Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
With me are political commentator James Millar, | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
Tomorrow's front pages: The FT says a City of London delegation | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
will head to Brussels this week to press for | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
The Express leads with the crisis talks between EU officials over | :00:37. | :00:48. | |
a surge in the number of migrants trying to reach Europe. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
The Telegraph claims the Chancellor Philip Hammond | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
is at odds with other senior ministers over the funding | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
The Metro says nurses are quitting the NHS in their thousands, | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
amid increasing workloads and plunging morale. | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
The Guardian claims the UK has ditched its hope of securing a "cake | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
and eat it" Brexit deal, and also shows Andy Murray | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
practising ahead of beginning the defence of his Wimbledon title | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
The Mail says young drivers are being tempted into high levels | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
of debt by car dealers offering them new vehicles for no money upfront. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
And the Mirror says 69 refugees have drowned this year while trying | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
Let's have a look through those papers. Starting with the Guardian, | :01:27. | :01:57. | |
the UK ditches its cake and eat it Brexit stands. Going on about Brexit | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
and cake, and you despair sometimes as to how this will all turn out but | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
according to the Guardian government insiders are reporting a dramatic | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
change of mood. The idea of cake and eat it is controlling your own | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
borders and the sort of stuff and having access to the single market. | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
And the suggestion is you cannot, and it is going to be difficult and | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
messy. One year on, I think they are owning up to that. The media has | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
gone from denial, centred on Theresa May saying you can have your cake | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
and eat it, and now we are into bargaining, which is what side do | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
you want. Hopefully we can skip the anger and depression but really what | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
you have this two options, high access and low control, which is | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
like the EA, and the other is higher access with economic cost. This has | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
been the dilemma since the beginning, it was the dilemma during | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
the referendum, of if we leave the EU what kind of deal do we want? The | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
fact it has taken a year for the government to at least acknowledged | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
it is not particularly encouraging, although at least they are | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
acknowledging it now. It is one of the oldest things there is, that you | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
can't have your cake and eat it. This is the sort of headline you | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
would expect from the Guardian. One thing I would suggest is it is all | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
insiders, and I'm issuing its fairly well sourced for them to have it on | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
the front like that. It is all doom and gloom. In the sun, we are going | :03:37. | :03:45. | |
inside 2-page two. The PM must go in June 20 19. You think she will last | :03:46. | :03:56. | |
that long? What is interesting about this is they want her to start her | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
departure timetable and say that she will leave on time, after the Brexit | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
deal but before the 2020 to general election. If anyone thinks that we | :04:07. | :04:15. | |
can get to 2022 without a general election I have a bridge to sell | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
them. The Tory party does not want Theresa May as leader, they will not | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
forgive her for the election result, but as we discussed on this | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
programme before there is not another leader in the wings, and | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
clearly the Tory party shadowy figures who make all the decisions | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
think it would do more damage to replace her now without a leader. | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
There was talk yesterday, when we heard from this former aide to David | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
Davis saying that he was hamstrung, and there was talk that maybe David | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
Davis is placing himself, maybe, or Philip Hammond, maybe. There is no | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
alternative, but there is no shortage of ready exclusively men | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
who think they can do the job, but no one actually wants them. If she | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
said she was going in June 2019, the idea that these gigantic egos would | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
sit on their hands and say the leadership campaign starts in 2019, | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
that is just for the birds. They would be all over each other and the | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
party for the next two years, trying to jockey for position. Is quite | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
contradictory, really. Senior Tories want her to spell out her departure | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
timetable, exactly what you just said. If she spells out the | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
timetable now, there is zero chance of her or anyone else getting | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
anything done for the next two years but if we were in any doubt that the | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
Tory party was not happy with her, this would clarify things. Which | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
means perhaps that Jeremy Corbyn is very secure. He can put his troubles | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
to one side. His position as leader is more secure now following the | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
election. Certainly his position is more secure than Theresa May's. Even | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
though he lost the election, somehow. But obviously last week we | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
had the Queen 's speech stuff, and where Labour exactly sits on the EU | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
and what their policy really is, he is back in Parliament, he had a | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
pretty torrid time when he was leaving with his MPs before the | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
election, and I suspect we will slide back into Labour chaos as | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
well. I don't think it will take particularly long, I think the | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
divide is on the EU will come to the forefront very soon. We have 49 MPs | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
vote against what the party MPs were telling them to do, he sacked some | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
of his frontbenchers, some resigned. Those issues have not gone away and | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
as soon as he makes a mistake I think they are waiting to try and | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
oust him. Good luck. Let's turn to the Times, and Theresa May began on | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
the front page. This time her terror plans are being condemned. It is | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
this never-ending chipping away at her authority. Yes, exactly. It is a | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
different angle. In some ways a better angle, because the Guardian | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
stories are essentially tittle tattle and sources. This is her | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
independent reviewer of counterterrorism legislation | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
suggesting that the idea that you have to find Facebook and Google for | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
not taking down extremist content is both unnecessary and unworkable -- | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
fine. And it is her own watchdog, as well. That is what is really | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
damaging about it, is that this is kind of the centre of her anti- | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
extremism or counterterrorism proposals, and she has got her own | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
watchdog criticising her for it. I think what you have got here, and | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
you also have it in those comments that Amber Rudd made a while back | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
about encryption, is that the people in government don't necessarily | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
understand the technology, and they want policies, obviously they want | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
to keep us safe, and they want policies which look like that is | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
what they are doing, but if they don't understand the technology they | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
don't have a hope of doing anything remotely workable. And obviously the | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
Home Office is her stomping ground. It is very much a home Office | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
mentality, isn't it? Staying with the times, and the top of the page. | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
Britain braced for a snap Trump visit after attack goes viral. | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
President Trump may drop in and visit reason. He has a gap in his | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
diary between the G20 Summit and his next engagement, a lovely way of | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
introducing a story. Basically if he is going to come to the UK, he is | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
not going to meet the Queen, he is going to meet Theresa May, he is | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
going to visit his golf course, so that is his priority, and you get a | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
sense that the reason it will be so short notice, 24 hours' notice, is | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
because his people don't want time for there to be a protest. I mean, | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
good luck with that in Scotland. You can organise protests pretty | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
quickly. You also worry it is because he has no idea what he is | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
going to do next. That he might say I am going to go to Scotland and | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
play golf. I like the fact that they call it a snap Trump visit, because | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
the snap election went so well. So the end of this week, possibly? It | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
is before he goes to Bastille Day, after the G20, before July finishes. | :09:24. | :09:35. | |
Looking at the express and the Mirror, and it is migrants | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
dominating their front pages. We have the EU in crisis over boat | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
migrants, and migrants on cost at beaches. Two very different | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
approaches to the same story. It is largely a story because the weather | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
has improved, leading to more attempts to get across the | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
Mediterranean. But whereas the Express claims that Europe is under | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
siege from these migrants, which is just ridiculous, because these | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
people are in no condition to besiege anything, the Mirror calls | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
it an avalanche, which is a sort of natural occurrence. It is a very | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
interesting exercise in different ways of approaching the same story. | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
You have the Mirror referring to it as tragic, as hell. The weight... I | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
looked at the story on the inside pages and it talks about children | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
who have died, profiling some of them, and it talks about the | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
tourists who are on these beaches, and their take on the grief and the | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
tragedy that they are seeing could not be more different to the Express | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
story, which is all quotes from mainly UKIP representatives or | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
former UKIP representatives, talking about how this shows that the EU | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
needs to reform its migration and asylum policy, which maybe it does, | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
but they are really using that story as a way in to criticise the EU. | :11:03. | :11:12. | |
Let's turn to the Mail. This story has been building over the last few | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
months in the papers. It is par loans. It is an interesting one. It | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
is a consumer sort of story, it works for Daily Mail readers, people | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
like your normal people who have cars, and it ticks a lot of boxes. | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
In this country we have politicians, journalists and bankers who are all | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
a bit dodgy, and they are going for car salesman. Because there is no | :11:44. | :11:56. | |
one more dodgy than a car salesman. Sitting in his lime green armchair, | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
like that is the worst thing they have. But there is something serious | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
because from what they are reporting, young people are walking | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
in off the street without an apparent income and being offered | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
loans of thousands of pounds, and it kind of snacks of the financial | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
crisis, and a sort of pyramid scheme. It just sounds | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
unsustainable. Lee Mack and they do make that point that this is | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
consumer debt again, people who clearly don't have the means to pay. | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
Sometimes who are themselves in credit card debt, being encouraged | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
to take on loans that they can't afford to pay back. Because there | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
are so many stages in between the people who hold the debt and the | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
people who are taking about that it seems so removed that it seems a | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
really good idea and there is definitely the sense, reading the | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
story, but this is something that could blow up very badly. It is | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
being being compared to the sub-prime mortgage crisis. Let's go | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
back to the Guardian, and we are talking Wimbledon. Stroppy Zen | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
cream. Two different players on that page -- strawberries and cream. The | :13:09. | :13:20. | |
Daily Mail and the Telegraph have gone with a pretty young lady, well | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
done, she has got into Wimbledon, and I wish her the best. But there | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
might be something behind it. They have gone for a full-length shot | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
whereas the Guardian picture of Andy Murray is Andy Murray looking | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
aggressive and actually playing tennis rather than looking all | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
demure. I can see why you you pass that one over. I agree, it would be | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
great if she was playing or if they had a picture of Johanna Konta, our | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
actual hope of winning the women's title. Again, best of luck to the | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
wild card. She will love the fact that she is on the front page of the | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
Daily Telegraph. Would she? All would she rather be on it for | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
winning a match and playing tennis, rather than being a pretty young | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
lady? Yes, you need a favourite, really, don't you? One I hope she | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
wins tomorrow, and I hope she is on the front page on Tuesday. And I | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
will be watching Andy Murray very closely. The women's title is also | :14:29. | :14:37. | |
wide open at the moment, because Serena Williams is pregnant, Maria | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
Sharapova can't play at the moment for a variety of reasons. Will it be | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
another Venus Williams, you have federate, you have Andy Murray, you | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
have Nadal, you have Djokovic Tom are all playing in the men's game, | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
and the women's game is wide open. Johanna Konta all the way. | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
Coming up next, it is The Film Review. | :15:02. | :15:04. |
