:00:16. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:19. > :00:22.With me are political commentator, Jo Phillips, and Liam Halligan,
:00:23. > :00:29.chief economics commentator at The Daily Telegraph.
:00:30. > :00:38.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...
:00:39. > :00:41.The Financial Times, they lead with Theresa May's plans to recommit
:00:42. > :00:43.to the Conservatives' immigration target of tens of thousands, which
:00:44. > :00:47.The Express says Mrs May told voters that border controls were "urgently
:00:48. > :00:50.needed to ease pressure on public services and a wage
:00:51. > :00:53.Rising energy bills feature on The Telegraph's front page.
:00:54. > :00:55.The Daily Mail says the Prime Minister wants to give
:00:56. > :00:58.energy regulator Ofgem powers to limit the tariffs paid
:00:59. > :01:18.Jeremy Corbyn wants a national housing initiative aimed at helping
:01:19. > :01:20.younger and less well-off voters, the Guardian says.
:01:21. > :01:23.And the Metro says new French President Emmanuael Macron does not
:01:24. > :01:24.want to 'punish' Britain during Brxit negotiations
:01:25. > :01:27.because there is a 'strong mutual interest' in maintaining close ties
:01:28. > :01:49.The i says they want to end the border agreement.
:01:50. > :02:02.And we are going to start with the front of the Metro. He is committed
:02:03. > :02:06.to the European project, and clearly the majority of the French people
:02:07. > :02:21.seem to agree. As a result, he wants a good deal for the EU. Not going to
:02:22. > :02:29.smack us over the head. Non! Pardon! Speaking Latin earlier... Yes. He
:02:30. > :02:39.has toned it down a bit since he won. He said we have got this strong
:02:40. > :02:46.mutual interest, this is about the man, supposed to be Macron's EU
:02:47. > :02:54.sherpa. David Davis equivalent. But pushing to keep this economic
:02:55. > :02:59.relationship going, it is the toning down of language, but interesting to
:03:00. > :03:09.see where the battles will come forth. Absolutely. He has said
:03:10. > :03:16.throughout the campaign, that Brexit was not going to be what the park.
:03:17. > :03:20.He is not going to allow a deal that is potentially going to mean Britain
:03:21. > :03:26.has the benefit outside of the European Union, inside? He has got
:03:27. > :03:35.to topped off to some of the electorate, even though he has just
:03:36. > :03:40.won 60/40. And some of those businesses exporting, want a deal,
:03:41. > :03:52.not political chest beating. The i... Talking about, saying the
:03:53. > :04:00.United Kingdom border could move from Calais. The French passports,
:04:01. > :04:08.that is checked in the United Kingdom, and Britain's checked at
:04:09. > :04:13.France. That would have implications for lorry drivers, susceptible to
:04:14. > :04:19.people jumping on the vehicles. The i said that is in question. But we
:04:20. > :04:25.have both looked at the paper. We cannot see the quotations. Theresa
:04:26. > :04:29.May was asked about it, she said it was of mutual benefit to both
:04:30. > :04:38.parties. Inevitably, this is going to be a bone of contention, because
:04:39. > :04:44.you have got such strong feelings, particularly from lorry drivers. But
:04:45. > :04:52.also the French public, because they blame a lot of people, the United
:04:53. > :04:59.Kingdom's fault. It could be easy, for Macron to signal that France
:05:00. > :05:10.should come ahead of everybody else. Steal clothes from the National
:05:11. > :05:17.front. Move the border to Dover! Manchester? London? One of the
:05:18. > :05:25.finest minds! It is a bilateral agreement. It has got no standing,
:05:26. > :05:37.it sort of... Works. What do the French get out of this? Not a lot,
:05:38. > :05:45.as far as I can see. Presumably, other favours from the UK. Hello!
:05:46. > :05:49.This is going to be on the table at some stage, because television
:05:50. > :05:57.pictures can be shocking. And lorry drivers get upset. I think the point
:05:58. > :06:08.that you made earlier, Macron has got this battle, even though he won
:06:09. > :06:15.60/40. An awful lot of people voted Le Pen. An awful lot didn't vote. In
:06:16. > :06:21.general, a lot of people have said that the European project is by
:06:22. > :06:25.contract. I would say, among the people who want to see the European
:06:26. > :06:32.Union carrying on as they want, it is more a pause for breath. And we
:06:33. > :06:40.have got the French parliamentary elections next month. And he would
:06:41. > :06:43.argue that he wants to see the reformed Parliament as well. Staying
:06:44. > :06:53.with immigration, the Express. Page five. Going to take control of the
:06:54. > :07:00.borders, insists Theresa May. It is what we have had all day, bringing
:07:01. > :07:05.down the numbers, the numbers on migrants, and borders, she's failed
:07:06. > :07:10.twice. It has been in the Conservative manifesto for the last
:07:11. > :07:15.two elections. But she has been assuring people, we will have the
:07:16. > :07:21.opportunity to ensure that we have control of the borders. But to go
:07:22. > :07:30.back to what we were just discussing, surely the border is in
:07:31. > :07:39.Dover? David Cameron, said no ifs, no buts. Five digits. And the last
:07:40. > :07:46.full year, 330,000. That was all Theresa May's watch. But this is
:07:47. > :07:51.what she thinks she has got to do, before the election, with Brexit
:07:52. > :07:57.looming, not going to have any excuses. But also making the point,
:07:58. > :08:03.that because of Brexit, she can take this down to the tens of thousands.
:08:04. > :08:09.But many economists would say, that if you try to lower this number, in
:08:10. > :08:16.a couple of years, you are going to do some damage. It has got to be
:08:17. > :08:23.gradual. Even David Davis has said that we need migrants, for the Hill
:08:24. > :08:31.service, science, and other sectors. You have got the danger, that this
:08:32. > :08:38.is about the Conservative Party, trying to out Ukip Ukip. And they do
:08:39. > :08:47.not need to do that. We saw that from the council elections. The same
:08:48. > :08:50.day that Theresa May has said this, Ukip said we want a net migration
:08:51. > :09:00.figure over five years of zero. I do not think even the hardest
:09:01. > :09:08.Brexiteers would say that. It needs 100, 150,000. And those people who
:09:09. > :09:18.voted for Brexit would say that they want control of the borders. The
:09:19. > :09:22.Guardian, Jeremy Corbyn pins hopes on housing reform. Successive
:09:23. > :09:26.governments, going back to Tony Blair have tried and talked about
:09:27. > :09:33.building more and more homes. Never met the target. Jeremy Corbyn thinks
:09:34. > :09:40.that he can do this. The numbers look terrible for the Labour Party.
:09:41. > :09:47.What if you dig deep, is the only issue that they can compete,
:09:48. > :09:52.housing. It goes up the income scale. Kids can't buy homes. It is
:09:53. > :09:58.not just Labour, Conservative, it is completely cross party, and for
:09:59. > :10:04.several decades we have not been building enough homes. Tinsel
:10:05. > :10:10.building, fell to single digit hundreds under Tony Blair, just a
:10:11. > :10:14.small number of thousands, since David Cameron. Jeremy Corbyn knows
:10:15. > :10:25.that he can really appeal to generation rent. Across the country,
:10:26. > :10:28.half of first time buyers rely on the bank of mum and dad. Two thirds
:10:29. > :10:36.in London. The housing market was social mobility, but now anger,
:10:37. > :10:44.discontent. Unfairness. But could this strategy work for them? I think
:10:45. > :10:52.a lot of what Jeremy Corbyn has said, motherhood and apple pie. But
:10:53. > :11:01.no details. Where is the land? Who pays? He has been talking about 5
:11:02. > :11:12.million homes. The problem, and is not just people waiting for tinsel
:11:13. > :11:15.-- council housing, it is a lovely thing to say, but she was how you're
:11:16. > :11:22.going to do that. Am afraid, it points back to the failure of Tony
:11:23. > :11:29.Blair, all of that team, not the building and replacing council
:11:30. > :11:33.faces. And not doing anything to benefits, the housing benefits. I
:11:34. > :11:39.think they thought it would have been the benefits claimants,
:11:40. > :11:49.suffering. The Conservatives have responded. Theresa May facing
:11:50. > :11:53.backlash over the energy crisis. Suggesting the price freeze.
:11:54. > :12:02.Buffaloes believe that could cut investment. Aside from the battles,
:12:03. > :12:18.going on every single day, this is the sort of policy offer, very keen
:12:19. > :12:29.to distinguish between Ed Miliband's, I am getting confused.
:12:30. > :12:42.It is in the papers, you should read them something. This was Ed
:12:43. > :12:46.Miliband's price freeze. And the, contrasting since the 2015
:12:47. > :12:52.manifesto. The energy companies do not want this. They have said it
:12:53. > :12:59.could actually lead to some higher prices. And the other newspapers, we
:13:00. > :13:05.have got some spend. Already, according to calculations, some of
:13:06. > :13:08.them are going to increase energy prices, in anticipation of a new
:13:09. > :13:20.Theresa May government. But this is going to be a big issue. Absolutely.
:13:21. > :13:27.The way that has been presented, I suppose you could suggest that the
:13:28. > :13:34.Times, the newspaper for business. Loosely. The Mail... That could be
:13:35. > :13:42.the newspaper of middle England, it has got a completely different take.
:13:43. > :13:52.?100 off your bill. Exactly. And the Daily Telegraph, you have got anger
:13:53. > :13:54.rising. What this tells you, the taming of these things, because we
:13:55. > :14:02.now have the announcement is going to be coming out tomorrow, Tuesday,
:14:03. > :14:08.it is the taming of when the Conservatives release the manifesto
:14:09. > :14:22.and the reaction. And actually, there's Times has brought together.
:14:23. > :14:30.You got the consumer story, Mail... Talking about on the variable rate.
:14:31. > :14:40.That is a lot of people. But the argument, everybody could switch to
:14:41. > :14:46.that fixed rate. And Theresa May, under One Show tomorrow. And we have
:14:47. > :14:55.got those debates coming up. The special programme. Not going to be
:14:56. > :15:03.on the platform together, with Jeremy Corbyn. The critter. Good
:15:04. > :15:15.idea? Who knows. I think Theresa May, obviously trying. I said one
:15:16. > :15:22.world! I would have preferred the proper television debate. Thank you.
:15:23. > :15:33.Just take a look at this front page. Mirror.
:15:34. > :15:35.The Conservative peer, trying to organise a campaign to reverse the
:15:36. > :15:36.ban on fox hunting. Don't forget you can see the front
:15:37. > :15:40.pages of the papers online It's all there for you -
:15:41. > :15:44.seven days a week - And if you miss the programme any
:15:45. > :15:48.evening you can watch it Thank you to Jo Phillips
:15:49. > :15:52.and Liam Halligan.
