09/10/2016 The Papers

Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

With me are Matthew Syed, who's a columnist for the Times,

and Charlie Wells, who's European Features Reporter

The Financial Times says Germany is stepping up attempts to lure

The Metro lampoons the Home Secretary,

calling her Amber Rudderless, after she ditches plans

to make companies list their foreign workers.

The NHS is under attack by cyber criminals, says the i,

with hackers demanding millions of pounds in ransom money.

The Daily Telegraph leads on comments by the Housing Minister,

who suggests grandparents should leave their homes

to their grandchildren to help ease the housing crisis.

The Guardian says the UK is planning to move immigration controls

to the Republic of Ireland to avoid a "hard border" between north

They born into Theresa May on the possible impact of tighter

immigration controls. There is a surfeit of coverage on

Donald Trump. This is the metro, top Republicans deserting Donald in

their droves. How can they dump him at this stage? That is not the

question I would ask, it is why have they not want him already, after

those comments about Mexicans, that they are criminals and rapists,

building a wall? Piece are disgusting things about disabled

people, he is clearly misogynistic, and it is remarkable that John

McCain had been with him to this point, the senators who are now

jumping ship because they think that they may be tainted in their

re-election campaigns by association. It is remarkable that

this man, the number of things he said publicly, as opposed to this

illicit conversation that he said privately, has not been sufficient.

It was interesting, in your interview with Nigel Farage, whether

the American public have already discounted this aspect of his

personality, and if they are pre-committed to him, if they are

going to change their vote or not. There is something special about

this video, its comments, and how authentic it seems. There is this

idea about how average people don't trust institutions that have been

around for a long time, mainstream media, political parties, and this

video almost looks like a Facebook video, it is shot in a bus, it seems

like banter between two people, and that is why it is resonating so

much. It is remarkable, when he is on the record, he says things that

are outrageous and extremist. Because this was Private, I am not

saying it is not disgusting, I would never endorse it, it is horrible,

but it was a private conversation that was illicitly recorded, so for

this to be the breaking point is odd, it should have happened a long

time before. The Financial Times says the Republicans are in crisis

as officials abandoned the campaign. Some senior figures in the party now

say they want nothing to do with him. This is John McCain, Mitt

Romney, the previous political candidates, George Bush says he will

vote for Hillary Clinton. This article focuses on Congress and how

a number of senators who are in tough re-elections are distancing

themselves, and the party is trying to maintain control of the Senate

and the house and moving away from Donald Trump. The Guardian says he

hits out at Republican hypocrites. He says he still has a lot of

support, he is critical of the leadership, and says they are

self-righteous. He is so pugnacious. This is a time for contrition. One

imagines that his tacticians have told him before going into the

debate tonight, at 2am, I am thinking of staying up, it will be

exciting. If he can sound contrite at the beginning, that will play

well with the religious right, who he needs on side to a large extent,

given he has alienate it so many other groups. Under pressure, it is

difficult for him not to come out swinging, he is pugnacious. This

tweet about self-righteous hypocrites, that is him in the raw.

If he decides that he is going to come out and start talking about the

allegations against ill Clinton, is that raising the bar in the way that

will help him? In this story, we see the word hypocrites in the headline,

he is calling the Clintons hypocrites. He has talked about the

indiscretions, about Hillary Clinton enabling that behaviour, and a lot

of commentators said he is a wounded animal, he could almost do anything.

It will be interesting. He is under pressure, and when somebody like

that is cornered, you can imagine fireworks, he will not be able to

stick to the game plan. The format of the debate is unique, it is a

town hall, you have to work the audience, you have to work the

opponent, and the TV audience. That will add flocks. A picture of him

with his daughter. Talking about comments that he is said to have

made to his own, or about his own daughter. This is in a conversation

with Howard Stern. Donald Trump has struggled with suburban voters in

the United States. They are a key demographic. I don't think talking

in this way about his daughter will bode well. Speechless, really,

voluptuous and a piece of something. Tactically, I am interested in the

psychology of performance, it will be interesting. There are big issues

at stake, the future of the world, just that! But it is interesting,

the psychology of these set piece debates, with the whole nation

watching. The world watching. The pressure has intensified. It is

highly volatile, what will happen tonight. Let's stay with the

Telegraph, inheritance should skip a generation, says minister. The

Minister says tensioners should forget their kids and hand there is

date, there has savings,... It works if they change inheritance tax laws,

does it? They would not even need to do it. The point is that adults were

able to buy homes when they were less relatively expensive, and their

parents as well, and so grandparents should skip a generation, so my

parents would give their money to my children, rather than to me. I am on

the ladder, I am lucky enough to be there. House prices have gone viral,

especially with quantitative easing. They are talking about

intergenerational injustice, it is a fair point, I just wonder if it is

workable. Will people accept what a politician is telling them to do?

Not everybody has wealthy grandparents. A lot of grandparents

don't own their own homes, they don't have large savings. How

controversial is inheritance tax in America? It is less controversial

than it is 40%, and another thing here, this idea of time. Make

investment and make time work for you, so the longer these

grandparents are in the market, they will grow and it could be beneficial

for their grandchildren. I want you as my financial adviser, I bought

all of that! Don't trust me with more than a 20 quid note! Let's look

at the Financial Times. Frankfurt steps up bid to win London banks

after Brexit. Germany looking at the change in Labour laws. This has been

on the cards, this is what the Remain camp said, London will not be

as attractive. I am an expat, I love London, no evidence to Frankfurt, I

would not want to go there. This article talks about stuff loving

living in London and would favour Amsterdam or Paris over Frankfurt. I

can see that. But this is big for the UK. It is such a big source of

tax revenues for the Exchequer. It is interesting that German ministers

have been meeting senior bankers, trying to change some of their

implement laws to make it more attractive as a place for them to

go. They could make the tax advantages... They could throw the

kitchen sink at it but bankers will not want to live in Frankfurt. The

city that will benefit is New York, potentially, they could do virtual

trading through Europe. They have said that New York could be the big

beneficiary. The big loser will be the British taxpayer. There was talk

of trying to make London remain as an attractive place, the passport

idea, so bankers could come and go even without freedom of movement

across the EU. With globalisation, that could be possible, even if

London does not remain part of the single market. But it means these

things could be happening from New York as well. When trades are made

in split seconds, it does not matter if there is an ocean in between. You

can't go to Frankfurt! They are already dejected in Germany! The

Guardian, the UK seeks to move border into Ireland. James Braid

clincher hopeful on talks with Dublin two strengthen immigration

controls. When we decided we wanted to leave the EU, that border between

Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland became of great interest,

because that is the land border between the EU and not. Which is why

this idea of extending the border to the whole of Ireland has been

approached. It is interesting, some technical details in this article.

They have said that President already exist. It is NHS thing

article, stop making me laugh! The Indian and Chinese visitors are

subject to a system, they apply for a single Visa valid for Ireland and

the UK. But that is because we are all in the EU at the moment. It

would be different, and there is a point about the Good Friday

Agreement, a volatile situation between Northern Ireland and the

Republic of Ireland, and this risks putting that into play again. What

is in it for Ireland to do this for Britain? It is a lot of work, I am

not sure. There is a quote, new Calais. That is serious. The French

have said, we don't want any more to do with this, and Britain has

immigration offices on the other side of the Channel. France could

easily say, no more, to that. This is highly sensitive politically. It

will be interesting to see the extent to which the British and

Irish governments can nail down a workable policy that makes the

borders secure without triggering some of the political sensitivities

that you mention. One benefit for Ireland, there is still movement

between the Republic and Northern Ireland. Without everybody having to

show passport. But part of the argument wanting to leave. We would

take back control of our borders. I am not sure that will happen. It

depends on the single market, for a start. What will it mean, will it be

hard or soft? All of that is still up in the air. The Conservative

Party have not got their ducks in a line, and there is a debate about

whether MPs should have the power of veto over the precise mechanics of

Brexit. How can Britain decide what it wants Brexit to look like? It is

a negotiation. It might not start until March. We'll line at airports

be longer? They are long enough already! They are very long!

Particularly in Ireland, potentially. Let's finish with the

Metro. A play on words. Rudderless Modi Home Secretary, Amber Road.

Labour ridicule her after a U-turn on plans to make all firms list

their foreign workers. This came up at the Conservative Party

conference, so we could get an idea of whether British firms are

employing home-grown talent or importing it. Theoretically, it is a

good point, if there is a deficit of talent in a country, and firms feel

they need to bring in foreign workers, it makes sense to develop

skills for the workers of the new country, but the controversy would

be naming and shaming, accusations of racism, people like me, who work

at firms that are based in the UK, might have their names published as

foreigners working in the UK. The optics of that are so prejudicial,

it sounds so bigoted, and it is interesting they have ridden back

from it. To interviews by Cabinet ministers, they said it would not be

made public on it is just a consultation. Amber Road must be

feeling very sensitive about this at the moment. The appalling on this,

even though many in the establishment say it is a disgrace,

an essay was written by Cameron's former adviser, going after Theresa

May and Amber Road strongly, the polling is 6-4 in favour of a policy

of naming and shaming, so there is a disconnect between the metropolitan

elite and what people... There always is, about everything. The

size of the gap is remarkable. They will no longer be the naming and

shaming, but the data will still be collected, because the argument is

you can then see where the skills gap is and train people in this

country to fill it. How acceptable but that the? I agree that the

skills issue is a massive issue for the British economy. But don't

forget the significance of the public relations disaster that would

unfold if Britain's reputation hitherto as a place that companies

can come and do business that is globalised, and internationalist, is

copper mines by a policy that is prejudicial to that. It is Sunday,

we are back again at 11:30pm. If you would like to make a comment on
