:00:00. > :00:00.Pugh is being praised for her performance in Lady Macbeth. Find

:00:00. > :00:00.out what Jason Solomons made of the film and the rest of this week's

:00:00. > :00:24.cinema releases in the Film Review. Welcome to our look ahead to what

:00:25. > :00:28.the papers will bring us tomorrow. With us Jim Waterson, political

:00:29. > :00:34.editor at BuzzFeed and Fleet street Fox Suzy Boniface, columnist at the

:00:35. > :00:40.Mirror. Tomorrow's front pages, bank holiday Monday front pages, leading

:00:41. > :00:45.bankers are saying interest-free credit cards are ticking time bombs.

:00:46. > :00:51.The i says Corbyn will pledge ?3 billion to education, reversing

:00:52. > :00:57.Conservative pledges. Plans to make social media forms responsible for

:00:58. > :01:02.digital crimes. The Daily Express focuses on the foreign aid budget,

:01:03. > :01:06.?15 million is funding anti-smoking campaigns in some of the world's

:01:07. > :01:11.most corrupt countries. The Guardian leads on Theresa May's comments on

:01:12. > :01:14.tax, saying the Prime Minister has signalled a rise in National

:01:15. > :01:19.Insurance and income taxed after pledging not to increase VAT. The

:01:20. > :01:23.Times has a similar lead to the Telegraph, social media giants

:01:24. > :01:30.failing to handle dangerous online content. The Mail is considering tax

:01:31. > :01:35.breaks for elderly relatives -- the Mail says Theresa May is

:01:36. > :01:39.considering. And the Sun says Anthony Joshua's not forgotten the

:01:40. > :01:44.bill at his local launderette after his stunning victory. It won't

:01:45. > :01:48.change him, it is like lottery winners, they always say that. The

:01:49. > :01:55.Guardian, we will begin with what's been happening over the weekend in

:01:56. > :02:01.particularly today. Theresa May ruling out an increase in VAT, as

:02:02. > :02:04.Labour have as well, but National Insurance contributions and income

:02:05. > :02:08.tax might be within her sites. Carefully not saying anything else

:02:09. > :02:12.and it seems to be what they're saying is the overall tax take won't

:02:13. > :02:15.increase, the Tories may fiddle with a few things within that,

:02:16. > :02:18.interestingly some of the things Theresa May was talking about,

:02:19. > :02:23.weakening the triple lock in pensions, making it a double lock,

:02:24. > :02:32.someone figure that out for me, and reinvesting the money into long-term

:02:33. > :02:35.social care, which will help some of the social care problems we've got.

:02:36. > :02:38.There's a suggestion they are considering taxes on highly

:02:39. > :02:41.expensive homes, the mansion tax, Ed Miliband's idea, massively derided,

:02:42. > :02:45.and not liked at all, now it will possibly be in the Conservative

:02:46. > :02:49.manifesto. A lot of these things are almost Labour policies. I'm not

:02:50. > :02:53.quite sure that Labour would feel quite that way but you talk to Ed

:02:54. > :02:57.Miliband and the team around him at the moment and they feel vindicated

:02:58. > :03:01.all the stuff the last election was fought on being a risk to the

:03:02. > :03:07.nation's wealth is now being adopted in part by Carizza made's team. The

:03:08. > :03:11.bit to me buried in this is the triple lock pensions, which has been

:03:12. > :03:15.a Tory policy for so long, Theresa May has basically signalled that

:03:16. > :03:20.would be in the Tory manifesto this time round but Labour is going to

:03:21. > :03:23.fight that as a key pledge. Labour will be the party giving far more

:03:24. > :03:27.money to pensioners and the Conservatives are likely to say the

:03:28. > :03:32.pensions are increasing at a lower rate. It's a topsy-turvy world.

:03:33. > :03:36.There's one fascinating bit in here that people might find interesting,

:03:37. > :03:41.internal Tory figures have Theresa May polling ahead of her party.

:03:42. > :03:44.That's why she's not mentioning Conservatives and Tories very much

:03:45. > :03:48.and a poster saying Theresa May in big letters and conservatives in

:03:49. > :03:52.little letters, but Labour is the opposite, Labour has a brand not

:03:53. > :03:58.quite so bad but Jeremy Corbyn is not polling anywhere near as well as

:03:59. > :04:03.the party overall. But Jeremy Corbyn on the i is pledging ?3 billion to

:04:04. > :04:06.close the education gap. We know a lot of head teachers are saying they

:04:07. > :04:10.will really struggle over the next couple of years to make ends meet.

:04:11. > :04:14.Friends who work in teaching say the same, they are looking at whether

:04:15. > :04:18.they can lose a teaching assistant here or cut an entire teaching posts

:04:19. > :04:24.here and cope with one fewer staff member. -- post. The interesting

:04:25. > :04:28.thing is Jeremy Corbyn has made a pledge at a teachers conference but

:04:29. > :04:31.because we don't have the Labour manifesto yet and everything costed,

:04:32. > :04:36.the Tories are hammering him for saying this pledge without costing

:04:37. > :04:39.it. Neither of the two major parties have released details of their

:04:40. > :04:43.funding for their policies, it's allowing the Tories to once again

:04:44. > :04:50.said Jeremy Corbyn will raise taxes. We're not going to have very long to

:04:51. > :04:54.pick over the manifesto is when they are published. They didn't know an

:04:55. > :04:58.election was coming so all the parties are drawing up one quickly

:04:59. > :05:02.on the back of the nearest fag packet to find out what they can get

:05:03. > :05:06.away with. It will be interesting to see. Because those manifestoes to a

:05:07. > :05:10.degree would have been rushed out, more than normal if we had had the

:05:11. > :05:17.election in 2020 as expected, they would have spent a year working up

:05:18. > :05:22.to it, this time it is very quick. We know the conservative one will be

:05:23. > :05:28.very quick and Labour one will be out three weeks before polling, they

:05:29. > :05:33.were very much caught on the hop. The Daily Mirror has an ex-

:05:34. > :05:39.premier's bombshell on the front, Tony Blair returning to politics to

:05:40. > :05:43.help Britain says the Mirror in this exclusive. What is he going to do,

:05:44. > :05:47.how is he going to help? It's not clear if you read the story, over

:05:48. > :05:52.the past several months he has spoken to newspapers and given

:05:53. > :05:56.interviews talking about setting up a think tank or institute that will

:05:57. > :06:02.promote centre-left ideas and centre-left politicians, use some of

:06:03. > :06:06.the money he has earned from after he was Prime Minister to fund that

:06:07. > :06:11.and help Labour back to the centre ground. Inside the story itself it

:06:12. > :06:14.talks about getting out into the country and reconnecting. He flatly

:06:15. > :06:19.says he won't stand for Parliament, he's not going to reconnect with

:06:20. > :06:22.anybody and he's actually saying there are ideas out there that

:06:23. > :06:26.people will be interested in. He hasn't got long to get them out

:06:27. > :06:31.there and talked about and will they be accepted by the current

:06:32. > :06:34.Parliamentary party? When we write about Labour politics, certainly

:06:35. > :06:39.online with a younger audience, Tony Blair is the one term that sets

:06:40. > :06:44.people off, he's more hated by most of the left wing readers we write

:06:45. > :06:49.for than figures on the Tory right. It's a total turnaround from ten

:06:50. > :06:56.years ago when he left power. Might he have a constituency still in

:06:57. > :06:59.people that do remember his days with affection perhaps and think

:07:00. > :07:03.that he did do some good stuff. There might be the demographic that

:07:04. > :07:07.is more likely to vote, slightly older people, the issue will be when

:07:08. > :07:12.he says he's back and this is what he is going to do, what will he do?

:07:13. > :07:16.All he has done so far is give a series of interviews giving his

:07:17. > :07:20.opinion about Brexit and the Labour Party and that is all he is doing,

:07:21. > :07:25.causing a fuss for others. Because of the baggage that comes with him,

:07:26. > :07:29.there's the unfortunate truth whenever he makes an intervention it

:07:30. > :07:31.doesn't help because he is trying to help. Whenever he says you should

:07:32. > :07:35.back this moderate Labour politician, that's the kiss of

:07:36. > :07:40.death. If he wants to help he should be as quiet as possible and use the

:07:41. > :07:43.money for the things he wants to use it for but stop giving interviews.

:07:44. > :07:50.Someone once their period of silence I think. The Telegraph, Facebook

:07:51. > :07:55.must pay to police Internet. A tweet from Ian Finlay saying it is too

:07:56. > :08:01.late, these are global phenomena, global companies, different rules

:08:02. > :08:06.and standards apply all over the world. We saw this when Amber Rudd,

:08:07. > :08:10.the Home Secretary, was trying to get WhatsApp, owned by Facebook, to

:08:11. > :08:15.break its encryption essentially after the Westminster terror attack

:08:16. > :08:19.and WhatsApp, which literally has 1 billion customers around the world

:08:20. > :08:23.and has made a big deal about being encrypted from end to end, shrugged

:08:24. > :08:29.their shoulders and said what are you going to do? This is what we

:08:30. > :08:33.promised our customers. We are reaching the point the sites are so

:08:34. > :08:38.big, three or four years ago we were talking about what's on the Internet

:08:39. > :08:41.and all of us are on our phones all day checking Facebook, your

:08:42. > :08:45.grandmother is on there as much as your little cousin honour at the end

:08:46. > :08:52.result is the theme is basically the public sphere Daschle little cousin

:08:53. > :08:57.and at the end. -- little cousin and at the end. If it's not possible to

:08:58. > :09:03.police it in an old-fashioned sense, is this a threat just to get them to

:09:04. > :09:06.tidy up their act? This is a report by the Home Affairs Select

:09:07. > :09:10.Committee, which has no legislative power, saying they think something

:09:11. > :09:14.should be done, I way to push the Home Office to meet Internet bosses.

:09:15. > :09:18.The way these companies operate, if you defend somebody on the Internet

:09:19. > :09:23.or Facebook or if you commit a crime, their argument is we are not

:09:24. > :09:29.a publisher in the way the Daily Mail or the Daily Telegraph is. We

:09:30. > :09:33.are effectively the medium, we are no more liable for the criminality

:09:34. > :09:36.someone else has committed using our medium than the person who chop down

:09:37. > :09:42.the tree that made the paper that printed the newspaper the Daily

:09:43. > :09:47.Telegraph used to defame somebody. They say they are not a publisher in

:09:48. > :09:50.law. At the moment they say they are publishers they have do accept

:09:51. > :09:55.responsibility for everyone and that is their worst nightmare. That would

:09:56. > :09:59.be a massive pay-out so they won't do that but if they going to be the

:10:00. > :10:04.producer and the medium then they can't be involved in policing it,

:10:05. > :10:08.that's not their job either. The Times, Wimbledon prize smashes ?2

:10:09. > :10:13.million because the pound isn't worth what it was. With Brexit there

:10:14. > :10:19.have been unforeseen circumstances, nobody told us about this when we

:10:20. > :10:22.voted, because the pound has fallen significantly, the ?2 million the

:10:23. > :10:27.singles winners had last year would now be worth a lot less so they are

:10:28. > :10:32.having to up the prize money to at least 2.25 and to make it the same

:10:33. > :10:36.as last year. Interestingly last year, Serena Williams, who won the

:10:37. > :10:41.ladies singles on July the night, earned $340,000 less than if she had

:10:42. > :10:49.had the final on June the 21st -- July the night. We deprived her of

:10:50. > :10:54.340 US dollars due to Brexit -- July the ninth. She will be very pregnant

:10:55. > :10:59.when she comes back. She will be about to pop so I don't think she

:11:00. > :11:07.will be coming. I advise against it, Serena. BuzzFeed as promised. Who?

:11:08. > :11:12.Some upstart website. Is it a newspaper? Let's read this, Theresa

:11:13. > :11:17.May says there are complex reasons why nurses use food banks, and

:11:18. > :11:21.interview this morning with Andrew Marr quoting figures from the Royal

:11:22. > :11:25.College of nursing. A story a lot of our readers got excited about this

:11:26. > :11:28.morning when she was on the Andrew Marr Show on the BBC this morning

:11:29. > :11:32.and was repeatedly asked, you not concerned about the report from the

:11:33. > :11:37.role College of nursing saying some nurses are turning to food banks. In

:11:38. > :11:41.one response she said there's many complex reasons why people use food

:11:42. > :11:48.banks -- Royal College of Surgeons. DG explain what they were? She

:11:49. > :11:52.reverted back to her campaign pitch and avoided the question -- did she

:11:53. > :11:56.explain. During the campaign she has reverted back to soundbites about

:11:57. > :12:00.strong and stable leadership, whenever you drill down to key

:12:01. > :12:04.issues, she has been reluctant and has gone back to talking points.

:12:05. > :12:09.It's as much about her engagement with questions in interviews as it

:12:10. > :12:15.is about the context of what was said. Social media had a field day

:12:16. > :12:19.with this one. In order to use the food bank you have to have a letter

:12:20. > :12:24.from a GP or some other authority figure that says you are hungry and

:12:25. > :12:28.you anticipate you will soon be hungry or your children are already

:12:29. > :12:33.hungry. You don't get to pop into a food bank because Waitrose could be

:12:34. > :12:38.a bit busy. Going to a food bank you have to have an address, all the

:12:39. > :12:41.food that is in there are things that are donated from good causes,

:12:42. > :12:47.it's not exactly people benefiting normally from this. You don't have

:12:48. > :12:51.complex reasons to go there. You are hungry, you are poor, you are

:12:52. > :12:55.probably in work and that's not playing enough to get you to the end

:12:56. > :12:59.of the week and you have children and you need nappies and someone has

:13:00. > :13:02.been good enough to donate and you're able to access that charity

:13:03. > :13:08.quite easily with a letter from your GP, that's the once and for reason

:13:09. > :13:22.you use a food bank for. Thank you. -- once and for reason. The Sun,

:13:23. > :13:30.Brit Champ's. A vowel to make ?1 billion, that would be something we

:13:31. > :13:38.would all want to do -- Brit Champ's vow -- a vow. Unless he has got a

:13:39. > :13:42.pretty big dry-cleaning bill he will be all right. Anthony Joshua, who

:13:43. > :13:46.won the boxing at Wembley Stadium the other night, and he is now on

:13:47. > :13:50.his way to all manner of pay-outs for getting hit very hard in front

:13:51. > :13:58.of a lot of people. Doing lot nicer and a lot less controversial than

:13:59. > :14:03.Tyson Fury -- a lot. In order to make ?1 billion he has to fight 67

:14:04. > :14:07.such fights to make that kind of thing. We don't want to see him do

:14:08. > :14:14.that because of his eye, which is a bit damaged today, as is Vladimir

:14:15. > :14:18.Klitschko, who didn't even win. All of the front pages are on the

:14:19. > :14:23.website, where you can CAD to a review of the newspapers, it is

:14:24. > :14:31.there all week. -- where you can see a review. You can see us there two,

:14:32. > :14:37.each night's addition of the Papers is on there after we finish -- there

:14:38. > :14:39.too. Coming up next, the Film Review. Nobody mentioned line of

:14:40. > :14:41.duty!
