the test series against South Africa. And, Warren Gatland talks

about the chances over Ireland. Hello and welcome to

our look ahead to what the papers With me are political commentator

Miranda Green and Christopher Hope, Chief Political Correspondent

for the Telegraph. The Metro has the Prime Minister

saying that the deal he's negotiated with the European Union offers

the best of both worlds. The Financial Times, tucked away

on the bottom left, says Boris Johnson is set to back David Cameron

to keep Britain in the EU, once he The Guardian says the PM's hard line

on UK self-rule has "wooed" the London Mayor to his campaign to

keep Britain in the European Union. The Telegraph reports on more anger,

this time within the ranks The Express says Mr Cameron's EU

draft deal is already falling apart, as polls suggest voters reject what

it calls his "sham reforms". The Times says there's been

a revolution in cancer care, The Independent writes

of what it calls the Great It says teachers are boosting

pupils' predicted grades to help And the Sun claims that Age UK is

running a scheme offering a special energy deal with Eon,

which is more expensive than The charity rejects the allegations,

and Eon says it always works to give What do we make of the front page of

the Daily Express? It is a poll that claims that the EU is already

falling apart. Today has been dominated by David Cameron's

relationship with his own party over Britain's relationship with the EU.

The Daily Express has chosen to go with the headline, the idea that

David Cameron has overpromised and underdeliver, particularly on

immigration. One of the greatest successes of Ukip is to ally the

relationship with the EU with people's fears about to watch

immigration to the UK. They are going on the idea that David Cameron

had promised to stop benefits for EU immigrants, and it turns out that to

do that we would need the agreement of the other states. They are

calling that a failure. This is quite fun, it is a poll of Daily

Express readers, so I'm not sure... I would suggest to you that the

result, which is 99% of them saying they would back an EU referendum,

and 93% said the UK should leave the EU. That is not what you tend to get

in the scientifically produced polls by the polling companies. Would you

suggest that the wide consensus reflected by the papers is that he

has overpromised and undelivered? David Cameron spent two hours being

grilled by his MPs about the deal, with a very pro- EU boss. He kind of

avoided all of this stuff until today. He has really copped it big

time. You could argue it is the first poll since the deal was done,

so it can only get better. I don't think I'm being unfair to say that

the outcome is looking in disarray at the moment. They have replaced

two of their key members, but there are some Eurosceptics who are crying

out for this Middle Road, a moderate road, Michael Gove and Boris

Johnson. Michael Gove, the Lord Chancellor is torn by his

convictions, isn't he? They have is really interesting story which is

all about what he has been saying privately to friends. Publicly, ten

Downing St has said with confidence that Michael Gove will back the PM.

Even though Michael Gove is known to be a lifelong eurosceptic, that he

will go along and at the deal. As you were rightly saying, the Grexit

is... It desperately needs a decent figurehead -- Brexit. Michael Gove

is a slightly swashbuckling figure, seen as an intellectual by the

people on the right. I think a lot of waverers might be convinced by

Michael Gove on that site. It is very important to try to bring him

over. Is it fair to say that there are two issues? Here's reformer, he

has got his teeth into penal reform. So Mackie has friends in the media.

He would be great. I think a lot of people are sick of these politicians

being torn about an issue, sometimes publicly attacked. Why can't they

just get out there and enact what they have been saying for years?

This is a once in a generation vote, these guys should put them to one

side. Eurosceptics will argue that they should get on with it. What

about Boris Johnson? They are saying he has been wooed by the PM's

promise over sovereignty. Michael Gove doesn't profess to be the next

leader after David Cameron, but we think George Osborne and Boris

Johnson and Theresa May all do. There has been a lot of discussion

about where they will line up. Yesterday, Theresa May was seen to

come onside behind David Cameron, and we know that George Osborne has

been trying to strong arm the people in the party to line up with him.

But where will Boris Johnson come down? This suggests that after the

long two-hour session in the Commons today, in which David Cameron got

eaten up by his own MPs, enduring a lot of criticism, a lot of the team

went to Boris Johnson with extra concessions, designed to keep Boris

Johnson on side. Are we talking about a bolt onto the draft deal

that we have seen or is this part of the existing text? No, it is outside

that. The idea is one where you have a separate Constitutional Court that

can weigh up what Europe is saying to this country. If Europe doesn't

do what we want, we can reject it. It is about the court system that is

not really part of the four baskets that David Cameron offered us. Human

rights law is a whole new area that David Cameron has promised to deal

with. Buries the issue that we gave the EU privacy so we can take it

away? It is very interesting, because Germany's Constitutional

Court, it does sit and is called upon to make this judgement calls

about whether Germany should go with EU rulings or not. We do have the

Supreme Court in the UK, so it is interesting, in that the story also

says that we are waiting for two weeks as David Cameron finalises his

renegotiation with the EU. It suck we will have two weeks finalising

negotiations with Boris Johnson as well -- it looks like. Meanwhile on

the front of the Daily Telegraph, here is a PM who doesn't have to be

a lack that again. -- doesn't have to be elected again. David Cameron

hasn't really helped himself. It is a two-hour session, questions from

all sides, and David Cameron is a brilliant Commons performer, but he

did say not to take a view because of what your constituents

association might say. So ignore the guys who helped you win your seat in

the last election, do what you want to do, that is, sort me out. We have

reported here a lot of anger from associations and MPs piling in. This

kind of arrogance as it is seen by the grassroots will come back and

bite him. BMPs are not supposed to be delegates from the Conservative

Party association. They should represent all the constituents, even

those who are not activists of the Conservative Party. Someone has

tweeted in the last few minutes saying, presumably in the next paper

review you will do the decent thing and hold up the front page of the

Daily Mail. Who will speak for England? Are they accusing David

Cameron of being Neville Chamberlain? They do say very

carefully in the final paragraph, far be it for us to suggest that the

EU is comparable to the Nazi regime in Germany, but the tone of the

front page, which is extraordinary, is basically saying that those in

the Conservative Party who are not sticking to their guns are

appeasers. The Conservative Party it says has been proselytising for the

EU in defiance of most of its rank-and-file members. That is

exactly right, on the money. You are defying our expectations and acting

for elites, not us. Disease can learn to trust in politicians as

well? Quite. -- does this come down to. This is a classic Fleet Street

read. I'm not sure how much Number Ten mine. I think they have got a

deal on migrants, a deal on sovereignty over the EU, a deal on

redtape. It is basically a deal, without David Cameron saying it is

one. I agree with the Daily Mail in that they do point out that the vote

that we will have, possibly in June, is about much more than these

four points that David Cameron has been talking about. I want to take

two stories really quickly, we are running out of time. Let's talk

about the Zika virus first. The Times saying it could spread to

Europe by summer. This is extraordinary, saying that the Zika

virus, while not in Europe yet, is carried by these mosquitoes which

live in southern Europe. If it found a way over here it would be a

threat. You gave me an impression of what they do. They can't really fly

across the Atlantic, can they? What about students transporting

themselves to the right universities? This is a good story.

For those who are worried about their offspring, and those who are

worried about fairness and whether the right people are getting into

British universities. This is pointing out that something that has

gone on for a long time, which is schools over inflating the predicted

grades of people about to do their A-levels. That results in the wrong

people getting places at university, and the predicted grades don't often

matched the once they end up with. But now that ongoing problem has

been made worse because the government lifted the cap on the

number of places, so universities are competing for applicants and

they are giving discounts. Say you are getting this ridiculous

situation where the schools over inflate the predictions, and then

when they don't come to pass and people get much worse grades, they

say don't worry, we will give you a discount, come in anyway. Mind you,

they were spot on. They need to move to a system where you get your place

after you have sat exams and got your results. Thank you very much.

We will be back with the Papers at the same time tomorrow. Up next,
