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
