That leaves of one rubber apiece. We will bring you the results from a | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
host of rugby matches across both codes. That is in 15 minutes after | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
the papers. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
to what the papers will be With me are the Mirror's | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Deputy Political Editor, Jack Blanchard, and the Daily | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Telegraph columnist Tim Stanley. The Independent claims that Facebook | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
may pay "little or nothing" in additional tax for the next few | :00:24. | :00:39. | |
years, despite today's announcement The Culture Secretary, | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
John Whittingdale, tells the Telegraph that the Prime | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
Minister should release figures that show "the true number | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
of European Union migrants" A Home Office Minister tells | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
the Daily Mail that human rights laws mean some illegal immigrants | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
can't be deported from the UK. Meanwhile, the Express says | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
the number of new asylum applications lodged across the EU | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
last year rose to 1.2 million. According to The Times, | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
George Osborne has abandoned an overhaul of pension tax | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
after a revolt from Tory MPs. 20 years since 16 pupils | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
and a teacher were killed at Dunblane Primary School, | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
the headteacher back in 1996 has given an emotional | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
interview to The Mirror. We are going to start with pensions, | :01:18. | :01:33. | |
which I know will have everyone on fire! Threat of the new Tory revolt | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
before the referendum. What is he abandoning? Good question. It is a | :01:39. | :01:47. | |
plan that has been floated about for a couple of weeks, it is about | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
cutting pension tax relief. It is another screeching U-turn from the | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
Chancellor that is made at something of the trademark of his, and he | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
tends to do it on a Friday night as well, maybe he thinks people will | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
notice. There has been lots of opposition from Conservative MPs and | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
papers, like yours. He has decided that this isn't the time to do this. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
He is feeling a bit sensitive about backbenchers and at don't think he | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
thinks he has the strength to do it. Well, we bang your head a brick wall | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
if you are not going to get it through? Maybe he shouldn't have | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
floated the idea in the first place. By taking more from higher rate | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
earners to discourage them from putting money in the pension pot. | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
The payoff of taking more when people invest is that he said he was | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
going to allow them to enjoy their pension income tax-free. The problem | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
with that is it is robbing Peter to pay Paul. The Treasury will get lots | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
of money now, 10,000,000,000-a-year, but down the road it would have | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
meant there would be less income coming in and do you trust a future | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
government not to decide we do think we will tax pension income. It has | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
to be said, fans of Boris enemies of Georgia starting to say that he is | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
of Gordon Brown. First of all, being somebody who likes to tinker | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
cleverly in ways that squeeze more money out of the middle-class | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
taxpayers, but also somebody who has a habit of U-turns. There was | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
U-turns over the tax credits, a bit like the 10p rate under Gordon | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Brown. Why did you give him some credit for changing his mind when he | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
sees it is not politically expedient or not as good an idea as he thought | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
it was. Normally you would give somebody credit for changing their | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
mind because maybe the situation has changed. The truth is he doesn't | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
have the strength to push this through. They are fighting in the EU | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
referendum on all fronts at the moment. The government are taking a | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
lot of stick from their own party and their own press and I think this | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
is one battle he has decided it is not the right time. He is going to | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
have to make big cuts. This was his big idea. It is quite complicated, | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
not many people would understand that, maybe he thought he could do | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
it without people really noticing the people have noticed that they | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
Dorff. A problem with this reform is that it is so complicated. That is a | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
Gordon Brown style trait of doing things which seem very clever | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
because they are very complex in the hope that nobody will notice that | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
what you're actually doing is simply taking more money from people. They | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
were supposed to be handing more money over in tax, Facebook to pay | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
more tax, but not yet. Facebook apparently was written in thinking | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
through Ireland's, meaning it could avoid paying tax but they say they | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
will not do that. The Independent has pointed out that it is sitting | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
on ?21.4 million in deferred tax relief so could be some time before | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
that money is paid to the Treasury. You can do very losses, can't you. | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
You can if your Facebook. They haven't actually told us what the | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
new structure will look like. The still have an extremely public at a | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
corporate. How much more they will be playing we have no idea. It seems | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
like there are larger customers will have their business processed here | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
rather than in Ireland and smaller customers will still be held in | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
Ireland, as I understand that. We don't know how much business they | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
are actually going to do in the UK. They are not compelled to tell us. | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
Right, and this is about us moving away to add kind of economy where | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
big companies can pay that kind of tax they want to wherever they want | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
to. That is the nature of capitalism. It is hard to find a | :06:18. | :06:27. | |
global policy Forum getting tax, is that? Really they just pay as much | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
tax as they feel like. Deviously they felt like paying next to no | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
tax. People got very angry, they want to get some good PR, but really | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
they are deciding we will pay this much now. They are not paying the | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
same sort of level that a small business pays, and they don't get a | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
say. Paying tax should not be a matter of PR. Reputation believe, | :06:54. | :07:02. | |
how bad is it for Facebook? To advertise to stop advertising if the | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
company they are using to advertise have good ways of getting around tax | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
law? I don't think so. It comes down to the nature of this kind of | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
corporation, the nature of capitalism today. He used to know | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
that a coal mine, a physical thing, you could go to it and tax it. | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
Migrants next. The Daily Mail first of all. Human rights mean there is | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
nothing we can do to deport them. Who are at this particular group of | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
illegal migrants? I don't think it is any particular group. They are | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
the ones who are in this country, are still coming to this country. Of | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
course there is an ongoing problem of illegal migration and many | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
countries are at tackling this problem of illegal migrants. I don't | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
think it is a new situation. The problem is it is now very prescient | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
because of the situation in Europe. Suddenly the sorts of issues become | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
very politicised. Richard Harrington, Home Office Minister, he | :08:17. | :08:26. | |
seemed to be speaking about these immigrants who come in having burned | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
their passports and they would say where they come from. If you don't | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
know the country of origin, you can't send them back there. The | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
thing to do is ask the asylum seekers! I'm sure that tried that! | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
If somebody has come on has burned their passport and was not | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
cooperating, they should be arrested and face jail. I'm sure in the | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
process of going to the criminal justice system we will find at some | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
point where they have come from. If so we can make a good guess on | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
whether or not they should be sent back. If we put them in prison, we | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
still don't know where to send them back to when they come out. Some | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
Tory MPs were trying to push for a change in the law, where we could | :09:15. | :09:22. | |
lock them up for six months. What Harrington said to them in the House | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
of Commons, what happens after the six months? Will this really deter | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
people from trying to get to this country? They will risk of hunger | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
and disease the rest of the top six months in a British prison, no, I am | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
not doing that! It is an intractable problem. The whole world is trying | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
to deal with this. It could be solved if people were processed | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
outside the United Kingdom. They are supposed to be processed in Greece | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
and Italy. The numbers are too high. Italy and Greece can't afford to do | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
it. France has got the nerve to talk about the handling of Calais. They | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
shouldn't be in Calais, they should have been returned to Italy or | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
Germany. It is a breakdown of the Dublin agreement. Asylum seekers | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
should be processed in the first country they arrive in. A lot of | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
refugees don't want to stay with a full slant -- where the first line, | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
do they? Tough cheese. It got to you. If they don't, they are | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
breaking the law. It is not a humanitarian issue in the sense that | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
we should take people, I am not denying that, but there has to be | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
illegal struck at the people obeyed. The culture secretary has called for | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
the Prime Minister to reveal the true number of migrants. This is the | :10:59. | :11:06. | |
latest attack of the Eurosceptic movement, to seize upon this. | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
Understandably so. It is a genuine question first Group just before | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
Christmas by an economist, the difference between our official | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
migration figures and the number of people from abroad who have | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
registered for a National Insurance number, there was a huge difference. | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
There are many more of these National Insurance numbers and there | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
are officially people here. Why is there of this disparity question are | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
a lot more people here than official figures show? It was raised to prime | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
ministers questions on whether he batted it away, but this is clearly | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
not a coordinated attack by the Eurosceptics to put some pressure on | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
him, to suggest that migration is served an even bigger figure. You | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
could come for a short while, get yourself a number and go again. You | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
could, absolutely. I don't think it is about trying just to figure out | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
how many people here. I think he's trying to prove point about why | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
people come. When David Cameron came back from Brussels with a great deal | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
he put the emphasis on benefits, saying we will delay access to in | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
work benefits on the principle that people come to Britain in such large | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
numbers in order to access benefits. Eurosceptic Sir saying that isn't | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
true, that is only a small proportion of people. People come | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
for the work. That is what I think John Whittingdale is trying to | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
prove, that unless you can sort the borders, stick to a number... I | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
think most people think migrants come here to work. It is true, isn't | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
it? Let's finish with the times and the picture of a newly married | :12:56. | :13:06. | |
couple. The man owns the paper. It is a flattering photograph! Can we | :13:07. | :13:20. | |
be nice about this? Yes, why not? I am pleased. It is the Roman Spring | :13:21. | :13:29. | |
of Rupert and Jerry. Her first wedding, his fourth. You can be as | :13:30. | :13:40. | |
mean as July, but I to join in. The Mirror has done this page three | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
tomorrow, and I hope Rupert thinks is appropriate. | :13:45. | :13:44. | |
Thank you Jack Blanchard and Tim Stanley. | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
You'll both be back at 11.30pm for another look at the stories | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
Coming up next it's time for Sportsday. | :13:54. | :14:04. |
