:02:59. > :03:06.a great strain on resources. That is an important point. Yes. I think
:03:07. > :03:12.there will be protests against what is happening. It is obviously coming
:03:13. > :03:20.at a time where the government has said they will make all schools into
:03:21. > :03:25.academies. Certain Tory MPs are also opposed to the idea and worries that

:04:05. > :04:11.headline is, Britain faces economic rupture if we leave the European
:04:12. > :04:16.Union. This is because of the long-awaited treasury report. Yes.
:04:17. > :04:21.Eagerly anticipated treasury report. This is the government setting out

:04:25. > :04:31.leads the youth. As you might expect they fear it might not be very good.
:04:32. > :04:38.Today's Telegraph warns it would be economic self harm to vote to sever
:04:39. > :04:42.ties with Brussels in June. He also says that it would be blue collared
:04:43. > :04:44.workers, people who work in manufacturing and those sorts of
:04:45. > :04:51.industries, who would be most hit by this. He is the new Work and
:04:52. > :04:58.Pensions Secretary, the new face of the split in the Tory government at
:04:59. > :05:03.the moment. This isn't a surprise. Each week we are getting something
:05:04. > :05:07.from a minister still loyal to Cameron coming out and saying
:05:08. > :05:11.exactly what the government would like. And this week the work and
:05:12. > :05:16.pensions secretary in this particular article. Also worth
:05:17. > :05:20.mentioning, Mihir, a number of other ministers saying we are getting this
:05:21. > :05:25.sort of information all the time. Chris Grayling making an important
:05:26. > :05:31.point, that David Cameron had said, leading up to the negotiations, he
:05:32. > :05:34.said, if we have to leave Britain could still survive outside the EU.
:05:35. > :05:39.Now the government seems to be saying they can't survive outside
:05:40. > :05:43.the EU, they will face a crash. So in some ways the debate between
:05:44. > :05:46.ministers is sharpening and it is interesting that this debate between
:05:47. > :05:51.ministers is much sharper and much more interesting than any debate
:05:52. > :05:55.taking place between Labour and the Conservatives. Same story, different
:05:56. > :06:04.newspaper, the Times with an unusual headline. Botham swings back for
:06:05. > :06:14.Brexit. Yes, it is Sir Ian Botham, today backing the Brexit. It's a bit
:06:15. > :06:19.of a type onto the Boris Johnson speech. It is more of a headline. As
:06:20. > :06:25.wonderful as he was, we know his great cricketing deeds, but the idea
:06:26. > :06:29.that we should take politics cues from him. It is contradictory
:06:30. > :06:33.because he said he was a cricketer, but cricket is a gain of 11 people
:06:34. > :06:37.who play together. The EU is supposed to be a team, so I don't
:06:38. > :06:41.know what the contradiction is. -- is a game. But it is ridiculous to
:06:42. > :06:45.bring people like this into the argument. Is the basis that if you
:06:46. > :06:49.can hit the ball for six we should take lessons from that and decide
:06:50. > :06:55.what the policy for the next generation should be raced on his
:06:56. > :07:01.opinion? There are many nonsports fans who won't even know who he is.
:07:02. > :07:08.Yes, as a contest earlier I didn't know who he was! I understand why
:07:09. > :07:15.they did it. People are bored of one minister saying, oh, no, he is
:07:16. > :07:21.scaremongering, he is lying. It is a bit of fun. For those who know who
:07:22. > :07:26.he is a fun story, but for my generation I don't think it means
:07:27. > :07:31.that much. They probably thought he was Boris Johnson's brother or
:07:32. > :07:42.something. The Mail. It is really going very big on John -- John
:07:43. > :07:46.Whittingdale. MP's porn star lover showed Cabinet papers. This is of
:07:47. > :07:49.course about the cabinet minister John Whittingdale who had a
:07:50. > :07:53.relationship with a woman and that was when he was head of a very
:07:54. > :08:04.influential group looking at the media. And then discovered through
:08:05. > :08:09.contact with a journalist that she was an escort and then finished the
:08:10. > :08:13.relationship. Here we are going into even more details and The Daily Mail
:08:14. > :08:18.is quite big on that. Yes. What is interesting, this is the Mail on
:08:19. > :08:21.Sunday, use paper of the year, this fascinating is we know how the
:08:22. > :08:30.earlier story about John Whittingdale came out. It is
:08:31. > :08:32.what... If you recall, when the story came out about John
:08:33. > :08:39.Whittingdale having had an affair with a sex worker, Hacked Off said
:08:40. > :08:44.newspapers deliberately didn't print a story because they wanted to
:08:45. > :08:49.influence or hurt a gun to the head of John Whittingdale newspaper
:08:50. > :08:53.regulation. But it seems as a result of that they will actually encourage
:08:54. > :08:57.this sort of story, which is just the sort of story... Intrusion into
:08:58. > :09:03.privity which Hacked Off said newspapers indulge in too much. The
:09:04. > :09:07.fact that the Mail has devoted six pages to it, they must have been
:09:08. > :09:11.working on this story for a long time and waited until the other
:09:12. > :09:16.story came out before printing. And of course we don't know if the
:09:17. > :09:20.allegations are true. And he says as soon as he found out he finished the
:09:21. > :09:23.relationship anyway. There's a huge amount of pressure now on John
:09:24. > :09:29.Whittingdale and all sorts of allegations. But the Mail have been
:09:30. > :09:33.working hard. It does seem strange that they have all this information
:09:34. > :09:42.in the space of a few days. It makes you think that they knew a lot more
:09:43. > :09:45.than what they said. There is pressure on him, but he is entitled
:09:46. > :09:52.to a private life. And he wasn't married. He wasn't. And Hacked Off
:09:53. > :09:57.is the group that Hugh Grant has been involved with and the whole aim
:09:58. > :10:02.is to stop the press unnecessarily intruding into the private lives of
:10:03. > :10:07.celebrities. John Whittingdale is a public figure, but I am not sure
:10:08. > :10:23.what the public interest is in this story. There are pictures of this
:10:24. > :10:27.meeting, but I don't think it is... Let's see where that one goes. Onto
:10:28. > :10:32.the Independent. A story that has come out over the last few days.
:10:33. > :10:41.This is a survey. The majority of people want all tax returns to be
:10:42. > :10:46.published. Everybody? 49% say we should be like the Scandinavian
:10:47. > :10:54.countries. I must say that is a very depressing opinion poll, if it is
:10:55. > :10:58.accurate. I certainly don't want to know what your tax return is and I
:10:59. > :11:08.don't know why you should want to know mine. To have this sort of
:11:09. > :11:12.information, I don't know what people in Sweden and Norway do with
:11:13. > :11:19.this information, but we seem to have made people who pay less tax,
:11:20. > :11:23.using the laws of the land, as somehow moral lepers, as if they
:11:24. > :11:27.have behaved morally badly. The law should be changed if we want people
:11:28. > :11:33.to pay more tax. Not ask people to say, yes, we should stand the moral
:11:34. > :11:37.high ground and pay as much tax as possible. And 13% of people admitted
:11:38. > :11:41.they use the cash to pay a bill or some other transaction to avoid
:11:42. > :11:44.VAT. That's the thing. At a practical level, when you say to
:11:45. > :11:47.people, do you want to give your children as much money as you can
:11:48. > :11:52.when you go? Most people would probably say yes. So if it went to a
:11:53. > :12:04.vote, and it was decided we should have new laws, stricter laws, and
:12:05. > :12:08.we've got a very complicated tax code, I think quite a lot of people
:12:09. > :12:14.don't understand it. This whole thing has got very confused because
:12:15. > :12:19.those papers, some people were doing illegal things, money laundering,
:12:20. > :12:21.that kind of thing, but a lot of this kind of stuff and white
:12:22. > :12:27.politicians in this country have done have not been illegal. It is
:12:28. > :12:32.just ethically wrong. David Cameron wasn't doing anything illegal, but
:12:33. > :12:37.44% of the survey believe his approach to his public finances is
:12:38. > :12:45.morally repugnant. It comes back to this question of moral behaviour. If
:12:46. > :12:50.you behave according to the law, that's what you are required to do.
:12:51. > :12:56.That's the definition of morals and tax. The Sunday express. The
:12:57. > :12:59.full-page photograph of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in front of the
:13:00. > :13:03.Taj Mahal and of course they have put the picture of Diana on what has
:13:04. > :13:09.become Diana's venture. Absolutely. Diana probably to find that it. I am
:13:10. > :13:14.not sure if before Diana sat on the bench more than 20 years ago,
:13:15. > :13:17.basically telling the world that her marriage was coming to an end, I
:13:18. > :13:22.don't think the band was that important. Briefly, did that pass
:13:23. > :13:28.you by? Or do you think it is a good front story? It is a good story. I
:13:29. > :13:32.love the fact that working palace says it has nothing to do with
:13:33. > :13:41.Diana, all tourists do it, of course it does! But they have come out and
:13:42. > :13:46.said" you memories", which was interesting. They due to both of
:13:47. > :13:49.you. Coming up next, The Film Review.
