:00:14. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
:00:17. > :00:20.With me are Miranda Green from the FT and Christopher Hope,
:00:21. > :00:26.who's assistant editor at the Daily Telegraph.
:00:27. > :00:29.Let's look at some of the front pages.
:00:30. > :00:32.The Telegraph reports a suggestion by a Cabinet minister that the BBC
:00:33. > :00:33.has sought to smear the Culture Secretary.
:00:34. > :00:36.The Guardian leads on claims by the SNP that that thousands more
:00:37. > :00:39.Government inspectors are employed to tackle benefit fraud than tax
:00:40. > :00:43.The FT says officials believe George Osborne will have to consider
:00:44. > :00:47.selling the public stake in Royal Bank of Scotland at a loss
:00:48. > :00:56.because keeping it in the public sector is bad for the bank.
:00:57. > :01:03.The Metro focuses on a report predicting that first-time buyers
:01:04. > :01:08.will need a salary of ?64,000 to get a mortgage for a typical home I20
:01:09. > :01:12.20. According to The Times, Tristan
:01:13. > :01:16.David Cameron over Europe has slumped, suggesting the referendum
:01:17. > :01:22.is on a knife edge. The Daily Mail claims that we pay ?1
:01:23. > :01:24.of every ?7 given by rich countries in foreign aid.
:01:25. > :01:27.And the i says the UN has reprimanded Britain for failing
:01:28. > :01:37.We will start with the express, a crusade to quit the EU takes a huge
:01:38. > :01:42.leap forward, according to the Express? That's right. Is that?!
:01:43. > :01:49.This is an important day, in a way, you can see Electoral Commission
:01:50. > :01:54.named the official out two campaign and the official Remain campaign, it
:01:55. > :01:59.is the moment where battle commences. For those who have long
:02:00. > :02:03.wanted the EU to leave the EU, like the Daily Express, it is a great
:02:04. > :02:07.moment. They have waited a generation, this is a
:02:08. > :02:16.once-in-a-lifetime chance to try to convince the public to vote for Out.
:02:17. > :02:19.But they said something that is contradicted elsewhere, which is
:02:20. > :02:23.that the computing Brexit groups promised to put their differences
:02:24. > :02:28.aside and build a mass movement to quit. However, that is not reflected
:02:29. > :02:35.in every paper. Viewers and readers may be concerned, it is not the
:02:36. > :02:38.final battle, some papers have been fighting this battle for a long time
:02:39. > :02:45.in pointing out the weaknesses and mistakes and errors in the EU. And
:02:46. > :02:54.not pointing out the strengths? You could argue that, too. But the ten
:02:55. > :03:07.week EU referendum campaign starts on Friday. Ten weeks tomorrow... It
:03:08. > :03:14.starts official Friday, let's go one week only. Let's go to the Financial
:03:15. > :03:24.Times, the Express trumpeting that the battle for Britain begins,
:03:25. > :03:29.bursts the designation of Vote Leave as the official Out grouping sparks
:03:30. > :03:33.feuding? Not everybody has been reporting this, it is two groups
:03:34. > :03:39.fighting for the right to be the official designated Brexit, British
:03:40. > :03:45.exit, group. It turns out that the regulator has given the right to a
:03:46. > :03:48.group called Vote Leave, the establishment vehicle backed by
:03:49. > :03:52.Michael Gove and the main Conservative Cabinet ministers who
:03:53. > :03:59.said they were backing Out. It means they can spend up to ?7 million,
:04:00. > :04:03.then they can raise money and ?7 million, the other groups can only
:04:04. > :04:09.spend ?700,000, they have an advantage, they can spend more. But
:04:10. > :04:14.these other groups, by aggregating all of that parts of ?700,000, can
:04:15. > :04:25.spend a lot more, it is OK by the rules. But Grassroots Out, the
:04:26. > :04:32.organisation led by Ukip and Nigel Farage, which lost out on being the
:04:33. > :04:36.designated Out grouping, will sue? They are seeing lawyers today and
:04:37. > :04:42.tomorrow morning. That could mean that if a judge orders a stay on the
:04:43. > :04:46.process it could delay the June 23 referendum, because you need your
:04:47. > :04:51.10-week window, which starts on Friday, or it won't happen any more.
:04:52. > :04:57.Unbelievably, this could go on forever. So going back to the Daily
:04:58. > :05:03.Express, the battle for Britain beginning, it might not. May be as
:05:04. > :05:10.battle between the Brexit groups will remain a sideshow, or maybe it
:05:11. > :05:13.will disrupt the process itself. Clearly, the Remain campaign will be
:05:14. > :05:16.hoping there is a lot of Nigel Farage on the telly talking about
:05:17. > :05:21.his attempt to derail the official Brexit campaign, because what they
:05:22. > :05:25.would like on the Remain side is as much Ukip as possible, because that
:05:26. > :05:34.is not a turn on for the middle-of-the-road voters. Farage
:05:35. > :05:37.once the two to come together. He is quite keen on the two getting
:05:38. > :05:41.together and working out a way forward. But I am saying that on the
:05:42. > :05:46.Remain side they want as much barrage in the news as possible so
:05:47. > :05:57.there is a battle going on between the two sides. Yes, but does Vote
:05:58. > :06:01.Leave once Farage? On the Leave site, many want to move on, someone
:06:02. > :06:06.to stay and fight field battle. Nigel Farage said he wanted to bring
:06:07. > :06:10.them together. During the general election last year we had a lot of
:06:11. > :06:15.coverage of what they call process stories, and, in the end, not enough
:06:16. > :06:20.coverage of the substance of the case and the issues, and if we have
:06:21. > :06:25.ten weeks of process issues about who is in and out of various sides,
:06:26. > :06:29.it will not be very helpful to the electorate, it would be good to move
:06:30. > :06:35.some substance. Lovelace let's go to The Times, voters turn away from the
:06:36. > :06:39.EU as trust in Cameron slides. The vote is on a knife edge,
:06:40. > :06:47.Corbynista make the speech was staying in Europe first remark he
:06:48. > :06:52.makes a big speech tomorrow? MIRANDA: he does indeed, it is
:06:53. > :06:59.important that Labour mobilises if Remain has any chance. That this was
:07:00. > :07:03.Cameron peers tactical move to buy off the wing of his own Conservative
:07:04. > :07:07.Party worried about Ukip and the centre of gravity of the
:07:08. > :07:12.Conservative Party has moved to yours get the glaze. He is the
:07:13. > :07:18.figurehead, like it or not. Whether Corbin could convince Labour voters
:07:19. > :07:22.to back Cameron peers rather crazy throughout the day 's referendum is
:07:23. > :07:27.very, very difficult to bet on -- whether Corbyn could. When I look at
:07:28. > :07:31.this story I am amazed. Less than a year ago David Cameron and George
:07:32. > :07:34.Osborne pulled off a spectacular surprise winner of a majority in the
:07:35. > :07:38.House of Commons for the Conservative Party, here they are
:07:39. > :07:42.now and the authority has just led away from David Cameron because its
:07:43. > :07:50.issue. But while I agree. I think it is likely Cameron peers fault. In
:07:51. > :07:53.75, Wilson stood above the referendum, he got it happening and
:07:54. > :08:01.let everyone fight. Cameron has put himself on one side and fired via
:08:02. > :08:04.the other side, on which said many of his Cabinet members. His position
:08:05. > :08:11.as Prime Minister becomes attacked, not a good look. Arguably you could
:08:12. > :08:15.say that he has the deal and will let everyone fight over it, arguably
:08:16. > :08:19.you could say he has attacked the other side. I would say it has
:08:20. > :08:24.damaged his authority in the party and the country. Is that the debate
:08:25. > :08:28.over the EU referendum that has affected trust, or Panama Papers or
:08:29. > :08:35.a combination? In this article it said that the economy is an issue,
:08:36. > :08:41.but there is a feeling of overstretch at the heart of
:08:42. > :08:47.Government, you are seeing that with Panama... The steel crisis. Why was
:08:48. > :08:54.Sajid Javid in Australia, not in Mumbai on the day it happened,
:08:55. > :08:59.fighting for Tata Steel? I think this is causing problems. They are
:09:00. > :09:03.starting to look a bit accident prone, you don't want an accident
:09:04. > :09:12.prone leader, you want a leader who attracts a lock, then luck builds
:09:13. > :09:16.trust, etc. -- attract luck. Why they have gone through this in 2016
:09:17. > :09:21.instead of waiting for the last moment in 2017, as promised, they
:09:22. > :09:25.wanted to go early to avoid what is normally referred to as mid-term
:09:26. > :09:29.blues, when every Government becomes unpopular in the mid-term, you take
:09:30. > :09:34.unpopular decisions, you have irritated certain groups. But
:09:35. > :09:37.already they have irritated enough people that they are experiencing a
:09:38. > :09:43.slump that endangers the result. So I do saying that results could oil
:09:44. > :09:50.down to confidence in Cameron rather than the issues relating whether we
:09:51. > :09:54.should be in or out? A few weeks out it will be more about the position.
:09:55. > :10:02.This article is about what Corbyn has done on Europe, not much. Alan
:10:03. > :10:11.Johnson is the Labour lead campaigner for Remain. He is not
:10:12. > :10:16.doing enough. Really, 31% of the electorate want to hear from Corbyn
:10:17. > :10:21.and the Remain side hope they can convince him to vote, because
:10:22. > :10:25.currently Cameron is speaking to the minority who voted him in the last
:10:26. > :10:31.election. The Guardian, Christopher, benefit
:10:32. > :10:36.fraud or tax evasion, a row? It is a real head for the SNP at my
:10:37. > :10:41.ministers questions, and as Robinson has got some numbers showing there
:10:42. > :10:47.are over 3000 DWP, Department for Work and Pensions, staff, assigned
:10:48. > :10:52.to investigate welfare fraud, and just 300 dealing with the rich. So
:10:53. > :10:58.the idea is why the Government is chasing after low margin examples of
:10:59. > :11:04.welfare fraud when they are not going for the big ticket items.
:11:05. > :11:08.Arguably, we said earlier that this is perhaps the type of opposing that
:11:09. > :11:11.Jeremy Corbyn should be doing, arrows aimed at the heart of
:11:12. > :11:16.Government which will give you a splash hours later on the front of
:11:17. > :11:22.the Guardian. This is interesting, the suggestion is that ?1.3 billion
:11:23. > :11:29.is lost in benefit fraud every year. A relatively low amount. Yet they
:11:30. > :11:34.have 3000 plus inspectors. Yet it is ?34 billion, officially, lost in tax
:11:35. > :11:41.evasion. Labour says it is actually ?120 billion. What is going on? In
:11:42. > :11:48.recent years, during the coalition years, they bumped up the number of
:11:49. > :11:52.people trying to target unpaid tax, both corporate and personal, we
:11:53. > :11:58.should say, because the big-ticket tax evasion is why companies, if we
:11:59. > :12:02.could get that right and if all of the countries in the EU and
:12:03. > :12:08.to prevent multinationals playing to prevent multinationals playing
:12:09. > :12:15.games with where they claim they are making a profit, it would make a
:12:16. > :12:18.huge difference. I agree, this is really good politics. Angus
:12:19. > :12:23.Robertson has come up with a killer fact, that the numbers investigating
:12:24. > :12:27.tax evasion are totally dwarfed by the numbers investigating welfare
:12:28. > :12:32.fraud, which is quite a low cost to the taxpayer. Christopher, why isn't
:12:33. > :12:42.Jeremy Corbyn saying this? Good question. On Wednesdays, I watch him
:12:43. > :12:47.perform, he is quite windy Ritter, he seems quite impatient with the
:12:48. > :12:53.MPs shouting -- quite a windy rater. I don't really maximises his six
:12:54. > :12:57.questions. He needs to have this type of sharp questioning, it will
:12:58. > :13:01.deliver head on the Government, there is no point in being in
:13:02. > :13:05.opposition if you cannot make heads. We only have 30 seconds, diet for a
:13:06. > :13:11.year to keep the weight off for good. The three others felt very,
:13:12. > :13:16.very slim and light! We don't have to worry about this. Miranda? There
:13:17. > :13:22.has always been a confusion about why if people go on the diet and
:13:23. > :13:25.come off, the weight goes back on instantly, they have worked that you
:13:26. > :13:28.had to do it for a full year for the chemical reactions in your body to
:13:29. > :13:33.stop telling you to eat too much, essentially. You know what they say,
:13:34. > :13:39.diet always begin tomorrow, this seems yet another good reason to not
:13:40. > :13:46.even started. The start of the diet for the referendum campaign starts
:13:47. > :13:49.tomorrow! Christopher, Miranda, thank you for coming in.
:13:50. > :13:52.Don't forget, all the front pages are online on the BBC News website
:13:53. > :13:55.where you can read a detailed review of the papers.
:13:56. > :13:57.It's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers,
:13:58. > :14:00.and you can see us there too with each night's edition
:14:01. > :14:02.of The Papers being posted on the page shortly
:14:03. > :14:05.Thank you Miranda Green and Christopher Hope.
:14:06. > :14:23.Good evening. I know it has not been everywhere but if you have enjoyed
:14:24. > :14:24.the sunshine and the warmth we have experienced across southern
