In a moment, it is time for the papers, but for the team here, | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
goodbye Finau. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
to what the papers will be With me are Kate Devlin, | :00:14. | :00:28. | |
Political Correspondent at The Herald and Martin Bentham, | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
Home Affairs Editor Tomorrow's front pages, | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
starting with... The Financial Times leads | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
with President Trump's calls The Metro opens | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
with one mother's warning to bosses at Drayton Manor four years ago - | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
saying the ride where an 11-year-old girl was killed | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
yesterday was dangerous. The Daily Telegraph says it has | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
a copy of the Labour Party's manifesto - and claims | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Jeremy Corbyn is planning to re-nationalise energy firms, | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
the railways and Royal Mail. The Daily Mirror also claims to have | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
had access to the Labour manifesto. The I says the UK is facing a huge | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
rise in stroke cases. The Daily Express says a heatwave | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
is about to hit the UK. And they say it means Britain is | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
heading for a drought. The Times talks about a spat between | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
the Chancellor Philip Hammond And the Daily Mail | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
describes the leaked Labour manifesto as the most | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
left-wing in decades. Right, let's start. Martin, would | :01:31. | :01:40. | |
you set us up? Jeremy Corbyn, the manifesto seems to have been | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
exclusively in several papers, which I know it's a bit strange. Let's | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
start with the daily Mirror headline, which says it pretty well. | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
It does. It leads into a peek inside spread as well, detailing this | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
leaked draft, setting out a very extensive range of policies which | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
the Mirror builds very favourably, the other papers we will come to our | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
obviously much less favourable. This says he will fix rip-off Britain, | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
boost NHS schools and scrap tuition fees. Talking about how power and | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
the railways will be renationalised and other policies including | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
abolishing tuition fees. There is an extensive list and inside they say | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
that Labour have pledged to undo the damage of seven years of Tory | :02:31. | :02:40. | |
austerities, describing it as the bullet of red-blooded socialism and | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
then there is a note saying that Tories are rotten to the core, pages | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
six and seven. It is the favourable look at what is a very extensive | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
manifesto, by the looks of things, which all sorts of people will like | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
and others will not. Kate, there is loads of it, particularly within the | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
inside of the mirror, and you can pick out whatever makes you happy or | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
cross really, can't you? I think some of it is what has been missing | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
from Labour's campaign so far. Some of the things they have announced | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
that not really been that different from what Ed Miliband announced | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
basically in the 2015 manifesto, so the question was kind of becoming, | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
what is the point of a veteran socialist taking over the Labour | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
Party if he's not going to have some socialist policies? Which of the | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
things we do say speak to that? I think certainly renationalisation is | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
something that Ed Miliband never wanted to go towards. Scrapping of | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
tuition fees is not something you could have seen in the 2015 | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
manifesto. And of course people will say, and how will you pay for it Mr | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Corbyn? There is quite a lot of detail about that as well? It's | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
mainly pre-things like raising corporation tax, which the Tories | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
claim has been spent several times over and the Labour Party say is | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
fully costed. There is some support for that run the Institute for | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
Fiscal Studies who say that theoretically at least it is paid | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
for, albeit with the risk that corporation tax increases release in | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
lower corporation tax receipts in the long run. Because companies find | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
other ways of doing things. Because actually we have record corporation | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
tax income last year despite corporation tax having gone down. If | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
you ask for public opinion, surveys, things like we nationalising the | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
railways, although it is quite a left-wing thing to do, it tends to | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
get very high approval ratings in public approval ratings. If we look | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
at the Daily Telegraph, same story but the difference lance. Corbyn 's | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
manifesto will take Britain back to the 1970s, amongst other things they | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
have highlighted, trade unions to be welcomed into the Number ten fold. | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
They are also highlighting a pay cap, which they say would also bring | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
us back to the 1970s. Very interestingly, there is detail on | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
what will be a row in labour about defence and it looks like it is the | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
kind of outcome very tense negotiations. Obviously Jeremy | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
Corbyn has long been on the record of being against the nuclear | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
deterrent, will commit to renewal, which of course is already | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
happening, but it will have a cautious use caveat, as it were. It | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
shows the tensions within his own party, even with this kind of | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
manifesto. I like the Daily Mail front page which could have had | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
their headline written by the same sub editor at the Daily Telegraph. | :05:56. | :06:08. | |
That is one of the problems. I was thinking when I looked at this bat | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
may be the 1970s weren't so bad. We had scorching summers, leaves United | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
won the football, but the general won the football, but the general | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
view on it isn't quite so preferable. There is a tremendous | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
list here of policies, assuming this is spot on, and the danger is that | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
it is efficient to appeal to people in lots of ways but also sufficient | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
for people to find things that alarm them and that's the danger of such a | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
long, you know, the longest suicide note in history. The more you set | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
out the more things there are to be a hostage to fortune potholes to be | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
picked in all for people to say, I don't like it. There are some | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
policies that you could see Ed Miliband might forward. He said they | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
would pit paternity leave a month and pay for it. It was said about | :07:05. | :07:14. | |
the last one that there was a policies -- there were policies that | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
did not add up to a call. They said, vote Labour, win a microwave, but | :07:21. | :07:31. | |
that could be indicated again. Labour Party say they do not comment | :07:32. | :07:46. | |
on leaked articles and the Tories -- the Conservative Party has said this | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
is... The article is suggesting that | :07:55. | :08:08. | |
Philip Hammond have infuriated Theresa May's aids by forcing her | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
not to commit to the promise that the Tories had at the last election | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
of not raising VAT and national insurance, which rather pinned them | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
in, and going back to the budget U-turn, which was forced on the | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
Chancellor when he had to scrap the national Insurance rise, so I | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
suppose the question with this is, does it amount to anything public | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
facing, ultimately, because of course if a party is riven by | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
divisions or, as the party would say with Labour, a chaotic lack of | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
clarity as to what the party is standing for and so on, that becomes | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
a problem. If it is just behind-the-scenes fiction... We are | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
in the middle of a campaign about lots of other things? We are | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
certainly not in Blair - Brown territory here. It is not unleashing | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
the forces from next door quite yet but I think tensions between the | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
Prime Minister and the Chancellor are always interesting, are always | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
important, but given the Brexit negotiations were going to have to | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
face them in next two years, one would suggest it is incredibly | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
important at this stage. The Tories have very united front, don't they, | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
in the election campaign, so if that in any way or form disintegrated, | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
that would be damaging to them. At the moment, there is not a great | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
deal of sign of that. Let's go on to the story dominating on the other | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
side of the Atlantic. The Financial Times has this line about defined | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
Trump calls for closer Moscow ties after firing the FBI chief. I don't | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
think we need to go into the ramifications for James Comey, but | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
it is interesting that Sergey Lavrov was meeting Donald Trump. It is not | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
often I would say this but I think the FT have nail beds. The first | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
word is unabashed. Failing -- firing his FBI chief has unleashed a storm | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
against him. Accusations that he has done it just because the FBI were | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
investigating allegations of legs between him and Russia, so what does | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
he do? He calls for warmer links with Russia. It's the kind of | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
plastic trump move. The question is, I was going to say finally, but we | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
have to remember we are illegal month into his presidency. As he | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
underestimated the storm gathering against him, because now people are | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
calling not just for an FBI investigation but for a special | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
investigation into these allegations. The president said I | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
think with some justification that the Democrats wanted this man's head | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
two days ago but now, look at them, they are squealing and complaining. | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
It is Washington politics at its most raw and fascinating, isn't it? | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
It is true that the Democrats were hostile towards James Comey prior to | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
the US election and his actions over Hillary Clinton. It still is a very | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
disturbing way in which he has done this, just do basically humiliate | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
him, to be frank, the FBI chief. And also, if it was driven by what | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
people suspect, that he was disliking the fact he was being | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
investigated himself, but also, I mean, thank goodness the US has got | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
a very healthy, robust Congress and a lot of people there willing to | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
stand up and fight against this type of thing, because otherwise it is | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
quite damaging and dangerous rate to down. But of course one of the | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
institutions has to be upholding the FBI. I'm afraid we have to leave it | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
there, sadly. Kate and Martin, thank you very much indeed. That is it | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
