29/09/2014 The Papers

season. And find out where the ball that won the Ryder Cup is being

safely kept. That is all staying in 15 minutes after the newspapers. ``

that is all in sports day, in 15 minutes, after the newspapers.

Welcome to the look ahead to what the newspapers will be bringing us

tomorrow morning. Louise Cooper and Michael Booker

joining us. We will begin with the Independent,

the Chancellor's benefits freeze is a calculator gamble, to attract

conservative and Ukip but it will affect many people in work.

That is a flavour of the front pages, dipping into some of them

now. We will kick off with the Independent, a lot of newspapers

concentrating on the Conservative Party conference. Independent is one

of them. Osborne ultimatum, give us a flavour of the coverage. He spoke

in the morning, a number of the right`wing papers have not put him

on the front pages but it is interesting that both the Guardian

and the Independent, the left`wing newspapers, have done. Both quite

critical pieces, not surprisingly. As the Independent says, Osborne

ultimatum, two`year freeze in working age benefits, saving 3

billion. Critics question whether it is the fairest way to fix the

deficit. What I would say about this, yes, the Coalition Government

has brought down the deficit. That is the difference between spending

and taxation each year. But, debt is still going up. It is going up quite

rapidly. This year, we are expected to create ?100 billion of new UK

Government debt. In fact it is going to take decades before we get to a

surplus where we can begin to pay back that debt. We saw some figures

last week, which showed that in fact, the deficit was worse than

expected. The economic recovery is not benefiting the nation 's

finances as much as many people think. It is brutal and harsh, but

he is... This is the state of the financial affairs of the country...

They are still dire. What about the political risk he is taking?

Independent has hinted at that. They have had problems in the past few

weeks. With Ukip, defections. We are tough on the deficit and good on the

economy, they are pulling very well on the economy, we are told. It is

key that he wants to keep on talking about the deficit. It is a gamble,

as the Independent and the Guardian are still saying. It is gloomy news,

conference is about things in the future, Dodo X `` Dodo eggs and

unicorn tears! Ed Miliband forgot the deficit last week, George

Osborne, he made a joke about that. It is core Conservative voters, as

it says in the Independent. He says the measure will be popular with

natural conservatives thinking of drifting off. He has the Ukip

voters, the conservative voters that he has gone forward this. I work the

express, I think our readers, conservative, this will appeal to

them. He does look like action man! I think, maybe, a thinner

Chancellor, austerity Britain! This haircut, I think that he has had a

preconference haircut, they have taken a little bit too much. You

know when they go to the hairdresser and you just want a good value

haircut that lasts a long time. I think he should have gone to the

hairdresser a couple of weeks ago. Looks like he has left room for

growth. Roman centurion look, Roman emperor, George Clooney had that. I

did not get the impression George Clooney was having an austerity

wedding! LAUGHTER Continuing the theme of the

Chancellor, take us to the front of the Financial Times. They have

decided to focus upon what he has said about big companies and how

much tax they have. Talking about the 3.3 billion which will hit

poorer families. The little guy, but also, careful to have a go at the

big guy as well, Osborne taking on big tech groups over tax avoidance.

It has already been dubbed Google tax. Having a go large

multinationals, some companies have gone to extraordinary lengths to pay

little or no tax. He says, if you abuse the tax system, you abused the

trust of the British people. Stories about the large companies coming

over here, and not paying a great deal of tax. All of the companies

that grow up in this country. Did not mention Google by name but we

know what they are getting at. It is great, it is a great quote, low

taxes but low taxes that are paid. This requires international

cooperation. It is not just happen by yourself. Therefore it is quite

good news that the European Commission is expected to unveil

today details of a case against Ireland, because of their very

favourable tax treatment for Apple. The trouble, when Ireland was going

bust, and required bailing out from the rest of Europe, that would have

been the moment to say to them, look, your local tax rate, the

dealings you have, make it an further the rest of Europe. At that

time, the powers that be decided it should not happen. It is very

difficult to impose that kind of fiscal mandate from centrally

organised Brussels or anywhere else. In a difficult economic environment,

countries compete with each other to attract companies. Without

international cooperation, very difficult to crack down on Google,

Apple, Amazon... Google, Apple, Twitter and Microsoft declined to

comment... All of them looking at their shoes when the phone call came

in! One line in here... Looking ahead to the speech from David

Cameron, halfway down the first column, talking about the freeze on

benefits. Attacked by Labour as unfair, but there was speculation

that the Prime Minister David Cameron would use his speech to

offer a tax cut for the same working families... Take with one hand, give

with the other... Little sweeties, during conference season. Obviously,

he has a speech coming up on Wednesday, he has got to say

something positive, he would like to go out with a bang, particularly

with Ukip hovering around, looking for more defections. It could get

that, could be the thing every B remembers afterwards. Quite a Tory

idea, cutting taxes to give people their personal responsibility,

rather than tax them and give their money back on welfare. Doctors to

open seven days a week, care when it is needed, pledge the Tories.

Another reference to what we are hearing out of Birmingham. This is

what is expected to be said tomorrow. The express looking

forward as a newspaper. Not looking backward, like the Guardian and the

Independent. Must be a brilliant editor, who could that be? Not me!

LAUGHTER Makes a lot of sense, if you work,

how on earth can you go and see a GP without taking time off work?

Especially if you have got to travel a long way and your GP is near your

home... But you commute to work. My husband commutes 90 minutes into

work, and he cannot afford that time to take off work, he cannot afford

the travel time either. This makes a lot of sense but I question the cost

at ?400 million. Difficult kids as well, when we have tried to a son or

daughter into a GP, we are told there is an appointment next week,

that is never good enough. Lots of people then put pressure on accident

and emergency. This is what they are trying to avoid. Pressure on AMD

departments. `` A They will also introduce Skype sessions. It is

known as telecare! LAUGHTER People, older people, they will not

want to speak with a doctor on Skype, while he's watching Downton

Abbey on a Sunday night... They want to go to see their doctor. ?400

million does not sound like an awful lot of money. You would expected to

be more money. I know that GPs get paid good wages, also it is the

out`of`hours care. So many instances in my personal life, friends that I

know, it makes a big difference, that you see the doctor that knows

you. Because the human body is quite a compensated thing. Often... It is

an off chance remark that will get to the right diagnosis. That

requires time in front of a doctor that knows you. I would like to hope

that these will not just be out`of`hours care, provided by

doctors that do not speak English terribly well. The timetable would

be included in the party election manifesto, if that leads to a

Conservative victory, we are talking about money going into the NHS to

ensure all week access by 2020. Hopes and pledges once again. The

Telegraph, the front page, obviously covering that, but on the right`hand

side, extremists will have Facebook and Twitter vetted by police.

Theresa May will have her speech vetted by the Home Secretary, laying

out plans to do various things. We have the terrorist threat level

raised recently. Post on Facebook and Twitter will have to be approved

in advance. That sounds like a good idea because it is a new front in

the war on terrorists, social media, it has been a relatively recent

thing. Obviously we have seen IS and other organisations using it to get

recruits. It will be interesting to see how they can police it, it seems

unpoliced bill at the moment. Judges banning broadcasting and protesting

in certain places... The government does not have a great track record

in IT project! One or two expensive ones have gone wrong. MPs have

barely taken to Twitter and those that have done, have got themselves

in trouble! LAUGHTER I'm sceptical about what they can

actually achieve. Clearly, Theresa May will stand up in her glamorous

shoes and she will aim for the top job in her speech. Staying with the

Telegraph, final minute, world has lost half its animals in 40 years.

Very careless(!) LAUGHTER Deforestation, destruction...

Hunting... Just throw it out there... Slightly controversial

view. I have a 5 `year`old son... I'm always slightly worried when

told it is a controversial view. My son likes is dinosaurs, he has been

to a lot of exhibitions. There has been a handful of mass extinctions

on the planet in the past. We are up to 90% of the Earth 's species have

been worked out entirely. In fact, it was the dinosaur mass extinction

which allowed the rise of the mammal, and for human beings to

evolve and dominate the planet! So I just wonder... Maybe, if this is the

sixth mass extinction, the demise of human beings, perhaps there could be

another super being created in the next 100 million news! LAUGHTER

Shall we politely move on... ? Go back to the story, ignore me

entirely! Super beings knocking about, this could be fantastic! The

WWF are saying it is a serious thing, living planet report. Blaming

humans. Forests cut down, sees overfished. It is what we have been

told over and over again. It is not seem to be an alternative. Perhaps

in one hour 's time we will have more thoughts on that. Maybe not. By

that time I'm going to be a super being!
