:00:00. > :00:00.Westminster politics. Tributes are paid to singer

:00:00. > :00:15.songwriter Bobby Womack, who's died at the age of 70.

:00:16. > :00:23.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing

:00:24. > :00:24.us tomorrow. With me the journalist and author Matthew Green and the

:00:25. > :00:38.political journalist Sean Dilley . But other quick look through the

:00:39. > :00:41.front pages. Let's have a look. There's a dire warning about the NHS

:00:42. > :00:43.on the Observer, which says senior Tories have forecast it could

:00:44. > :00:46.collapse within two years. The Sunday Express says nurses could

:00:47. > :00:49.take on some of the routine jobs currently done by GPS, like

:00:50. > :00:51.check`ups for asthma, diabetes and high blood pressure.

:00:52. > :00:54.The Sunday Times says Labour leader Ed Miliband is under attack from one

:00:55. > :01:00.of his top advisers, for not attempting bold policies. ``GPs.

:01:01. > :01:03.And, the main picture on the Telegraph is of the Duchess of

:01:04. > :01:06.Cornwall, who's revealed she was moved to tears when she heard she

:01:07. > :01:08.had three great uncles who died in the Battle of the Somme. They're

:01:09. > :01:16.also pictured. So, let's begin. The front page of

:01:17. > :01:19.the Sunday Telegraph, the argument over David Cameron 's handling of

:01:20. > :01:24.the vote for the new president of the EU. He continues. Tories tell EU

:01:25. > :01:28.leaders they are cowards. He has support from his Cabinet. You have

:01:29. > :01:35.top Tory is rallying behind him as they would. `` Tories. Are we

:01:36. > :01:45.looking at... Will we look back and say this was the moment when Britain

:01:46. > :01:48.drifted out of the EU? This isn't about David Cameron, but about

:01:49. > :01:54.Britain and its relationship with the EU and how much people reading

:01:55. > :02:04.this article no and care. They don't care about the specific issue. This

:02:05. > :02:08.is important. The public don't care about Mr Juncker or what is a

:02:09. > :02:12.humiliation for David Cameron. They don't care about it, they are more

:02:13. > :02:19.interested in things that affect us day`to`day. It is alienating. A bit

:02:20. > :02:23.of a sweeping generalisation. They are probably people who know what

:02:24. > :02:29.the EU is doing for Britain. The message is not getting across.

:02:30. > :02:32.Politicians have this problem. Politicians will have to push what

:02:33. > :02:38.the EU does do for Britain. That task is more difficult, because Mr

:02:39. > :02:42.Juncker is the consummate EU insider and is not the person who can put in

:02:43. > :02:46.front of voters in Britain and say he is leading bold reforms and that

:02:47. > :02:52.the EU is moving in the direction most people want to see. It has made

:02:53. > :02:56.David Cameron's job much harder. This article doesn't explain why. It

:02:57. > :03:02.just talks about David Cameron and how it is isolating. That is true of

:03:03. > :03:07.a lot of coverage. It does not contextualise the shift within the

:03:08. > :03:10.EU. This is a political earthquake within the corridors of Brussels.

:03:11. > :03:15.Normally, it would be heads of state who nominate who is the head of the

:03:16. > :03:19.EU. That hasn't happened. It is the parliament who has taken that power.

:03:20. > :03:24.It is run largely by people we have not heard of. In parties we don't

:03:25. > :03:28.know much about. It is a nightmare in a way that parties like UKIP and

:03:29. > :03:34.others are warning about. UKIP are well out of it. David Cameron is

:03:35. > :03:39.more or less guaranteeing that by the recent words about Mr Juncker.

:03:40. > :03:44.More on that at election time. Moving onto the times. A story about

:03:45. > :03:51.Ed Miliband. Dead hand Miliband, blasted by top adviser. This is an

:03:52. > :04:01.adviser Ed Miliband speaks of highly as a radical and deep thinker in the

:04:02. > :04:04.party. He was at a meeting about policies, a public meeting, and the

:04:05. > :04:11.Sunday Times say they have a tape about what he said about Ed

:04:12. > :04:15.Miliband. It is well known that he is wing of the party and believed

:04:16. > :04:20.within the party that is why he was brought in to do policy, to sort

:04:21. > :04:26.some of the alienating left`wingers and bring them into the fold. In

:04:27. > :04:29.this instance, he says the party, not necessarily Ed Miliband, the

:04:30. > :04:35.article does not say, people got coded messages, those around him,

:04:36. > :04:41.general policy makers... He is talking about the inner circle. He

:04:42. > :04:45.once called me Gary O'Donoghue on the BBC. I can get his name wrong.

:04:46. > :04:50.He doesn't think policies are bold enough. If he is a radical thinker,

:04:51. > :04:56.isn't his job to push the party to be as bold possible. His critique

:04:57. > :05:01.will ring true for many people. He says Ed Miliband's inner circle is

:05:02. > :05:07.getting cynical nuggets of politics to time with pollsters. They want

:05:08. > :05:12.people to tell them what they should think, rather than set a bold vision

:05:13. > :05:14.and bring people behind it. It is politics as shelling shampoo or

:05:15. > :05:20.chocolate bars. What will people go for? We have 12 months until the

:05:21. > :05:25.general election and the manifesto is being thought about and policies

:05:26. > :05:30.are written up. But we look at welfare and this is what he is

:05:31. > :05:37.getting out. `` getting out. Speaking with the new statesman for

:05:38. > :05:40.instance, on welfare, the Labour Party policies and the Conservative

:05:41. > :05:45.Party policies meet on the centre ground and there is talk of whether

:05:46. > :05:48.it is compassionate enough. The concern many on the left of the

:05:49. > :05:53.party, including Jon Cruddas, is that they are going down the

:05:54. > :05:56.populist line, rather than the traditional Labour line. Will the

:05:57. > :06:04.loss of the core vote damage them at the election? Also, court test for

:06:05. > :06:09.Michael Gove's ban on holidays, this is his... It is a ban, but it is a

:06:10. > :06:14.fine, because if you take your child out of school term, to go on

:06:15. > :06:16.holiday, you get a fine. It is down to the discretion of the head

:06:17. > :06:24.teacher as to whether you can go. Not any more. Indeed. James Hayter

:06:25. > :06:29.more is apparently took his kids out of school to go to a memorial for

:06:30. > :06:34.their great`grandfather. Anyone would sympathise with that. He got a

:06:35. > :06:38.?120 fine. He has taken exception to this. He is bringing a court case to

:06:39. > :06:46.say that this denies him the right to a family life. It seems drastic

:06:47. > :06:49.to be ?120 fine. I disagree. What you are talking about, I was

:06:50. > :06:53.speaking with a parent I know the other day on this issue, you are

:06:54. > :06:56.talking about issues like funerals that people are being refused leave

:06:57. > :06:59.to take their children on. What will happen is they will take their

:07:00. > :07:04.children out and in some instances it is a fine and could lead to

:07:05. > :07:07.prosecution and a criminal record. We are criminalising parents and

:07:08. > :07:12.using the law where it should not be used. People lose respect for the

:07:13. > :07:15.law as a whole. On the other hand, there has to be something done to

:07:16. > :07:21.stop parents who don't bother to take their children to school.

:07:22. > :07:25.Giving the head master discretion. The head teacher said to the parent,

:07:26. > :07:29.you can possibly phone in and say they are sick. What do you mean? I

:07:30. > :07:33.can't give you permission to go to the wedding. Put it this way, if you

:07:34. > :07:38.say they are sick, I won't investigate. There are parents who

:07:39. > :07:42.argue that they have children they can't take during busy holiday

:07:43. > :07:46.periods, which is basically the school holidays, because they have

:07:47. > :07:49.conditions and special needs and they cannot go too crowded areas.

:07:50. > :07:53.There are parents who have special cases as well and that has been part

:07:54. > :07:58.of the argument. The other side of the argument, the sheer cost of

:07:59. > :08:03.taking your family on holiday because prices shoot up them. We are

:08:04. > :08:09.talking about funerals and memorials in this case and I say, go to this

:08:10. > :08:14.banker from a big company, JP Morgan, I say it is the principal,

:08:15. > :08:17.not the ?120 fine. I doubt it has about that. There are huge lobby

:08:18. > :08:25.groups about this involving thousands of parents. Moving onto

:08:26. > :08:30.the Observer. Another NHS story. This time, the pressure is on David

:08:31. > :08:34.Cameron, who has been warned the NHS is in danger of collapse within five

:08:35. > :08:37.years, this is from the ex` Health Secretary, calling for more funding

:08:38. > :08:45.and raising fears over few doctors as well. The NHS is on every party

:08:46. > :08:50.leader's agenda. What do you make of this? There seems to be a major

:08:51. > :08:55.problem coming. We know that though. At some point there has to

:08:56. > :09:00.be a debate about what will be done. Where will this money come from's no

:09:01. > :09:06.one has come up with that proposal. `` come from? You have something

:09:07. > :09:12.about this. You will go for Health Secretary, will you? Never become a

:09:13. > :09:17.politician, I am afraid. The biggest problem is that if you asked people,

:09:18. > :09:22.and I have experimented with Twitter, and I hope people will join

:09:23. > :09:26.in the # tonight, if you had to define the NHS, in one sentence,

:09:27. > :09:32.less than 140 characters, how would you do that's `` hashtag. No one is

:09:33. > :09:37.certain. The best we have had is that it is free at the point of

:09:38. > :09:43.delivery. `` how would you do that? It is about who we help. It is there

:09:44. > :09:47.to provide healthcare. It is supposed to universal healthcare.

:09:48. > :09:52.That is what the NHS is. It needs a royal commission. You think it

:09:53. > :09:58.should be a review? Let's not use that word. We have had a few. And

:09:59. > :10:04.policy reviews. What do we expect from the NHS? Everyone expects it to

:10:05. > :10:14.provide healthcare for everyone who needs it. Giving nurses more jobs to

:10:15. > :10:17.do. See what I did their? Radical plan to save overstretched doctors

:10:18. > :10:23.surgeries according to the Sunday express `` there? The idea that

:10:24. > :10:30.nurses will take up some of the jobs done by GPs, blood pressure,

:10:31. > :10:36.diabetes, so on. It is said to be a radical plan. Is it a radical? It

:10:37. > :10:44.might be a good idea. We agree on that. I went to the GP with my Mrs

:10:45. > :10:48.and Sheedy that. She had her blood is taken, it was done by the nurse.

:10:49. > :10:56.I have just realised that they are doing that. Many thanks for taking
