further than her real time. That's all for now but time for a look at | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
the papers. Hello and welcome to our Sunday | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
morning edition of The Papers. With me are this morning's reviewers | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
are the columnist and broadcaster Yasmin Alibhai Brown and former | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
Foreign Correspondent and author The Observer quotes a former Tory | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
health minister calling for a new tax to fund | :00:25. | :00:32. | |
the NHS and social care. The Sunday Telegraph says | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
Theresa May is asking her ministers for their personal | :00:41. | :00:42. | |

to move back to Somalia. Let's begin, good morning to you | :01:22. | :01:37. | |
both. For restarting? The Telegraph. The Sunday Telegraph has a | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
front-page story entitled me, the Brexit in force. Talking about how | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
the Prime Minister has asked all Cabinet and the stress to come up | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
with blueprints of what breaks it will look like. Dash-macro where are | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
we starting? Pro-EU civil servants, claim, that they will thwart the | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
entire enterprise. The story is a little bit like something you would | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
find in Pravda or a state-sponsored media in the Eastern Bloc, we go | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
after the immigrants, now it's the civil servants who stop us from | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
leaving. Not a shred of evidence to back up that assertion, just an | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
unnamed government sources and a rather hysterical sounding Tory MPs | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
saying we need emergency legislation if anyone does this, so they can be | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
fired. A thin story. This has gone on for a while, always this thing | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
that the Foreign Office is full of lefties. There is this atmosphere | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
why isn't Brexit happening now? It can't happen now. It's the fear in | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
the Cabinet which is... Essentially add each other's throats... Fear is | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
too good a word, it's hysteria. I don't envy misses me at all, she | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
must feel she is ruling over the most dysfunctional family ever in | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
her Cabinet. You say dysfunctional, why do you think she is doing this? | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
Because a lot of her team are probably thinking, no... What is the | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
point of this? Is she trying to unify them all... I don't think, | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
Matthew, what do you think? The right of the Tory party will never | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
be satisfied, they got their vote, their place, they will never be | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
satisfied and I think this is one way that this it destroyed Cameron, | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
Haig, everybody it has ever come... You see the issue in the first | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
paragraph of the story, me ordering every Cabinet minister to, but the | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
personal blueprint for Brexit. Guess what, we don't get to decide the | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
Brexit blueprint, we have to negotiate that with the EU, the idea | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
that a Cabinet minister will chip in and create a dream version of | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
Brexit, we are living in a fantasy land. It's time that the media | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
rather than repeating this nonsense, held politicians to account. | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
Interesting to know if she will read each account! You can imagine the | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
scene, who will come first in this rather awkward, shuffling silence. | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
Hand your homework! Laughter-macro we turn to the Times newspaper... | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
The front page, we are going with Theresa May... What is the theme | :04:25. | :04:34. | |
with this? Like I said, no one can do anything that is enough for the | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
Brexit side of the Tory party and the Cabinet. Here, the story is that | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
Philip Hammond, the Chancellor, is I called, resisting plans for other | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
ministers to pull out of the EU single market. If we pull out of the | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
EU is in gold market, where are we going to trade? Where are we going | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
to go with this thing? It's the problem, we don't know what breaks | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
it actually means, and we can't know what it means until we've had | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
negotiations with the EU and the real headline for this story is | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
actually on the inside page, Angela Merkel and other European leaders | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
have been very clear, either you stay in the single market and allow | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
the free movement of people which is more or less staying in the EU, or | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
you leave the EU and you start to impose controls on immigration, one | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
or the other. We are still reporting the story and talking about it I can | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
we get to choose but guess what? We don't. Again, I'd like to see some | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
of these journalists taking some of the statements with a little bit of | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
a pinch of salt. Don't go for the journalists... I am not going for | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
journalists but as the media I think we need to look at ourselves, we | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
have wandered into Brexit without realising it, how many journalists | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
were surprised about what happened in the referendum result? The reason | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
is we are all focused on the ding-dong in Westminster, we are not | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
getting... What's going on in the regions and beyond the M25, forget | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
that, even outside of Westminster. I think, Yasmin, like you say, this | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
particular article is pointing to the fact it seems to be a turf war | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
at Whitehall. Exactly but also within Cabinet. Somewhere else, it | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
says Boris Johnson and... What's his name... Liam Fox are worried about | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
who is really in charge... What is Labour doing? Never mind the | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
journalists, what is Labour doing here? It is talking about trains. | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
They should be having a field day, really. OK... Let's turn to the Mail | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
on Sunday. We are going to go inside the paper, the Page three, this was | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
an astonishing read, I don't know what you thought of this. Good Queen | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
Tess... Yes, the submarine Prime Minister | :07:06. | :07:18. | |
because unlike David Cameron she hasn't been popping out of number | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
ten every day with a new sound bite and she's given an interview to the | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Windsor Maidenhead and Arscott magazine which the Daily Mail | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
describes as astonishingly candid. Dash-macro the Mail on Sunday. But | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
it's not bad candid, she talks about not liking snakes... And not liking | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
her nose. I don't think we get a really powerful insight into the | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
inner workings of her psyche but the Mail on Sunday gives an excuse to | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
mark up an image of her looking like Elizabeth Everest. Because she's | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
such a private... I once remember cheering her at a meeting on women | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
in politics, honestly, she was terrifyingly right but also, | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
terrifyingly unknowable, you never knew what position she would take. I | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
mean, I can see where her power comes from, it's interesting to see | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
that she lost her husband and to see a softer side to her. Interestingly | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
she says the qualities she likes another's is conceived and any | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
psychologist will tell you the things we don't like another people | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
tend to be the things we don't see in ourselves, that is my | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
psychoanalysis for this morning. I wonder how on earth they got onto | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
the subject of her nose. That is because she is a woman and all | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
women, as we know, judge themselves by how we look. We put it out there, | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
don't we? Would they ask Liam Fox what part of you do you hate most | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
and witty even tell us? No, there would be a withering stare. The | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
Observer newspaper... Perhaps more serious matters, the NHS, maybe a | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
rescue plan? A call for a rescue plan, the former Tory Health | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
Minister Doctor down Poulter, an MP and part-time doctor, saying we need | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
a new tax for the NHS and social care to stop the system collapsing. | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
It's been widely reported that the NHS will face a ?20 billion | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
shortfall by 2020, a huge amount of money, and he is coming forward | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
saying we need to radically rethink the options and Conservative Party | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
doesn't like taxes but maybe we need to think about ringing one in to | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
steer the ship away from the rocks. Yes, absolutely but I think there | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
needs to be blue sky thinking. We have got such a fast growing, ageing | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
population. Often they are stuck in hospital beds because they have | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
nowhere to go. We should spend public money on a halfway house, a | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
really good place for older people in particular with complex problems, | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
can go after hospital. And get social care rather than medical | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
care. We need to do that, to think much more about building a sector, | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
rather than cutting back. That's going to cost though, isn't it? If | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
we don't do it, the National Health Service is going to collapse. Do you | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
think the NHS has a future, Yasmin? It has to have a future, the one | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
thing that binds everyone in this country, whatever their political | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
persuasion, despite the tiny minority that goes to private health | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
care. It means a lot and I think we should do something. Interestingly, | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
only a week or to-macro ago about how the government caved in to | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
pressure from the sugar industry, food industry, about plans to reduce | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
the amount of sugar in food which has shot up over the last few | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
decades. One aspect of the problem the NHS is, we need to become | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
healthier as a country under the government is not willing to take | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
hard line in favour of public health instead of bowing down to corporate | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
interest, we have a problem. The problem with the big programme, | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
everyone eating cake! I am not with you on that, I think we need one | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
show a week... But I love that. We are sticking with the NHS, turning | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
to page two of the Times newspaper. Yasmin, I think you picked up the | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
bed shortage element. This is what the Times is focusing on, on page | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
two, bed shortage of sending NHS back to the dark days of the | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
1980s... I don't know if the viewers can see that, there we go. Yes, it's | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
the same thing, not that there is a bed shortage but patients can't go | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
home, especially those who are on their own, widows, widowers whose | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
families might be far away. There is a terrible situation with people who | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
are physically better but mentally and emotionally in need, who are in | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
our hospitals and they shouldn't be, hospitals are miserable places for | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
most of us. There has got to be a big rethink on this, I think. It | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
seems there is a breakdown in the social care and the hospitals, you | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
would think they would be working a little bit closer together. They | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
keep saying they are going to and the Kings Fund think tank, which has | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
been in existence, a very good, serious think tank, has been talking | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
about having a kind of United service perhaps of Health and Social | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
Care Bill. It just doesn't seem to have happened. I don't know why. | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
Look at the statistics quickly, the Patients' Association revealing the | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
total number of people waiting more than 18 weeks for surgery had risen | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
to just under 90 3000. Almost doubled from what it was in 2015. | :12:51. | :13:00. | |
Sorry, 2014, 51,000, now almost double. OK. Let's turn to the | :13:01. | :13:10. | |
mail... Going back in, page four, this is a story that I think they | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
picked up on the front page... That's right, claiming victory in | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
the campaign to cut back on foreign aid. I mean, actually this is a | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
fascinating story on many levels. The Mail on Sunday running a series | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
of Expose is over the last few months about aid being wasted in | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
many compelling ways, actually, and there is a spread of examples on the | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
inside pages. And the government has essentially said it is going to | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
divert the tens of millions of pounds that was in the aid budget to | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
fund... What the Mail on Sunday calls the war on terror. I have | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
worked abroad for many years, seen how a lot of our aid dollars go to | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
waste and I think there is absolutely a case for reforming the | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
way Britain distributes foreign aid. What have you seen? You go to | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
Afghanistan, I worked there for three years. The British military | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
and an agency were working hand-in-hand creating dash-macro | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
creating projects that were overrun by the Taliban. We have seen what | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
happened in Helmand in the last few weeks, virtually falling to the | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
insurgents. And as examples of money going to waste, not hard to find. | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
But the idea that you can somehow take that money and spend it... Or | :14:35. | :14:45. | |
you can read to aid or submit aid to foreign policy objectives is... It | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
is so wrong and there are bad examples and I know them but also, | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
in many, many areas, the aid is essential and it is, the smaller | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
projects are really good and they work and they send out independent | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
evaluators. This is just crazy, we are going to spend the money on the | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
war on terror, kill using weapons to kill people and creating... It is | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
total nonsense, Priti Patel has been at the forefront of wanting this | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
department closed. Very quickly... We have about 40 seconds on the | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
express... Hanging onto our inheritance, what do you think about | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
this? The Coronet... I really couldn't care less! Since you are | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
asking... I think it is clearly an excuse to print a picture of Aidan | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
Turner doing his surviving which is... Wrong story! Clearly | :15:41. | :15:48. | |
justification for the Sunday express talking about the Coronet which is | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
being blocked for being sold abroad for ?5 million. Our heritage is | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
safe! Yasmin and Matthew thank you very much. That was our look at the | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
papers and of course a reminder that you can take a look at tomorrow's | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
front pages every evening at 10:40pm right here on BBC News. | :16:12. | :16:14. |
