toppled in heavy rain. Country singer Dolly Parton says she feels | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
like a rock star after filling in the biggest crowd of Glastonbury so | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
far. Welcome to look ahead to what the | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are former government policy | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
adviser and academic and the independent Whitehall editor Ollie | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
White. Tomorrow's front pages. We start with the Financial Times, | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
claims officials in Berlin will do everything in their power to stop | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
the UK leaving the EU. David Cameron writes in the Telegraph that | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Britain's drive for EU reforms are on track. And he can do business | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
with Jean`Claude Juncker. Elton John joins the debate about gay members | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
of the clergy, saying in the Metro he believes Jesus would allow | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
same`sex priests to marry. The express claims the fairing taking a | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
state pension could leave thousands of people better off in the long | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
run. ` deferring. The Guardian 's main picture is of Dolly Parton, who | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
made her Glastonbury debut today. The Daily Mail, claims the Prince of | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
Wales try to influence former Labour ministers on a range of issues from | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
climate change to alternative medicine. The Times says plans to | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
merge income tax and National Insurance will be a key part of the | :01:29. | :01:44. | |
next Conservative manifesto. The German finance minister said it | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
would be unimaginable for the UK to leave the EU. One wonders what he | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
has in mind to stop us doing so. After the rows of last week everyone | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
is busy picking up their toys and brain to put them back in the pram. | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
Generally does not want the UK to leave because they would feel | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
isolated and under the control of the Mediterranean bloc, Italy, | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
Greece, Spain. It is in Germany's interest to try to persuade the | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
Brits to stay, do everything they want. We thought we would get their | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
help on Mr Juncker but that is not happen. Now you have him saying we | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
want you to be part of Europe, will do everything we can. It is part of | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
the consensus`building after last week. It is quite powerful some of | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
what he said, historically, politically, democratically, | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
culturally, with Britain is entirely indispensable for Europe, he says. ` | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
Great Britain. It's nice to know we're so needed in Europe, that we | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
have is friends who speaks highly of us after the spot of last week. He | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
won outright. ` us that. He has great consensus. He is an | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
integration on this. People are licking their winds after last week. | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
` weans. His comments come as the CBI business group says our economic | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
growth relies on our membership of the EU and Ed Miliband is pulling on | :03:16. | :03:24. | |
that as well. That is what big business and you can see the battle | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
lines being drawn for 2017 if indeed there is a referendum. It is very | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
clear that business, like they are beginning to do with the Scottish | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
referendum will, very strongly and say, leaving the EU will be | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
disastrous for British jobs, exports, and we may not like certain | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
things about the EU, but we are far better in than out. One of the | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
difficulties of the yes campaign, is people 's concerns about the EU, | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
about immigration. I don't think there is anything David Cameron | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
vehicle to get from the EU on free movement of people because that is | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
at the core of what Europe is about. You can see a referendum campaign | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
where Cameron is negotiating what is a decent settlement but doesn't hit | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
the key concern of voters. I think that would be a real problem. Let's | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
move on that day with this scene, the Daily Telegraph has David | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
Cameron writing in it tomorrow. ` theme. Declaring he can do business | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
with Jean`Claude Juncker, insisting his drive for European reform is on | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
track as she was saying. The interpersonal are still good, and | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
there has been the same court today, much being made of the fact the two | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
gentlemen have kissed and made up in political terms. Exactly, ready to | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
move on and keep fighting. Nevertheless they are friends. They | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
have this issue but they have made friends in political terms. Exactly, | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
ready to move on and keep fighting. Nevertheless they are friends. They | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
have this issue but they have made friends and they are it is most the | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Prime Minister is going to do with this in different ways, it is more | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
amicable. ` it is nice. There will be lots of meetings and between | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
summits. ` in between. It is damaging for Mr Juncker to have had | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
such bad press, especially in the British press. On some level we need | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
to make amends. We need to know what he says. One of the interesting | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
things, this has been portrayed as a humiliation of Cameron, two against | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
the rest. One thing it has done for him, it has proved within that | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
format that he is prepared to have a fight, to stand up, and to walk | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
away. And when we get renegotiation that is an important thing to have | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
done. He did stick it for several days despite very negative | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
attention. Europe has always tended to go on consensus, people backing | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
down at the last moment. By not doing that it sends a powerful | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
message. He is quoted here as saying this was all about making sure he | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
would be taking seriously in negotiations ticking forward. The | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
quote is anyone in Europe who thought I was going to back down is | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
now thinking again. He is playing this as a victory for the tough man | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
of Europe. I think there is some truth in that. He was put in an | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
unenviable situation he was going to lose so he had to decide what he | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
would do. Would he walk away quietly or take this stand and portray it as | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
a principled stand which I'm not convinced ever was. It does have a | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
slightly useful negotiating stance coming into 2017. We'll see how it | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
plays out. Let's turn our attention to the Telegraph 's main story. The | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
Princess battle for grammar schools. This is tied up with the BBC Radio 4 | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
documentary which has been hearing from former Labour minister saying | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
they were urged by Prince Charles on various issues to reconsider their | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
positions. Many people getting quite agitated do the future king may have | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
something to say on these matters. If of years after the fact it is | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
interesting comments come out a documentary where the prince | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
consulted Labour ministers, on policies including climate change | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
and GM foods, in addition to grammar schools. We've always known this has | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
happened in the Prince has been very vocal about different issues, | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
whether in letters to government ministers, that we've only just | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
heard about or other issues. He is a very vocal monarch. Monarchy is | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
constitutional and we have these issues with how much you can | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
interfere with different ministers. It is interesting it is coming out | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
now. The other point as he has been spectacularly. In a way that is | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
reassuring. He can say what he likes but these people... There is quite a | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
nice quote by Blunkett saying he didn't mind the intervention. If you | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
are waiting around to be king of the UK you generally have to you engage | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
or you would go spare. There is something to be said, some people | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
get very irritated and say he has no role in any of these issues but | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
other people say what is he to do, he has ideas and division, what is | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
to stop him saying. No one has to do what he says, he has no leverage to | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
say you must. He is just saying what he was to say. He is the patron of a | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
large number of charities representing a raft of different | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
sections of society. Let him say what he likes. He has a good point, | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
venison to it. He seemed quite relaxed about it. This is a | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
democracy, everyone has that right. He is a monarch in waiting and it | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
has been decades. It is nice he is engaged. On some level we should | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
appreciate that. The Guardian giving us a bit of sparkly Dolly Parton, | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
she has been playing at Glastonbury. Their main story, | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
Labour offers olive branch to business. Ed Balls, and Ed Miliband, | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
both making speeches this week as they try to win business. Ed Balls | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
going to be talking about potential low corporation tax. ` woo business. | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
Trying to get their credibility back up with the business community. | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
Talking to business people who have attended these events as a charm | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
offensive. Both Miliband, Chuka Umunna, to a lesser extent Ed Balls | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
get a frosty reception from business, the whole thing about the | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
energy price freeze went down very badly. This is an attempt to say we | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
will not be as unfriendly to business as you might think. For | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
example, they went met and with the corporation tax rate which has come | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
down significantly over the last few years under the coalition. They will | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
keep it as it is. They don't seem to be offering in the story anything | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
new other than reassurance we will not cover you with extra taxes. I'm | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
not sure, on the basis of this, he will win many hearts and minds in | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
the city. I agree, saying you're going to maintain the rate is not | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
exactly a new policy. Or a very extrovert policy, it is sticking to | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
what we have, suggesting it is a good policy. It also talks about | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
more power to local government but we already have a decentralised | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
world, we have given lots of money to local government and lots of | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
policy initiatives. What is new potentially is the quota of | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
government contracts to small companies, that sounds like a | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
procurement edge. That is something this government is trying to do with | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
recruitment, why should they do something and give lots of money to | :10:10. | :10:18. | |
Hewlett`Packard etc. `` procurement. It is probably quite sensible. If we | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
talking about potential policy proposals being unveiled by labour | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
we have two touch on the critique that has come from Jon Cruddas who | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
has been saying I've had lots of good ideas on policy and nobody is | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
putting forward. How devoted are the Labour Party on this issue? It has | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
been running all we can. `` divided. It's interesting with this | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
leak of what John Part is said in a private forum. Lots of interesting | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
ideas. `` John Cruddas. It is not what people want to hear. Despite | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
the fact he has spent well over a gay talking about these new policies | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
were supposed to be interested in, it `` well over a year. You wonder | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
what is going on in terms of the policy review. If you are John | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
Cruddas you do not go into a public meeting and say stuff like that if | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
you don't expect to be recorded. The Tories have people going into these | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
meetings, one in ten days. You shouldn't say those things. Ed Balls | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
was on the Andrew Marr show today saying he is frustrated, he spends | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
hours. Ed Balls would be furious, so would Miliband. They will be furious | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
not necessarily they don't know what he thinks but he has been stupid not | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
to say it in public and be recorded doing so. It's a great story but not | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
brilliant for the Labour Party machine. The express has how to get | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
a bigger pension pay`out, suggesting thousands of victims could double | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
their income from their savings by putting up taking a state pension. | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
How is this going to work? `` putting. I'm not sure I completely | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
understand this. It's something about, but all comes from the budget | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
where you didn't need to buy an annuity. You put your pension pot | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
you give it to a company, and they say we will pay you however much | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
year until you die. George Osborne says you don't need to do that any | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
more. This is saying you take a pension pot and you spend it for the | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
first few years. Blow it on a Ferrari lifestyle. Take a nice | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
holiday. During that time, this is where I use it, your state pension | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
will go up by 10.4% each year it is deferred, plus an extra 5% living | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
costs. At the end of the five year when you have blown your pension pot | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
you can get your state pension and it will be bigger because it was | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
deferred. I think that is what it is. Nicely explained. Thank you very | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
much. They have a big typeface in the express, it sounds exciting but | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
perhaps you need to look at your own finances and see if it would really | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
work for you. A simpler story if we return to the Telegraph, this will | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
make people laugh. Tucked away at the bottom and the sparkly Dolly | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
picture, Britain arcs America to end their ban on haggis. `` asks. Did we | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
know there was a ban on haggis? Some people may vaguely remember this | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
happened, I wasn't aware, I've had vegetarian haggis and it's | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
fantastic. All it might be nice for community relations. I think there | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
is something in this. This is all about Whitehall and London saying, | :13:26. | :13:38. | |
we are better together, we have allowed the Americans, if you go off | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
online you will not be able to sell your haggis. `` clout with. Thank | :13:43. | :13:52. | |
you for joining us. We will have more for you in the next hour, when | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
we look more closely at some of those stories. We will be back at | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
11pm, GPs with a poor record in detecting cancer could be named | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
