange moments on GB News in the last few years
1:23
So that was definitely one of the waiting. That's the second time you've done that. Happy New Year, everybody
1:27
Let's go now to ring in 2026 with GB News presenter Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg
1:33
who probably accompanied us there on Auld Lang Syne. Jacob, so good to see you
1:39
And too many Rees-Mogs with you there. Happy New Year, everybody. Very happy New Year to you all
1:46
We admired your singing greatly, much better than the Rees-Mogg standard of singing
1:50
How have you spent New Year's Eve in your house? We've had dinner
1:55
Anunciata has been with me, who's a regular pair on GB News
1:59
My mother, Nanny, lots of children. Anunciata's family as well. So we've had a very nice time this evening
2:07
What is served at the Rees Mugs on New Year Eve We had the most delicious beef wellington It was absolutely fantastic and perfectly cooked Can we talk to your gorgeous children there Jacob
2:22
Who's this in the front? In the front, it's Alfred. Alfred, do you want to say hello to GB News viewers
2:29
And your beautiful daughter behind? Hello. Hello, both. Hello. Have you had a lovely Christmas as well, both of you
2:37
What did you get for Christmas? Were you spoiled? Did Father Christmas spoil you over Christmas
2:42
We were spoiled and a Dalmatian turned up. Oh! Oh, wow. A puppy
2:50
Yes, a puppy. Pongo. Oh, wow. Alfred came with me to choose it
2:56
Oh, lovely. Oh, that is a dreamy Christmas present. Sorry, Sir Jakey, what's it called? Quango
3:02
No, not Quango. It's called Reginald Twistleton Twistleton. And those of you who know your P.G. Woodhouse
3:08
will know that his nickname was Pongay. No, it's not Pongay. He's from 101 Galatians
3:14
Obviously from Woodpast. It was Quango, Jacob. Brilliant. So, Jacob, you famously never changed a nappy
3:21
Will you be cleaning up after the dog? Well, fortunately, Nan is still on duty
3:25
and she's always pleased to look after dogs. She adores dogs. Definitely
3:31
And, Jacob, let's just talk politically for a moment. What do you think 2026 has in store for the country
3:38
I think it's very exciting. I think we'll get a new Prime Minister and a new Chancellor, but we're getting a revival of the right, that the combined vote of reform and the Conservatives is going up
3:50
Nigel continues to do very well. Kimmy Baden-Ock's going from strength. Well, he's doing better and better and revitalising the Tory brand
3:58
And if you put the Tories and reform together, we're getting towards 50% of the vote. So very positive for conservatism. The Labour Party is in utter mess, utter chaos
4:08
and I'm afraid from the point of view of the country it's going to be a very tricky year
4:12
Yeah. Jacob, one of your daughters famously has gone over to reform
4:18
I've only got one. Well, yes, yes, yes. I haven't replaced her with another one
4:23
for her infamous desertion. The best one the best one the best one And what I have to ask is how do you think actually you bring a family together if there are political allegiances that go against each other
4:39
Well, I think we're all part of the large Tory family, whether we're in Reform or Conservative Party
4:46
We're all broadly Tories. Oh, well, boo. As a Reform councillor. No, look, listen, I think actually the Tory party have had the day
4:57
They have shown that actually, I think on everything, that fellow from Egypt, whose name I totally forget
5:04
The Tory of Fatah. Oh, well done, Mr Fatah. Some of us present news programs
5:08
Well, that's true, yes. One of us doesn't anymore, actually. Thanks to me, might I say
5:14
The Tories sealed that deal. Jacob, any advice for budding politicians? Remember the names of people in the news
5:20
I think I've got two budding politicians with me, one sitting on my lap and the other sitting immediately
5:26
oddly, to my left, in spite of her having joined reform. We should have orchestrated it better, I think
5:32
because Mary's definitely on my right. But this is very encouraging. The young are all quite right-wing
5:38
Yeah, very. Very, very, very. And in the background, Anselm is nodding vigorously
5:44
agreeing that the young aren't old pinkos. Yeah, right. We wish you all a very happy Christmas
5:50
Give it up to Anansiata as well, Jacob, won't you? And we will see you very soon
5:56
Happy New Year. Happy New Year. Happy New Year, guys. Happy New Year, guys
5:59
Happy New Year. Right, well, from the sublime to the ridiculous, we're now going to talk to Darren Grimes' mum and Nana
6:06
Yes. Hi, Mother of Nana. There they are. Hi. Happy New Year
6:10
Happy New Year. That's my beautiful Nana. You know, she's 91. She's 91
6:17
Not me, me man. No, my mother is the one sat next to her there
6:23
And my mum, I signed up, and actually the man behind her is my little brother
6:28
And we signed them up as a party, as paper candidates in the local elections
6:34
And they won. And my mother is now the vice chair of Durham County Council
6:39
Well, can we ask a question? Yes, of course we can. Darren mum what the biggest challenge you had getting into politics as an ordinary person What the biggest challenge for you I don know who on the floor Do you know what We have at County Durham
6:53
we have such an amazing team. Nothing has been a challenge at the moment
7:00
And Darren, will your nan perhaps stand as well? Maybe she could stand for election too
7:05
Well, I would love it if she did. I mean, those curtains, she's sort of going in a reform direction
7:09
She's doing me proud. She's doing me proud. You know, she's an amazing woman
7:15
She has brought up five of her kids. She's got more grandchildren than I can count right now
7:20
And ultimately, you know, that family are so together. You know, people say to me, Bev, I don't know
7:27
they say, what do you do about arguments over the dinner table at Christmas
7:31
Well, we don't have any because we all agree with each other. That's so lovely
7:36
Dan? Jackie. Can I just... Happy New Year. What's the naughtiest thing Darren did in 2025
7:46
Oh, there's that many. Where do you start that? Where's our strawberry shit
7:53
Was it lowering the pride flag over Celtic? No, can I tell you what it is
7:57
Can I tell you what is it? It was leaving GB News, so I dropped the salary
8:00
and she didn't get a bottle of rosé champagne this Christmas. She loves the rosé champagne
8:06
Yes, that's it. It was shocking. See, I told you. Jackie, do you think Darren should come back
8:12
to the Saturday Five every now and then? What do you think about that? Do you know what a wonderful column
8:17
we have on tonight on GB News? You know, GB News is such a
8:22
wonderful news channel and, you know, I wish you all the best
8:28
You're so amazing. Happy New Year, Jackie. The Grimes family. Happy New Year
8:34
Happy New Year to you all. My uncle's behind them as well
8:38
and my uncle stood as well. I basically signed up my whole family. You've taken over
8:42
Someone at one point said, oh, my goodness, it's like the Durham Mafia. Well, for every show..
8:46
Well, it's like always for every show that I gain, you gain another member of your family and support
8:51
There he is, there he is, my Uncle Tony. He looks a lot like my grandad, who's the mind behind him
8:57
Oh, yeah. Hello, Uncle Tony. Happy New Year, all of you. Right, Happy New Year, guys. Anyway, thank you so much
9:01
Love you lots. See you soon. Thank you so much
