:00:22. > :00:24.to what the the papers will be With me are Martin Lipton,
:00:25. > :00:27.who's Deputy Head of Sport at The Sun and the journalist
:00:28. > :00:30.and broadcaster, Rachel Shabi. Tomorrow's front pages
:00:31. > :00:31.starting with... The Observer leads with fire safety
:00:32. > :00:34.standards in schools, saying proposals to relax guidelines
:00:35. > :00:37.are to be dropped by ministers. Prince Harry dominates the front
:00:38. > :00:50.page of the The Mail on Sunday. It says he considered quitting his
:00:51. > :00:54.royal role, but he stayed for the Queen. --
:00:55. > :00:56.The Sunday Telegraph's headline reads "Blackmail fears after Mps
:00:57. > :01:06.story on the Sunday Times, who say there was fury at the time
:01:07. > :01:08.it took for the incident to be revealed.
:01:09. > :01:10.And the Express leads with an image of Jeremy Corbyn,
:01:11. > :01:12.saying he ignored Armed Forces Day invitations to appear
:01:13. > :01:24.way will begin with the Observer and the ongoing concerns about fire
:01:25. > :01:29.safety. Ministers and panic U-turn over fire
:01:30. > :01:35.safety in schools, cost-cutting would have been a disaster. Yeah,
:01:36. > :01:47.all source of things emerging about fire safety in the aftermath of the
:01:48. > :01:52.tragedy at Grenfell Tower there were proposals to relax safety rules for
:01:53. > :02:01.skills as a cost-cutting measure but it has now completely abandoned
:02:02. > :02:06.that. The Observer says that it is more evidence that the government
:02:07. > :02:10.has changed its approach, that it is less occupied with cost-cutting and
:02:11. > :02:15.more concerned with health and safety, which obviously makes you
:02:16. > :02:22.wonder why health and safety wasn't the priority in the first place! It
:02:23. > :02:25.is odd, when you think that you have health and safety regulations, fire
:02:26. > :02:31.regulations, building regulations, how flexible of a? What we have
:02:32. > :02:35.first of all is a sense of innate chaos which seems to have taken over
:02:36. > :02:39.the whole of local and national government in the wake of the
:02:40. > :02:45.horrendous events of ten days ago in Kensington. I find it hard to
:02:46. > :02:55.believe that in this day and age it was acceptable at any point for
:02:56. > :02:59.safety measures not to be standard in buildings which people are going
:03:00. > :03:03.to use. I don't know what sort of country we are in when this is
:03:04. > :03:09.allowed to happen. The statement from this draft legislation that's
:03:10. > :03:14.cool buildings do not need to be sprinkler protected to achieve a
:03:15. > :03:24.reasonable standard of life safety -- that school buildings. Do not
:03:25. > :03:29.meet that. Why? If you have children there, you would want to put things
:03:30. > :03:35.in place. These housing blocks, there were no spin the systems. It
:03:36. > :03:41.is astonishing. Some of it is down to cost, the retrofitting of old
:03:42. > :03:46.buildings. Changes are made in good faith, and people discover that they
:03:47. > :03:52.are not OK with tragic consequences. It is a coming together of lots of
:03:53. > :03:55.different things. It seems to be motivated by cost-cutting,
:03:56. > :04:03.especially if he's like the cladding. That seems to be becoming
:04:04. > :04:12.a bigger and -- especially issues like the cladding. That seems to be
:04:13. > :04:17.becoming a bigger and bigger issue. 34 blocks in 17 authorities. I have
:04:18. > :04:25.heard that 100% of those buildings tested so far have failed. This is a
:04:26. > :04:29.terrifying... It is a national crisis and what is worrying at the
:04:30. > :04:34.moment is that the government is not treating it like a crisis. It has
:04:35. > :04:41.not have Cobra meetings. Ed Miliband was tweeting earlier that when we
:04:42. > :04:46.have things like foot and mouth, there were Cobra meetings and it was
:04:47. > :04:51.coordinated as a national level. I want to look at the Sunday
:04:52. > :04:55.Telegraph, they are saying it is not just about cladding, installation is
:04:56. > :05:00.the real inferno threat. It will have to widen out the scope of the
:05:01. > :05:05.investigation and maybe that will trigger these emergency meetings.
:05:06. > :05:11.The cost of what will have to be done is now having a significant
:05:12. > :05:16.threat to budgets of government, local governor and national
:05:17. > :05:24.government. This seems to be an escalation. And it has to be done.
:05:25. > :05:32.Nobody can be a cheapskate is now. In case something else happens. And
:05:33. > :05:39.they were to blame. It is going to be an astronomical price to be paid.
:05:40. > :05:43.And where is the money coming from? They have to find it from central
:05:44. > :05:49.government because councils don't have the money. Experts are saying
:05:50. > :05:53.that it is ludicrous that you are only testing the outer covering of a
:05:54. > :06:02.building and not the insulating material. So again, inside buildings
:06:03. > :06:08.is being looked at. This has come up before, that experts are saying that
:06:09. > :06:17.it is the panelling behind the cladding, the material dues is
:06:18. > :06:21.different in the UK. In the the US, they use metal, we use plastic,
:06:22. > :06:29.which is highly flammable. In this report in the Sunday Telegraph, why
:06:30. > :06:34.are you testing the outer cover and not the interlacing material? And it
:06:35. > :06:46.can be the cavities left behind when you seal windows that pull the fire
:06:47. > :06:48.up in -- inside the building. So councils are concerned because they
:06:49. > :06:52.want to make sure that people are safe but also because they are
:06:53. > :06:56.worried about how they will be able to afford to do that which is why it
:06:57. > :07:03.needs to happen on a nationally coordinated level.
:07:04. > :07:07.Let's look at some genuine party politics, the Conservative Party.
:07:08. > :07:14.The Sunday Telegraph saying Tory plot to skip toxic generation and
:07:15. > :07:19.install younger face as next leader. Who is this plot by and who is the
:07:20. > :07:28.younger face? This is an inversion of the usual. Young cardinals like
:07:29. > :07:32.having an old Pope but this time they are forgetting the old Pope and
:07:33. > :07:39.the old cardinals and go for the Young Pretoria on guard. People like
:07:40. > :07:44.Sajid Javid and Jessye Norman and uncle Tom Cobleigh and all! The
:07:45. > :07:56.likes of Johnson and David and Hammond one has to assume are seen
:07:57. > :08:03.as part of a bustard flush -- a busted flush generation. I'm not
:08:04. > :08:06.sure this will be agreed by too many people within the parliamentary
:08:07. > :08:12.Conservative Party. We are absolutely certain that any
:08:13. > :08:15.political prediction is a legible twaddle because everyone but is
:08:16. > :08:29.entirely wrong over the last few years. Well, yeah. Not all of us!
:08:30. > :08:37.You said Brexit would win, Trump would win and Coleman would come out
:08:38. > :08:41.as the top leader? I did not say any of that but I was more willing to
:08:42. > :08:45.engage with possibilities of the Corwen leadership and to see that
:08:46. > :08:48.there were political shifts that might create support for him in a
:08:49. > :08:58.way that lots of people were very quick to dismiss. But you didn't see
:08:59. > :09:05.it coming? Nobody saw it coming. Nobody's crystal balls are working.
:09:06. > :09:11.The fact that you have clearly got factions and its use within the Tory
:09:12. > :09:15.party are clear. You have a silly diversion stories. This one in the
:09:16. > :09:20.Telegraph... Would you like the movers onto the Sunday Times? It
:09:21. > :09:31.says ministers want spreadsheet fail. -- spreadsheet Phil Hammond.
:09:32. > :09:41.So, apparently... Have you told us the headline? I just told you,
:09:42. > :09:44.ministers want spreadsheet Phil Hammond as caretaker PM. And they
:09:45. > :09:49.want an immediate usurpation of Theresa May. There should be a
:09:50. > :09:53.double headed beast at the top of the Tory party which will be Phil
:09:54. > :10:01.Hammond and David Davis, but only for two years. Would they want the
:10:02. > :10:06.job, given what they have to do? I do know. It's a strange situation
:10:07. > :10:10.for the Conservatives. In this case, the political editor has been
:10:11. > :10:17.speaking to a lot of people, a serving minister who is on the
:10:18. > :10:21.Hammond side, who says that the PM's brand is so damaged, it's painful.
:10:22. > :10:28.The calculation that people are making is that she is so inadequate
:10:29. > :10:32.we cannot wait two years. That is the Conservative's dilemma, she is
:10:33. > :10:39.toxic as a brand, and yet they can't figure out who to replace her with.
:10:40. > :10:45.When they do, they will. But Philip Hammond, what a turnaround for him!
:10:46. > :10:49.This is a fellow whose budget unravelled in two days and he is now
:10:50. > :10:53.supposed to be this safe pair of hands. He was sidelined during the
:10:54. > :10:59.entire election campaign and was going to be dumped if she had the
:11:00. > :11:03.majority that she expected. There's obviously a factional war going on
:11:04. > :11:12.and he is the figurehead of the Remain side. But a minority within
:11:13. > :11:16.the parliamentary party, a majority of those will be Brexiteers and even
:11:17. > :11:26.those that won't have become such, even the current Prime Minister.
:11:27. > :11:33.Let's look at the Observer. Corbyn tells Glastonbury, don't build
:11:34. > :11:38.walls. Thousands chanting his name. A peculiar spectacle, not what you
:11:39. > :11:41.expect at Glastonbury, to have a leading politician on the stage with
:11:42. > :11:52.people cheering instead of throwing things at him. It is an
:11:53. > :11:56.extraordinary thing. Full it is a phenomenon that I find hard to get
:11:57. > :12:02.my head around, but it exists. If we have said this a few years ago, that
:12:03. > :12:07.the Labour Party will have a staunchly left-wing leader who will
:12:08. > :12:12.appear at a headline concert at Glastonbury to tens of thousands of
:12:13. > :12:17.people who will chair his name and he will read Shelley to them, rise
:12:18. > :12:21.like lines, you are many, they are few. If you said that that was going
:12:22. > :12:25.to happen, if you years ago, right... The reason it is a
:12:26. > :12:32.phenomenon is that he has tapped into a hunger for this kind of
:12:33. > :12:37.politics. It has been there for some time, without somebody to articulate
:12:38. > :12:41.it at a political level. He is the man that has done it. He has
:12:42. > :12:49.catalysed this incredible movement around him. But the express and Mail
:12:50. > :12:52.on Sunday both saying, why was he at Glastonbury and not at Armed Forces
:12:53. > :12:59.Day which is where Prince Edward and the Prime Minister was. Some people
:13:00. > :13:03.will say he should have been there, others will say he exercised his
:13:04. > :13:07.democratic right not to be there. Whatever Jeremy Corbyn does he will
:13:08. > :13:16.be criticised by some and criticised by others. -- praised by others. But
:13:17. > :13:22.I don't understand where this phenomenon came from. It is clearly
:13:23. > :13:28.there. Finally, the Mail on Sunday, I wanted out, says Prince Harry, a
:13:29. > :13:33.reluctant Prince. He says he considers quitting the royal role,
:13:34. > :13:37.but stayed because of the Queen. I am not a royalist, but I respect
:13:38. > :13:42.what the younger generation of royals have been doing by speaking
:13:43. > :13:45.so honestly about these issue is. He has spoken before about the
:13:46. > :13:51.difficulty he has had after the death of his mother. He has spoken
:13:52. > :13:58.of having mental health issues at -- as having all. They have tried to
:13:59. > :14:03.promote awareness around mental health and I respect their efforts
:14:04. > :14:05.in that field. I think it is important work and they are good
:14:06. > :14:12.representatives for that conversation. If you step down from
:14:13. > :14:16.the royal role, you would lose the financial support, you would have to
:14:17. > :14:22.walk away from quite a lot of privilege. You would, you would have
:14:23. > :14:27.to live by your own means. Clearly he is quite intelligent young man. I
:14:28. > :14:35.am not entirely convinced by this argument, I have to say. Do you
:14:36. > :14:40.think years lying? Are you calling the Prince a liar? It's easy to say
:14:41. > :14:47.without necessarily going through it. We may talk about this again at
:14:48. > :14:49.1130. It depends what Rachel decides we are going to talk about with you.
:14:50. > :15:00.We will be back at 11.30 for another look at the stories
