the extreme north`west of Scotland. Good spells of sunshine and always | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
foremost in the south. That will continue into next week as well. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good night. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me is the | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
political journalist and blogger, Susie Boniface, also known as the | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Fleet Street Fox, and Kiran Stacey, Political Correspondent for the | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Financial Times. Tomorrow's front pages. The Telegraph has a clear | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
warning from the Business Secretary Vince Cable: don't raise interest | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
rates. The Express says that a cure of Alzheimer's could be a reality in | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
just over a decade. Murdered for being Muslim is the Metro's headline | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
as police investigate the murder of a student stabbed to death in a | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
park. The Guardian focuses on Iraq as the government there asks the US | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
for air`strikes on ISIS insurgents in Tal Afar. More on Iraq in the FT | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
with the news that oil companies are evacuating staff from refineries | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
across the country. A political lead on the front of the Times, with two | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
polls that reportedly suggest voters do not think Ed Miliband would make | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
a good PM. A report in the Mirror suggests that levels of poverty in | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
Britain are increasing. And the Mail has news that Charles Taylor, the | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
warlord convicted of crimes in Sierra Leone and jailed by the Hague | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
for 50 years, is suing the government, saying his detention | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
here breaches his human rights. So let's begin. | :01:27. | :01:38. | |
We are going with the i. Miliband to abolish jobseeker's allowance for | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
the young and he is standing there with his fist clenched. Is this in | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
getting tough on benefits? a bacon sandwich in his mouth. He is | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
doing the funny fest that politicians do. They are doing it | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
for emphasis. They are trained to do it. They say we don't like people | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
pointing because it feels offensive. Instead, you do this, | :02:08. | :02:07. | |
which looks like positive, though it is punchy. It is | :02:08. | :02:18. | |
a media training thing. It is like when they do this at the dispatch | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
box. Stick with this allowance. When we spoke on | :02:21. | :02:45. | |
this I got told off for taking too long. Three key policies. If you are | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
under 22 and you don't have low skills `` if you have low skills, | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
you won't get the allowance. You only get a high rate of the | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
allowance, 71 pounds per week if you have done five years of paying | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
insurance. Young people can't claim housing benefit. Well done. There | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
you go. Not as punchy as the Tories who is a ?35,000 cap as a whole for | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
your benefits. That is the problem. Will it get around the voters who | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
feel Labour have been soft on the benefit issue? If you think Labour | :03:28. | :03:28. | |
are soft on benefits, then probably isn't going to restore your | :03:29. | :03:39. | |
faith. You think it is hot air. If you think Labour should support the | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
welfare state, it might make you think about whether you want to | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
the Times shows, he has terrible personal ratings and is less popular | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
than Nick Clegg. We have just moved on to the Times if you want to bring | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
it up. Not up to the top job, say voters. Pressure part of a leader. | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
Interestingly, a poll shows that 49% of voters think he should be | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
replaced. 43% of Labour voters think he should be replaced. 43%? That is | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
his own side. They feel that this is what... You are taking the mickey | :04:23. | :04:31. | |
out of politicians. I am going to notice this. Alan Johnston, the main | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
rival to be the Labour leader at some point in future has said that | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
aired isn't able to connect with people very well. In the same way | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
that his brother could have done, who of course was... It isn't his | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
strong point. People aren't enthusiastic about it. It isn't his | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
policies, his technical ideas about the economy or restoring faith in | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
benefits, the problem is he cannot get across to people that they | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
should like him. Being PM is basically flirting your way into | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
Downing Street, pleasing people all the time, making people think you | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
like them. I would rather flirt with a lamppost. I would be more | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
successful. You would rather vote for a lamppost than Ed Miliband? | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
Could it get any worse? They won't ditch him now. It is too late. What | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
can they do? They have David Axelrod in. He got a black man, Hussain, to | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
lead the most him Porton country on the face of the earth. Surely, he | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
could get a lamppost voted in. I am not sure that Miliband and Barack | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
Obama are not quite the same. Not quite the same message of hope. | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
David Axelrod two days per month, who cannot spell Ed Miliband's name | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
correctly . It is clear that there is an open goal that if the Labor | :06:11. | :06:19. | |
leader, 18,000 without adequate housing, many living in damp | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
housing, and if this is true, with the gap between rich and poor | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
widening, it is easy for anyone in opposition under these circumstances | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
to come up with policies like this, connecting with enough people, | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
millions, and Ed Miliband is not doing this. Everyone is saying it is | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
easy. These people aren't stupid. What is going on? If they can't kick | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
the ball into the open goal. The same as with the England team, it is | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
a matter of inspiration and the person at the top getting everyone | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
together, firing them up and getting them think they can win. The people | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
who vote are doing OK. These are the people who have houses and they see | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
the prices rise. These are people having a good time because of low | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
interest rates, people with jobs. Admittedly, wages have not gone up | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
quickly. Though they have jobs still. These people see the glass | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
half full, rather than half empty. Is that the problem ? Labour are | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
ahead in the polls. They should be further ahead. I am not sure... | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
There are two versions, interpretations of what is gone | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
wrong. He is to left`wing. When there is a right`wing chant Allah, | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
Ed Miliband is on the wrong side of the debate. `` Chancellor. All that | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
does is help his own side, people who will vote for him anyway. The | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
other problem, they aren't mutually exclusive, whatever he says, people | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
don't listen. He doesn't have the sex appeal. No matter how good or | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
useful or useless the policies may be, they are technical, thoughtful, | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
academic. There isn't any passion or feeling. The energy price freeze was | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
eye`catching. Easy to understand. It worked. He hasn't got anything like | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
that on the other side, being tough on benefits, what will Labour do? | :08:38. | :08:49. | |
They think they can be in power because the coalition is unpopular | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
and if they play the numbers right, if they get a 35% share, they can be | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
in power. That is not the way to convince people. It is not the way | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
to have a democratic mandate. If it was the other Ed Miliband running | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
labour, given the economy is improving, given that anyone in | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
Labour is fighting the perception that they were responsible, 100% for | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
the economic crash of five years ago, would they do any better? I | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
don't think so. The polls we looked at suggest David Millar band would | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
do better. The problem with David is that he was too connected to the | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
past. He ran a campaign about being a continuity candidate `` David | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
Milliband. He is weird and geeky. He was supportive of the Iraq war. That | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
would be disastrous in the run`up to the election. I don't think he would | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
be a good idea. We need a woman, Yvette Cooper should step up to the | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
plate. I am sure she is watching tonight and not the other bloke on | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
Newsnight. What's his name? I have forgotten. There you go, step up to | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
the plate lady. The Telegraph. Vince Cable, don't raise interest rates, a | :10:15. | :10:24. | |
plea on bended knee to Mr Carney. It depends on the timeframe. We see | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
elsewhere, it looks like the Monetary Policy Committee, the Bank | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
of England's decision`making committee, is gearing up towards an | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
interest rate) and of the year. That is earlier than expected. `` | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
interest`rate rise. They want to ensure inflation doesn't build. | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
Vince Cable is worried about the number of people who are | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
overleveraged, they have borrowed a lot to buy their house. I have seen | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
in the Times, a study that showed people are borrowing 4`5 `6 even | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
seven times their salary to get a home in the south`east. The banks | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
are clamping down on that. And lot of people have borrowed at rock | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
bottom rates. If you are on a mortgage, you are paying a minimal | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
amount, you can do it, though, what does happen when interest rates rise | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
as Mac will you begin defaulting? I have just borrowed a lot, you just | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
fix. I am fixed, I am all right. Hopefully, I will be OK. The worry | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
is when people start to default. Mark Carney in Canada raised it a | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
little and left it there for a while to see what the market does. You can | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
always change things. Nothing major will happen overnight, it won't jump | :11:45. | :11:55. | |
to 14%. It will be gradual. A lot of this is shouting about something now | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
so that when it comes around, no one is surprised. You don't want to | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
shock the market. There have been minutes from a Bank of England | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
meeting saying they were surprised people were not more aware there | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
could be a possibility of a rise. It means, get used to the idea. It will | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
be a tiny 0.25% rise and it won't be the end of the world. The reason | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
this is happening and they are talking about interest rates is | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
because of rising house prices, which is because of George Osborne | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
's help to buy scheme. I think they would be rising anyway. Is something | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
they have not removed from the market. The first thing they should | :12:39. | :12:49. | |
do is cope Help to Buy. `` curb. They have a better chance of a | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
majority in 2015, they want them up as high as they came for the next | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
year. Speaking about feeling good, we know England will win by what, | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
5`6 mil? The stats. The point to an England win `` nil. Analysis | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
suggests England will win. This is how we tackle full ball on the | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
Financial Times. None of York press conferences at our Steven Gerard. | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
Simon Cooper, who is a brilliant writer on football and has written a | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
book about economics in soccer and why certain things happen, he has | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
come up with three statistics tell us why England will win `` your. The | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
last time Uruguay at beat a Western European site was in 1966. That is a | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
long time ago `` side. They have lost against Spain, Germany, France. | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
Argentina have the same problem. Simon Cooper says the problem is | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
that South American teams don't move the ball around quickly enough. | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
England are good at that, moving the ball around quickly. Very quickly. | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
England completed 91% of passes last week. The only reason they lost is | :14:06. | :14:14. | |
because 92% of passes were completed. He also missed the fact | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
that Uruguay have never beaten them in the World Cup. We did not talk | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
about Luis Suarez. It has been brilliant having you in, discussing | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
the important issues. Stay with us here, much more at the top of the | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
hour. It is time for World Cup Sportsday. | :14:32. | :14:34. |
