:00:20. > :00:27.Hello and welcome to our to what The Papers will be bringing us tomorrow.
:00:28. > :00:30.With me and the London Evening Standard's Political Correspondent
:00:31. > :00:34.and Nigel Lanson -- Nelson, Political Editor at the Sunday
:00:35. > :00:38.people. Let's look at the front pages. It is all about Brexit. Metro
:00:39. > :00:42.has more on the Supreme Court ruling in article 50. They 50. They see a
:00:43. > :00:46.bill could come before MPs as early as Thursday. The Daily Express
:00:47. > :00:51.claimed any plans to prevent Brexit from happening will be thwarted by
:00:52. > :01:01.new legislation at Westminster. The Telegraph says Jeremy Corbyn and
:01:02. > :01:03.Nicola Sturgeon are planning to undermine the Prime Minister's plan
:01:04. > :01:06.for a clean Brexit, but it is not just the opposition parties that
:01:07. > :01:08.could be a thorn in her side. The Times says Tory rebels demanding a
:01:09. > :01:13.full debate over the departure from the EU. The Guardian says MPs want
:01:14. > :01:18.more of a plan that more of a say in plans to leave the single market. An
:01:19. > :01:25.investigation into drivers using mobile phones behind the wheel in
:01:26. > :01:33.the daily Mirror. It is a hoary old phrase, but what a great way to
:01:34. > :01:41.start. Theresa May she lost the battle, but she the war. The Metro,
:01:42. > :01:46.how many times will we say that. This is the story about the Supreme
:01:47. > :01:48.Court decision, the Brexit bill will have to go before MPs and the
:01:49. > :01:52.response from the government that it will happen as fast as possible. The
:01:53. > :01:58.Metro is one of the few papers that covers the story in a straightaway.
:01:59. > :02:02.They tell us what happened, but where's the other papers concentrate
:02:03. > :02:08.more on what happens next and the ensuing battles and rebellions
:02:09. > :02:13.within her own party, and within the opposition parties as well. The
:02:14. > :02:17.Metro plays it straight. Number ten will be relieved in two areas. One
:02:18. > :02:24.is the devolved governments, especially Scotland, didn't get the
:02:25. > :02:28.right to have a say on Brexit. Secondly, the court didn't
:02:29. > :02:33.explicitly state what happens next. That would be left up to the
:02:34. > :02:39.government. It wasn't all bad news. We knew this would be the result,
:02:40. > :02:44.didn't we? From the High Court, it was highly unlikely it wouldn't go
:02:45. > :02:48.this way. The whole point about the devolved government is not being
:02:49. > :02:52.able to influence all this, we probably knew that was going to
:02:53. > :02:58.happen as well. It is a bit of a win- win for Theresa May. She didn't
:02:59. > :03:02.want to have the vote in the first bus. She would have liked none of
:03:03. > :03:05.the court cases to have happened and carried on doing it on the royal
:03:06. > :03:09.prerogative and not been involved. What she has two now get three is
:03:10. > :03:14.that it is not nearly as straightforward as the Metro likes
:03:15. > :03:19.to present the story. There will be an awful lot now going on. The
:03:20. > :03:25.problem they have got is that article 50 may or may not be
:03:26. > :03:30.reversible. We don't know. After all, Brexit means Brexit, so does
:03:31. > :03:35.that actually matter? It matters to MPs, because what it will mean is
:03:36. > :03:39.they have got one important for where they can influence events. The
:03:40. > :03:44.moment we trigger Brexit, then we are moving out of the EU, there is
:03:45. > :03:48.no going back. When you think about it, all the other votes that come
:03:49. > :03:53.up, not really of any importance whatsoever. They get a final vote on
:03:54. > :03:57.whether to accept the deal that will either be hard Brexit or hard as
:03:58. > :04:03.nails Brexit, it will be up them. The little devils are in the
:04:04. > :04:09.details. Judges make history in Brexit blow to ministers. This is
:04:10. > :04:13.their take on it, because now, MPs, including some conservatives, could
:04:14. > :04:19.decide that we don't want to leave the customs union, we should be in
:04:20. > :04:22.the single market. We have agreed to split up with Europe but the divorce
:04:23. > :04:29.details have yet to be fleshed out. What the Times was in on is the
:04:30. > :04:33.Conservative MPs causing trouble for the Prime Minister as we go forward.
:04:34. > :04:38.During the debate in the Commons today, David Davis, there were seven
:04:39. > :04:43.Conservative MPs who suggested they had concerns about the single market
:04:44. > :04:47.aspect of Brexit in particular. They called for there to be a white
:04:48. > :04:51.paper. The government would have a set out a paper with more detail as
:04:52. > :04:56.to the way forward before MPs had a vote. This has been something that
:04:57. > :05:02.number ten said would not happen, but David Davis today has been
:05:03. > :05:06.distinctly cool about. There is some suggestion that they could be
:05:07. > :05:09.holding that back in reserve if they need to appease their own
:05:10. > :05:14.backbenchers and the opposition parties who want a White Paper. They
:05:15. > :05:20.wanted to help smooth the passage of the article 50 foot. Give me a
:05:21. > :05:24.couple of potential amendments. The other amendment will be from Labour
:05:25. > :05:28.and that would be the negotiating position, which will be to keep
:05:29. > :05:34.Britain in the single market. Theresa May has said no way. I think
:05:35. > :05:38.quite rightly so. If she does that, there is no way of not accepting
:05:39. > :05:42.free movement, therefore the key point of immigration which a lot of
:05:43. > :05:48.people were voting for Brexit on those out the window. She makes the
:05:49. > :05:52.point it is more or less staying in the EU and UN if we stay in the
:05:53. > :05:56.single market. Within come to the next bit, the customs union. Surely
:05:57. > :06:02.a matter of the movement of goods. Maybe there is a deal there. I would
:06:03. > :06:06.have thought not. Again you have the rules, you have the common tariff
:06:07. > :06:09.for outside goods. You also have the situation where we cannot do trade
:06:10. > :06:19.deals elsewhere and by Friday they should be a nice one with Donald
:06:20. > :06:22.Trump, Bob. To the Daily Telegraph. Talking about the amendments and the
:06:23. > :06:25.obstruction is the opposition parties and some Tory backbenchers
:06:26. > :06:30.could put in the way of all this. Nicola Sturgeon, Mr Farren and
:06:31. > :06:40.Jeremy Corbyn, the suggestion from the paper is Nicola Sturgeon and Mr
:06:41. > :06:46.Corbyn are somehow striking a pact. It suggests they are plotting to
:06:47. > :06:50.undermine Theresa May's plans. I would be very surprised if they were
:06:51. > :06:57.actually on the phone to each other trying to work on the way forward.
:06:58. > :07:01.Some Scottish MPs have said they will table 50 amendments, which
:07:02. > :07:06.means they might not just delay the process, but also shifted
:07:07. > :07:12.considerably into their sort of Brexit, which as we know they didn't
:07:13. > :07:16.want at all. So, one of these amendments is a proposal to block
:07:17. > :07:21.Brexit entirely. The Liberal Democrats, for their part, are keen
:07:22. > :07:25.to seek a second referendum and oppose triggering Article 50. There
:07:26. > :07:31.MPs will vote against that. Labour, the big problem for them is how
:07:32. > :07:36.individual MPs will vote because the party, Jeremy Corbyn said the party
:07:37. > :07:43.will support continuing with the article 50 vote, but many individual
:07:44. > :07:52.Labour MPs would be hard pushed who are in favour of that. Two thirds of
:07:53. > :07:56.Labour voting constituencies voted in favour of Brexit. Judy Foote with
:07:57. > :08:04.their conscience, their constituents or the national result? -- do they
:08:05. > :08:07.vote? At the moment it would appear that are not enough MPs to stop
:08:08. > :08:14.Brexit. There will be enough Tory MPs. The only one who seems to be
:08:15. > :08:20.going to vote against it is Ken Clarke. The chances are that it will
:08:21. > :08:26.go through, but there are a lot of fun and games on the way. The key
:08:27. > :08:29.thing is we will be learning about Parliamentary procedure is that we
:08:30. > :08:35.have never heard of in the next few weeks. What they are trying to find
:08:36. > :08:38.is how do you" will probably be a one or two Kleinveldt? There isn't
:08:39. > :08:41.much room to amend anything. What they will try to do is find a
:08:42. > :08:46.Parliamentary procedure which means they can get something in there.
:08:47. > :08:50.That is what they will be working on over the next few days. If they do,
:08:51. > :08:58.if they find something that is in order, that will become part of the
:08:59. > :09:03.vote. So, it might be, with Tory rebels, with Labour, with the SNP,
:09:04. > :09:08.if they line, it is possible you could delay the process simply by
:09:09. > :09:14.demanding the single market access. We are going to go on to the times
:09:15. > :09:20.then. It is GPs draw up plans for patient charging. That sounds
:09:21. > :09:29.alarming. It should be said that this is not one of the official
:09:30. > :09:32.College of GPs or a proposal by a large group of them. This is a
:09:33. > :09:38.senior GB in Oxford who is working with colleagues to develop this
:09:39. > :09:41.proposal to charge patients for weekend or even appointments. There
:09:42. > :09:47.has been a long-running dispute between doctors, between GPs and the
:09:48. > :09:50.government. Theresa May once a seven day with access for all of us who
:09:51. > :09:53.are hard at work during the day to be able to go to our GP in the
:09:54. > :09:57.evening or at weekends and GPs are saying is not possible with the
:09:58. > :10:07.money they have got. What they are suggesting is for particular types
:10:08. > :10:12.of work, of procedures that they need, things like this actually and
:10:13. > :10:16.non-cancerous mole removal, they could have that done at their GP and
:10:17. > :10:20.be charged. Alarm bells start ringing about privatisation and lots
:10:21. > :10:24.of people are not as sympathetic with GPs as with other doctors,
:10:25. > :10:27.because the average salary is over ?100,000. They feel they should be
:10:28. > :10:32.there to provide a service when it is needed. They would get a third
:10:33. > :10:39.party to provide, a private company, to provide the procedure and they
:10:40. > :10:43.would build the company. It is a kind of privatisation and people
:10:44. > :10:48.will howl about it. I am a heretic on the NHS. I would ask people is to
:10:49. > :10:53.think about a proposal like this. The NHS is unsustainable the way it
:10:54. > :10:56.is going. We have broken the principle of free at the point of
:10:57. > :11:00.use with dental charges, eye tests that we pay for. I have never
:11:01. > :11:04.understood quite why everybody, whether you are a beginner could
:11:05. > :11:09.actually go and see a GP for free. It costs ?25 every time. It seems to
:11:10. > :11:13.me that people paying a certain amount who could afford it, and one
:11:14. > :11:17.on pre-prescriptions, they carry on getting totally free health care,
:11:18. > :11:23.that is most people. The ones who could afford it, I concede that is
:11:24. > :11:35.the direction we will have to go and stop. I said it was a heresy. Jeremy
:11:36. > :11:42.Corbyn will not be impressed. For the sick of my editor, this is not a
:11:43. > :11:47.newspaper policy. I think this is a good headline, actually. When will
:11:48. > :11:54.we ever learn? These are photographs of people on their phones while they
:11:55. > :11:58.are driving. Very dangerous. This follows a crackdown by the police,
:11:59. > :12:02.by traffic police on mobile phone use behind the wheel. It was a week
:12:03. > :12:07.back in November when they caught a thousand drivers during the week
:12:08. > :12:11.doing exactly this and many of them ended up with fines and points on
:12:12. > :12:14.their licence. The government have been trying to toughen up, please
:12:15. > :12:19.have been trying to toughen up with preventing people from doing this.
:12:20. > :12:22.The public sentiment is starting to shift. There have been a couple of
:12:23. > :12:25.horrific accidents at the end of last year when people were killed
:12:26. > :12:30.because someone was on a mobile phone. It is like a drink-driving.
:12:31. > :12:34.There was the social and cultural shift when it was an appalling thing
:12:35. > :12:39.to do and this is going the same way. If you are a pedestrian or in
:12:40. > :12:48.another car, you find yourself watching people using their phone. I
:12:49. > :12:55.see people on bikes on their phones. At least it is a little bit slower.
:12:56. > :13:00.They are less likely to go into a car and kill everyone. The Mirror is
:13:01. > :13:05.the only paper to not have Brexit front and centre. There you go,
:13:06. > :13:07.Daily Mirror, with your national epidemic of people on their phones
:13:08. > :13:12.in their cars and vehicles. Many thanks for that. Thank you for
:13:13. > :13:17.looking at the stories behind the headlines. Thank you for watching.
:13:18. > :13:21.Do not forget that you can see the front pages of The Papers online on
:13:22. > :13:27.the BBC News website. It is all there for you at the BBC website. If
:13:28. > :13:28.you missed the proven anything you can watch it later on the eye
:13:29. > :13:47.player. Not much rain in the forecast over
:13:48. > :13:50.the next couple of days, but there will be fought again. That will be
:13:51. > :13:55.the most disruptive element of the weather. We have some nasty patches
:13:56. > :13:58.across southern counties, the areas of fog will expand across the
:13:59. > :14:00.southern parts to eastern England
