:00:19. > :00:21.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:22. > :00:25.With me are the Huffington Post's Entertainment Editor Caroline Frost

:00:26. > :00:31.and Parliamentary journalist Tony Grew.

:00:32. > :00:37.Do not worry I have checked the tax returns and they are all right! You

:00:38. > :00:40.look worried! Tomorrow's front

:00:41. > :00:45.pages, starting with The Independent leads on today's

:00:46. > :00:47.financial revelations The Metro brands Labour leader

:00:48. > :00:51.Jeremy Corbyn a "tax bodger" for getting his return to the taxman

:00:52. > :00:53.five days late. The Prime Minister comes out

:00:54. > :00:55.fighting, says the Guardian, as he battles to draw

:00:56. > :00:58.a line under the row Sense at last, says

:00:59. > :01:01.the Daily Express, as David Cameron backs the right of parents to pass

:01:02. > :01:04.wealth to their children. And The Daily Telegraph also leads

:01:05. > :01:07.on the Prime Minister's fight back against what they call a "lynch mob"

:01:08. > :01:09.unleashed over his After a mother is jailed for life

:01:10. > :01:15.for murdering her toddler daughter, The New Day focuses on failings

:01:16. > :01:18.that they say have led to many The Times reports that more families

:01:19. > :01:22.are installing cameras to protect elderly relatives from theft

:01:23. > :01:27.by care workers. And the Financial Times says the EU

:01:28. > :01:30.is under pressure to block a deal that could reduce the number

:01:31. > :01:49.of mobile phone providers you had the pleasure of being in the

:01:50. > :01:54.House of Commons today. You would think it was the end of January,

:01:55. > :02:03.with all these tax returns being filed! The Prime Minister came to

:02:04. > :02:10.the Commons, the first time it had sat since the Easter recess. The

:02:11. > :02:16.first five minutes of his statement was all about his own taxation of

:02:17. > :02:22.fierce, with relation to his parents. What was interesting was

:02:23. > :02:28.that while the Prime Minister was speaking, the Labour leader 's tax

:02:29. > :02:34.return was suddenly launched. We will talk about him in a minute. All

:02:35. > :02:44.the politicians coming out, the mere of London, the Labour leader, the

:02:45. > :02:50.Chancellor of the extra. What is behind this? The view of the Prime

:02:51. > :02:58.Minister is that the Prime Minister, the Chancellor and the shadow

:02:59. > :03:08.versions on the opposition bench should all make the tax returns

:03:09. > :03:14.public. Here are some MPs seeing the public mood is that we have to be

:03:15. > :03:16.transparent. MPs have been running scared from the public since the

:03:17. > :03:57.expenses scandal. I saw the tweets and it says Jeremy

:03:58. > :04:01.Corbyn has been earning an MP's salary and does not have any savings

:04:02. > :04:15.and do you trust this man to run the economy? Is that how we want things

:04:16. > :04:19.to go? In America politicians don't have too publish their tax returns,

:04:20. > :04:22.but they have two published their medical records. If you are going to

:04:23. > :04:29.run the country, the public should know as much about you as possible.

:04:30. > :04:42.Is making all MPs reveal their tax returns going to far?

:04:43. > :04:53.I wonder what would satisfy the public. Their frowns in the house

:04:54. > :04:57.because David Cameron has been seen to pay too much money because he has

:04:58. > :05:03.earned too much money, but someone who doesn't earn enough is seen as

:05:04. > :05:09.not making the grade either. Jeremy Corbyn talked about the need for

:05:10. > :05:14.trust. I was reminded about the husband the mobile phone. If you

:05:15. > :05:19.trusted me, you would not to look. If you trusted me, you would show me

:05:20. > :05:22.everything in your phone. I am thinking we should elect people that

:05:23. > :05:27.we trust and then leave them to get on with running the country. This

:05:28. > :05:37.seems to be a distraction. As you were saying and Jacob Rees Mogg

:05:38. > :05:46.alluded to this today, the expenses scandal. People who are representing

:05:47. > :05:53.us might not be kosher in certain matters. That is go to the Times.

:05:54. > :05:59.Family firm pays Osborne ?45,000, but no corporation tax. That is

:06:00. > :06:06.correct. Companies can carry over losses. He has been paid a dividend

:06:07. > :06:13.as a shareholder. That is not a tax dodge. It is legal for them to do

:06:14. > :06:21.and lots of companies do that. They can take a loss and roll it over for

:06:22. > :06:25.a couple of years and then pay corporation tax. So why is the

:06:26. > :06:35.front-page headline there. Nothing illegal about it. Because I know how

:06:36. > :06:40.rich Cameron and Osborne. We now know exactly down to the last pound

:06:41. > :06:51.how much they are worth. Again, for me, we made a significant cultural

:06:52. > :06:57.shift in our politics. The much more important legal documents from

:06:58. > :07:03.Panama that we we have got of focus on, because it is about politicians

:07:04. > :07:08.and celebrities, and the calls we want to know that Boris at paid

:07:09. > :07:19.nearly ?1 million in tax. Why are none of us infuriated by Boris's tax

:07:20. > :07:25.bill? That is bigger, so it should be more infuriating, but it's about

:07:26. > :07:30.this dodge. There is no suggestion that there has been a dodge. We knew

:07:31. > :07:40.that Boris was well paid, so we are not surprised. We know he has

:07:41. > :07:49.written bestselling books. He has a significant other income. Also he is

:07:50. > :07:53.not in the Cabinet, he is an MP. But yes, we are getting into the

:07:54. > :07:57.situation now where this could become normal and one of the

:07:58. > :08:00.concerns is it would further put of good people you want to be in public

:08:01. > :08:10.service. They will think if they are going to dig into things that were

:08:11. > :08:16.legitimately private a year ago, and just to point this out, Churchill

:08:17. > :08:23.would not have got through this. He's finances were shocking.

:08:24. > :08:28.Shockingly wealthy? No, in disarray. It is great for us as journalists

:08:29. > :08:33.because great stories will come up, even just from these returns, but as

:08:34. > :08:40.I said, there is some concern, and one Tory MP made a comment where he

:08:41. > :08:45.said anyone who is attacking the Prime Minister hates wealth. And if

:08:46. > :08:51.we keep that up, we will end up with a House of Commons full of low

:08:52. > :08:56.achievers. The front page of the Metro, Caroline. Going back to Mr

:08:57. > :09:02.Corbyn, the tax dodger. He filed his return late and had to pay a ?110

:09:03. > :09:07.fine. I'm sure people will have sympathy with him. David Cameron has

:09:08. > :09:15.been working so hard to present himself as an everyman with summer

:09:16. > :09:18.trips to Cornwall and the Canary Islands and tucking away the estate

:09:19. > :09:25.in the Highlands and Jeremy Corbyn has done it by messing up his tax

:09:26. > :09:29.return. He has done what every single person has done because they

:09:30. > :09:36.are not organised because they are so busy. We are now going to go to

:09:37. > :09:43.the financial Times. British Steel is back. Would not want to give the

:09:44. > :09:48.impression that tax returns were the anything is discussed in the Commons

:09:49. > :09:55.today. Interesting the form of words the government is using. Coinvestors

:09:56. > :10:01.means partly nationalised. How could be party of Margaret Thatcher the

:10:02. > :10:08.considering partly renationalising the still industry that her

:10:09. > :10:12.government sold in 1988? There are lots of factors involved. The still

:10:13. > :10:17.works in the North of England were not given this level of support. But

:10:18. > :10:23.there is an election in May and the Tories are hoping to do well. There

:10:24. > :10:28.are factors that have come into play as to why support has been given,

:10:29. > :10:34.but as a country, it is probably not good if our in Tyers steel industry

:10:35. > :10:39.collapses and we can't create steel. It would be a real problem.

:10:40. > :10:44.Caroline, the suggestion that British Steel, at least the name is

:10:45. > :10:48.back, and the fact the government is investing in the industry in a

:10:49. > :10:55.wholehearted way suggest it does have a real future now? I mean, it

:10:56. > :10:59.feels like it is going into vintage status. You know when things are

:11:00. > :11:03.really on Trent then go out of fashion, then go so far at a fashion

:11:04. > :11:10.that you get this new nest out of the something that as you said, was

:11:11. > :11:14.an enormous brand. We are all too young, obviously, but a proper blast

:11:15. > :11:18.from the past. You do wonder where it is going and if this is a

:11:19. > :11:25.re-emergence in an industry that we thought had disappeared. Families

:11:26. > :11:31.should put cameras into homes of elderly relatives. Caroline? This

:11:32. > :11:39.cuts to the heart of anyone who has elderly relatives. The idea that you

:11:40. > :11:44.spend your money, you go to great attention and care to get someone to

:11:45. > :11:50.look after them and then the times with a story like this. The carer is

:11:51. > :11:54.caught not only neglecting her awards, but exploiting the situation

:11:55. > :12:00.and picking in her purse. Experts are now suggesting that more people

:12:01. > :12:04.put CCTV cameras within the homes as both a disincentive and a way of

:12:05. > :12:09.catching people out. I can't stand stories like this. They make me sad.

:12:10. > :12:18.It makes you wonder why there are not CCTV is all over this -- CCTV is

:12:19. > :12:24.all over homes. There has been a spike in these incidents. There is

:12:25. > :12:35.nothing about this that is not depressing. One aspect of it is it

:12:36. > :12:39.is easy to blame other people -- blame elderly people. They are

:12:40. > :12:44.senile. They are vulnerable and it is tragic that carers are taking

:12:45. > :12:48.advantage of them. The actual carer is looking up to see if she can find

:12:49. > :12:54.the CCTV camera. She is looking in the wrong direction. Then she

:12:55. > :13:04.pilfered the purse. Now to the express. Tom Jones's wife has died.

:13:05. > :13:10.They had been married for 59 years. They met when they were 12, got

:13:11. > :13:14.married when they were 16. It is interesting. Tom Jones has been

:13:15. > :13:22.famous so long. He has had different Carnation. Welsh valley boy, the

:13:23. > :13:27.Vegas years, LA, seducing various women across the globe, as he has

:13:28. > :13:32.always professed. The whole time his wife has been in the background. She

:13:33. > :13:35.came to the fore last jed when he published his memoir and talked

:13:36. > :13:40.about the fact that he may have had all of these other ladies in his

:13:41. > :13:44.life but only one woman had his heart and sadly he lost her over the

:13:45. > :13:50.weekend. It is amazing that you can meet someone at 12 and still be with

:13:51. > :13:54.them, in terms of your marriage and everything is going as well as

:13:55. > :14:00.perhaps it can, right to the very end. It's not just about being

:14:01. > :14:05.together that long. Think about how much her life change. A 16-year-old

:14:06. > :14:12.girl from the valleys. That's what I find most interesting. His life

:14:13. > :14:17.change because he is a performer. He hung out with Alvis in the 60s, but

:14:18. > :14:24.for the wife, it has been interesting and unusual. I suspect

:14:25. > :14:31.when they met and married, they did not think their lifestyle would

:14:32. > :14:35.change significantly. People like Richard Burton and people who have

:14:36. > :14:40.married a young sweethearts, that is the first chapter. Then you hear

:14:41. > :14:45.about the chapters later on and they are so often in these great showbiz

:14:46. > :14:53.stories the history of the wife left behind, but yet there she was. She

:14:54. > :14:58.did not like to fly. Off he went on was this great international showbiz

:14:59. > :15:06.personality was at home all that time. It has been great having you

:15:07. > :15:11.on. Many thanks. That is it for The Papers. A bit of run-through of some

:15:12. > :15:19.of the other papers that have just come into worse. The Daily Mirror

:15:20. > :15:37.brands the Chancellor the chance of the exchequer. The sun leads on what

:15:38. > :15:42.it calls a pushy transfer as Adam Johnson prepares to move to a lower

:15:43. > :15:47.category team. And back to the biggest story of the day as topology

:15:48. > :15:51.shins reveal their earnings. All the front pages are online on the BBC
