:00:13. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:17. > :00:19.With me are the Political Commentator, Vincent Moss,

:00:20. > :00:21.and the Political Editor at the Sunday Express,

:00:22. > :00:25.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with:

:00:26. > :00:27.The Sunday Express leads on the announcement that

:00:28. > :00:30.a new "supergroup" will be unveiled this week,

:00:31. > :00:34.uniting voices calling for Britain's exit from the EU.

:00:35. > :00:37.A key adviser to Margaret Thatcher, Lord Powell, believes the former

:00:38. > :00:39.Prime Minister would have supported David Cameron's Brussels deal -

:00:40. > :00:46.that's according to the Sunday Times.

:00:47. > :00:48.The Observer fears Government plans to restrict council homes

:00:49. > :00:51.for the very poorest will mean that tens of thousands of families

:00:52. > :00:58.leads on a letter it's received from more than 40

:00:59. > :01:02.Conservative Party Associations, "angered", it says,

:01:03. > :01:04.by David Cameron's instruction to Tory MPs to ignore

:01:05. > :01:18.The Help for Heroes charity is being investigated by the Charity

:01:19. > :01:21.Finally, The Independent on Sunday dedicates its front page

:01:22. > :01:24.to the efforts being taken to tackle obesity, but criticises the policies

:01:25. > :01:26.of both the NHS and the Department of Health.

:01:27. > :01:34.Not showing any preference, we will start with the Sunday Express.

:01:35. > :01:39.Caroline has an exclusive. Extra brownie points for you. After a week

:01:40. > :01:42.when we can say there has been so much infighting in the out campaign,

:01:43. > :01:47.it seems that there is finally going to be a big supergroup, a

:01:48. > :01:54.unification of 15 of those Brexit groups. I am told there are 47 of

:01:55. > :01:59.them in total, but 15 of the biggest will merge with the grassroots out

:02:00. > :02:11.campaign and the idea is that they will speak with one voice. They are

:02:12. > :02:15.going to go for designation. The next edge in this campaign is that

:02:16. > :02:19.they need to get designation status to become the league campaign in

:02:20. > :02:22.this fight. It seems now that the merged group is going to put itself

:02:23. > :02:29.forward as the official out campaign. How well blended are the

:02:30. > :02:34.let stay in campaign? Much better than the let's get out campaign, for

:02:35. > :02:38.whom to say they have had a week which has been incoherent and

:02:39. > :02:41.plagued by backbiting would be to make an understatement. They have

:02:42. > :02:48.had a terrible week. Nobody knows what is going on, so it does make

:02:49. > :02:51.sense to get a unified voice together and push the message in

:02:52. > :02:54.that way. At the moment, the public are already fairly turned off,

:02:55. > :03:01.because nobody understands the message from either group because of

:03:02. > :03:05.the chaotic infighting. It is getting lost. People are shouting

:03:06. > :03:08.over each other, leaving one group in joining another. Ultimately, this

:03:09. > :03:13.is about trying to draw a line under the infighting and saying actually,

:03:14. > :03:17.we have an incredible opportunity to make a historic decision. Let's lay

:03:18. > :03:21.out the facts for people and make sure both voices have a clear

:03:22. > :03:26.message, which is why the Sunday Express today also has an opinion

:03:27. > :03:30.editorial written by the lead of the outgroup and a leader of the in

:03:31. > :03:36.group, setting out the arguments for staying and going. A nice balance,

:03:37. > :03:42.well done. The Sunday Times has lots of stories about the EU. This one

:03:43. > :03:49.says that would vote yes to the EU. Her closest adviser fuels Tory civil

:03:50. > :03:54.war -- he says Thatcher would vote yes to the EU. The Sunday Times have

:03:55. > :03:58.resurrected Margaret Thatcher, who we are told confidently by the

:03:59. > :04:06.Sunday Times would vote yes to the EU. They have sourced this to Lord

:04:07. > :04:12.Powell, who works for Margaret Thatcher in the 80s. It is a further

:04:13. > :04:18.indication of the huge battle, particularly for the support of

:04:19. > :04:21.wavering Conservatives, to back-up the Prime Minister's campaign to

:04:22. > :04:26.reluctantly stay within the EU, but on much an on better terms that the

:04:27. > :04:31.Prime Minister is confident he will negotiate. But there has been a bit

:04:32. > :04:38.of a slap down by Lord Tebbit. When I saw this headline, we were

:04:39. > :04:45.expecting Margaret Thatcher to speak from the grave. They are saying that

:04:46. > :04:48.if she was here, this is what she would think. Of course, Margaret

:04:49. > :04:52.Thatcher is one of those figures in the Conservative Party who is still

:04:53. > :04:57.held with enormous affection, so anybody trying to suggest that she

:04:58. > :05:02.would support David Cameron is supposed to swing people behind

:05:03. > :05:07.David Cameron's deal with Donald Tusk. Lord Tebbit says of Lord

:05:08. > :05:15.Powell, here's an apparent chick, not a politician. Oh, dear -- an

:05:16. > :05:20.apparent chick. Daily Telegraph. 44 local party bosses have written to

:05:21. > :05:27.the Daily Telegraph. I wonder if they were invited to do so. Perish

:05:28. > :05:33.the thought. Warning that David Cameron has known divine right. What

:05:34. > :05:38.are they upset about? They are upset about the fact that David Cameron

:05:39. > :05:43.has said to his MPs, you should vote with your heart, not necessarily the

:05:44. > :05:50.way your constituency would want you to. The feeling is that a lot of

:05:51. > :05:57.associations are very Eurosceptic and he doesn't want the MPs to

:05:58. > :06:03.necessarily vote the way their party association would. There are threats

:06:04. > :06:07.of the selections. No MP is going to go against their association, it is

:06:08. > :06:12.their bread and butter. Although we are a long way off another election,

:06:13. > :06:16.so they have a few years to claw back votes. But these local

:06:17. > :06:24.associations have long memories and they are brutal when it comes to

:06:25. > :06:32.dealing with MPs they don't feel are loyal enough. I would not want to be

:06:33. > :06:40.the MP who perhaps voted to stay in in a very Eurosceptic area. It would

:06:41. > :06:44.be a brave man or woman. A final bit of EU in the Daily Mail. Revealed,

:06:45. > :06:50.the Cabinet minister who will fight to leave the EU. Who is this? It is

:06:51. > :06:55.Priti Patel, the employment minister. She does sit in the

:06:56. > :07:00.Cabinet, but she is not a Secretary of State. She is well-known for her

:07:01. > :07:05.Eurosceptic views. In many ways, it was inevitable that the Sunday

:07:06. > :07:08.papers would be rushing to get somebody to break ranks this weekend

:07:09. > :07:12.after the Prime Minister told everybody to be quiet until after he

:07:13. > :07:19.secured his deal in two weeks' time. The Mail on Sunday has come up with

:07:20. > :07:22.Priti Patel. I have not seen her comments, but she is clearly going

:07:23. > :07:29.to say something exciting about the fact that she backs Brexit. We need

:07:30. > :07:35.pages eight and nine, Mail on Sunday! Moving away from the EU,

:07:36. > :07:39.Help For Heroes in shock charity probe. The Charity commission are

:07:40. > :07:44.feeling the need to investigate. Why? Yes, the Mail on Sunday has put

:07:45. > :07:50.together a number of allegations about the charity, which raises lots

:07:51. > :07:56.of money for servicemen since it was set up in 2007. But there are

:07:57. > :08:00.ex-staff who have been disgruntled and claimed they were gagged when

:08:01. > :08:03.seeking unfair dismissal. There have been allegations that there were

:08:04. > :08:10.data breaches when ex-servicemen have had details of their condition

:08:11. > :08:13.passed on. The Charity commission says it is looking at those

:08:14. > :08:18.allegations, but Help For Heroes says it looks after thousands of

:08:19. > :08:20.people and takes its responsibilities to set high

:08:21. > :08:25.standards very seriously, although there is a piece from Tim Collins, a

:08:26. > :08:30.former SAS hero who made an inspirational speech, saying their

:08:31. > :08:36.questions here that have to be answered. Took us through what the

:08:37. > :08:39.Charity commission are saying and what Help For Heroes is saying? We

:08:40. > :08:44.must stress it is only an investigation. The Charity

:08:45. > :08:48.commission said it is working with Help For Heroes to resolve the

:08:49. > :08:52.concern over the alleged failings of the charity, which may have led to

:08:53. > :08:56.private details of traumatised soldiers' private psychiatric

:08:57. > :09:00.treatment being exposed. We must say that some of the allegations here,

:09:01. > :09:05.there are not substantiated details about them, one being that there was

:09:06. > :09:09.an attempted suicide. Help For Heroes have said they take their

:09:10. > :09:13.responsibility very seriously, and they set the highest standards to

:09:14. > :09:22.ensure that they have the best staff. So they are worrying

:09:23. > :09:29.allegations, but the investigation is ongoing. Lawyers for the charity

:09:30. > :09:34.have said they did not have any details about the allegation

:09:35. > :09:38.attempted suicide a soldier who is claimed to have suffered in their

:09:39. > :09:42.care. The charity said it was not the subject of a full statutory

:09:43. > :09:45.investigation by the Charity commission and it was normal for big

:09:46. > :09:52.charities to have regular updates with the regulator, which is true.

:09:53. > :09:57.You are now seeing newspapers looking at charities across the

:09:58. > :10:07.piece. You had stories about Age UK and Kids Company, famously. The

:10:08. > :10:12.media are now looking at charities. It has become a real issue. We have

:10:13. > :10:17.just seen the bill go through the hassle of Parliament which is

:10:18. > :10:19.supposed to beef up the powers for organisations looking into what

:10:20. > :10:26.charities are doing. They're clearly needs to be more scrutiny and better

:10:27. > :10:31.oversight from government and the Charity commission. Let's look at

:10:32. > :10:37.the Observer. Families to be forced out of council homes. This is likely

:10:38. > :10:42.to affect 60,000 households. What is the move here? It is something

:10:43. > :10:49.George Osborne suggested, that from April mid year, if you earned a lot

:10:50. > :10:53.of money, depending on your circumstances, 40,000 if you are

:10:54. > :10:57.inside London, you would have to pay the market rate for your council

:10:58. > :11:02.property. Although 40,000 sounds a lot in some parts of the country, if

:11:03. > :11:06.you had a family in a three or four bedroom house in central London or

:11:07. > :11:10.even in outer London, you would not be able to afford to get a similar

:11:11. > :11:15.property at the so-called market rent, because rents are so

:11:16. > :11:17.expensive. So the Observer is highlighting this report from the

:11:18. > :11:22.Local Government Association saying that almost 60,000 households would

:11:23. > :11:27.be forced to leave London. And how easy is it to do that? That whole

:11:28. > :11:31.lives are here. When you are employed in a particular job and you

:11:32. > :11:36.have children at schools, it is difficult to see how that would

:11:37. > :11:39.work. But it is something we have seen from Osborne for a while, the

:11:40. > :11:44.idea that you should pay a fair rate for things and that it is too easy

:11:45. > :11:50.for people to be subsidised and on benefits. This follows the benefit

:11:51. > :11:55.cap. And the spare room subsidy. Or the bedroom tax. It all plays into

:11:56. > :12:00.the problem of not having enough housing and the supply and demand

:12:01. > :12:04.issue. Everything has gone through the roof, no pun intended. The

:12:05. > :12:09.Observer also says a humanitarian disaster looms in a as Assad's

:12:10. > :12:12.forces cut off rebels. We have seen thousands of people moving towards

:12:13. > :12:17.the Turkish border to try get out of Aleppo before it is completely

:12:18. > :12:21.besieged. That's right, and it all has consequences, because that is

:12:22. > :12:30.going to fuel the migration problem, with more people heading towards the

:12:31. > :12:41.West. There will be a huge problem if this continues in Aleppo.

:12:42. > :12:46.One of the other consequences is that this will bleed into the whole

:12:47. > :12:51.debate about Europe and the referendum, because people will see

:12:52. > :12:55.these pictures and the concern might be played on by the more ruthless

:12:56. > :12:58.elements of the Eurosceptic side of the argument, saying, these people

:12:59. > :13:02.are heading towards our shores and if you stay within the European

:13:03. > :13:08.Union, this is what you will face. And we will have no power over our

:13:09. > :13:12.borders. A quick look at the Sunday Times. Cyber thieves hack the

:13:13. > :13:18.taxman. Sounds funny, but at the end of the day, the taxman has only got

:13:19. > :13:24.the money we have paid in taxes, and it seems that the money is being

:13:25. > :13:28.hacked when we are paying taxes online. Looks as though they have

:13:29. > :13:32.discovered a case in their own newsroom, ironically, because the

:13:33. > :13:38.Sunday Times executive had this happen to them. The thieves tried to

:13:39. > :13:41.get a rebate against her self-assessment form. She put in a

:13:42. > :13:46.claim and the taxman had written back to her, saying,

:13:47. > :13:50.congratulations, you are due a rebate. Then they wrote back a few

:13:51. > :13:56.days later, saying, actually, we made a mistake and you may have been

:13:57. > :14:00.hacked. We know they can get into your bank accounts if you are

:14:01. > :14:05.unlucky. Looks like they can even get into HMRC. They are getting more

:14:06. > :14:09.and more sophisticated. The number of times I have received e-mails

:14:10. > :14:15.purporting to be from particular organisations, I had one recently

:14:16. > :14:19.from PayPal. And Skype as well. And then you think, hang on, I don't

:14:20. > :14:23.have one of these accounts, so how can I be owed this money or have to

:14:24. > :14:27.pay this bill? It is worrying, and is used to be where crime is going.

:14:28. > :14:30.It is not being mugged on the street, but people sitting in their

:14:31. > :14:34.bedrooms at home and coming up with cunning ideas to get their hands on

:14:35. > :14:38.your money. Because the amounts of money are so much bigger. In this

:14:39. > :14:43.case, they were trying to get about ?1800. And if you do it online, I

:14:44. > :14:49.imagine there is less chance of getting caught and if you are

:14:50. > :14:55.involved in street crime. Finally, the Sunday Telegraph has a rugby

:14:56. > :14:59.pitch. Bright start to England's new dawn. We have a picture of England

:15:00. > :15:05.captain Dylan Hartley celebrating a winning start after their 15-9

:15:06. > :15:11.victory over Scotland. Terrible start for Scottish fans, but this is

:15:12. > :15:18.the way English fans want it to be going. You are looking at me, and I

:15:19. > :15:27.am going to look at you blankly. I did not look at the rugby. The rugby

:15:28. > :15:30.picture does feature England's victory over Scotland. But really,

:15:31. > :15:35.the big sportster is the triumph of Leicester City and how they are at

:15:36. > :15:40.the top of the Premier League. I am so pleased you mentioned that. I

:15:41. > :15:47.have tried not to, because Clive Myrie is a Manchester City fan and

:15:48. > :15:56.he would be very upset. Vincent and Caroline will be back.
