to keep the week it in the opening one-day international against | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Pakistan tomorrow. We will have the rest of the day's | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
sport in Sportsday, in around 15 minutes, after the papers. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:11. | :00:19. | |
to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
With me are the Evening Standard columnist Rosamund Urwin | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
and political commentator Lance Price. | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
The Financial Times leads with David Cameron's plans | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
for changing Britain's relationship with the EU. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
The inquest into the death of singer Nick Cave's son Arthur | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
The Telegraph leads with a speech by Sir John Major | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
in which he describes the level of inequality in modern Britain | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
The Express says there were 1.2 million illegal entries into the EU | :00:47. | :00:54. | |
and the paper says that's why Britain should leave the EU. | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
The Guardian says the Chancellor has been dealt | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
a blow by a Conservative-controlled committee of MPs | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
who are condemning plans to cut working tax credits. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
David Cameron's is pictured inside a jelly on the Sun, | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
which claims his stance on migrant benefits is wobbling. | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
The Independent also goes with the Prime Minister's bid to | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
renegotiate the terms of Britain's EU membership. | :01:19. | :01:28. | |
There are more allegations from the Mail | :01:29. | :01:29. | |
The paper also shows the Duchess of Cornwall jokingly brandishing | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
a knife, during a visit to a winery in Australia. | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
At least we hope she is joking. We begin them. We kick off than with | :01:42. | :01:52. | |
the Independent. But here are the Eurosceptics. They really were, some | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
of them, angry in the chamber of the house. One of them saying, " Is that | :01:57. | :02:08. | |
it?! " he called it a single rule. He is obviously a campaigner for | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
out. There is a feeling that David Cameron gave rather vague proposals | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
and then watered down the ones that seem like a red line only six months | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
ago. There has been a quick change of heart on this. The Europe | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
Minister went even further and said," Let's see what other people | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
suggest we do instead. " Obviously, he is willing to find some ground to | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
move on this. It has not exactly pleased the Eurosceptics. Some | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
people are suggesting that he has stitched up a deal already with | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
Angela Merkel along time ago, and the other EU leaders, to get all | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
this through. What is your reading? Will he have a battle on his hands? | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
There is a battle on his hands. It is not all about Angela Merkel. The | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
other EU leaders have to agree on treaty changes. That is a tall | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
order. Some have pointed out that this may be unachievable and we | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
should be out altogether. There is no doubt that Chancellor Merkel | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
wants the UK to stay in Europe. I think that David Cameron does as | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
well. She keeps saying that anything is possible. That is the way that | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
renegotiations work. It does not make it or attractive necessarily to | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
the people who have to decide in the referendum, all of us, because it | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
tends to be deals. It is difficult to pin down who said what to whom | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
because it is done behind closed doors. David Cameron has a difficult | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
task on his hands to persuade a very sceptical Conservative Party and a | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
public and Bill about Europe as well and they are in bill at about | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
Europe. This was his date is set out his stall. The headlines he will get | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
tomorrow at the last things he wanted. A different style from | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
Margaret Thatcher's negotiations. It is not exactly no, no, no, is it | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
that is what the Eurosceptics wanted to hear. They want another Thatcher. | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
That is what the Sun have focused on. They had David Cameron in a | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
jelly, say that he or balls on a plate. He will not like that. He | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
will not like that at all. -- wobbles on a plate. David Cameron is | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
in a difficult position here. It does not want this to be the | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
defining moment of his premiership. Is this all goes wrong and we vote | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
to leave, he is done for. He has fixed his term. How does he stay in | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
office after that? It would be game over. It is a policy that he | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
created, isn't it? To deal with the far right of his party and to deal | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
with UKIP. It was affixed to keep Tory party quiet. He now has to keep | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
the price that decision -- pay the price for that decision to do that. | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
It was a short-term fix and now he faces a difficult decision to get | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
through this. I'm very pro- European and I think that we will vote yes. I | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
have to wish him well even though we do not necessarily think it was the | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
right decision. Will the referendum settle this whole debate that has | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
been so dominating politics. Long? If he loses, he will have to go. -- | :05:35. | :05:43. | |
dominating politics for so long? It is a once and for all decision. As | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
we have seen in Scotland, once in a generation. A new Conservative | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
Party, new Prime Minister, they could say we will look at it again. | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
Moving on from Europe, the Guardian has a fresh blow for George Osborne | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
on tax credits. What is that about? The Work and Pensions Select | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
Committee which is controlled by the Tories, has said that they would | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
want tax credit changes, cuts, to be brought in slower. This is what | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
Frank Field had put before the House of Commons. This is not quite the | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
same way as doing it. In order to cut spending, George Osborne wants | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
to save ?4.4 billion by cutting tax credits. The problem is that this | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
will hit the so-called striders, hard-working people, not the | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
scroungers but this government sees as the mortal enemy of everything. | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
People in work and people with children, and people trying to make | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
a better life. This is incredibly difficult for them to push, this | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
time. What the government is doing is putting up the minimum wage for | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
those over 25 at least. That is supposed to offset that. If you | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
bring in more slowly, the idea is that it will have the fact that | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
people will not be badly punished. They have been forced to go back on | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
the tax credits by the House of Lords? It is obvious that he will | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
have to budge on this. The biggest concern comes from the conservatives | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
who had serious doubts about it. Some of them are saying that this | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
could be the administration's poll tax, it could lead to that much of a | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
reaction in the public. It is interesting. When I was working for | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
the Labour government when the tax credits were introduced, it was | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
fiendishly complicated. It was Gordon Brown's baby and he | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
understood it and few others did. You understood it, didn't you? I did | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
my best. There was not much gratitude in the country when it was | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
delivered. We wondered why people want more grateful but as soon as | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
the threat comes up to take it away, it becomes... Does it have the | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
same resonance as the poll tax? It is not quite as simple as the poll | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
tax. Not as easy to grasp. We will not see writing in the streets and | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
all of those dreadful scenes again. One of the reasons we won't you that | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
as well as Thatcher refusing to budge on the poll tax, George | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
Osborne will budge on tax credits. Speaking of issues are so could -- | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
social equality which the TAT credits -- tax credits are supposed | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
to address, interesting comments from the former Conservative Prime | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
Minister John Major, saying that the lack of equality in Britain is | :08:39. | :08:49. | |
"shocking". Major is a boy from Braxton who grew up in a council | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
house and went on to become Prime Minister. He has experienced here. | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
Not many politicians have that kind of experience. This is a personal | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
intervention. He is admitting that he failed when he was empowered to | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
do much about inequality, as it was not a big issue when he was in | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
power. There is now this massive gap that has opened up between the rich | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
and poor. It is something that he is finding desperately unfair, that a | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
child may start with worst prospects than some others. It was across the | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
idea that you have no security and no peace of mind if you grow up in | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
those circumstances. He would deny it of course, but this is another | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
attack on the tax credit policy. There is a nod in there to the | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
increase in the living wage as you are saying. And improving government | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
finances being a prerequisite for ending poverty. He says that he | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
failed to do it in his having years as PM. It raises the question of | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
whether equality will be reduced or increased under the next... The only | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
Conservative Prime Minister we have had since John Major, David Cameron. | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
It is an easy one for the Labour Party and opposition to say, if you | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
will cut tax credits and also cut taxes on the rich, you will make it | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
worse. Former Prime Minister John Major, in | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
the Daily Mirror, former prime minister Gordon Brown saying that | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
the Tories are betraying Britain with the tax credit cuts. Quite rare | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
interventions from Gordon Brown. We have had a few in the last year or | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
so. It is not speak up very often. I think that he is very right in the | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
arguments that he is making. This is the least of their problems. You | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
would expect Gordon Brown, the architect of tax credits, to be a | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
very vocal supporter of them. He does that, pointing out exactly have | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
we had been discussing earlier, the people hardest hit are those who | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
want to work. They are not people on benefits of our people with kids and | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
all the rest of it. There is an older and ageing politics that | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
is... The opposition are in front of you, your enemies are behind you and | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
the the George Osborne has to worry about other Conservative benches, | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
not Gordon Brown. We can talk now about the Times's | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
report on Sunday trading. This is an interesting kind of coalition of | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
rebels who, as the Times say, brought down the shutters on longer | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
Sunday trading hours, including the SNP, the Scottish National party, | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
even though this is something that applies to England and Wales. They | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
are claiming this as a victory even though they could not have won it | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
alone. We will not have longer trading hours on a Sunday. I'm | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
puzzled about this being an issue. Most supermarkets get around it by | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
opening up the smaller stores at that stay open till 11pm anyway. | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
They found their peaks anyway in big cities. But not that big... The tiny | :12:01. | :12:10. | |
little... It is confusing for shoppers. Mike small supermarkets | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
stay open longer and the big ones cannot? Well, quite. Is this | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
something that government should be doing? I don't want shops open all | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
the time that this isn't something the government should be doing. The | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
last paragraph of this story is fascinating. It is a different angle | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
on the story. The Queen comments on something political which she rarely | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
does. She was igniting the Liberal Democrat who lost his seat. He said | :12:37. | :12:46. | |
that there were more women than before and she said that there were | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
more Scots. That is bizarre. There are more Scottish Nationalists but | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
many of the MPs who were defeated in Scotland were also Scots. Not sure | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
what she was getting out there. The SNP a saying that this is another | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
example of them acting as the effective opposition at Westminster. | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
But if Labour had done well in the election, they could be almost | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
working hand-in-hand with Labour in government, that was the theory | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
before the last election. Absolutely. The SNP on this one have | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
jumped on the bandwagon, basically. It does not affect them. They | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
already have the right trading laws in Scotland as it stands. It used | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
the Labour's opposition, which is bigger than the SNP in Parliament. | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
The deadly bit in the mix once again is the Tory backbenchers who do not | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
agree with David Cameron. Now, perhaps Camilla has an idea for | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
the way that David Cameron might deal with these backbenchers. I | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
hesitate to suggest... She is looking ferocious there, isn't she? | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
This is the kind of photograph that makes the picture editor's day. It | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
is in several papers. Normally, a royal photo opportunity, they are | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
happy and smiling. This looks like something out of an hour through | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
Hitchcock film, doesn't it? I rather applaud her for not playing along | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
and smiling the entire time and having a bit more personality. I | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
rather like the idea that she was at the same time, warning her husband, | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
Prince Charles, to behave himself. Don't mess with the Duchess! Don't | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
mess with the Duchess! Finally, we have a cartoon from the | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
Daily Telegraph. It is my favourite cartoon on the Russian athletes. It | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
is rather brilliant. We have to bear is in a cave and one is saying to | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
the other, I would never eat a Russian athletes, they are so pumped | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
full of chemicals. That is a rather beautiful summary of the day. It has | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
been the dominant story of the week, the doping scandal. The idea that | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
this was based on its sponsored doping... Back to the Cold War, back | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
to the Soviet days... It is not on the front pages of many papers but | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
it will be a huge story that will develop and it may turn into almost | :15:17. | :15:25. | |
a Cold War test of strength. Blimey Putin and the Russian authorities | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
seem unrepentant. He is accused of using sport as part of his foreign | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
policy. He will get the states dependent on Russia for oil or gas | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
to threaten to boycott the bits as well if Russia were to be under | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
pressure not to compete. -- boycott the Olympics as well. | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
That's it for The Papers this hour. Thank you, Rosamund and Lance. | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
Coming up next, it's time for Sportsday. | :15:50. | :15:52. |
