Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:00. | :00:27. | |
With me are Press and Journal's Westminster correspondent, | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Lindsay Watling, and broadcaster David Akinsanya. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
The Sunday Times reports that David Cameron is being warned he may | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
face a leadership challenge even if Britain votes to stay in the EU. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
The introduction in the House of Commons this week | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
of the government's Investigatory Powers Bill is | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
The Observer has an interview with the Europe | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
Minister David Lidington, who says Britain voting to leave the EU would | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
The Sunday Express leads with a survey suggesting 25 out of the | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
28 EU member states feel negatively about the future of the EU. | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
And sticking with the EU theme, the Mail reports on divisions within the | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Conservative party, with reports of the Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
clashing with a long standing Tory eurosceptic MP Sir Bill Cash. | :01:09. | :01:19. | |
Let's begin with the Observer. Brexit would spark a decade of | :01:20. | :01:32. | |
economic limbo, claims a top Tory. The G 20s say that it would be a | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
risk to the global economy. A lot of talk about that today. It is scary | :01:38. | :01:49. | |
stuff, people are jostling for position, saying this way is bad in | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
this way is good. But whether or not that is getting through to real | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
people, I don't know. The G20 has just taken place in China, and | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
people are saying it is a big risk to the world economy, and I think | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
that is what they are homing in on. It is interesting but that is added | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
to a state of post- G20, including officials that were travelling with | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
them, 15 of them aren't even in the EU. It is a strange thing for them | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
to do, and the suggestion is that George has pushed for them to say | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
that. It could be that the likes of China were thinking about | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
themselves, not the EU. They are thinking about the global economy | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
and how it may affect them. It is a coup for George Osborne in terms of | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
getting a statement like that, because it adds ammunition to their | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
narrative, but I think he said yesterday that there would be | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
profound economic shock if it and voted to leave the EU. The Energy | :02:50. | :03:03. | |
minister said that was absurd. Again, there are divisions within | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
the party. And individuals. People are changing their minds. Boris | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Johnson, he changed his mind, everyone thought he would go the | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
other way, but he switched to the out campaign. It just feels like | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
there are a lot of people positioning themselves. Isn't that | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
happening in the public as well? The politicians have perhaps been | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
thinking about it a lot longer than us. But there are clearly some | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
people, other politicians who are lined up, but there are still people | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
who are deciding. Boris Johnson said he decided a while ago but it was a | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
long and hard decision. I have friends who are literally only | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
interested in the immigration debate, and that is what they will | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
base their decision on. They are not thinking about whether there will be | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
less business or whether the pound will be affected, they have a very | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
clear position. But I think the majority of people haven't. I think | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
most people make up their minds perhaps if they go to vote, if they | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
go to vote at all. Of course, they might not vote at all. The Mail on | :04:07. | :04:17. | |
Sunday is describing it as a meltdown. Suggesting that the | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
Conservative Party is in trouble with its divisions, but it could be | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
argued that they are just reflecting what is happening across the | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
country. Yes, and just because people are members of the same party | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
doesn't mean they will have the same views on everything. David Cameron | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
has given his... He has suspended collective Cabinet responsibility to | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
allow them to campaign however they want. I think potentially it is | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
quite dangerous going forward. We saw towards the end of last year | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
fierce divisions within the Labour Party and that has been very | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
dangerous for them. I think the risk is that there will be divisions that | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
can't be healed, coming together afterwards. It is certainly being | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
written about. What happened between Sir Phillip Hammond and Sir Bill | :05:16. | :05:24. | |
Cash? There has been some colourful language and name-calling, which we | :05:25. | :05:35. | |
have heard in the Tory party before. There are nasty things being said to | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
each other, and apparently Phillip Hammond, who is the Foreign | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
Minister, is usually quite calm guy and quite laid back. You can see | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
here that he... Bill Cash latently published something that he asked | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
him not to, so what does he say about transparency? Why are they not | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
publishing everything they know, why is he in trouble for this? As we | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
move closer to the referendum, it will be ramped up more and more, | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
there will be a lot of nastiness and to-ing and fro-ing. Are worrying | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
headline for David Cameron, Tory threats to cast PM half EU vote. | :06:16. | :06:25. | |
Where is this coming from? The question has always been that if he | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
loses, and Britain does vote to leave the EU, he would have to | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
resign. He has said that he wouldn't, but this is going one | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
stage further. It is suggesting there could be a leadership | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
challenge even if Britain votes to stay. It is all to do with the party | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
being disarray and fears of a split. So, what we were just talking about, | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Cameron really faces the challenge of keeping it together. It is all | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
very well for people to disagree, it is how they disagreed. They are | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
saying a vote of no confidence could be called off the back of this | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
infighting, and a senior backbencher is saying it would be doable. More | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
than 140 MPs are committed to leading the EU. A tough week the | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
David Cameron, many people in the party coming out against him. He has | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
brought it on himself, he is the one who offered the referendum to | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
people. That people haven't had a say for a long time. But it is not | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
like... He started it, didn't he? But they have been divisions for a | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
long time. But he needn't have done what he did, and I don't think he | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
will stay as PM anyway. He has a few years yet, he might stick around a | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
bit longer. But it is a risk for the PM. That's right, and especially | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
within the party when you know there are so many Eurosceptics. I always | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
understood that about the Tory party, that a lot of them were anti- | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
Europe. It will be interesting to see what happens in the Conservative | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
Party after the referendum, because those rifts will suddenly have to | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
work together again. In some shape or form, either in or out of the EU. | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
People on the periphery, there will always be defined camps, but I think | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
in the mainstream people kiss and make up. Shall we move away from the | :08:27. | :08:35. | |
EU? Let's talk about charities. We are talking about these people who | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
we see in the charity industry with clip boards, asking us for money. | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
Like I said before, I am happy to give a pound or ?2 into a | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
collection, but they want you to stop and take ten minutes, then get | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
a 12 month standing order from you. They are getting on people's nerves. | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
This is coming because the chairman of the Charity Commission is saying | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
that if charities don't get themselves in order they will have | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
to face regulations, and we have all heard about the issues to do with | :09:08. | :09:19. | |
agent -- H and K. I don't give much money to charity now, because I | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
don't like the idea of them sitting in posh offices. Do you avoid them? | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
I do, I often walk on the other side of the road. We haven't got time, | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
have we? That sounds like an awful thing to say, but you are actually | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
trying to get somewhere and you don't have time to stop. I know you | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
both like Adele. She is celebrating her recent success. This is about | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
the price of tickets that are going on sale. If I had the money, I | :09:51. | :10:01. | |
probably would, and she is one of the greats of my time and it would | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
be great to go and see her. It is probably worth the money. She won't | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
like this, will she? No, she tried to stop touts from reselling her | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
tickets. They are selling at 290 times the original price. That is | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
crazy. A seat with a face value of ?85, calling for more than ?25,000. | :10:24. | :10:32. | |
We just have time to talk about barmaids... I shouldn't have said | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
that, but I am reading the headline! Barmaids barred by law. | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
Anything that refers to the sex of the person. This is specifically | :10:43. | :10:56. | |
about hoteliers all -- advertising for barmaids. We had dinner ladies | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
and they are now midday supervisors. We have the issue of paperboy, you | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
can't advertise for a paperboy. My view is that the bigger issue is the | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
paperboy being paid the same as the paper girl? In some cases there is | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
still a gender pay gap, and in some cases not. A lot of it is habit and | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
slip of the tongue. And what we are used to. It is also about the age. | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
It is not just about sex, but age. You can't ask for a recent graduate | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
or a mature person. You can't ask for a Polish builder, either. No, | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
because you are discriminating. I still call a policeman a policeman | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
sometimes, obviously if it was a woman I wouldn't. The same mankind? | :11:49. | :12:00. | |
Humankind, person kind? I was a barmaid for years, and I have no | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
objection to be calling that. I was a paperboy. I was a paperboy. It | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
didn't last long, because I have never been good at getting up early! | :12:10. | :12:17. | |
Thank you both for joining us today. You can watch it on my player in a | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
few moments. Film review is next. | :12:24. | :12:25. |
