:00:14. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:18. > :00:23.With me are Pippa Crerar, Political Correspondent
:00:24. > :00:26.at the London Evening Standard, and Michael Booker, Deputy Editor
:00:27. > :00:31.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...
:00:32. > :00:33.The Financial Times, which leads on what it says
:00:34. > :00:36.is Theresa May's break with the Tories's Thatcherite past
:00:37. > :00:42.The Telegraph calls it Theresa May's "manifesto for the mainstream"
:00:43. > :00:48.as she promises to make Britain fairer.
:00:49. > :00:50.Tomorrow's Express ramps up the fighting talk over the UK's
:00:51. > :01:16.The Mirror says May will strip 10 million pensioners
:01:17. > :01:19.of their winter fuel payments and warns of possible Tory tax rises
:01:20. > :01:23.The Times is another paper to focus on Theresa May's bid to win voters
:01:24. > :01:25.from right and left as she launches her manifesto
:01:26. > :01:29.The Guardian's front page features the latest photo of Chelsea Manning,
:01:30. > :01:31.the first released since the former US
:01:32. > :01:33.soldier was released from military prison
:01:34. > :01:48.after being convicted of leaking secrets.
:01:49. > :01:56.The Daily Mail is a paper unashamedly saying what it thinks of
:01:57. > :02:01.the Tory manifesto. It is astonishingly supportive, even
:02:02. > :02:06.reverential. I was quite taken aback when I saw this because even though
:02:07. > :02:10.it has been very supportive of Theresa May, especially over the
:02:11. > :02:17.last few days, ahead of the manifesto launch, she can do no
:02:18. > :02:23.wrong. All you need to do is compare this to what would happen if David
:02:24. > :02:27.Cameron was Prime Minister and he announced some of the policies she
:02:28. > :02:35.did today, you can imagine what the Daily Mail might say about the
:02:36. > :02:41.elderly's homes being sold off to pay for care and getting rid of
:02:42. > :02:49.winter fuel allowance. And yet, Theresa May receives plaudits for
:02:50. > :02:52.her practical pledges rather than unrealistic, eye-catching promises.
:02:53. > :02:58.A lot of this comes down to the comment box in the middle, which is
:02:59. > :03:03.the word moral. And the fact that the editor of the Daily Mail has a
:03:04. > :03:10.real admiration for her sense of being... This image of her being
:03:11. > :03:14.very sensible and stable, she is a Christian, she is not afraid of
:03:15. > :03:26.taking on business, she talks about the just about managing. It is
:03:27. > :03:33.pragmatism, it is what she's trying to. I used to like it when they used
:03:34. > :03:39.to lie to us, but across the newspapers, apart from the mirror,
:03:40. > :03:43.it has been very well received and there is this idea that, in
:03:44. > :03:49.newspaper land, people are getting sick of everything going to be fine
:03:50. > :03:53.and by putting this out there in the manifesto, that there will be tough
:03:54. > :03:59.decisions and we are all together in this, we're not the nasty party any
:04:00. > :04:02.more, it is mainstream Britain, or we are all going in one direction
:04:03. > :04:07.and there will be no lurch to the right any more, trying to get some
:04:08. > :04:11.of those Labour voters on side. She started the day in Halifax in a
:04:12. > :04:20.Labour constituency so it is oiled cleverly done. So she has done the
:04:21. > :04:23.job. Take is to the Telegraph. You used the word mainstream and it is
:04:24. > :04:30.one they are picking up with. It will be a word they will keep on
:04:31. > :04:34.mentioning as we go towards the election date itself, they are
:04:35. > :04:40.looking to go away from this, we are all being selfish and individual are
:04:41. > :04:44.now part of one big society. It is that sort of theme. They are
:04:45. > :04:49.reaching out to Labour voters, desperately trying to convince them,
:04:50. > :04:53.you may not have voted for us, but we have got your interests at heart,
:04:54. > :04:58.we have looked at what the left have been talking about, energy caps and
:04:59. > :05:01.things like that, something the Thatcherites have never die in the
:05:02. > :05:05.past, and we will look at doing things like that. They are throwing
:05:06. > :05:12.out the sweeties to potential Labour voters and they will have this great
:05:13. > :05:19.meritocracy, but there are some families who will miss out, there
:05:20. > :05:23.are still a lot of people who are just about managing who rely on
:05:24. > :05:30.getting a house of the parents. When this is passed on, he rely on it.
:05:31. > :05:38.That is a generational issue. But quite a few people are not rubbing
:05:39. > :05:41.their hands with glee, waiting for people to die, but the own way they
:05:42. > :05:49.can get onto the property ladder is this house is. I think the fact that
:05:50. > :05:55.she launched the manifesto in Halifax on the up. It is is it
:05:56. > :05:58.writing Labour heartland in the north of Yorkshire although the
:05:59. > :06:04.Conservatives are not starting at the heel of labour, the majority
:06:05. > :06:10.there is only 128. And Theresa May has been going around marginals,
:06:11. > :06:16.seats that are in very traditional Labour areas. Chris Grayling was in
:06:17. > :06:19.Bolsover, Dennis Skinner's seat. The fact that conservatives are even
:06:20. > :06:27.considering doing well in these places says a huge amount. The FT
:06:28. > :06:33.referencing Labour voters. And the fact she is breaking with
:06:34. > :06:37.Thatcherite faith and going centrist. Theresa May 15 years ago
:06:38. > :06:41.stood up in front of a Tory party conference and said, we're no longer
:06:42. > :06:47.the nasty party. That was a very significant message and how she
:06:48. > :06:53.thought about and said, 15 years on, she's moving towards the. The
:06:54. > :06:56.Conservatives have led the Blair message which is unique to occupy
:06:57. > :07:03.the centre ground to win and win big. People are aware she is a
:07:04. > :07:11.landslide ahead. It seems an ideal time to make difficult choices. She
:07:12. > :07:14.was asked at the launch whether she was a Thatcherite. She is not
:07:15. > :07:22.rejecting that out right but she is not saying... She does not want to
:07:23. > :07:29.avoid with the Thatcherites. We mentioned the mirror. We must make
:07:30. > :07:35.sure we give it a fair crack. They are not happy! This I did a 10
:07:36. > :07:40.million pensioners will lose the winter fuel payments is something
:07:41. > :07:45.the mirror can jump on. There was not a lot of legroom for them to get
:07:46. > :07:50.much in this manifesto that they have jumped on this and rightly so.
:07:51. > :07:56.When they say will be pensioners, we still do not have that definition of
:07:57. > :08:00.what that is. There are those people who are not wondering around in
:08:01. > :08:06.diamond encrusted shoes. Some people do rely on this is that little bit
:08:07. > :08:10.extra to see them through. They made not beyond the breadline but it may
:08:11. > :08:14.be something they are accustomed to. But it is part of that package of
:08:15. > :08:18.tough decisions because a lot of people think, I do not see myself
:08:19. > :08:24.voting for Jeremy Corbyn. It paves the way for tax rises, there is that
:08:25. > :08:32.element of this. There is room for manoeuvre. She has not recommitted
:08:33. > :08:42.to the David Cameron pledge not to put up NI. Only VAT. So whoever wins
:08:43. > :08:48.the election, the prospect of tax going up is a very real one. Oh,
:08:49. > :08:58.brilliant! We must go to the express. David Davis, he used to be
:08:59. > :09:02.Brexit secretary, he is talking about how Theresa May has assured
:09:03. > :09:06.the EU the Briton means business. He has also said she has managed to put
:09:07. > :09:12.them back in the box after those leaks recently about the various
:09:13. > :09:17.talks we have been having already, and he is determined, he says, we
:09:18. > :09:22.still have on the table this idea we will walk away with no deal. He says
:09:23. > :09:30.he spends half his time working on the no Deal deal. Interestingly, he
:09:31. > :09:37.is talking about this idea that there was a suggestion that no
:09:38. > :09:41.senior ministers back a pledge to reduce annual migration below
:09:42. > :09:47.100,000, he says that absolutely wrong. It is not mention anyone else
:09:48. > :09:55.though. Maybe he is not classed as a senior minister! I think he will
:09:56. > :10:02.have a different opinion. Pepper, this is from back to the Daily Mail.
:10:03. > :10:08.Referencing the ITV debate that has been on this evening, which included
:10:09. > :10:14.five party leaders, not the main two, and they had been scathing
:10:15. > :10:19.about that. The Daily Mail... Have you seen the debate tonight? Oh,
:10:20. > :10:26.that debate. A debate like this, prime-time TV debate without the
:10:27. > :10:30.leaders of the two main leaders will not be compulsive essential viewing
:10:31. > :10:37.for that many people. The most they have managed to pick out is the fact
:10:38. > :10:43.that Paul Nuttall had to be told off because he called Leanne Wood
:10:44. > :10:49.Natalie, and did the same thing to Caroline Lucas, presumably referring
:10:50. > :10:53.to the previous Green Party leader. There was a chance for them to stand
:10:54. > :10:58.out. It does sound as though they were just reading prepared answers.
:10:59. > :11:03.There was a chance for someone to step up there, make a name for
:11:04. > :11:07.themselves and put a good case forward. Nicola Sturgeon has a
:11:08. > :11:13.reputation as being a really effective performer. Tim Farron was
:11:14. > :11:18.the one probably that desperately needed to show he was capable of
:11:19. > :11:22.being a strong voice, a strong leader, because the Lib Dems are
:11:23. > :11:29.really not managing to get to this resurgence they have talked so much
:11:30. > :11:33.about. In a poll today, they have halved the level of support. It is
:11:34. > :11:39.like a boxing match without the opposition. They are swiping at the
:11:40. > :11:48.end nothing is coming back. One last Tory, London city's air traffic has
:11:49. > :11:53.gone virtual. Terrifying! I travelled in the City Airport just
:11:54. > :11:59.on Wednesday and it has got a very steep descent into the airport
:12:00. > :12:05.anyway. There are no real people there. Computer hackers...
:12:06. > :12:09.Technology going wrong. We give everything over the technology. How
:12:10. > :12:12.panicky do we get when we go to the supermarket and we end up in the
:12:13. > :12:17.place where there are those tills are no people the? Aeroplanes are
:12:18. > :12:23.largely flown by computers anyway. We like to pretend they are not. I
:12:24. > :12:28.feel greatly reassured there is a pilot. You asked a guy who landed
:12:29. > :12:33.the Hudson unusual, you did it himself. You are quite right. I
:12:34. > :12:37.watch a film only a few weeks ago, it was very good. We have run out of
:12:38. > :12:50.time, thank you both very much indeed. You can see the front pages
:12:51. > :12:51.of the papers online. And if you mist the programme, you can watch it
:12:52. > :13:07.later on the BBC iPlayer. The weather has been turning more
:13:08. > :13:09.unsettled over the
