04/11/2017 The Papers

humans are the dominant cause

of the global warming.

The White House has

downplayed the conclusions.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers

will be bringing us tomorrow.

With me are Nigel Nelson,

Political Editor at the Sunday

Mirror and Sunday People,

and political commentator,

Jo Phillips.

Tomorrow's front pages,

starting with:

The Sunday Express says a crackdown

on the subsidised drinking culture

in Parliament is to be launched,

in the wake of the

Westminster sex scandal.

The Sunday Telegraph says

Theresa May's aides

sat on allegations against

senior Conservatives.

The Observer reports

claims about Sir Michael Fallon,

who suddenly resigned

from cabinet last week.

The paper alleges that a female

journalist told Number 10

that he had tried to kiss her,

in 2003, after a lunch.

The Mail on Sunday leads

on allegations involving

the Tory whip, Chris Pincher.

The paper claims the Tamworth MP

made an unwanted sexual pass

at the former Olympic rower

and Conservative activist

Alex Story in 2001.

In a statement Mr Pincher said,

"If Mr Story has ever felt offended

by anything I said then I can only

apologise to him."

The Sunday Times details

allegations dating back

to 2008, that police found

pornography on the computer

of one of Theresa May's

closest allies,

Damian Green.

Mr Green categorically denies

the claims which he says

are unscrupulous and untrue.

So let's begin...

A lot to wade through and use of the

word advisedly.

A lot to wade through and use of the

word advisedly. Some serious some

less so but clearly a big issue. And

the Sunday Telegraph focusing on who

knew what and how much information

are we not hearing.

This is the

question that not only we are asking

and the newspapers but what is being

asked amongst MPs. The blips, who

run the vertical parties, they run

it through discipline and through

that discipline, they know people's

secrets. There has always been a

degree of suspicion about the amount

of power of the whips hold. A number

of questions about Gavin Barwell, at

cheap weep -- chief, who is now at

chief of staff and questions about

Gavin Williamson who has become

defence secretary, against a lot of

people 's... A lot of people 's

surprises. It is about who knew what

when and who did you go to complain

because if the people you complain

to use that knowledge is this not a

sensible system.

What do you make of

these?

Very similar to Joe. They

have to address the way whips

parade. There are allegations that

whips are hiding this and that there

may be other reasons for this. A

woman may complain and say I do not

want to take this any further. A lot

of the time the MPs do not know the

complaint is being made to the

whips. The whole system needs to be

cleaned up and one of the places

they will look at is exactly what

secrets the whips keep on how they

use them.

The Mail on Sunday has a

new story with claims Chris Pincher,

dating back some time.

Dating back

to the time before he was an MP were

he will be deeply had been described

of making approaches like Harvey

Weinstein. They had been at some

Tory party event with Mr Pincher who

was not an MP at the time. They went

out the drinks and dinner and went

back to his house and made unwonted

advances. Mr Pincher says, if Mr

Storey has felt offended, then I can

only apologise. The fact that a lot

of these allegations are historic

but what Mr Storey has said Anne

goes back to the first point we were

making, is that Mr Pincher is now a

government whip. That may lead to

someone else faced with a similar

predicament. That is at the nub of a

lot of this. You may be afraid to

say anything because it may damage

your career or you fear that nothing

will be done.

Much will difficult,

if you want to be an MP and it is a

very long process to go and do it

and on the basis of that, you will

be worried about getting a black

mark against you. That has stopped

an awful lot of people from doing

that.

While you are with us, the

Sunday at post taxes to Scotland.

The tentacles of this story are

going to spread.

I think that is

right. If you think about it

started, Harvey Weinstein and moves

out to a lot of other institutions.

This is the childcare Minister, Mark

McDonald, in Scotland, his quote on

the basis that he feels his

behaviour has not come up to

standard in the past. It shows that

it is moving elsewhere and in the

European Parliament, you have 30 odd

allegations that now of

inappropriate behaviour. They are

trying to sort out a whole new

safeguarding system over there,

similar to hear. I think every

institution is going to be hit here.

Mark McDonnell has put out a

statement saying some of my previous

actions have been considered to be

inappropriate where I believe myself

to be merely humourous or friendly.

My behaviour may have made others

uncomfortable and it is my

responsibility and I apologise

unreservedly to anyone I have upset

or may have found my behaviour

inappropriate. It is a sideline but

it will show people having

resignations with not so much

clarity. Someone has clearly felt

aggrieved and upset and we are going

to sit movement records of that.

Yes, we are going to sit movement

and also people resigning and people

saying, there is no smoke without

fire. This might have been a minor

incident but there are obviously

more skeletons in the Cabinet. But

we need some perspective. As with

all human relationships, and in a

working environment, a lot of it is

about nuance and some of that is

about what older people might accept

as gentlemanly, behaviour and other

people might find repugnant. The

feel so intimidated, apparently,

from a crass remark that she left

five years before she mentioned that

beggars belief. Where is the

example, she is the Leader of the

House and is going to be part of

this revamp so I want to say, why

did you not say something? I get

into that level in politics we have

to have sharp elbows and a sharp

tongue, and be able to call a spade

is vague, wouldn't you have said,

Michael, that is totally

inappropriate.

The same question as

to why powerful women in Hollywood

have not spoken up earlier.

That

takes us on to the Sunday express. I

will get both of your views. A

possible way to change the way

things are done and businesses run

in the comments.

Cheap bars, there

are several bars of their. It is

nothing like it used to be when I

worked in the comments were you

could pretty much drink around the

clock... And we did! Yes, we did.

Sitting outside with Charlie Kennedy

at three o'clock in the morning when

the votes were still going on. It

can change the culture to a certain

extent that you have people away

from home, you have drinks - less so

than in the past - but it does make

people behave in a different way and

in an inappropriate way. One of the

bars, where everybody can go, does

seem quite often to be at the centre

of these allegations.

One of the

bars your friend Andrea Leadsom is

talking about in the Sunday express,

closing bars like that and change

the amount of alcohol consumed. It

is already an awful lot less than it

used to be. And meals have water

rather than a bottle of wine with

them these days.

Damon Green,

Theresa May is deputy and new

allegations.

One of the most

important point to make about this

is that it has got nothing to do

with sexual harassment whatsoever.

What the Sunday Times as saying is

back in 2000 date, when Damian

Green's offices were raided by

police that some pornographic images

were found on computers there. There

is no suggestion they were anything

to do with him. He has made the

point that the material was actually

perfectly lawful. One of the

investigating officers said some of

it might have been extreme. That is

the extent of the story. There were

rumours today about the story

appearing and Damien would have to

resign by tomorrow but he will not

have to resign over a story like

this and it is at a time with every

thing else going on...

He says the

claim is untrue and he has been very

firm in his denial. But once

somebody is in people's sites... The

Observer especially Michael Fallon

and it brings us back to news from

last week the stop but it is the

trip, drip.

The journal is confirms

it was her and that it was Michael

Fallon that make a lunch at her at

large. He was 29 years old at the

time. She said she felt humiliated

and ashamed, did I led him on? Back

to the drinking culture in many

years ago again. Michael, according

to a friend of his, realises that

this kind of instant is unacceptable

and which is why he had to resign

but it comes back to this... The

impression was that it was a 1-off

incidents. And it is like oh, it is

Michael Beer Michael. Everybody had

had too much to drink but what she's

saying at this is where you get into

this tangled web of the news, what

could she have done? It is that sort

of empowerment. People will go, hang

on, chaps, this is not on.

Plenty

more to talk about on this subject

but tell us about this slightly more

quirky story...

Things are not what they used to be.

Nursery rhymes are going out of

fashion. Nursery rhymes are going

out of fashion and young people

today, they are doing Peppa Pig iPad

games etc. The argument is we need

to get nursery rhymes back in school

so we can make them better prepared

for school later on.

Look at the

cartoon. It will make you smile. In

the meantime, thank you to both of

you. That is all we have time for.
