06/07/2014 The Papers

Goodness me, what is happening?! We are a peer! With me, James Lyons and

David Ho, and we are gone to race through the papers, because we

haven't got long, half the normal length of time. We start with the

Daily Telegraph, no preferential treatment, shaming cancer GPs, risk

to NHS, the idea that GPs who failed to refer patients for cancer

treatment in a timely manner are going to be named and shamed. The

article says it will have a bad impact on the NHS. Yeah, totally,

part of Jeremy Hunt's attempt to get cancer referrals lifted up in the

NHS, and so he has issued these new rules which the doctors are very

concerned about, saying, look, it will overwhelm surgeries. They'll

say that if you punish doctors for using their judgments not to refer

cases, when they do have cancer later, you will have doctors

referring all cases straightaway, which will make it much worse. The

article makes the point that the Department of Health says too many

cases are diagnosed in A when you go about something else. Yes, and

there are issues about the resources available in the NHS, and it is good

to see the David Caro graph `` Daily Telegraph rowing in behind public

sector workers! I am sure you will be backing the teachers and public

sector workers on strike later this week. We will be reporting it,

certainly, but this is important for readers, rather than a personal

political preference. We haven't got time for this level of joshing! The

SNP retribution threat to pro`UK firms, if business leaders speak out

against independence, there will be some comeuppance, I don't know what

sort, do you? Well, they have not spelt it out, but this is the nasty

side of the Nationalists, and it comes back to something we have seen

in various guises. I am sure there are excellent Scottish Nationalists

who campaign solely on issues, but there is an awful lot of personal

abuse as well. I know a colleague who wrote about the worries that

business had about Scotland breaking away, he receives, you know, a lot

of vilification, and some of the SNP supporters were involved. And we saw

JK Rowling being attacked on Twitter when she said she wanted Britain to

stay together. It is more serious than that, although they were very

upsetting comments, this is threatening contracts and people's

livelihoods and jobs. Ian McKellen runs CBI Scotland, and he has been

saying he is not in favour of independence on behalf of the CBI,

and they say it is a threat to livelihoods. The Metro, GPs put on

alert over the Ebola virus, there has been an outbreak in West

Africa, and obviously people coming back to carry the virus and not

realise they have it. It says the risk is actually very small, very

slight. The virus is only found in certain parts of Africa, West

Africa, Sierra Leone and in particular. You have to have been

there to be at risk. A brave attempt to get in the fact that the

Commonwealth Games is going to be held in Glasgow, suggesting it might

be spreading it across Britain! I think we can sleep easy in our beds

this evening. The Public Health England people think so too. The

Guardian, ministers push for law to track phone use, this keeps cropping

up, the snoopers' charter. Any excuse, Theresa May says we must

monitor everything that happens anywhere in Britain, and we see the

Lib Dems pop up and say, not on our watch. I think there will be a

report from the committee in parliament, which the Tories will

use as another attempt to shoehorn this through. Nick Clegg will be

delighted, it gives them a chance to disagree with David Cameron. The

suggestion is that it would be a log of phone calls, texts, internet

usage. Every click, if you are playing a computer game, they will

be monitoring it, the companies will have to store what you have done.

The envelope, not the letter, where you are contacting, not the content

of the message. Do they call it mattered a day? They might do, it is

a big word. `` metadata. It is only an eighth letter word! So this is

never going to happen? The Lib Dems will not allow it. It is the phoney

war head of next May. Should we allow it to happen? If we want to be

protected, going on, and he says there is a

dangerous complacency in Britain, coming up to the anniversary of the

7/7 attacks, and since then there has been no widespread bombing

attacks, and he says people need to wake up and realise. He has seen the

concerns. Let's look at page five of the Daily Express, white top US film

bosses are fighting for space in our studios, very busy studios in our

country, but this article does not tell me why. That is James on the

right, battling Alex Salmond! This is actually down to George

Osborne's tax breaks, James won't want to talk about that, bringing

more movie`making to the country. It looks like something from George

Osborne, absolutely no figures in it at all! That is a little bit harsh,

I have read the article! Says the studios are expanding. But the

article did not tell me why this is happening, maybe we will do a little

bit deeper! Whistle`stop papers, James and Christopher, it is Sunday,

will be back with us at 11:25 for a look at the stories making the

morning newspapers. A lot of laughing in the gallery, I don't

know why! Join us then, see you later.

Good evening. I think we can keep the weekend weather themes going

through into the first part of the
