:00:20. > :00:25.Welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us
:00:26. > :00:29.tomorrow. With me randy Ramage, the Guardian's chief leading writer, and
:00:30. > :00:44.the Spectator's political correspondent, Katie.
:00:45. > :00:52.The daily Mirror leads on the news that British Gas is putting up
:00:53. > :00:55.electricity prices by 12.5%, even though its boss admitted wholesale
:00:56. > :00:59.costs have fallen. The Daily Telegraph focuses on what the paper
:01:00. > :01:03.calls a row between the government and British Gas over the cost of
:01:04. > :01:08.green energy subsidies. The Times claims Jeremy Corbyn is under
:01:09. > :01:12.pressure from Labour MPs to condemn President Maduro's violent regime in
:01:13. > :01:17.Venezuela. The Guardian has details of a number of tycoons who have been
:01:18. > :01:22.revealed as the owners of more than 1600 empty properties in the London
:01:23. > :01:27.borough whether Grenfell Tower fire residents are still without homes.
:01:28. > :01:30.Long queues at some European airports, British tourists are
:01:31. > :01:36.queueing up to four hours because of the botched introduction of EU
:01:37. > :01:39.border checks. The sun says the BBC is facing accusations that the new
:01:40. > :01:57.Mary Berry show is just a great British take-off copy -- Great
:01:58. > :02:03.British Bake Off copy. The 12.5% rise at British Gas. This story in
:02:04. > :02:10.the Daily Mirror focuses on the boss. This is from a man who admits
:02:11. > :02:19.electricity costs have gone down but he will put prices up for 3 million
:02:20. > :02:23.people. There is outrage. And it is probably justified, given people are
:02:24. > :02:27.finding themselves with their wages stagnating and prices going up. And
:02:28. > :02:33.it is a big rise, you will notice 12.5%. Yes. Their justification is
:02:34. > :02:38.that the costs have gone up, including, they would say, some of
:02:39. > :02:42.the green stuff, put on by the government. They are blaming the
:02:43. > :02:46.government's Green levy and their policies. The government have tried
:02:47. > :02:49.to distance themselves from that. It isn't a great look for the
:02:50. > :02:55.government. One of the things to May promised was a cap on energy prices.
:02:56. > :02:59.But as with much of the doomed manifesto, it has been dumped.
:03:00. > :03:03.People thought this would be protected but it hasn't been. The
:03:04. > :03:07.just about managing she has talked a lot about, not much help for them.
:03:08. > :03:10.We were told you could switch to another supplier but it doesn't
:03:11. > :03:17.always work. It doesn't often. And those are often the most poor and
:03:18. > :03:22.the most vulnerable. British Gas are putting out a rebate for its poorest
:03:23. > :03:28.customers. But this, I think the rise is just too fast. It is four
:03:29. > :03:32.times inflation. It is too big at a time when people are struggling to
:03:33. > :03:37.pay the essentials, whether that is water, gas, electricity, they are
:03:38. > :03:41.going up faster than anybody's wages and that is where the problem lies
:03:42. > :03:46.for the government. British Gas say they are the last of the company 's
:03:47. > :03:51.to do this. It just seems that if you switch it off. Make any
:03:52. > :03:59.difference. It sparks everybody else off to put up their prices. Exactly.
:04:00. > :04:05.Let's move on to the Daily Telegraph. Priti Patel, the
:04:06. > :04:11.International Development Secretary, demanding restraint on civil service
:04:12. > :04:17.pay. Talking about the crazy salaries, saying it isn't in step.
:04:18. > :04:22.It is about public sector pay, about people struggling, their wages not
:04:23. > :04:27.going up. Now she has said that now it's time for restraint. It bothers
:04:28. > :04:31.me. Out of step with public opinion. Public opinion on something like
:04:32. > :04:35.hanging is bad. If you went with everything in public opinion you
:04:36. > :04:40.would not be in office. You way up reasoned argument and make a
:04:41. > :04:46.decision. This does not sit very well with somebody like me. As for
:04:47. > :04:50.the salaries, ?300,000, I mean, the boss of British Gas gets ?4 million.
:04:51. > :04:54.If we are talking salaries then people get more angry about the
:04:55. > :04:58.British Gas man than they would about someone they've never heard of
:04:59. > :05:03.it was probably dealing with a mountain of paperwork caused by
:05:04. > :05:09.Brexit. It is a lot of money. ?150,000 is a lot of money, given
:05:10. > :05:13.the average salary. A teacher, a nurse, lots of others will be
:05:14. > :05:18.thinking, hang on, this is not fair. There is so much about the public
:05:19. > :05:22.sector pay cap. This might be part of the government's tactic. They
:05:23. > :05:28.won't let the whole thing. You might see certain sectors being lifted,
:05:29. > :05:33.such as nurses. This might be laying the groundwork. Or it could be Priti
:05:34. > :05:36.Patel trying to deflect attention from the foreign aid Budget, which a
:05:37. > :05:45.lot of people think is a waste of money. Will they left it? Each pay
:05:46. > :05:56.body gives its own version. They can pick and choose. They can go with
:05:57. > :06:10.public opinion. Let's move on to the times. The story about Uber. Do you
:06:11. > :06:15.use it? Yes, and I have paid the surge before. What is it?
:06:16. > :06:20.Particularly on a Saturday night, you go on your phone can you try to
:06:21. > :06:23.get one, it says there is a surcharge, so you have to pay more
:06:24. > :06:28.than you normally would. That means it is busy. The paper is claiming
:06:29. > :06:33.that the drivers have been colluding with each other to gather in areas
:06:34. > :06:39.and switch off. Then when the surge goes up, they go and pick up. I
:06:40. > :06:46.admire the entrepreneurial spirit here. Maybe it is good that people
:06:47. > :06:52.without a stable contract do something like this. Do you think it
:06:53. > :06:57.is a good idea? I don't use it. How come? I cannot use my iPhone. Maybe
:06:58. > :07:04.you should use it because it seems these guys can play the system
:07:05. > :07:10.better than Uber can. I suppose it is something they would do. If you
:07:11. > :07:14.are being rinsed by the company you might want to do it back. There has
:07:15. > :07:20.been a lot of protest about their pay and conditions. Uber Dom have
:07:21. > :07:28.said that it was based on drivers who were in many cases untrue. --
:07:29. > :07:34.Uber have said. Patients living in the same street
:07:35. > :07:37.getting different NHS care. This is about GP surgeries. We have heard so
:07:38. > :07:41.much about not getting enough appointments and all the rest. They
:07:42. > :07:44.are saying you can have a different experience even if you are in the
:07:45. > :07:50.same postcode. I must admit this is an old story made new. Are we in
:07:51. > :07:56.August yet? It postcode lottery story. You live in the same street,
:07:57. > :07:59.you go to a different GP. Because budgets are controlled by different
:08:00. > :08:01.bodies, different clinical commissioning groups, they will
:08:02. > :08:08.offer different levels of care. It's obvious. You have to find somebody
:08:09. > :08:15.on the board of a local authority -- on the board of a local authority.
:08:16. > :08:22.Two bodies would offer different services. That is part of the model.
:08:23. > :08:30.It's true. But it is an oddity of the system where you -- if you
:08:31. > :08:35.happen to live on a border. It is a good story but a whipped up story.
:08:36. > :08:41.Your newspaper, the Guardian, which would never have a whipped up story.
:08:42. > :08:44.Never. This is about tycoons and empty homes. A solid piece of
:08:45. > :08:48.journalism which came out because there was a freedom of information
:08:49. > :08:52.request everybody got. Did a straight story about how many empty
:08:53. > :09:01.homes there were in the Kensington area. That was where -- that is
:09:02. > :09:11.where the Grenfell Tower is. There was a much more juicy story about
:09:12. > :09:20.Russian oligarchs and Sheiks an TV executives having empty homes in the
:09:21. > :09:26.area. It is a good story. Does that go along with Jeremy Corbyn's idea
:09:27. > :09:31.that people don't have housing and they seize these properties. Will
:09:32. > :09:36.that happen? It is difficult in practice. What this story does is
:09:37. > :09:40.placed into a narrative of us versus them. The idea that these people are
:09:41. > :09:44.so far removed and it's so unfair. When you see the names you think, do
:09:45. > :09:49.they need a home they are not going to use? When lots of the Grenfell
:09:50. > :09:56.Tower survivors still haven't been rehoused or they have rejected their
:09:57. > :10:00.offers, it just puts more pressure on the council to sort it out. It
:10:01. > :10:05.was a huge story. Still being covered. Are there any updates on
:10:06. > :10:11.how many residents are still without properties? I think there are 150
:10:12. > :10:17.resident families. 46 were made offers. Very few accepted. It is to
:10:18. > :10:20.do with the quality of accommodation. I think they are in
:10:21. > :10:24.temporary accommodation at the moment. It is the kind of, do they
:10:25. > :10:29.want to move out of the area question. It hasn't been handled
:10:30. > :10:32.well by the council. Which is why they have relinquished their
:10:33. > :10:37.responsibility to do with it. But it is a difficult time for anybody to
:10:38. > :10:40.live through all of that. Let's move on to the Financial Times. The
:10:41. > :10:46.Eurozone growth accelerate after populist electoral threat receipts.
:10:47. > :10:54.We are not sure if it is an acceleration. In August
:10:55. > :10:59.acceleration. The Eurozone expansion is at 2.1%. Britain is at just 2%.
:11:00. > :11:04.It is a tiny advance. Somebody said there is increasing evidence of a
:11:05. > :11:15.diversion. That makes the headlines real. The populist threat has
:11:16. > :11:20.receded. Le Pen, all of these guys did not break through. But we still
:11:21. > :11:25.have Poland and Hungary unwinding the constitutional protections in
:11:26. > :11:30.Europe. It probably hasn't reseeded entirely. Are they trying to make
:11:31. > :11:34.this into a Brexit story? I think there is an undercurrent. At the
:11:35. > :11:40.same time these are just figures. The growth has gone from 0.5 to 0.6.
:11:41. > :11:47.Obviously good for the Eurozone. But we can't really read too much into
:11:48. > :11:52.that. Absolutely. Metro, the kind of picture you do not want to see
:11:53. > :11:56.before going off on holiday. Are you off to a European airport any time
:11:57. > :11:59.soon? You might be in trouble. British tourist jetting to the
:12:00. > :12:07.continent are facing queues of up to four hours. Airport hell for the
:12:08. > :12:11.Brits. What you make of it? It's terrible because I am going to
:12:12. > :12:18.somewhere in Europe later this month. They have tightened up the
:12:19. > :12:22.Schengen area checks because of attacks. And there was a plain
:12:23. > :12:30.breakdown. Those two things meant there were very long queues. --
:12:31. > :12:33.aeroplane breakdown. New controls have been brought in. Sounds like
:12:34. > :12:38.they did not have enough staff to deal with it. It was a busy weekend.
:12:39. > :12:41.Not really to do with Brexit. But because we are not in the Schengen
:12:42. > :12:47.free movement area, it does mean that the Brits are being hit by
:12:48. > :12:51.this, I guess. It looks like you will get the queues regardless of
:12:52. > :12:57.being in or out. I'm just glad my next holiday is in Britain. I will
:12:58. > :13:05.avoid this. Very sensible. Let's move on to the story of the day.
:13:06. > :13:11.Great British ripped off in the sun newspaper. BBC bosses are facing
:13:12. > :13:23.accusations that their new Mary Berry cooking show is just a copy of
:13:24. > :13:29.the Great Baking Bake Off. -- Great British Bake Off. Obviously it has
:13:30. > :13:36.gone to Channel 4 and the BBC has a new cooking programme. Do you watch
:13:37. > :13:43.it? I don't. I am happy that Mary Berry will be back on TV. She is a
:13:44. > :13:46.bit of a national treasure. For ?75 million? I think Channel 4 probably
:13:47. > :13:53.have a reason to be slightly worried. There has been a comment
:13:54. > :14:00.from the BBC press office. They have been swift in their response. They
:14:01. > :14:03.have said that it is not -- they have said that they are different
:14:04. > :14:12.shows as those watching Wilsey. Great. It is technically true. --
:14:13. > :14:16.those watching will see. No matter how much you spend on a format, you
:14:17. > :14:21.cannot stop Mary Berry appearing on the BBC. They have said that there
:14:22. > :14:25.might be some baking in the BBC series. I don't think you can own
:14:26. > :14:29.the concept of baking. If they get the whole cast they might have
:14:30. > :14:38.trouble. If it is just Mary they will probably be safe. She won't be
:14:39. > :14:45.doing something like the Krypton Factor. There will be other TV
:14:46. > :14:50.programmes. Thank you very much indeed for all of that. Don't
:14:51. > :14:59.forget, you can see the front pages of the newspapers online on the BBC
:15:00. > :15:01.website. Thank you to my guests. We will see you all on another day.
:15:02. > :15:02.Thank you very much for
