Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
With me are the former Trade Minister, Lord Digby Jones | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
and the Broadcaster and Campaigner, Henry Bonsu. | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
The Financial Times says push to reform company bosses. | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
The Metro leads with a warning that GP practices are | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
Whilst The Telegraph claims the surgery shortage is down | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
The i says parents face prosecution for taking their children | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
The Daily Mail says travel companies must lower Fayers to help families. | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
The Express reports on an armed police presence | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
at the Grand National, for the first time | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
The Daily Mirror claims the serial killer Peter Sutcliffe | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
The Times says first-time home buyers are being priced out by large | :01:11. | :01:26. | |
numbers of foreign investors. That is a flavour of the front pages and | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
we will get into at least of those but let's talk about GPs, tell us | :01:31. | :01:40. | |
about the front of Metro. Critical levels in red and a black and white | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
headline. The whole purpose of the critical aspect of this is that so | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
many GPs are leaving the profession, some earlier than you might have | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
thought, and one of the reasons for that is going to be pressure at work | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
coming into stress and one reason will be the pensions that are | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
available to the GP profession is going to be brought more in line | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
with the private sector, paying more in and get less out. The public | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
sector have had it too good for too long, and all that means is that an | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
approaching doctor thinks it is best to get out now and not risk it | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
later. That is about what the doctor might think, the other side, and it | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
is always difficult for people like us to understand which part of this | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
is relevant. If you have less demand on certain parts of the city and | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
more demanding another part of the city, then one of the good things to | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
do is to close that one, you merge it into this bigger one, you don't | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
need as much administration costs and you save money for the taxpayer. | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
You asked doctors to move and you ask some of those patients to walk | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
15 minutes to get there. Upside, you save money, then said it becomes | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
more of a factory and therefore a lot of doctors and GPs say I don't | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
like this. And it might be longer than 15 minutes, especially if you | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
are old! And it is difficult to see at what point is this good for us | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
and what point is it not. Tony Blair changed the relationship between the | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
NHS and you, fundamentally paid a lot more money and then worked in a | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
harder. A lot are working incredibly hard but quite a few but like the | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
screws being twisted. If you think about it, a lot of figures on this | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
story, let's go through one North two. 57 GP surgeries shut last year. | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
Doesn't sound like much but it affects a quarter of a million | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
patients because that is the average. The number of practices | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
closing up 15% on 2015 and 100% on 2014. I will take a different tack. | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
It is because of stress, it is because of underfunding. We the | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
great British public expect more and more out of the NHS and who is on | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
the front line? GP surgeries, even talk of a seven day a week service | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
and you saw how angry they were. It sounds great on paper but it is the | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
human beings in the end. The private sector is very difficult as Donald | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
Trump is finding from the public sector. He made a point about public | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
sector pensions compared to private ones, do you agree? Just looking at | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
the figure, the amount you can save before being taxed as being reduced | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
from 1.8 million to one million and they are saying as a result of that | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
GPs are retiring early. But it is a vocation, not about money. Let's | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
show you the front of the Telegraph because it has that on the front | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
page as well, saying much the same thing. The answer is why is this | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
happening and that is the question. It is never going to be simple and | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
not going to be just one answer. But it is true to say they are trying to | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
bring service levels, response levels and volume of work in line | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
with a lot of people in the private sector who don't feel there is a | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
fair balance between public and private. Specifically on pensions? | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
Private sector pensions have been absolutely devastated than the last | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
10-15 years and public sector pensions have not. It got to the | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
point with the civil service when a lot of people got into the public | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
sector just to get such a good pension. Last word on that one. If | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
you use your local GP surgery and see the impact it has when it closes | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
especially for older people who are more infirm and you see how hard | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
most GPs work, they really do, a vocation and not about the money, | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
and they are being pushed to the limit. I don't wholly disagree with | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
that. Thank you. I knew there would be harmony in the end! Takers to the | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
other story in the Telegraph we were looking at with regards to Syria and | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
the British and American position. Things moving quickly. A few days | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
ago Rex Tillerson said the US didn't really feel that they wanted to get | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
rid of President Assad. It wasn't really something they were worried | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
about some people felt that has been a shift of emphasis from President | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
Obama to President Trump but no President Trump has done a 180 | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
degrees turn because of the appalling chemical weapons attack | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
people are blaming on the jets of Bashar Al Assad. We have all seen | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
the terrible pictures, people who have lost children, men and women, | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
really terrible, and Donald Trump says something has to happen. | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
Options for the military strike being considered. And the one thing, | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
I don't think Syria was Barack Obama's finest moment. Right from | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
the day he said chemical weapons are a red light and I am not putting up | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
with and he did, they knew what they were getting away with. Saying up | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
with this I will not put, the upside is the sponsoring of the President | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
Assad regime, they will think, there's a new player in this, thread | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
a little carefully. It is another dimension and a good thing on the | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
other hand, another red line. Just like Barack Obama said, another red | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
line. You have used the words and it is true, people immediately think | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
guns. And if the node don't do that they weaken their possession. | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
Potentially to take a military strike on Syria when there are | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
Russian forces involved. Do you coordinate with the Russians? What | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
exactly do you bomb? What about civilian casualties? Do you give | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
them a slap on the wrist or go much harder. Boris Johnson is saying we | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
need to calm down and investigate to see if it really was the Syrian | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
government but most people seem to say. And that is the motion the UN | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
will be looking at, calling for an investigation. Really poor show, 48 | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
hours afterwards, let's have an investigation. It is a good thing in | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
terms of it is more than nothing but the problem you have with the | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
security council of each member has a veto. Russia is never going to not | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
veto, if you don't mind the double negative, anything that censors | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
President Assad because he is their puppet. It is going to test the | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
Russia- friendly Donald Trump in ways not tested before. Especially | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
with the 180. Interesting conversations. Exactly. It is a line | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
in the sand. There's a problem, I am agreeing with you again. Test it | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
further, the Financial Times. I like the photograph at the top, and I | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
would draw a bubble lover less and have word bubble, have you heard the | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
one about... ? A very serious person, let's not get all Daily | :09:26. | :09:37. | |
Mail. I am very impressed with the orderliness of Prime Minister. | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
Multiparty political thing. As a personality. That fourth graph | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
suggests a reasonably friendly cordial moment. It does say they | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
agree we need to lower tensions but how much control do they have over | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
the other actors. I am not talking about Nigel Farage. Don't worry | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
about what these actors do in public posturing, worry about in private. | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
That is where the deals will be. Not until the books are published! The | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
other story is then at the bottom. I am so pleased you have allowed me to | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
say this, because I have had big executive pay up to here. When I was | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
at the CBI went on about it and as a minister, and frankly, there are so | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
many chief executives who might deserve it, but so does a nurse | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
deserve it but we can't afford to pay nurses, and these people ought | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
to set a better example. The other example as you have some people who | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
have failed or field relatively on the job and they still Gate great | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
pay rises. It is doing nothing for the reputation of the business or | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
for wealth creation and capitalism and always at the end of the day, my | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
solution was always that has to come from within. Here you have rich | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
countries, usually oil-based, Norway is one of the best because it has a | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
serious good values. It has a huge amount of money because of oil, and | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
they are saying, the boss of the welfare fund, he is saying, what we | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
don't want to have any more is a lack of transparency, complication | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
and two short term. His exact words are, pay should be long-term, so in | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
other words you can fiddle the figures to have a good year and the | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
big bonus. Two, simple. So many of these peer awards are made after | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
complications and they get a great check possibly when the company has | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
done badly. Lastly, transparent. So that you and I can understand it. | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
That will not solve it but it is a very big step in the right | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
direction. Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn would agree with this. It | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
involves the words create profit which I don't think he understands! | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
Jeremy Corbyn unavailable to respond to that he ran now. Parents face | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
price after losing school holidays. The father from this case is furious | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
because he won the original case but it has been overturned by the | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
Supreme Court. It means you have to turn that might bring your child | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
into school when the headteacher says so. And one of the problems is | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
if you are not a tour operator holiday company you have been | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
charging a lot more for the product, this was going to actually I learned | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
that out and now they can go back to exploiting it. I would say, wouldn't | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
I, welcome to the market, not much you can do. I think what's going to | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
happen is a lot of parents are going to look at the situation and | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
consider it worthwhile fine. You got the last word! Don't forget you can | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
see the front pages online and on the BBC News website, all Graf | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
review seven days a week. If you mist the programme any evening you | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
can watch it later on BBC. Thank you. | :13:21. | :13:33. | |
The warmest weather today was in London where the temperature this | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
afternoon rose to 18, lovely blue skies, much | :13:40. | :13:40. |
