Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
With me are the columnist for the Daily Telegraph, | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Tim Stanley and Susie Boniface, who's a columnist - | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
known as the Fleet Street Fox - for the Mirror. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Could only get into the building if you wore blue. We cannot get the | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
pictures of the front pages for some reason, I dent understand why so we | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
are going to have 18 minutes of discussion. And you would be | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
pleased. Let us start with the Telegraph, Hammond's warning to | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
business, irresponsible companies face backlash in push to put workers | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
on board and curb bosses pay. This is Philip Hammond saying that | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
customers want to know that workers' rights are being respected? Guillem | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
act yes and if you read some of the detail, he's talking about defending | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
government plans for workers on boards, he's going to take action on | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
executive pay, he is going to review workers' rights. All on the eve of | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
the Conservative conference, this is almost Corbin nonexpert. This is the | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
kind of thing that will make John McDonnell spit teeth. To know that | :01:30. | :01:39. | |
somehow or another. -- Corbynomics. We have gone a Labour Party quite a | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
long way to the left and that has pushed the Tories even further to | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
the left so I don't know who is right and who is left. Are you | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
convinced by that? Yes. A lot of unions will be pleased and they are | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
concerned that Brexit means that they will have to give up the | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
workers' rights that is bestowing on us by membership of the European | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
Union? I think this interview tells us a couple of things, first of all | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
this suggests that Theresa May has taken charge over Philip Hammond. | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
They have not been elected together, they were thrown together but the | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
fact that Philip Hammond are saying things that you normally associate | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
with Theresa May indicate that he is part of a team and he's not going to | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
go his own way. Secondly tells us that Theresa May wants to be Angela | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
Merkel, it is highly ironic that our Conservative Prime Minister is | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
adopting Christian Democrat European style social and economic policies. | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
What happens in Germany is you have a state managed corporatism whether | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
stating courage is things like workers sitting on boards. That is | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
reflective of her approach towards capitalism, she's not a metropolitan | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
liberal that is into corporations doing what they want, she's not a | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
libertarian. She is a provincial woman. She has been surrounded by | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
small business people all her life, she's someone who sees things from | :03:06. | :03:17. | |
the point of of the shop floor, she has talked about helping the working | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
classes. We are going to see at the conference this week, a very new and | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
distinctive personal brand of conservative. And kitten heels. And | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
what is interesting is that things that Philip Hammond has said, and | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
immigration protecting skilled workers and making sure that the | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
economy doesn't suffer too much, this is the kind of thing that will | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
worry a big chunk of the Conservative Party who you might | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
want to personify as being more white wing or pro-Brexit, saying | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
this sounds like we are not going all of the way for Brexit, how this | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
is all going to work internally if they start having some social | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
Democratic, economic policy that is not currently existing Conservative | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
theology I suppose, ideology, how that is going to work internally, | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
because Liam Fox, John Redwood, Boris Johnson, David Davis, are | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
going to start having hissy fits about this? Yes. We will come back | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
to Theresa May and her control in the times in a minute. The Daily | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
Mail says there are secret taxed eels for football millionaires, they | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
are about to cut their income tax is, how so? It is very complicated, | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
when you are paid by a couple paying football comedy get your salary but | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
there is an issue of what happens to your image rights, like your face | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
appearing on towels and lunchboxes, which apparently happens. Hitherto, | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
what has been happening allegedly is that some players have been diverted | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
the income from the club into the image rights, it means that they can | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
pay a corporation rate of tax on the money they earn rather than an | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
income tax level. The Daily Mail says that what has been going on for | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
two years without us realising is that HMRC allegedly has been saying | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
to players that you shouldn't really do that but if you are going to do | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
that then OK but you can only do that with a fifth of your income. | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
Now they know about it, now suddenly we there about it and that is what | :05:18. | :05:27. | |
the Daily Mail is reporting. Compare to previous behaviour in the image | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
rights, there is an accountancy loophole that the HMRC has caught up | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
with, they have put a limit on how much you can do that, on the one | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
hand, that appears to be HMRC pulling its fingers out, on the | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
other hand when the Daily Mail tries to find out what the current deals | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
are, HMRC have delayed, denied, said no comment, not put stuff out, | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
refused to answer and so despite months of a newspaper asking what | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
the dealers, they haven't said. It doesn't matter whether HMRC think it | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
is popular or not, if this is official policy, with what is | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
happening with tax funding, it is something that everyone should know. | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
So if you have a photograph of yourself with a byline, could you do | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
the same with your newspaper? You can but I don't think you would get | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
away with it. If you are having a picture used with a company website, | :06:23. | :06:30. | |
that is the issue as well. One particular group, is getting | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
favourable treatment. Might image may be used as a dart board. So I | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
don't know if I should be getting money. The Times, saying she is a | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
control freak MP? It just sounds like she has taken over a new job. | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
They are making a lot out of this, is things like Mr Cameron's aides | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
were hustled out of number ten within minutes of him leaving, will | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
that is fairly normal. Apparently Samantha Cameron has met with Philip | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
made, to look at image. And Arab Obama said he was impressed with the | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
gender balance at her team, it doesn't sound like much of a coup | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
d'etat for me. It sounds slightly contrived. Samantha Cameron met with | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
Philip made to talk about a Prime Ministerial spouse, I want to know, | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
what it meant: make sure you have the right kind of bikini for the | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
beach. Watch a wallpaper choices, because when foreign state leaders | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
visit you will have your picture taken. The Daily Mail will be | :07:44. | :07:52. | |
reporting how much oil lamps cost. I would just be fascinated. I'm sure | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
that Philip may sat there and went Ono. To defend, it is true and feet | :07:56. | :08:04. | |
street feels that part of the problem with Theresa May is that she | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
is so self-possessed and self-controlled, she keeps her own | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
counsel and she doesn't gossip and leak stuff. We need a wreck as our | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
Prime Minister. -- we want. Try to piece together a personality | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
profile, don't forget, the conference is the first big chance | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
to present herself to Britain and explain what she's going to do. | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
Trying to piece together some picture of her private life is | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
Ashley pretty hard to do. No wonder they are going on about her shoes so | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
much. Character is all they have got. Polish builders have been saved | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
from Brexit, European construction workers and tradespeople are set for | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
an exemption. This was a worry, that key workers who were not bankers | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
were going to find it difficult to come and work in the country? It was | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
one of those on main things that was going to be discussed at length, | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
whether we were going to lose the migrants, or whether there was no | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
point. Unsurprisingly, there will be some kind of a fudge, where you | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
store have the migrants that you need. But as with everything with | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
Brexit, you have to see the inside of it to see what the text is, but | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
this can only be speculation because we do not know. There have been no | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
deals, no discussion, has anything been published yet, about what is | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
gay to happen with freedom of movement, maybe a freedom of | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
movement with some foreign country. A sort of EU style freedom of | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
movement. Or whether we will have any kind of movement, we don't know | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
so this whole front page is guesswork. There will be a lot of | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
occupations that will want to have opportunities like that? Yes it is | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
not clear exactly what system will suit that, we thought it might be a | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
points-based system, it has been suggested that is not tough enough. | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
The interview we have got with Philip Hammond, he insists that | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
whatever happens, access to high skilled workers will be retained yet | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
we have also been given word that the system will involve quotas in | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
some way and actual numbers will be brought down because when Theresa | :10:24. | :10:36. | |
May was Home Secretary, she said she felt frustrated in her attempts for | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
immigration so that suggests that there will be an attempt to reduce | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
numbers, but exactly who and how they will manage that and who | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
decides how the workers are important. Britain divorce lawyers, | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
draft Brexit on art, wine and property, our share of the spoils. | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
This is the most important thing in any split, I made sure that my | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
husband didn't get the wine. He doesn't know that. He does now. I | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
was drinking it for years, it was brilliant. What they are talking | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
about is that although we are going to split, don't laugh, it is true. | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
There are a lot of EU assets. So although we will have to lose money | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
on one side, our trade negotiators are going to look at the other side | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
of the balance sheet in terms of apparently, we owe them a part of a | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
European art collection. According to the amount that we pay into the | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
EU we may well have some sort of claiming rights over 5000 bottles of | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
wine. But only 250 bottles of spirits. 2.25 euros million worth of | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
art and 10 million euros worth of book value at European Court of | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
Justice building, and they will also talk about pension deals because | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
there are British citizens who are employees of the EU through us in | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
Brussels who have pension rights, who have jobs in the have to decide | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
what they are going to do in terms of keeping it on. Whether we will | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
pay their pensions for 50 years down the road, it is like any divorce, it | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
is the pensions and the assets that cause the real row. I say keep it | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
simple, just that half of the wealth down the middle and we will take one | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
half and they will take the other. One of the things that stands out, | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
is a building. It is 32 Smith Square, the former home of | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
Conservative Central office, is currently run by the EU on behalf of | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
the European Parliament and in that building Nigel Farage currently has | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
an office. Says he's rented an office in the EU which we are going | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
to take back anyway. What a confusing mess. We are going back to | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
the mail. I am putting it to one side because I was hoping we did not | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
have to talk about this. The Daily Mail. Charlatan George, charlatan | :12:55. | :13:05. | |
pull-out. -- Charlotte and George. Do you have a problem with this? Why | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
would I? This is great, this is about projecting Britain around the | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
world, this is about building bridges and alliances and | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
reaffirming historical ties. That is what the Royal family exists to do, | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
they are human beings but they are also effectively bankrolled by us, | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
they are the face of us and what they can do to spread joy around the | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
world and increase its image and earning power, I say God bless you | :13:31. | :13:42. | |
man. Your 32nd start now. You are entirely right, this Canadian trip | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
is not just a nice holiday, this has been arranged purely because we are | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
currently involved in Canadian Brexit negotiations. Canada has | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
recently talked about and EU trade deal for itself and it wants us to | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
join a trade deal, we would be quite keen on joining it, so that we can | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
Brexit sooner. Part of the reason therefore, you have a royal visit, | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
it was when William and Kate turn up, there is lots of fantastic | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
beneficial effects from that and you have more tourism. You can bring a | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
whole swathe of government officials along with you and lots of media | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
coverage and tourist spots. What is wrong with that? The fact is that is | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
what the raw family is poor. But I don't think that is what a | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
16-month-old child should be doing. They are sweet young children but | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
they had been born into a family that does this for a living whether | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
they like it or not and I tend to think that the children should be | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
going on a trade deal mission which is what this is and many of them are | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
coming up in the next year or 18 months around the world. They should | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
be doing that when they are 15 and 18 not when they are 16 months and | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
three years old. They can take them with and not have a photograph, that | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
is what happens, Kate and wheels are very good at making sure, the fact | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
that they are being pushed out like this is purely to put money in | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
businessmen 's pockets, it is not to make us happy. I think that there | :15:06. | :15:14. | |
should be a creche that they are put into. I might ask them to give you | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
some parenting advice. The Guardian says that Syrian regime blocks 80% | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
of the supply. Just six convoys reaches it. How much of an exclusive | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
this is I don't know, but the scale of the obstruction is what leaks | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
out? Absolutely, the ceasefire has broken down effectively, the great | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
powers have not managed to bring peace and stability, the reason for | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
that is because the side they are backing have contrary aims, which | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
this appalling story is a reflection what matters to President Assad is | :15:51. | :15:58. | |
not ending the civil war, bringing peace and stability, what matters is | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
securing control of the hit, and even if it means securing aid, he | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
will do it. What can the international community do about it? | :16:08. | :16:15. | |
It is almost impossible, there is no guy in a white hats that you can | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
back to be the eventual victor. There is no promise of democracy, | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
there is just horrible people. So it will be messed the matter what you | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
are going to do and I think it is too late to do anything about it. It | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
is going to be what it is going to be, it is a vacuum. | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
Mighty change with a change of American president? No, one | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
candidate supports the policy status quo had argued he was responsible | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
for the status quo in Hillary Clinton and the other candidates | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
point of view in Syria are very hard to concern. They are crazy. They | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
imply that he's not ready to do the job. Finally, the Stealth bedroom | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
tax, the poorest pensioners to lose hundreds of pounds a year. But I | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
thought, that there was supposed to be some kind of exemption or extra | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
help? There is supposed to be a system by which you can claim by | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
your local authority some emergency support, but that was a finite fund | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
that was set up under the coalition government. That money will have | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
long since run out so it may well be that you will be further hit by a | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
bedroom tax and there is going to be problems for you. However I did see | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
something saying that the bedroom tax was not going to be committed | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
quite as harshly so who knows? And of course its official name is the | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
spare room subsidy and you could argue that with the housing crisis, | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
can we afford to have people living in homes bigger than they need? | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
Equally the scale of housing problem is such that the number of families | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
affected by it is so comparatively small that the idea of driving one | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
person out of their home in order to free it up for seven people is | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
arguably fantasy. I have no reason to say this, but I get the | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
impression, that what is happening in number ten, everything is on the | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
table. It might be another area of welfare reform they are trying to | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
roll back and this is the kind of headline, I have an instinct that it | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
is the kind of thing that reason they doesn't want associated with | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
her government. Just as cold. As it is here. That is it for tonight, | :18:36. | :18:47. | |
don't forget, you can read a detailed review, on the papers page | :18:48. | :18:57. | |
of our Internet. And each night addition is posted shortly after it | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
is finished, and also thank you to Tim Stanley and Susan Boniface. | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
Coming up next is: the | :19:09. | :19:09. |
