Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
With me are the Political Commentator, Vincent Moss, | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
and the Political Editor at the Sunday Express, | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with: | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
The Sunday Express leads on the announcement that | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
a new "supergroup" will be unveiled this week, | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
uniting voices calling for Britain's exit from the EU. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
A key adviser to Margaret Thatcher, Lord Powell, believes the former | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Prime Minister would have supported David Cameron's Brussels deal - | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
that's according to the Sunday Times. | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
The Observer fears Government plans to restrict council homes | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
for the very poorest will mean that tens of thousands of families | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
leads on a letter it's received from more than 40 | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
Conservative Party Associations, "angered", it says, | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
by David Cameron's instruction to Tory MPs to ignore | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
The Help for Heroes charity is being investigated by the Charity | :01:05. | :01:18. | |
Finally, The Independent on Sunday dedicates its front page | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
to the efforts being taken to tackle obesity, but criticises the policies | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
of both the NHS and the Department of Health. | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
Not showing any preference, we will start with the Sunday Express. | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
Caroline has an exclusive. Extra brownie points for you. After a week | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
when we can say there has been so much infighting in the out campaign, | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
it seems that there is finally going to be a big supergroup, a | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
unification of 15 of those Brexit groups. I am told there are 47 of | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
them in total, but 15 of the biggest will merge with the grassroots out | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
campaign and the idea is that they will speak with one voice. They are | :02:00. | :02:11. | |
going to go for designation. The next edge in this campaign is that | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
they need to get designation status to become the league campaign in | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
this fight. It seems now that the merged group is going to put itself | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
forward as the official out campaign. How well blended are the | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
let stay in campaign? Much better than the let's get out campaign, for | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
whom to say they have had a week which has been incoherent and | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
plagued by backbiting would be to make an understatement. They have | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
had a terrible week. Nobody knows what is going on, so it does make | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
sense to get a unified voice together and push the message in | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
that way. At the moment, the public are already fairly turned off, | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
because nobody understands the message from either group because of | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
the chaotic infighting. It is getting lost. People are shouting | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
over each other, leaving one group in joining another. Ultimately, this | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
is about trying to draw a line under the infighting and saying actually, | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
we have an incredible opportunity to make a historic decision. Let's lay | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
out the facts for people and make sure both voices have a clear | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
message, which is why the Sunday Express today also has an opinion | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
editorial written by the lead of the outgroup and a leader of the in | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
group, setting out the arguments for staying and going. A nice balance, | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
well done. The Sunday Times has lots of stories about the EU. This one | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
says that would vote yes to the EU. Her closest adviser fuels Tory civil | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
war -- he says Thatcher would vote yes to the EU. The Sunday Times have | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
resurrected Margaret Thatcher, who we are told confidently by the | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
Sunday Times would vote yes to the EU. They have sourced this to Lord | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
Powell, who works for Margaret Thatcher in the 80s. It is a further | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
indication of the huge battle, particularly for the support of | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
wavering Conservatives, to back-up the Prime Minister's campaign to | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
reluctantly stay within the EU, but on much an on better terms that the | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
Prime Minister is confident he will negotiate. But there has been a bit | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
of a slap down by Lord Tebbit. When I saw this headline, we were | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
expecting Margaret Thatcher to speak from the grave. They are saying that | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
if she was here, this is what she would think. Of course, Margaret | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
Thatcher is one of those figures in the Conservative Party who is still | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
held with enormous affection, so anybody trying to suggest that she | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
would support David Cameron is supposed to swing people behind | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
David Cameron's deal with Donald Tusk. Lord Tebbit says of Lord | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
Powell, here's an apparent chick, not a politician. Oh, dear -- an | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
apparent chick. Daily Telegraph. 44 local party bosses have written to | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
the Daily Telegraph. I wonder if they were invited to do so. Perish | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
the thought. Warning that David Cameron has known divine right. What | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
are they upset about? They are upset about the fact that David Cameron | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
has said to his MPs, you should vote with your heart, not necessarily the | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
way your constituency would want you to. The feeling is that a lot of | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
associations are very Eurosceptic and he doesn't want the MPs to | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
necessarily vote the way their party association would. There are threats | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
of the selections. No MP is going to go against their association, it is | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
their bread and butter. Although we are a long way off another election, | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
so they have a few years to claw back votes. But these local | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
associations have long memories and they are brutal when it comes to | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
dealing with MPs they don't feel are loyal enough. I would not want to be | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
the MP who perhaps voted to stay in in a very Eurosceptic area. It would | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
be a brave man or woman. A final bit of EU in the Daily Mail. Revealed, | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
the Cabinet minister who will fight to leave the EU. Who is this? It is | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
Priti Patel, the employment minister. She does sit in the | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
Cabinet, but she is not a Secretary of State. She is well-known for her | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Eurosceptic views. In many ways, it was inevitable that the Sunday | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
papers would be rushing to get somebody to break ranks this weekend | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
after the Prime Minister told everybody to be quiet until after he | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
secured his deal in two weeks' time. The Mail on Sunday has come up with | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
Priti Patel. I have not seen her comments, but she is clearly going | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
to say something exciting about the fact that she backs Brexit. We need | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
pages eight and nine, Mail on Sunday! Moving away from the EU, | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
Help For Heroes in shock charity probe. The Charity commission are | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
feeling the need to investigate. Why? Yes, the Mail on Sunday has put | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
together a number of allegations about the charity, which raises lots | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
of money for servicemen since it was set up in 2007. But there are | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
ex-staff who have been disgruntled and claimed they were gagged when | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
seeking unfair dismissal. There have been allegations that there were | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
data breaches when ex-servicemen have had details of their condition | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
passed on. The Charity commission says it is looking at those | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
allegations, but Help For Heroes says it looks after thousands of | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
people and takes its responsibilities to set high | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
standards very seriously, although there is a piece from Tim Collins, a | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
former SAS hero who made an inspirational speech, saying their | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
questions here that have to be answered. Took us through what the | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
Charity commission are saying and what Help For Heroes is saying? We | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
must stress it is only an investigation. The Charity | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
commission said it is working with Help For Heroes to resolve the | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
concern over the alleged failings of the charity, which may have led to | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
private details of traumatised soldiers' private psychiatric | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
treatment being exposed. We must say that some of the allegations here, | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
there are not substantiated details about them, one being that there was | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
an attempted suicide. Help For Heroes have said they take their | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
responsibility very seriously, and they set the highest standards to | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
ensure that they have the best staff. So they are worrying | :09:14. | :09:22. | |
allegations, but the investigation is ongoing. Lawyers for the charity | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
have said they did not have any details about the allegation | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
attempted suicide a soldier who is claimed to have suffered in their | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
care. The charity said it was not the subject of a full statutory | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
investigation by the Charity commission and it was normal for big | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
charities to have regular updates with the regulator, which is true. | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
You are now seeing newspapers looking at charities across the | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
piece. You had stories about Age UK and Kids Company, famously. The | :09:58. | :10:07. | |
media are now looking at charities. It has become a real issue. We have | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
just seen the bill go through the hassle of Parliament which is | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
supposed to beef up the powers for organisations looking into what | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
charities are doing. They're clearly needs to be more scrutiny and better | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
oversight from government and the Charity commission. Let's look at | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
the Observer. Families to be forced out of council homes. This is likely | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
to affect 60,000 households. What is the move here? It is something | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
George Osborne suggested, that from April mid year, if you earned a lot | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
of money, depending on your circumstances, 40,000 if you are | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
inside London, you would have to pay the market rate for your council | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
property. Although 40,000 sounds a lot in some parts of the country, if | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
you had a family in a three or four bedroom house in central London or | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
even in outer London, you would not be able to afford to get a similar | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
property at the so-called market rent, because rents are so | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
expensive. So the Observer is highlighting this report from the | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
Local Government Association saying that almost 60,000 households would | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
be forced to leave London. And how easy is it to do that? That whole | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
lives are here. When you are employed in a particular job and you | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
have children at schools, it is difficult to see how that would | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
work. But it is something we have seen from Osborne for a while, the | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
idea that you should pay a fair rate for things and that it is too easy | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
for people to be subsidised and on benefits. This follows the benefit | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
cap. And the spare room subsidy. Or the bedroom tax. It all plays into | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
the problem of not having enough housing and the supply and demand | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
issue. Everything has gone through the roof, no pun intended. The | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
Observer also says a humanitarian disaster looms in a as Assad's | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
forces cut off rebels. We have seen thousands of people moving towards | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
the Turkish border to try get out of Aleppo before it is completely | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
besieged. That's right, and it all has consequences, because that is | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
going to fuel the migration problem, with more people heading towards the | :12:22. | :12:30. | |
West. There will be a huge problem if this continues in Aleppo. | :12:31. | :12:41. | |
One of the other consequences is that this will bleed into the whole | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
debate about Europe and the referendum, because people will see | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
these pictures and the concern might be played on by the more ruthless | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
elements of the Eurosceptic side of the argument, saying, these people | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
are heading towards our shores and if you stay within the European | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
Union, this is what you will face. And we will have no power over our | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
borders. A quick look at the Sunday Times. Cyber thieves hack the | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
taxman. Sounds funny, but at the end of the day, the taxman has only got | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
the money we have paid in taxes, and it seems that the money is being | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
hacked when we are paying taxes online. Looks as though they have | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
discovered a case in their own newsroom, ironically, because the | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
Sunday Times executive had this happen to them. The thieves tried to | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
get a rebate against her self-assessment form. She put in a | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
claim and the taxman had written back to her, saying, | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
congratulations, you are due a rebate. Then they wrote back a few | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
days later, saying, actually, we made a mistake and you may have been | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
hacked. We know they can get into your bank accounts if you are | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
unlucky. Looks like they can even get into HMRC. They are getting more | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
and more sophisticated. The number of times I have received e-mails | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
purporting to be from particular organisations, I had one recently | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
from PayPal. And Skype as well. And then you think, hang on, I don't | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
have one of these accounts, so how can I be owed this money or have to | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
pay this bill? It is worrying, and is used to be where crime is going. | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
It is not being mugged on the street, but people sitting in their | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
bedrooms at home and coming up with cunning ideas to get their hands on | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
your money. Because the amounts of money are so much bigger. In this | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
case, they were trying to get about ?1800. And if you do it online, I | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
imagine there is less chance of getting caught and if you are | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
involved in street crime. Finally, the Sunday Telegraph has a rugby | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
pitch. Bright start to England's new dawn. We have a picture of England | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
captain Dylan Hartley celebrating a winning start after their 15-9 | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
victory over Scotland. Terrible start for Scottish fans, but this is | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
the way English fans want it to be going. You are looking at me, and I | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
am going to look at you blankly. I did not look at the rugby. The rugby | :15:19. | :15:27. | |
picture does feature England's victory over Scotland. But really, | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
the big sportster is the triumph of Leicester City and how they are at | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
the top of the Premier League. I am so pleased you mentioned that. I | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
have tried not to, because Clive Myrie is a Manchester City fan and | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
he would be very upset. Vincent and Caroline will be back. | :15:48. | :15:56. |
