:00:15. > :00:18.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:19. > :00:29.You both sat upright then... LAUGHTER.

:00:30. > :00:34.We knew that we were on telly and thought we had better look our best.

:00:35. > :00:36.With me are the broadcaster, John Stapleton, and the former

:00:37. > :00:40.It is nice to have you both here. Thank you.

:00:41. > :00:48.But first let's have a quick look at some of the front pages,

:00:49. > :00:50.which are almost all focus on the EU Referendum.

:00:51. > :00:53.The Telegraph reports that Boris Johnson has used a letter

:00:54. > :00:56.in the paper to call on voters to seize a once-in-a-lifetime

:00:57. > :01:05.The Times reveals that Baroness Warsi, a former co-chair

:01:06. > :01:08.of the Conservative Party, will announce that she is abandoning

:01:09. > :01:11.Brexit and defecting to the Remain campaign in protest at what she has

:01:12. > :01:12.described as its "hate and xenophobia."

:01:13. > :01:15.The Guardian leads with the news we have been covering tonight.

:01:16. > :01:18.The Prime Minister using an appearance on Question Time

:01:19. > :01:20.to invoked the memory of Winston Churchill as he delivered

:01:21. > :01:23.an impassioned plea for EU membership.

:01:24. > :01:31.The Financial Times says that David Cameron invoked the memory

:01:32. > :01:34.of the murdered Labour MP, Jo Cox, to press the case for Britain

:01:35. > :01:39.staying in the EU during that Question Time appearance.

:01:40. > :01:42.The Daily Mail sees it differently, saying the David Cameron

:01:43. > :01:46.was subjected to a live TV mauling over his failure to curb EU

:01:47. > :01:51.The Express claims that every family could be hit with a ?2,600 tax bill

:01:52. > :01:56.The paper says that European Union is opposed to the UK charging zero

:01:57. > :02:03.The Sun goes with Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn's comments this

:02:04. > :02:06.morning that there can be no upper limit on the number of people coming

:02:07. > :02:10.into the UK while there is free movement of labour in the EU.

:02:11. > :02:13.And the Mirror meanwhile splashes on what it says is the first picture

:02:14. > :02:24.of a pensioner who tried to save MP Jo Cox before her death.

:02:25. > :02:33.So, we will begin this time with the Times, and since we were last on a

:02:34. > :02:39.it has changed its headline. Exit camp divided as senior Tory walks

:02:40. > :02:50.out. Gove and Farage accused of spreading hatred. And Baroness

:02:51. > :02:59.Warsi, communities minister, now a peer in the House of Lords. She had

:03:00. > :03:00.started off as a Leaver and with what happened in the last couple of

:03:01. > :03:05.days and weeks it appears that she days and weeks it appears that she

:03:06. > :03:08.has had a change of heart. To be fair I would call it a non-

:03:09. > :03:15.defection- defection because we would have thought she was always a

:03:16. > :03:20.Remainer, so it is desperate stuff, trying to invent a defector. What we

:03:21. > :03:29.know for sure is Lord Guthrie, former head of the armed forces, he

:03:30. > :03:34.has defected to leave and he is now an Brexiter. I don't think this

:03:35. > :03:38.rings true. She left in 2014 saying she couldn't support the decision on

:03:39. > :03:45.the conflict. It is powerful. She is accusing Michael Gove in her words

:03:46. > :03:52.of peddling lies and xenophobia and I think she has in mind... There are

:03:53. > :03:56.three that David Cameron has identified. The EU cost ?300

:03:57. > :04:02.million. It doesn't. We get half of it back. There will be an EU army,

:04:03. > :04:07.well it won't be happening. And Turkey will join the EU. Well, maybe

:04:08. > :04:13.one day but not within my lifetime. I think that is what she is talking

:04:14. > :04:16.about. Whatever she is talking about, it is a non- defection

:04:17. > :04:21.defection because most people would have always thought she was a

:04:22. > :04:29.Remainer. What people were saying is, why are we paying ?10 billion to

:04:30. > :04:33.an organisation? We are actually paying 62 billion in trade deficits.

:04:34. > :04:37.People would say we are not having our sovereignty and we need to keep

:04:38. > :04:46.control of Allah borders. We are talking stories either way -- our

:04:47. > :04:50.borders. Why would she say she was the final straw and can't support it

:04:51. > :04:55.if it's not a defection? Because most of us would have had her down

:04:56. > :05:00.as a Remainer. But what she thinks she is and says she is... We have

:05:01. > :05:05.quotes of her as a Remainer. Maybe she has changed. We are not sure

:05:06. > :05:09.about her. Boris said he wanted to stay in. He would decide to leave if

:05:10. > :05:14.Cameron didn't get the right reforms. To be fair, people would

:05:15. > :05:17.have said they don't know which side of the argument to be on and they

:05:18. > :05:22.will look at what he brings back as a deal and then people have said,

:05:23. > :05:25.actually, there is no deal. We still have freedom of movement. We still

:05:26. > :05:29.want. We haven't got sovereignty. want. We haven't got sovereignty.

:05:30. > :05:34.People said he didn't bring anything back. The sovereignty argument is

:05:35. > :05:45.interesting. We choose to belong to Nato and the UN. We choose to belong

:05:46. > :05:48.up until now to the EU. So all of our sovereignty has gone but we

:05:49. > :05:53.decide to belong to bigger organisations because we think that

:05:54. > :05:58.on balance it is worth doing. We are saying, who makes the laws? You have

:05:59. > :06:04.unelected commissioners making the laws. They are commissioners we

:06:05. > :06:08.send, just as all the others. They have to be approved. They are not

:06:09. > :06:14.elected and we cannot get rid of them as we do in this country. 50%

:06:15. > :06:22.of the laws are coming from Europe. That is not true. Something like 2%

:06:23. > :06:30.of our laws in this country are from the EU. We send MEPs who vote on

:06:31. > :06:33.policies brought down from the commission. Laws are introduced by

:06:34. > :06:43.people who are not elected by us and we cannot get... We agree on that.

:06:44. > :06:47.The point is MEPs vote on it. They can have a vote on it to tinker them

:06:48. > :06:52.but they are not introducing them. The commission introduces laws at

:06:53. > :06:55.the request of the member states. Having been there for several years

:06:56. > :07:05.and watching the process that goes through, I would say it is bordering

:07:06. > :07:09.on to the least worst option as 28 countries cobbled together laws. We

:07:10. > :07:16.think it is right in saying that it is diminishing our democratic

:07:17. > :07:25.process here and that is a huge part of the issue. Get a word in, John.

:07:26. > :07:30.It does claim to be a Brexit, it was a Brexit, and she was in the

:07:31. > :07:37.remaining camp, and she says she has left because of the UKIP poster

:07:38. > :07:40.issued on Friday showing a stream of people coming with the headline,

:07:41. > :07:46.breaking point. Most people didn't agree with that. It is on the Metro.

:07:47. > :07:50.The implication that they were coming into Britain. They were

:07:51. > :07:54.Syrians going to Slovenia. George Osborne said today it was vile and

:07:55. > :08:00.disgusting and Nigel Farage is battling to defend it. Everyone else

:08:01. > :08:04.has said it was wrong and misguided. They said they shuddered. We must be

:08:05. > :08:09.able to talk about immigration. That was misguided without doubt. It was

:08:10. > :08:14.only a one-day poster. He will have another one tomorrow. Well, he has

:08:15. > :08:19.to say that. In the Metro he says he is a victim of political hatred. I

:08:20. > :08:22.don't follow that. I heard him say it earlier, we have to be careful

:08:23. > :08:28.about this, I think he was saying that had it not been for the

:08:29. > :08:31.unfortunate murder of Jo Cox he would have been put through the

:08:32. > :08:35.ringer over that poster. People can understand what I mean over that.

:08:36. > :08:39.That was one of his lines of defence and whether you agree is another

:08:40. > :08:45.thing. I thought it was a vile thing to do. They are not EU migrants.

:08:46. > :08:51.They asked Syrians. They have no idea of Britain. He came out and

:08:52. > :08:57.said it was wrong, the tone was wrong - mistake. Michael Gove

:08:58. > :09:01.distance himself too. The Daily Mail, PM's TV mauling over

:09:02. > :09:05.migration. A mixed reaction to his performance. Some thought he did

:09:06. > :09:11.well and was impassioned, others thought he began to rant. I missed

:09:12. > :09:16.the first few minutes. Esther said it was a game of two halves. I saw

:09:17. > :09:19.35 minutes and I thought the audience was really good and feisty

:09:20. > :09:24.with intelligent questions and they were not letting him off the hook. I

:09:25. > :09:28.thought he coped quite well. What got him going was a reference to

:09:29. > :09:31.someone saying he was a modern day Neville Chamberlain with

:09:32. > :09:36.paper that he waves in front of us. We all know that it is a European

:09:37. > :09:42.dictatorship that can put the paper in the bin. That got him going,

:09:43. > :09:47.talking about Churchill. He said he didn't give in and we shouldn't get

:09:48. > :09:50.in. This is what we were talking about before, the democracy having

:09:51. > :09:56.what you thought you have got, he came back and said... Neville

:09:57. > :09:59.Chamberlain, waving this piece of paper with what you have thought you

:10:00. > :10:03.had got and it actually isn't, you think you have got it but those 27

:10:04. > :10:08.other countries can turn against you. You have brought back nothing.

:10:09. > :10:13.Marks out of ten, what would you give him for that performance? You

:10:14. > :10:21.saw it all. I thought the second half was much better. He was much

:10:22. > :10:26.stronger on that answer. But I think... He looked anxious in the

:10:27. > :10:31.first half. Oh, really? I don't think there was anything new. He

:10:32. > :10:36.would be anxious. I have to say, when you are doing those debates,

:10:37. > :10:38.they are nerve-racking. Obviously he has placed his credibility and

:10:39. > :10:46.belief on the line. He didn't sparkle. And the polls are neck and

:10:47. > :10:55.neck with a search, if you believe them, towards the Remain camp. The

:10:56. > :11:00.Sun - we just can't keep them out. Oh, dear. Jeremy Corbyn admitting it

:11:01. > :11:06.would be impossible to put any limit on EU migrants if the country votes

:11:07. > :11:12.remain. Well, he has it right. There is no argument. If the country votes

:11:13. > :11:20.to leave, but the negotiations take place for us to remain as trading

:11:21. > :11:24.partners, a bit like Norway or Switzerland, they would still be the

:11:25. > :11:31.same freedom of movement issues. That is untrue. Like they have their

:11:32. > :11:33.own agreement, we would then have our agreement. Some of those

:11:34. > :11:38.countries asked for more immigration to go to them because that was part

:11:39. > :11:44.of it, they wanted that. We would look at it and said, what do we want

:11:45. > :11:48.and not want? You can't compare the UK agreement with someone else's

:11:49. > :11:52.agreement -- say. For the first two years, not too much would be

:11:53. > :11:58.happening. And because we've got most things in place it would be a

:11:59. > :12:02.pretty quick deal. And it would be because most exports are coming to

:12:03. > :12:09.the UK. If we leave the EU, the UK is Europe's biggest single export

:12:10. > :12:13.market. Of course we can negotiate. Why would the 27 members make it

:12:14. > :12:18.easy for Britain to leave and strike a deal easily when they would tell

:12:19. > :12:23.us that we are at the back of the queue? They are selling more to us.

:12:24. > :12:26.We are on a 62 billion deficit each year with them. That's why they

:12:27. > :12:32.would make it easier. They argue in more from us. Back to the story from

:12:33. > :12:37.the Sun, briefly, it is interesting because of the impact it will have

:12:38. > :12:40.on Labour Party support and support for members because don't forget

:12:41. > :12:44.John McDonald has said we should be campaigning for reform of movement

:12:45. > :12:50.of labour and so on. It never happened. Arguably, these remarks

:12:51. > :12:55.from Jeremy Corbyn, they are damaging to Labour and the Remain

:12:56. > :13:02.cause because it highlights what is a fact. We are trying to hide behind

:13:03. > :13:08.this and he has told the truth. There is nothing we can do if we

:13:09. > :13:13.remain. What the others say is we have tried to negotiate but we

:13:14. > :13:17.can't. It never happened. The Daily Express, EU tax rate on Britain. The

:13:18. > :13:24.soaring cost of staying in is revealed as PM is heckled on TV. By

:13:25. > :13:33.some. I mean, they did laugh, I mean, at the Prime Minister. This is

:13:34. > :13:39.because Brussels stone like Britain charging zero cut rate VAT on some

:13:40. > :13:43.items -- Brussels don't like. All the papers have their position on

:13:44. > :13:47.Remain or Leave and quite rightly they have a story that suit their

:13:48. > :13:55.cause. The Daily Mail is very much to Leave. The Express is to leave.

:13:56. > :14:02.This is a story which is quite true, it is quite possible that the EU

:14:03. > :14:07.would scrap... We currently have a zero rate of VAT on certain items.

:14:08. > :14:12.They could change it. No one is saying it. No one is saying we would

:14:13. > :14:16.do this. It is theoretically possible. No one is quoted as saying

:14:17. > :14:21.it would happen. They are saying the VAT is an EU tax and it is what they

:14:22. > :14:24.control, so whereas George Osborne and David Cameron said we have

:14:25. > :14:29.negotiated so sanitary towels for women can be zero rate of tax rather

:14:30. > :14:33.than 5%, they haven't got it, but if they should in future want more

:14:34. > :14:36.money from the UK, the way they would go about it is no doubt

:14:37. > :14:43.through VAT. Just like last year... (CROSSTALK). Last year it was

:14:44. > :14:48.November, 2014, they decided the UK had too much of a black economy, so

:14:49. > :14:52.they took ?1 billion from us. This is how to do it. They could do it

:14:53. > :14:56.but there is no plan to do it currently. They took 1 billion from

:14:57. > :15:02.us the other year like that. We will see. That is all I can say. We could

:15:03. > :15:08.carry on but I think we've got to go. The taxi is here. Thank you very

:15:09. > :15:10.much, Esther and John. Lovely to see you both.

:15:11. > :15:13.Coming up next, it's The Film Review.
