premiership play`off final and in rugby, news regarding two of | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
England's fly halves. Welcome to our look ahead at what | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me on Beth Rigby and | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
John Kampfner. Let us have a look at some of the front pages. Starting | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
with the Financial Times. The Bank of England is close to raising | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
interest rates. The Daily Telegraph is reporting | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
that 15 million British users of eBay have to change their passwords | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
after a security breach. The Independent is wondering if | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
David Cameron and Boris Johnson will be stars of the European elections. | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
The Guardian says an internal Liberal Democrat briefing paper is | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
warning senior officials that the party could be completely wiped out | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
in the European elections. The Metro also leads on the bridge | :01:04. | :01:15. | |
of eBay users online. `` breach. The Daily Mail says Russian | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
diplomats will demand an explanation from the Foreign Office after Prince | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
Charles reportedly likened Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler. The Express | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
says more than half a month's rainfall could fall tomorrow. The | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
worst weather being experienced in the south. | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
The Times as is at least 400 people a night are sent home from hospital | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
between 11pm and 6am to relieve pressure on wards. | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
Starting with a big event, the elections. UKIP polled to win the | :01:50. | :02:00. | |
European elections. A disaster for the Tories and Lib Dems. We were | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
pondering if the Sun has lost its Mojo. It is not bad. Moving swiftly | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
on, one of the interesting things he had when it does the breakdown of | :02:16. | :02:24. | |
the vote, if you add together the vote of the two main parties, that | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
is less than 50%. When was the last time that happened? The two | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
recognised main political parties got less than 50% in any national | :02:39. | :02:48. | |
vote. If you add in projected turnout, which is likely, what is | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
the proportion of people who actively cast their ballots for | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
either of the two main parties, it really does throw into question not | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
just two comes out that well on Thursday night, but generally the | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
state of our politics. People are fed up and this uncharted, they feel | :03:12. | :03:20. | |
this affect it. `` this uncharted. The Sun says that if they do come on | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
top, it has been labour or UKIP who would top, they would be the first | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
party to top eight national ballot without having a single local MP. | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
This is going to be a really seminal moment in British politics. People | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
are very disillusioned out there. They are turning to UKIP. People in | :03:47. | :03:55. | |
the north of England, heartland labour voters, they are turning to | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
UKIP. In the south`east we seek disaffected Tory voters are turning | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
to UKIP. The question is whether Nigel Farage can go to areas where | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
they have a show of strength and turn this from a European election | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
success into something bigger. The three main political parties are the | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
very worried that he might be able to do that. The challenge will be to | :04:23. | :04:35. | |
try and keep the parties together. I think MPs are going to be spooked. | :04:36. | :04:45. | |
You are going to be looking to the 2015 election nervously. It is quite | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
late on in the day for them to topple their leaders. They have got | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
to try and keep the parties under control. Find a strategy that might | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
win. I suspect there are very few people in the wider public who would | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
be able to name another UKIP representative. Anyone else. This | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
party has been built on the shoulders of one man. More to the | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
point, everybody who does, a number of figures who have tried to attach | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
themselves, have got themselves and the party into trouble. They racist, | :05:28. | :05:38. | |
they this, are they not? It produces a bad headline. Over the last few | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
months, Fleet Street has got its teeth in. Before they saw him as an | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
amusing pantomime artist. They are doing proper reporting on him and | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
his people. Every story. It is like, the more that she is attacked | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
by what he calls the established elite media, the more it plays into | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
this whole image of the man against the establishment. I know they are | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
very different animals, but why did it not work for Sarah Pailin? Why | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
has it worked so well for Nigel Farage? We are talking about a | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
different set of circumstance, but that sense that he is an outsider, | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
that he is attacking the establishment, tapping into that | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
sense that people feel disenfranchised. She included | :06:40. | :06:50. | |
because of all kinds of things. `` imploded. Nobody is thinking that | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
Nigel Farage will be deputy. Nigel Farage claimed he was tired and put | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
forward other reasons for what he said. Talking about remaining is the | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
way that he did. `` Romanians. None of that has affected him. The point | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
about Nigel Farage is you cannot take him out of the context where he | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
is operating. He is operating in a postrecession country were people | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
have been feeling really pressed. We are only just coming through that. | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
It is a crisis that has thrown the entire European project into doubt. | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
A lot of hard questions have been raced across all European countries | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
about the European Union, immigration. It has played into his | :07:47. | :07:59. | |
particular brand of politics. On to the Guardian. It is the Liberal | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
Democrats who could have a lot of problems as a result of UKIP's | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
success. Although, there will be pleased to know that in this exit | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
poll, in this poll on the eve of the election, it says that they are | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
going to get three MEPs. The poll is predicting that they will come in | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
behind the Greens. They will not completely be wiped out. The one | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
silver lining for the Lib Dems, is everybody will be factoring what | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
happens over the next few days. They will be working out how that will | :08:45. | :08:53. | |
impact on the general election. The Lib Dems are notionally going to | :08:54. | :09:03. | |
fight 615 seats. But if I was a seat beyond number 60, I might as well | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
put my feet up. They will be focusing on 40, 50, 60 seats. They | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
did so well in the easterly by`election. The other point I would | :09:16. | :09:25. | |
make about the Lib Dems in coalition is that they have been really bashed | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
about. They have been universally derided in the press. And yet as a | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
party they have remained incredibly disciplined. They are going to have | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
another drop in the polls, but what has been incredible has been this | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
show of strength and this unity they have demonstrated. It may not get | :09:50. | :09:58. | |
them anywhere? They could still, after all of this, it is a question | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
of a lot of hypotheticals, they could still be powerbrokers in a | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
year. It depends on the government. If they do not implode in the next | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
few weeks. There is not much sign, there is always wrong doings in any | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
political setup. But as long as that is not go farther, they will focus | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
on a few dozen seats. Staying with the Guardian. Police Federation. One | :10:29. | :10:39. | |
man who was at this speech given by Theresa May, he felt as if they were | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
being told off by a schoolmistress. The job of a school teacher is to | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
tell recalcitrant pupils off. The Police Federation has been a basket | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
case. It has massively failed to serve the public. Theresa May is | :10:59. | :11:08. | |
quite a divisive figure. I reckon 98% of the population will agree | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
with this message that she has given the Police Federation. Sort | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
yourselves out and if you do not, we will legislate. There was also this | :11:18. | :11:26. | |
suggestion in what she was saying, the suggestion that it is a few | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
rotten apples within the force. It is more than that. She is | :11:33. | :11:41. | |
painting... We had a look on your website and looked at how she | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
delivered the speech. It was incredibly powerful. She is the a | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
politician at the height of her power. What she could play two in | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
the tons of this speech, a speech that no other Home Secretary would | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
have dared to have done, there has been a string of scandals around the | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
police that has undermined their legitimacy. She is coming at it from | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
a strong position. Also, she is a politician that is waiting in the | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
wings with her eye on the leadership of the Conservative party. She wants | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
to make a stand. She wants to challenge the vested interests. That | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
is what she was doing today to great effect. I think she knows the public | :12:30. | :12:38. | |
are on her side. On to the Financial Times. The Bank of England is edging | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
closer to an early rate rise. It is not a matter of if, but when. A lot | :12:45. | :12:53. | |
of quarters of economic recovery, inflation is going up, property | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
prices are going up worryingly quickly. The Bank of England are | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
looking at whether or not to raise this base rate from its historically | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
low rate of 1.5%. This is going to be a massive moment when it happens. | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
What I think is interesting about this is what it means politically in | :13:18. | :13:28. | |
the election year. When people are getting back on their feet, everyone | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
is feeling a bit more comfortable. The Tories are going to fight the | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
election on the economic recovery. George Osborne does not want to see | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
interest rates go up and mortgages go up. This is going to be a smack | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
in the face for people who have struggled with their cost of living. | :13:50. | :13:58. | |
It is not up to him. They always say that the year before elections is | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
the worst time to do anything difficult. The Bank of England might | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
have thought of doing it a few months ago. Particularly in the | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
south`east. If they do not do it now, it will probably be a bit late. | :14:15. | :14:23. | |
Some would disagree that it is unsustainable. Let us end with the | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
Daily Telegraph. Do you buy things on eBay? I have been known to. I got | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
a call from my bank, saying that somebody had gone walkabout with my | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
credit card. Nothing to do with this. It is this whole idea of data | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
going astray and everybody using a few passwords. I always forget my | :14:49. | :15:00. | |
passwords. This is a huge story. Particularly as it is alleged in one | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
of the papers that it took them several months to actually tell | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
people. I spoke to an analyst that said he was amazed this would | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
happen. Considering what eBay deals with, he says it was fairly easy, | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
what the hackers did. The other thing that concerns me about this | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
story, obviously eBay owned a massive transactional firm. If you | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
are an eBay user, this story fills me with total trade. It would be | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
really interesting to see how this affects the brain. `` total dread. | :15:44. | :15:53. | |
`` affects the brand. They have got to under `` 200 33 million accounts. | :15:54. | :16:07. | |
`` 233. It is a good reminder that we do not take security seriously. I | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
am changing my password. I nearly taxed into my partner to tell him to | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
do it between paper runs. `` text into. | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
