the Financial Times tips this summer for the referendum on British

We can begin with the European Union, Will Britt and exit the

European Union? Daschle Will Britt and exit -- Will Britt exit. What

should the Prime Minister do? The Eurosceptics feel they are being

muzzled, told they cannot campaign against openly, and they feel the

Prime Minister has said, even though he has not secured this deal, that

he is hoping to get, that he has already made his mind up and he does

not have a plan B for what happens if we do vote to go out when the

referendum comes and that is what this story is all about. The Daily

Express is a Eurosceptic paper and they backed Ukip at the last

election and they clearly are reflecting that particular

perspective in the debate. It is fairly clear, from what people have

said, which MPs are for the EU and which are against. Yes, but what we

will see, as the collective responsibility is lifted, the divide

will go from the top to the bottom of the party, and there has been new

estimates about how many people in the Cabinet and how many MPs on each

side of the fence and we will see more of that once the deal is

reached. Looking at the Financial Times, getting a business

perspective. This is the headline, David Cameron aims for some voters

and business plays down exit fears. What are the standings that you

leaders, talking about how most of them think it will have a negative

effect on the British economy, but I don't think it will affect them, but

when you talk to companies outside the UK, Japanese and American

car-makers, for instance, they feel very definitely, that it would make

a difference to their business, if the UK was not in the EU and they

see the UK as a launch pad for their businesses that might affect

investment in the UK. The subheading here, Prime Minister, than of

striking a deal with the EU, but this is a far cry from what he set

out to achieve initially. Yes, and he has not struck it, that is the

other problem. They feel that the deal that he is going to get, even

his highest optimistic deal is actually a very limited agreement

which ends the principle of ever closer union, the pie minister says

that is a significant change which protects opt out agreements -- the

Prime Minister. Critics say this amounts to nothing very much, and

the Prime Minister has not struck this deal anyway, and on the issue

of benefits and free movement, that has gone out of the window, and

regarding benefits, Harter said he will get anything at all, and that

is at the centre of what has been his alleged strategy for trying to

strike and renegotiate our deal -- hard to say he will get anything.

This week, before the Treasury Select Committee, we have the

vice-chairman of Barclays investment division, saying there would be

disruption if we came out of the EU, but the City of London would still

be the leading financial sector in Europe in ten years' time. And there

is talk that businesses think themselves, that they would not

suffer, and so the idea that this is all a disaster, this will provide

succour to those who are campaigning for a no. What would the deal have

to look like to convince either camp to change their mind at this stage?

There are many people in the Conservative Party, regardless of

what David Cameron can secure, they will not change their minds, and the

Prime Minister has to get something which will convince 51% of the

general public. Another interesting thing, in terms of the timing, we

are talking about if he reaches a deal in February, that could mean a

vote in the summer, and if you talk to officials in Brussels, they think

the timing infirmary is very ambitious and challenging and some

would say unrealistic, so maybe it is March rather than fabric but

maybe the vote will then be later than summer -- rather than February.

He has aways wanted to get it over and done with as quickly as

possible, that is what he does like to do, and the critics will say that

he is rushing to one without striking a deal, because he wants to

get out -- it out of the way. And now to the metro. This is about the

Cologne attacks, there seems to be more detail about how the attacks

took place against a many women on New Year's Eve. This story talks

about the justice minister in Germany, saying that it was an

organised crime network who perpetrated the attacks, and this is

the latest escalation for Angela Merkel, who is usually various jute,

the -- usually very astute, but this has come back to haunt her. It has

continued to escalate and now pulling out of Davos is the latest

problem. The attacks were co-ordinated using a variety of

means. That is what the Justice Ministry are saying, and I suppose

if they were on organised crime gang rather than individual people, I

suppose they are bad people in the first place, if they come from an

organised crime network, so maybe it makes it easier to deal with that

kind of person and that kind of criminality, without it being a

general pattern of behaviour which is one of the toxic things which has

been raised in recent days in Germany, that this reflects general

behaviour by migrants in that country, and that would be even more

difficult to deal with for Angela Merkel and a very negative thing if

that were seen to be the case. The Daily Telegraph. BMA has advanced

CORBA -- -- the BMA has advanced

Corbynitis, according to Boris Johnson. There have been suggestions

that there are links from the BMA to Labour, and that is the line of

attack from Boris here. There is politics going on here, as to the

rights and wrongs of this strike, and Boris Johnson is getting stuck

in, in typical colourful fashion, suggesting it will be left dominated

an old-style militant action which should not be happening. He's also

making the point that there are certain occupations that you don't

expect to see strike. Yes. Doctors is a charged one, and coming back to

your point, Boris Johnson is harking back to the 1980s and the hard left

troubles of Labour. Much politicking. I'm not sure it is

entirely justified to paint them in that light, they feel they have a

grievance, whether they are right, personally I think it is

unjustifiable to keep suggesting you have got to work additional hours

and then they get paid extra for working the evenings and at and from

that perspective the change which is recommended by the government is in

essence right, but the issue is, compensation for that, and the

doctors say also an issue of safety, but I think it is unfair to paint

that as a politically driven thing. It is clearly about what the doctors

believed to be about pain conditions and what happens to patients. The

independent. Sean Penn mates El Chapo, when he meets Joaquin Guzman

-- Sean Penn mates. He has escaped high security prisons on two

occasions. He dug his way to a shower room. Much controversy over

an Sean Penn meeting him. This was the interview that the actor did for

Rolling Stone magazine, published over the weekend. Questions being

raised for the actor now, what responsibility does he have given

that he was meeting with a wanted criminal? Another person involved,

Mexican actress who helped facilitate the interview, and given

that she is in Mexico, it might be easier for her to be tracked down

for the Mexican authorities, it will be hard for the Mexican authorities

to interview Sean Penn if the Americans do not want that to

happen. The Mexican officials have said him having this meeting but

Sean Penn help them catch on. Of course, if they got wind of the fact

he was going to do it, they could track his phone and his

communications, that is probably how they did it, and then they could not

locate this major drug dealer in self -- and then they could locate

this major drug dealer himself or stop he is entitled to talk to such

a person, but the question is how you do it. The tone of the

interview. There was copy approval given to the piece, which is

questionable, although that happens with celebrities in this country

when they give interviews, they demand that kind of thing. Clearly,

you would hope the interview has been conducted in a way which put

tough questions to El Chapo, and the idea of having an interview with

someone like this is not reprehensible, even if it might be

distasteful to give someone like this publicity. It is quite a scoop

for Rolling Stone magazine. Finally, we go back to the Financial Times,

for a tiny news in brief story at the top of the page. Surge in

number, a 35 year high in mortgages, make sure heart sink. -- makes your

heart sink. This is depressing, you will be paying your mortgage for

ever and ever, a sign of increasing house prices and the difficulty of

buying anything for people, especially young people. We are

seeing increasing household debt, we need to dealer average after the

financial crisis, household debt is increasing again and it comes at a

time when rates are said to increase. To keep with the gloomy

theme, that does not bode well. What choice to people have if they want

to own their own property and these are the only terms they can get one?

If you are not buying your first house until you are 40... On a 35

year mortgage, that is a long haul. I don't know why we are laughing,

May because we already have mortgages. -- maybe because.
