Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

With me are the former Sunday Express editor Eve Pollard

Many leading on the defeat on tax credits in the House of Lords. The

Times calls it a humiliating defeat. The Guardian say that a rapid review

of the House of Lords is being launched. The daily Mirror along

with many papers pictures the Duchess of Cambridge and Daniel

Craig at the premiere of the latest James Bond movie. In the Daily Mail

it says service men have been banned from joining a rally over a Royal

Marine jailed for a battlefield murder. The daily express has the

processed meat-macro story. And the Financial Times covers the story

about a 15-year-old arrested over the TalkTalk cyber attack. The big

story, drama in the House of Lords. That in itself would be a headline!

Often you are watching and nodding off but in the mother of all

Parliaments it is the mother and father of an argument. In the

Guardian, PM's warning to peers after tax rebellion. It has become

interesting. The House of Lords thing has become interesting. They

fired half the hereditary is and it was going so well and in the last

few months since the election, various people have gone to the

House of Lords people are wondering what they are doing. I don't

understand why there are so many more. 100 Lib Dem peers, which seems

crazy where there are only eight MPs. The important people are those

who are going to suffer. To be fair what George Osborne has said is, I

have listened, I am listening, and I intend to help through a transition

period. He has more or less been forced with the result of one of the

votes tonight. Nicky Morgan said yesterday... The Education

Secretary. Nothing could be worse than worrying about... You are not

well paid and losing more than ?1000. I would be more concerned

about this government and George Osborne's Fiori if this government

has lifted a finger to reform the House of Lords. Went over the past

six years they have. -- they have not done anything. If there were a

Coalition Government still, would we be having this debate this evening?

This is where you land up. He says, I'm listening, and I can still

achieve what I want to achieve. My question is, why were you not

achieving it before all this? We can look at the Guardian newspaper. PM

warning to peers. It is two stories, the tax credit and the policy that

affects people, but the constitutional issue. They are not

elected. Often they have been people the voters have said no thank you,

we don't want you, and they are sent up to the House of Lords. It is

quite funny, really. It does seem a mess and if you know anybody in the

House of Lords, they say there is no room for them. There seems to be

thousands of them. It has not really interested David Cameron and George

Osborne. House of Lords reform is a dull subject until something like

this happens and the world explodes. They were not supposed to

adjudicate on something about money. Since 1911. He is in a situation, I

mean they have only just created a whole new raft of peers. And now he

is saying we have to do have constitutionally a reconsideration

of this matter. Will he put in a lot more. Or throw some out?

Defenestration would be fun to watch! The House of Lords has been a

mess since they got rid of the hereditary peers, who were slightly

barking but some were great experts. Indeed. I take it you are not

looking for places on those red benches. I would like the Ermine.

Very flattering! The Financial Times, a lot of people will say,

what?! We can only do the basic facts of the rest in the TalkTalk

case, but it is extraordinary. These are torrid and now embarrassing

times for TalkTalk. Yes, this 15-year-old and goodness knows what

that is all about. The share price of TalkTalk, people are talking

about the future of this company at all. He is a 15-year-old arrested in

Northern Ireland with a joint operation between police on both

sides of the water. But 15-year-olds are geniuses at computers. There was

another boy we gladly did not send to America who got into the CIA or

American army or something. They are geniuses at this. TalkTalk's

reputation. They sent up the warnings and said things are

terrible and then they say they are being blackmailed. And the poor old

chief executive said no system is free from vulnerabilities. It is

worrying. We do so much stuff online, I hope this makes everybody

check their security. There has been an excuse to do that. We are

rattling on. We might have more time at 11:30pm. The daily express, your

old newspaper group. They love stories about house prices, weather

and food. I did not use to do many of those. 75 years ago! Circulation

of over 3 billion. Interesting. We are told to follow a Mediterranean

diet. As far as I know the Mediterranean diet is full of ham,

salami, and yet we are told -- circulation of 3 million. And now we

are told these will kill us. But used to be like that. They are not

saying it directly causes cancer, it can add to the risk. The daily

express says foods like hotdogs bacon will be placed in the same

category as plutonium and smoking as things that definitely cause cancer.

I guess as all things it is moderation. I suppose if you have

bacon this week it will not affect you, but if you have it every day...

I was offered a sausage baguette. BBC canteen? No. On a Virgin train.

I said no. I have read the daily express and I will not have it! He

looked at me askance. I had always had it in the past. I was talking in

an interview with a chap from America who has done a lot of work

on it and he said that that being a vegetarian is not good. What is

left. Red wine! People will look at this and say hang on. People eat a

vast amount of this, no matter what the warnings. A bit of it probably

does not hurt you and there is probably an enormous difference in

the quality between some sausages and others and some bacon and

others. People have been curing meat ever since time began and that is

how it lasted through the winter and how you survived. There are GPs, my

former GP now retired, said to me, what you need, David, is a good full

English breakfast to cheer you up. I always remember that advice. He has

retired, he is in good health? Very good health, I think. Let's get to

serious matters. The Telegraph. A lovely picture of the Duchess of

Cambridge looking fabulous. She is at the premiere at the Albert Hall,

an interesting place to have it. You can squash a lot of people in there.

Likewise on the front of The Daily Record, Monica Baluchi, 51. --

Belluci. I am surprised you are not there. I am occasionally lucky to go

to premiers. But it is much nicer to be wearing an old pair of jeans in

the back-seat with your old People tell me there is too much

violence in this film. It has been given five stars by everybody. And

Sam Mendez, the last James Bond was a one. -- Mendes. He is a good

director. He definitely is. I can tell you the ones I have seen every

Christmas. Goldfinger, how many Christmas is running? I will stick

with Daniel Craig. He does not look like a man who eats too many bacon

sandwiches. Thank you very much. That is it from the papers this

hour. We will take another look at them at 11:30pm. Next, sport.
