:00:32. > :00:35.The FT says Theresa May is on the brink of formally
:00:36. > :00:37.launching Britain's exit from the European Union after rebel
:00:38. > :00:41.Tory MPs admitted they were unlikely to have the power to block the move.

:00:47. > :00:54.For the Metro, it's "March Madness", as strikes over driver-only trains
:00:55. > :00:56.spread to three parts of the country.
:00:57. > :00:58.The Telegraph has a picture of a serious-faced Nicola Sturgeon
:00:59. > :01:01.behind Theresa May - it says the Scottish leader
:01:02. > :01:03.is threatening to derail Article 50 with plans
:01:04. > :01:04.for a second independence referendum.
:01:05. > :01:08.Brexit preoccupies the Express again - it says MPs have been urged not
:01:09. > :01:10.to wreck the bill's progress through Parliament.
:01:11. > :01:13.And the Times says the heads of 35 Oxford colleges have signed
:01:14. > :01:16.a letter, pleading with MPs to allow EU citizens already resident
:01:17. > :01:21.in Britain the right to stay after Brexit.
:01:22. > :01:24.The Guardian focuses on the possible trade implications for Britain
:01:25. > :01:29.But its front page is dominated by Britain's youngest MP

:01:41. > :02:00.The eye says the Tories are in turmoil ahead of Article 50 this
:02:01. > :02:04.week. You wonder how much turmoil they are in because I do not know
:02:05. > :02:09.how many will vote against the two line bill and keep the amendments
:02:10. > :02:15.the Lords put through. It will go through. I do not think they will
:02:16. > :02:22.get enough support for the amendment. I am afraid that thinks
:02:23. > :02:29.the paper is in a little bit of a term because it is not clear whether
:02:30. > :02:40.it is a row over Brexit all over the mandate is to know when he was
:02:41. > :02:46.defence Minister of forensic fillip. And now raking a promise in the
:02:47. > :02:56.manifesto - that has never happened before I am sure! The Daily
:02:57. > :03:02.Telegraph says... We are getting rid of that one as a non- story. We can
:03:03. > :03:10.look at other aspects of the Brexit issue. A little bit of a spat but
:03:11. > :03:19.mainly from Michael has all time -- Michael Hazel time. He voted against
:03:20. > :03:23.the government and he would be sacked but a short memory because he
:03:24. > :03:30.was a senior member in John Major's team making short Conservative lost
:03:31. > :03:37.the whip. He knows that should you vote against your party there are
:03:38. > :03:42.consequences. Isn't David Davis being somewhat disingenuous of those
:03:43. > :03:47.saying MPs would be trying to reverse Brexit if they were to
:03:48. > :03:53.support the amendments. It is not to stop Brexit at all but bring in
:03:54. > :04:00.safeguards for EU residents still here and also the idea of giving the
:04:01. > :04:06.MPs vote on the deal when we finally get one. What is newish about this
:04:07. > :04:14.is the shift in journalism. All of what you have both said is the post
:04:15. > :04:19.truth phenomena in. Brilliantly described... Word of the year
:04:20. > :04:24.according to the Oxford dictionary... Forget the fact of
:04:25. > :04:33.what you have discovered by fact what you believe in motion --
:04:34. > :04:39.emotionally to be true. I do find some of David Davis's pronouncements
:04:40. > :04:44.extraordinary. Forget about the Lords. In saying you should not
:04:45. > :04:50.attend to those two amendments at all which is what he seems to be
:04:51. > :04:57.saying today, what is the point of the constitutional process... Should
:04:58. > :05:06.it have been in the manifesto, you should not vote against it. When it
:05:07. > :05:11.comes to ping pong what the Lords does is scrutinised but they do not
:05:12. > :05:18.oppose what the elected chamber has done. They said this is what we want
:05:19. > :05:23.you to look at. The comments will look at it again and then at
:05:24. > :05:31.everybody agrees citizens of the EU should stay here and that will no
:05:32. > :05:35.doubt be the case. The Tories may have said we need to have as much
:05:36. > :05:42.concerned for our citizens in the EU as we have for EU citizens here but
:05:43. > :05:51.you cannot keep having vote after vote after vote because it is about
:05:52. > :06:00.not wanting Brexit not to happen. You cannot... At the people is not
:06:01. > :06:06.going to be upended by having these two amendments. It is safeguards,
:06:07. > :06:12.they are not going to stop Brexit. We have the fear over the finances
:06:13. > :06:17.of what would be the punishment budget and now this fear about what
:06:18. > :06:23.is going to happen with EU citizens because we have said we want those
:06:24. > :06:29.people protected but we want to ensure British citizens are
:06:30. > :06:37.protected in the EU. I have mentioned the Telegraph that have
:06:38. > :06:42.barely looked at it. Sturgeon's last-ditch bid to ruin Brexit.
:06:43. > :06:51.Again, the implication that it wants to stop Brexit. Alternative fax...
:06:52. > :07:03.Not quite but we're getting there. We are getting into triumph true
:07:04. > :07:09.thinness. -- Donald Trump truth. It is a rather tangled this story
:07:10. > :07:16.because it suggests that Nicola Sturgeon looking daggers at that
:07:17. > :07:22.very fine hat Theresa May is wearing and a fine photograph on the find
:07:23. > :07:28.page, wants to undo Brexit. If you read the fine deal what she wants is
:07:29. > :07:35.a fine deal which allows the Scots in on the negotiations. Mrs May had
:07:36. > :07:40.pushed her back on that. The Telegraph makes a leap forward and
:07:41. > :07:44.says she is threatening and independence referendum by the end
:07:45. > :07:50.of next year so that by the time we get to the conclusion of the Brexit
:07:51. > :07:59.negotiations, Scotland could be out on the United Kingdom. Could be. If
:08:00. > :08:05.and buts. You can see from the look and body language that Nicola
:08:06. > :08:09.Sturgeon is in a much tighter position, a different corner than
:08:10. > :08:16.Theresa May because the polls are not favouring her for independence.
:08:17. > :08:23.Scotland is so dependent on the English economy, are they really
:08:24. > :08:26.going to bail out? Is it a desperate last-minute attempt and she has been
:08:27. > :08:33.cornered... All these little details... You are going to look
:08:34. > :08:44.after Scotland's best interest if you are its leader. We have to move
:08:45. > :08:51.on. We do! The Times, EU workers must stay. Oxford heads tell Theresa
:08:52. > :08:56.May. A great deal of universities came out in support of remaining in
:08:57. > :09:03.the EU because of the benefits to research and this is our longer
:09:04. > :09:08.those lines? Yes and I know that Oxford calculated within three
:09:09. > :09:15.months after the except vote being taken -- Brexit vote being taken
:09:16. > :09:22.they had lost grounds from the EU and a lot of staff, it teaches in
:09:23. > :09:34.Oxford, in the sciences as specially, art European citizens.
:09:35. > :09:41.They have 35 voting but three would not join this motion. I wonder who
:09:42. > :09:49.they are. Let's look at The Guardian. Britain will be bottom of
:09:50. > :09:54.the heap without a deal on Brexit. How can it be that David Davis and
:09:55. > :10:02.Boris Johnson awaiting this away. That it is not matter about a deal.
:10:03. > :10:11.How can you argue that is a good idea. Who was behind this piece of
:10:12. > :10:16.research? They were all Remainers say you say, it has already been
:10:17. > :10:22.written from a specific point of view so we look at it through that
:10:23. > :10:33.lends and other people would say, you could not get a much worse deal
:10:34. > :10:42.than 68th clean pound trade deficit. -- 68 billion pound trade deficit
:10:43. > :10:53.deal. UKIP get car is against that market. -- tariff. It would enable
:10:54. > :10:59.you to an short to get a good deal because every other country has to
:11:00. > :11:05.make sure that when we leap we are the biggest export market. Would
:11:06. > :11:13.people expect to cope with WTO and tariff? And a drop in the standard
:11:14. > :11:22.of living. Even if you had to deal with the WTO rules, the amount of
:11:23. > :11:27.money that has to be paid, you could still have a surplus. We have to
:11:28. > :11:32.give Theresa May the best chance to get the best deal and be in the best
:11:33. > :11:42.negotiating position. But you could not get much worse. I do not want to
:11:43. > :11:48.sound like Ramona... Hold on, the people who were not happy with the
:11:49. > :11:55.1975 referendum complained for years and years and... I am going to
:11:56. > :12:07.complain about your bias here and it is about EU citizen. And your
:12:08. > :12:12.buyers! Not at all. -- bias. What kind of a voice is it going to have
:12:13. > :12:22.because if you say you are guaranteed this and --
:12:23. > :12:30.disenfranchise Parliament, you're looking at a constitutional... That
:12:31. > :12:39.is what MPs voted to do, to give the state to the people in a significant
:12:40. > :12:47.way. According to Donald Trump, I am one of the bad people. I need to
:12:48. > :12:54.move on. As long as we get back to the point that it was the people who
:12:55. > :13:06.voted for Brexit. Within a margin of error. A waste of time, the youngest
:13:07. > :13:11.MP, Mhairi Black, saying she may not stand for a second term because so
:13:12. > :13:18.little gets done and yet we tried to encourage young people to engage and
:13:19. > :13:24.go into politics. She has a point. The deliberations of Parliament have
:13:25. > :13:31.very little effect. In the words of the late Lord Hailsham, we have an
:13:32. > :13:38.elected dictatorship. If you are in with a solid majority, you can do
:13:39. > :13:44.what all those what they like. We went into Iraq. There is something
:13:45. > :13:51.flawed. It is not quite as broken as Mhairi Black says but it is
:13:52. > :13:59.dysfunctional, you see it on all sides. That is not government vote,
:14:00. > :14:05.where are we with democracy, that is what the slope process is. So many
:14:06. > :14:11.people want to say, Opposition, stakeholder groups, individuals,
:14:12. > :14:15.that is what slows down the democratic process not necessarily
:14:16. > :14:21.what happens in government but making sure everybody has a say.
:14:22. > :14:25.That is probably what she is frustrated about the cover-up over
:14:26. > :14:34.dodgy pay-outs to peers. Apparently an informal probe, an unofficial
:14:35. > :14:38.probe into tears whether they are turning up and doing their jobs
:14:39. > :14:44.properly and claiming their money, all keeping a taxi parked outside
:14:45. > :14:53.the front door as suggested in meet the Lords programme on the BBC.
:14:54. > :14:59.Again, this is not quite what it says. It is largely based on the
:15:00. > :15:06.programme is going out. On the House of Lords. It was an informal
:15:07. > :15:11.enquiries but what the Baroness was saying is it is not an expensive
:15:12. > :15:21.scandal she is driving at, she is driving at the regular ?300 tax-free
:15:22. > :15:26.claim just for turning up. We are getting so little value for money
:15:27. > :15:35.for many of them. She is questioning the productivity. You have created
:15:36. > :15:45.far too many. A chamber nearly a thousand which is... Everybody is
:15:46. > :15:53.coming to the conclusion, is it to many? Could we do with less?
:15:54. > :16:05.I am being urged to mention the fact that in the Daily Mail, the and
:16:06. > :16:12.eight-year-old author is on Tinder, and AppWare you can meet people and
:16:13. > :16:17.get to them. Can we see the picture? Of the young man she is with? If you
:16:18. > :16:22.are 80 and can get him on Tinder I think we would all be on here. I
:16:23. > :16:27.have to speak up for my friend of many years ago, Ms Cooper, I think
:16:28. > :16:32.this is merely essential research for a novel which she is undoubtedly
:16:33. > :16:40.preparing. How deep is the research going?! That's it for the papers.
:16:41. > :16:42.Don't forget, it is on iPlayer. Coming up next, it is The Film
:16:43. > :16:45.Review.
