10/07/2017 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

With me are the Spectator's political correspondent,

Katy Balls, and the broadcaster David Davies.

Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...

The Telegraph, which leads with a warning from the official

review body for teachers of risk to the education system

following an announcement that pay rises in the profession

On the Metro's front page is the Conservative party's

suspension of the MP, Anne Marie Morris, after a recording

emerged of her using a racially offensive term to describe Britain

The FT shows an image of the Russian lawyer who is reported to have met

with President Donald Trump's son, and who says has damaging material

Drinking coffee could lead to a healthier life says a story

The Guardian is accusing Theresa May of insulting teachers

The Times details how a Tory pledge to build more free schools

could be scrapped in order to boost education budgets.

The Daily Mail has the Charlie Gard story including a warning from the

judge that he will not be influenced by treats.

A headache for the MP involved but also afford to reason me because

she's had to suspend one of her own for using the n-word. Today at

lunchtime on their MP two was speaking at a panel and she use the

n-word. By Minister Mac responded within three hours. -- Theresa May

responded. She responded quickly. The problem is that her working

majority has now dropped by one person, because this MP will be

independent for the time being. It is important that she sent the

message that it was not acceptable, particularly as the Conservative

Party has been dogged with rumours that they are at the nasty party. It

is a phrase that might have been used by people from a certain

generation, but coming out the mouth of someone who is a member of the

Conservative Party in this day and age, frankly there was only one

thing that could happen to her and that is suspension from the party.

The member of Parliament for Newton Abbot has not gone across my horizon

very often during her seven years in the House of Commons. The truth is

that we live in the generation that we do. There is no argument that

this is unacceptable language in this generation, whatever the past.

Theresa May must be willing for a moment to go on a long walk with her

husband again to contemplate... What? It is virtually impossible to

believe there will be more years of this. In the mail on Sunday over the

weekend they said she should be gone. Regardless of what you think

of Andrea Mitchell of what should happen I don't think many people

think she will sit there indefinitely and it doesn't rain but

it pours. The story is an example of that. The length of the suspension

is key here when it comes to important votes coming up. Any idea

how long the suspension might be? We do not know yet but if it is very

short it will look meaningless. It will need to be substantial. Even if

this MP is independently could still vote with the government. It might

work like that. When Iraq if she is suspended she cannot vote. -- she

cannot vote when she is suspended. She can vote. The question is what

will happen in Newton Abbot. The reaction there will be interesting.

Very interesting. Page two of the sun, the Prime Minister was under

huge pressure last night to drop her hard Brexit line. Reality is

starting to dawn. I don't know. Here we have at last this two-year

deadline to get us out of the European Union and that is not going

to be met. Now we are being told that there may be a transitional

period and how long that may be, that is reality. It is just a case

of how long. Both sides have admitted there will be a

transitional period but the issue is Will there be a destination insight

or is it just because we have not come to a deal yet, which will not

be accepted by that strand of the party. Free schools are under threat

due to budgets. Bad news for teachers here because the 1% pay cap

seems set to stay with them. Free schools may not be expanded as was

promised. This is the David Cameron project launched under Michael Gove.

There will be a lot of Cabinet annoyance over this. I am a school

governor and believe me if you have a long enough memory to go back to

the 1980s, a Conservative government and Margaret Thatcher in number ten.

He was the Secretary of State for Education and education was up there

at the top of the political agenda. Here we are, the free schools are

under threat from budget raid. All the issues around education are

coming up to the top of the agenda and there are some tricky issues for

any government to face. Staying with the times, councils bet billions on

property purchases. An interesting story. British councils are betting

on commercial property as they tried to replace revenue loss through

government cuts. There is a quote that says councils might as well be

buying shares with public money or betting on the 230 and Scott. That

is the comparison that he makes. It is all a sign of the desperation.

The desperation of councils at this time and how they are going to find

the existing programmes that they have. It is difficult for a

councils. Funding is not keeping pace with inflation. They have to

find way of serving the people they are supposed to represent. It

highlights the problem is that the cuts to local government. Do you

think the government has gone too heavily? It is quite working because

if you read other stories on other days about what is happening to the

property market and house prices are falling there are concerns about the

future of local council funding. They are flocking about the bubble

expanding and popping at some point. You can argue that there is some

good news in the middle of this. The Chancellor has said that the filters

need to consider whether they are willing to accept higher taxes to

ease austerity and that is his fundamental point. That is the

choice any government would have to take. We will see what happens next.

This is about the lack of job security for delivery riders.

Talking about the report that is coming out tomorrow looking at the

working conditions and lack of workplace rights for people in the

gig economy. Theresa May might have or nations when it comes to job

security. Job grips seek lock on price limits. They are saying there

are limits on how much they will pay and others are saying this could be

quite dangerous for patients. You will not get the care that you would

get elsewhere. It raises a lot of questions about the funding of the

NHS, which is having a crisis at the moment. Though maybe drugs that

cannot be got on the National Health Service and that will bring this

debate into the central stage. The health service to vote saw me about

10% of its budget to medicine, law that many large health systems in

other developed countries. That surprised me. Where is the money

going? On other services. There is an interesting point about them

seeking to block this. Some in the drugs industry are split on this.

Glaxo Smith Kline said they were not supportive of the action and

AstraZeneca also said they had reservations. We will see where that

goes. On some sport now. I know you love sport. You particularly love

that Manchester United bought Lukaku. You prefer tennis. Rafael

Nadal is out. It is the first time that they will have a British man

and woman in the topic. I was not at Wimbledon today, I was there on

Friday. I was there last week and I saw Rafael Nadal and I thought he

was at the peak of his powers. He came back fantastically and then

this titanic 15-13 in the final set. He should have drank more coffee. We

need to leave it there because we are out of time. It was good to see

you both and thank you. Don't forget you can see the front

pages of the papers online It's all there for you - seven days

a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. And if you miss the programme any

evening, you can watch it Thank you, Katy Balls

and David Davies.
