Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
With me are Laura Hughes, Political Correspondent | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
at The Daily Telegraph and Jack Blanchard, Political Editor | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with: | :00:23. | :00:31. | |
The Daily Telegraph says that Labour's immigration policy | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
is in "disarray" after a rapid u-turn on free | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
The i focuses on the Labour leader's comments on capping wages. | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
"Corbyn's fat cat attack" is the headline. | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
Mr Corbyn is pictured on the FT's front page, | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
but the paper leads on a call by City bosses to delay full Brexit | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
so companies can get used to new trading arrangements. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
The guard in pictures Claire Hollingworth, the veterinary war | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
correspondence he broke the news of the Nazi invasion of Poland, who has | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
died at the age of 105. Theresa May's senior aides have privately | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
criticised the senior aides at the NHS. | :01:16. | :01:25. | |
The death of 7-year-old Katie Rough in York is the lead | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
And finally the Mirror has the latest evidence | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
in the trial of Ian Stewart, who's accused of killing his | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
Dominating many of the front pages is Jeremy Corbyn's speech in | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
Peterborough. Both of you had the pleasure of getting on the train to | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
head over there. Jack, as political editor at the Mirror, was it worth | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
it? It always is, how much news he has created over the course of a 15 | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
minute speech. He is on the front page of almost every newspaper. OK, | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
but the front page of the Telegraph, "Corbyn's migration policy in | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
disarray, Labour leader forced into rapid U-turn". Was that what he was | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
seeking? Clearly not. It is fair to say the day hasn't gone quite as | :02:14. | :02:14. | |
they would have hoped. This is perhaps a bit harsh to say | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
it is in disarray but once again, the communication coming out of | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
Jeremy Corbyn's office has not been as good as it should have been. | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
Journalists were briefed one line last night about what he was going | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
to say. When he stood up and said that line he said with these extra | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
caveats, suddenly added on into the speech that nobody had bothered to | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
mention were going to be their last night and it changed the tone of | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
what he was saying and left people confused about his position. Aurora, | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
this is your headline, you read this story. It's a bit out of order | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
according to Jack. -- Laura. There has been some serious confusion | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
today. All journalists thought this morning, Jeremy Corbyn is saying the | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
Labour Party is going to take a tougher stance on uncontrolled | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
migration. They will say they are not wedded to free movement, that is | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
what we were told. But then Jeremy Corbyn went on the airwaves this | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
morning as did a series of interviews where he seemed to | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
distance himself from his own words that had been briefed by his own | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
office. They added... Before, we were told he would say we're not | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
wedded to the policy when we went to Peter Brooke, line added "We are not | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
ruling it out and it might be necessary if we want to have | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
continued to have access to the single market" -- we went to | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
Peterborough. Keir Starmer, the Shadow Brexit secretary was not in | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Peterborough with us, that was quite odd in itself. Over the weekend, Tom | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
Watson, the deputy leader said we did not know the stance for Labour. | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
The whole area seems to be confused. Labour MPs are still unhappy with | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
it. Union leaders who watched Jeremy Corbyn to start speaking to the | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
concerns of a lot of their voters. -- who want Jeremy Corbyn. A little | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
birdie told me that Keir Starmer, who is the Brexit secretary, didn't | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
have wind of this speech on Brexit from Jeremy Corbyn before the speech | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
was made. I mean, those sorts of things do happen. LAUGHTER | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
I don't know whether that is the case but it is possible. OK. The | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
bigger picture is the Jeremy Corbyn has been mooted to make a big speech | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
on Brexit today, to make clear what his position is. And we are coming | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
away from it and people still aren't clear what his position is. That | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
cannot be a good thing. That's not great, is it? The Financial Times. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Another big pillar of his speech wasn't just Brexit but it was wages | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
and the disparity between FTSE 100 CEOs earning megabucks at the top | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
and folk on the shop floor. Corbyn and wage gap, Laura, the word | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
appears again, confusion. Confusion. We all got very excited this | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
morning. Is it just that you guys aren't very bright? LAUGHTER | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
Is that what this is about? You just don't get it? That's very harsh! We | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
all got very excited this morning because he went on the airwaves | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
again and said, quite drastically, although he has said it before when | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
he was a backbench MP, he would like to see a cap for the top earners in | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
this country. Which went down like a... It didn't go down very well. | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
His own advisers said it was a ludicrous idea. It wouldn't work. | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
Could lead to a brain drain because people would leave the country. Lots | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
of MPs said that's not fair. And it might be illegal, by the way! That | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
little matter. I spoke to in MP earlier who made a good point, | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
interesting, why should a working-class kid, who goes on to | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
become a professional footballer, and pays his taxes, doesn't do | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
anything to avoid paying taxes, why should he be penalised when wealthy | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
young people will inherit a land of their wealthy parents who inherited | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
it from their wealthy grandparents? You are not solving the problem. | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
Confused, Jack? It certainly was confused. This was more confused | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
than the immigration one. This is one step up with the confusion. No | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
doubt when Jeremy Corbyn was on BBC radio, he was talking about this | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
idea of having a maximum wage, that is what he was talking about. As | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
Laura says, you floated the idea a few years ago when he wasn't the | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
idea -- leader of the Labour Party. He did several interviews. We went | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
to Peterborough this afternoon and there is no mention of it. He talks | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
about other ways of reducing executive pay, which, by the way, is | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
far too high and does need to come down. Yes. This idea wasn't in | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
there. When he was asked about it afterwards he said, I quite | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
preferred as the way of doing it through pay ratios where bosses | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
can't be paid more than 20 times more than their lowest worker. That | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
is fine but it wasn't what he was talking about this morning. This | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
morning. Labour have to have a clear message because people do not follow | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
these arguments slowly through the day in the way that Laura and I are | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
paid to. Most people will just get a vague idea at the end of the day of | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
what it is and unfortunately the only message coming through from the | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
papers once again tomorrow is that it is confused. Is it? The Guardian, | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
Corbyn steps up assault on fat cat salaries. The takeaway, Laura, | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
there, is as far as the Guardian is concerned, he has put the disparity | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
between the mega rich at the top and working people at the bottom on the | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
agenda. That is the takeaway. All the other stuff, detail, is chaff. | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
He's got that on there. That is basically what the Leave campaign | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
did in Brexit and what Trump did. Does that make sense or was that | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
rubbish? It makes sense. They lead on this, the headline, you are | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
right, he has got the headline he would have wanted but they go on to | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
the detail but today wasn't great. For Jeremy Corbyn. It is interesting | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
because we have had there is a strategy that Corbyn's team have | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
launched, which is to take a Trump style approach and, sort of, come | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
out with these big statements. And even if they are not viable, it will | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
get the attention of the public. And, actually, they might be quite | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
popular because a lot of people will look at that headline and say, yes, | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
they are paid too much. The hardest thing in the opposition is being | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
heard. The worst thing that could happen is you become irrelevant. | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
Jeremy Corbyn has inserted himself into the news today and although it | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
might not have been done perfectly, a lot of people, they would get a | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
vague impression, Jeremy Corbyn is against high pay. That is all they | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
will get at them today and that is not a bad place for them to be in | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
competitive last week when there was no sign of Jeremy Corbyn. -- | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
compared to last week. The times, Corbyn Gath derails bid to relaunch | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
his leadership. -- gaff. As political editor of the Mirror, | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
left-leaning paper, how can it be that the leader of the biggest | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
political party in Europe, 400,000 members, money awash, is irrelevant? | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
How can that be? How did that happen? I don't think it is that | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
he's irrelevant,... You said he was trying to great relevance? Whenever | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
you are the Leader of the Opposition, that is the challenge | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
you face. Especially when we are Quadra years away from a general | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
election. You are a long way from power -- you are four years. And he | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
is not doing well in the polls. It is a long time before it is even | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
possible Jeremy Corbyn could be Prime Minister. It is difficult to | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
make yourself part of the news. To make yourself heard. You don't want | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
headlines like Corbyn gaff derails anything, but it's better than not | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
being talked about. Maybe. Laura, writing for the Daily Telegraph on | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
the other side of the political spectrum, are you guys just sitting | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
in the newsroom, thinking, "Yes, another Corbyn speech, we can have a | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
go, we can have a laugh". Never! They totally are! No! You are, | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
aren't you? Is you love that won't give him a chance. No, we do. A lot | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
of our readers will look at this, and they will be... | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
A lot of other people will vaguely hear it and think they are paid too | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
much. There you go. Yes, these bosses earn too much. That is what | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
they wanted but he should have been talking a bit more about the NHS | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
today. Well, here we go. That's a nice segue, Laura, into the times. | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
Number ten planes NHS chief hospital chaos. Find a scapegoat, | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
potentially. -- blames the NHS chief for hospital chaos. There seems to | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
be a row over money, as always. The head of the NHS apparently is | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
unhappy that Theresa May in public has said you have had this money in | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
2015 and we had an agreement and you had this but other departments are | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
not getting the cash injections at this stage. It's winter, is normal | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
for the NHS to be struggling at this time. They are not moving. Simon | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
Stephens is coming out and making some quite strong statements before | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
MPs. He is in front of a select committee tomorrow where he has | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
criticised the government for things like this, bus passes. He says we | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
need more money at number ten says he's not getting it. He is defending | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
the workers he represents in the NHS. He is a civil servant, not a | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
political figure and he is a very experienced manager and very | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
respected. This appears to be an attempt by certain people at number | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
ten to undermine him. Perhaps because they are worried about what | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
he will say before MPs tomorrow afternoon when he appears before the | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
select committee. The NHS winter crisis will be front and centre of | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
that hearing and people will be watching him very closely for any | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
sign that this is as bad as some people think it is. Senior people at | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
number ten briefing against this guy, trying to undermine him and | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
this is something of a pattern for Downing Street. Since this new team | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
has come in with Theresa May, we have seen a succession of senior | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
people walk out of their jobs from Ivan Rogers, the ambassador to the | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
EU, are there were things against him, Mark Carney, the governor of | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
the Bank of England will be stepping down sooner than we had thought. Jim | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
O'Neill, a Treasury minister advising them on the northern | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
powerhouse, walked out within days. There seems to be a clash between | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
these senior figures, who have been often quite good at their jobs. | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
Finally, the Daily Telegraph. A hero of mine. Claire Hollingworth. She | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
happened to have the scoop of, I don't know, the last 300 years. The | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
beginning of World War II. She was in the job for about three weeks, I | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
think? Something like three days. She said, I'm going to do this, she | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
got the scoop that all of us would only ever dream of within three | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
days. What is remarkable about her, when she was doing this job at the | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
Telegraph sent her to Poland, at that time, women were still, it was | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
difficult with... To have these big careers. They were told, get | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
married, go home and have children. Even more impressive she managed to | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
do all of this at a time not like now, when women weren't brave | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
enough, and she put to bed that I did that women couldn't be foreign | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
correspondence. Inspirational. She was 27 years old at the time and | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
went driving about the front line in a British embassy car. She found | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
these German tanks, ready to invade, and came back, got the scoop, front | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
page of the Telegraph, first big story, three days later the tanks | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
came rolling in and she was the one that the British Embassy the | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
invasion had happened. They didn't believe her. She had to put the | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
phone out, so they could hear the tanks going past and the war had | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
started. Proper journalism. It beats standing in a field listening to | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
Jeremy Corbyn. LAUGHTER Rest in peace, and Laura, Jack, it's | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
been good having you in the night. Don't forget all the front pages | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
are online on the BBC News website where you can read a detailed review | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
of the papers. It's all there for you, | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
seven days a week. And you can see us there too, | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
with each night's edition of the papers being posted | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
on the page shortly | :14:24. | :14:27. |
