24/01/2017 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our to what The Papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

With me and the London Evening Standard's Political Correspondent

and Nigel Lanson -- Nelson, Political Editor at the Sunday

people. Let's look at the front pages. It is all about Brexit. Metro

has more on the Supreme Court ruling in article 50. They 50. They see a

bill could come before MPs as early as Thursday. The Daily Express

claimed any plans to prevent Brexit from happening will be thwarted by

new legislation at Westminster. The Telegraph says Jeremy Corbyn and

Nicola Sturgeon are planning to undermine the Prime Minister's plan

for a clean Brexit, but it is not just the opposition parties that

could be a thorn in her side. The Times says Tory rebels demanding a

full debate over the departure from the EU. The Guardian says MPs want

more of a plan that more of a say in plans to leave the single market. An

investigation into drivers using mobile phones behind the wheel in

the daily Mirror. It is a hoary old phrase, but what a great way to

start. Theresa May she lost the battle, but she the war. The Metro,

how many times will we say that. This is the story about the Supreme

Court decision, the Brexit bill will have to go before MPs and the

response from the government that it will happen as fast as possible. The

Metro is one of the few papers that covers the story in a straightaway.

They tell us what happened, but where's the other papers concentrate

more on what happens next and the ensuing battles and rebellions

within her own party, and within the opposition parties as well. The

Metro plays it straight. Number ten will be relieved in two areas. One

is the devolved governments, especially Scotland, didn't get the

right to have a say on Brexit. Secondly, the court didn't

explicitly state what happens next. That would be left up to the

government. It wasn't all bad news. We knew this would be the result,

didn't we? From the High Court, it was highly unlikely it wouldn't go

this way. The whole point about the devolved government is not being

able to influence all this, we probably knew that was going to

happen as well. It is a bit of a win- win for Theresa May. She didn't

want to have the vote in the first bus. She would have liked none of

the court cases to have happened and carried on doing it on the royal

prerogative and not been involved. What she has two now get three is

that it is not nearly as straightforward as the Metro likes

to present the story. There will be an awful lot now going on. The

problem they have got is that article 50 may or may not be

reversible. We don't know. After all, Brexit means Brexit, so does

that actually matter? It matters to MPs, because what it will mean is

they have got one important for where they can influence events. The

moment we trigger Brexit, then we are moving out of the EU, there is

no going back. When you think about it, all the other votes that come

up, not really of any importance whatsoever. They get a final vote on

whether to accept the deal that will either be hard Brexit or hard as

nails Brexit, it will be up them. The little devils are in the

details. Judges make history in Brexit blow to ministers. This is

their take on it, because now, MPs, including some conservatives, could

decide that we don't want to leave the customs union, we should be in

the single market. We have agreed to split up with Europe but the divorce

details have yet to be fleshed out. What the Times was in on is the

Conservative MPs causing trouble for the Prime Minister as we go forward.

During the debate in the Commons today, David Davis, there were seven

Conservative MPs who suggested they had concerns about the single market

aspect of Brexit in particular. They called for there to be a white

paper. The government would have a set out a paper with more detail as

to the way forward before MPs had a vote. This has been something that

number ten said would not happen, but David Davis today has been

distinctly cool about. There is some suggestion that they could be

holding that back in reserve if they need to appease their own

backbenchers and the opposition parties who want a White Paper. They

wanted to help smooth the passage of the article 50 foot. Give me a

couple of potential amendments. The other amendment will be from Labour

and that would be the negotiating position, which will be to keep

Britain in the single market. Theresa May has said no way. I think

quite rightly so. If she does that, there is no way of not accepting

free movement, therefore the key point of immigration which a lot of

people were voting for Brexit on those out the window. She makes the

point it is more or less staying in the EU and UN if we stay in the

single market. Within come to the next bit, the customs union. Surely

a matter of the movement of goods. Maybe there is a deal there. I would

have thought not. Again you have the rules, you have the common tariff

for outside goods. You also have the situation where we cannot do trade

deals elsewhere and by Friday they should be a nice one with Donald

Trump, Bob. To the Daily Telegraph. Talking about the amendments and the

obstruction is the opposition parties and some Tory backbenchers

could put in the way of all this. Nicola Sturgeon, Mr Farren and

Jeremy Corbyn, the suggestion from the paper is Nicola Sturgeon and Mr

Corbyn are somehow striking a pact. It suggests they are plotting to

undermine Theresa May's plans. I would be very surprised if they were

actually on the phone to each other trying to work on the way forward.

Some Scottish MPs have said they will table 50 amendments, which

means they might not just delay the process, but also shifted

considerably into their sort of Brexit, which as we know they didn't

want at all. So, one of these amendments is a proposal to block

Brexit entirely. The Liberal Democrats, for their part, are keen

to seek a second referendum and oppose triggering Article 50. There

MPs will vote against that. Labour, the big problem for them is how

individual MPs will vote because the party, Jeremy Corbyn said the party

will support continuing with the article 50 vote, but many individual

Labour MPs would be hard pushed who are in favour of that. Two thirds of

Labour voting constituencies voted in favour of Brexit. Judy Foote with

their conscience, their constituents or the national result? -- do they

vote? At the moment it would appear that are not enough MPs to stop

Brexit. There will be enough Tory MPs. The only one who seems to be

going to vote against it is Ken Clarke. The chances are that it will

go through, but there are a lot of fun and games on the way. The key

thing is we will be learning about Parliamentary procedure is that we

have never heard of in the next few weeks. What they are trying to find

is how do you" will probably be a one or two Kleinveldt? There isn't

much room to amend anything. What they will try to do is find a

Parliamentary procedure which means they can get something in there.

That is what they will be working on over the next few days. If they do,

if they find something that is in order, that will become part of the

vote. So, it might be, with Tory rebels, with Labour, with the SNP,

if they line, it is possible you could delay the process simply by

demanding the single market access. We are going to go on to the times

then. It is GPs draw up plans for patient charging. That sounds

alarming. It should be said that this is not one of the official

College of GPs or a proposal by a large group of them. This is a

senior GB in Oxford who is working with colleagues to develop this

proposal to charge patients for weekend or even appointments. There

has been a long-running dispute between doctors, between GPs and the

government. Theresa May once a seven day with access for all of us who

are hard at work during the day to be able to go to our GP in the

evening or at weekends and GPs are saying is not possible with the

money they have got. What they are suggesting is for particular types

of work, of procedures that they need, things like this actually and

non-cancerous mole removal, they could have that done at their GP and

be charged. Alarm bells start ringing about privatisation and lots

of people are not as sympathetic with GPs as with other doctors,

because the average salary is over ?100,000. They feel they should be

there to provide a service when it is needed. They would get a third

party to provide, a private company, to provide the procedure and they

would build the company. It is a kind of privatisation and people

will howl about it. I am a heretic on the NHS. I would ask people is to

think about a proposal like this. The NHS is unsustainable the way it

is going. We have broken the principle of free at the point of

use with dental charges, eye tests that we pay for. I have never

understood quite why everybody, whether you are a beginner could

actually go and see a GP for free. It costs ?25 every time. It seems to

me that people paying a certain amount who could afford it, and one

on pre-prescriptions, they carry on getting totally free health care,

that is most people. The ones who could afford it, I concede that is

the direction we will have to go and stop. I said it was a heresy. Jeremy

Corbyn will not be impressed. For the sick of my editor, this is not a

newspaper policy. I think this is a good headline, actually. When will

we ever learn? These are photographs of people on their phones while they

are driving. Very dangerous. This follows a crackdown by the police,

by traffic police on mobile phone use behind the wheel. It was a week

back in November when they caught a thousand drivers during the week

doing exactly this and many of them ended up with fines and points on

their licence. The government have been trying to toughen up, please

have been trying to toughen up with preventing people from doing this.

The public sentiment is starting to shift. There have been a couple of

horrific accidents at the end of last year when people were killed

because someone was on a mobile phone. It is like a drink-driving.

There was the social and cultural shift when it was an appalling thing

to do and this is going the same way. If you are a pedestrian or in

another car, you find yourself watching people using their phone. I

see people on bikes on their phones. At least it is a little bit slower.

They are less likely to go into a car and kill everyone. The Mirror is

the only paper to not have Brexit front and centre. There you go,

Daily Mirror, with your national epidemic of people on their phones

in their cars and vehicles. Many thanks for that. Thank you for

looking at the stories behind the headlines. Thank you for watching.

Do not forget that you can see the front pages of The Papers online on

the BBC News website. It is all there for you at the BBC website. If

you missed the proven anything you can watch it later on the eye

player. Not much rain in the forecast over

the next couple of days, but there will be fought again. That will be

the most disruptive element of the weather. We have some nasty patches

across southern counties, the areas of fog will expand across the

southern parts to eastern England
