The regulator Ofgem says it will step in to find a new supplier | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
With me are the Political Commentator, James Millar | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
and Dawn-Maria France, who's Editor-in-Chief of | :00:21. | :00:21. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with: | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
The Telegraph says Theresa May will announce a crackdown | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
on executive pay this week - an approach previously advocated | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
The Sunday Times leads with the death of Fidel Castro - | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
describing him as scourge of the West. | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
The Observer also puts Fidel Castro on the front page - | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
and also claims elderly care is close to collapsing as council | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
The Mail claims police were warned by their own expert that allegations | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
of child abuse against the former Prime Minister Ted Heath | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
with another alleged abuse victim of the convicted paedophile Barry | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
We start with Fidel Castro. The day began with a lot of news bulletins. | :01:01. | :01:16. | |
Sunday Times call him scourge of the West and says he died at 90. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Difficult for some people to know how to pay tribute to him. On the | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
face of this this is great because he was a complicated character, a | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
divisive character. This story on the Sunday Times they have Jeremy | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Corbyn hailing him as a hit massive figure in the history of the planet, | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
perhaps overplaying it, and Donald Trump calling him a brutal dictator. | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
Both of which are true. It was a massive figure and a brutal | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
dictator. There are many quotes and they are all true but they do not | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
agree with each other because he was, you know, a revolutionary and a | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
hero to many and a monster to others. You think it would be easy | :02:01. | :02:12. | |
but disappointingly Sunday Times has turned to Twitter to find out the | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
reaction. Let's look at the Sunday Telegraph. They look at the other | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
side of it. David Joyce says for the excise that fled Fidel Castro, this | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
photo taken in Love and in Miami who is home to many people who fled the | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
regime. There is no grief being expressed there. As you say, | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
rightly, there were many Cuban exile to Miami. They are reported to have | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
chanted Cuba is free and being quite jubilant at the death of Fidel | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
Castro. And his brother who has been in charge since 2008, he has | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
restored diplomatic ties but whether that will continue under Donald | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
Trump not sure. We do need to watch this space. That's the other line | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
that the Telegraph also picks up. Who will go to the funeral? Will | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
Barack Obama go as America's representative. He has normalised | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
relations to some extent but clearly there is a lot of history so he may | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
not be all that popular as it goes. It would make sense if he did | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
because he started to build a narrative with Cuba and this would | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
cement that narrative. Yet, looking to the future. Go to the Telegraph. | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
The other headline is that Mae carries on labour's business paid | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
crackdown, getting tough on corporate greed. Soon after she | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
became Prime Minister she began talking about the idea of giving | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
workers more of a say in how companies are run, putting them on | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
boards and that kind of thing. There was no appetite after the Philip | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
Green and the collapse of his company, people were outraged with | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
that. It looks as if she is using a labour platform. I'm intrigued by | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
the fact that she is looking at giving shareholders the power to | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
veto pay packages of business leaders in their annual meetings. | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
And also making companies put staff representatives on pay scrutiny | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
committees. That will play to the centre ground and that is what | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
workers want to see. But whether it looks like that will be good for | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
business is another matter. Business may not agree that at Miliband has | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
been tweeting about these stop it is bizarre. As a story there is not | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
much to it because it is just the green paper, she is not doing | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
anything, certainly not carrying on the business of labour and a great | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
bounds because they could not do it, they lost the election. But at | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
Miliband could not get elected on this programme so, you know, was | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
personality that was the problem rather than his policies? And now we | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
have a Prime Minister who has not been elected as Prime Minister, she | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
has not ever faced a general election as Prime Minister, bringing | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
in policies that were rejected by electorate in 2015. It raises all | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
sorts of interesting questions about the state of our democracy, really. | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
It is not your average year. From another point of view, in the centre | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
ground you need to win the voters who do not normally vote for you and | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
this looks at the kind of policy that will do that because it seems | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
like it is supporting worker. Another story about the Prime | :05:48. | :05:56. | |
Minister in the Times saying that the Prime Minister says that | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
thinking about Brexit keeps her awake at night. The call for | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
business to return access to the single market for two years after | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
Brexit, with the public voting to actually leave the EU and then that | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
kind of thing staying with the single market, that is at odds with | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
what the British people are saying because that will encourage freedom | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
of movement and many people have come out against that because it | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
affects, they feel it affects the community and if you look at what is | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
happening in parts of Yorkshire, we have seen that in a lot of factories | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
where there have been many EU workers and people have felt | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
aggrieved because they feel it pushes down their wages. It is a | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
difficult balancing act 's option is to appease those voted out and make | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
sure they get a good deal. So it is still the question of whether it | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
will be soft or hard. Yes, the referendum did not ask is if we | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
wanted soft or hard. There is a sense that in Yorkshire, maybe, | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
there are many mills there that relied on immigrant labour is back | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
in the 50s and 60s. But when austerity, as we have seen over the | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
years, and people hoping to apportion blame and scapegoat | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
immigrants have been generations always been the target of that kind | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
of narrative, really. A look at the mirror. The football abuse story | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
which is widening. Here on the Sunday Mirror a new name this is | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
Anthony Hughes who says that he also was a victim of the convicted | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
paedophile coach Barry Bilal. He has waived his right to anonymity in | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
this case as we have seen, been emboldened to come out and speak | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
out. It is having an effect. It cannot be easy, inevitably, to come | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
out and speak and the stories you are hearing are fairly unpleasant to | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
say the least. But it is having an effect. More people are coming | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
forward, this has now been opened up and hopefully more of the people who | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
are to blame, not just those doing the abuse but those who could have | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
stopped it will now be put in the spotlight. The Mail on Sunday is | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
also saying that it was not just football but other sports where this | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
was carrying on. The police operation is taking that into | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
account. And also other football clubs beside Crewe Alexandra. The | :08:35. | :08:45. | |
investigation broadens. I was intrigued because the accusations do | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
not involve any current coaches. It has opened a narrative for people | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
who have been abused to come forward. From that standpoint at | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
least that is happening. Yes and that points to the fact that there | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
are many more checks and balances in place these days. But it will also | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
hopefully lead people to look at the checks and balances and make sure | :09:12. | :09:20. | |
they are should be. To not be complacent and think certainly are | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
better than they were back in the day. Let's return to the Telegraph. | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
Make Farah should appear. -- make Nigel Farage Apia. --A peer. The | :09:30. | :09:50. | |
Prime Minister failed to deny that things have been discussed. Nigel | :09:51. | :09:59. | |
Farage has had a big impact on the country and on politics. If that is | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
the vilifying standard then he deserves one if that is the | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
standard. It would also be a reflection of the number of votes | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
that Ukip got in the election last year. Across the country they did | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
collect a lot of votes. What Paul Nottle is saying is that he says it | :10:18. | :10:26. | |
is unfair and obscene to nominate a single Ukip politician to the House | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
of Lords and he has promised to hold talks and write to trees may herself | :10:32. | :10:42. | |
to demand a change. -- Theresa May. There appears -- are peers allowed | :10:43. | :11:02. | |
defected in acid is Ukip. The Prime Minister has failed to deny that he | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
is in the frame for it so I strongly suspect this will happen. That will | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
be another divisive measure in what has been a divisive year because he | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
is, well, here's a man having... Here's the thing. Paul is a nicer | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
man than a Nigel Farage. The Sunday Times. Boss was told to | :11:25. | :11:40. | |
bring back Christmas. This is the relatively new chairman of the | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
Equality and Human Rights Commission. He thinks people have | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
become a bit too overly sensitive about celebrating Christmas and | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
mentioning religion at that time of year. To be honest, because he is in | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
the new post I think it is about him creating headlines. I've never come | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
across anybody having any issue. I think he is bowing out of proportion | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
and maybe taking it too far. In the United States they do call it the | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
holidays more than we do. But isn't that because they have Thanksgiving | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
and it goes right through? There's a question about how much Christmas is | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
about religion to a lot of people these days. And there's also an | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
issue about talking about in November. Maybe that's what he's | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
talking about, that we shouldn't talk about it in November. Then we | :12:31. | :12:41. | |
are guilty as well. That's true. I take a while to get started, | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
especially this year because I am behind. Thank you very much, both of | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
you. Don't forget, all of the papers are online and you can watch a | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
recording of this on iPlayer if you would like to see it again. Thank | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
you very much for coming in and joining us tonight. | :13:03. | :13:17. |
