0:00:01 > 0:00:09if not impossible, in the worst-affected areas.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
0:00:21 > 0:00:22bringing us tomorrow.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25With me are Jason Beattie, Head of Politics at the Daily Mirror
0:00:25 > 0:00:27and Tim Stanley from the Daily Telegraph.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Tomorrow's front pages.
0:00:31 > 0:00:37Thank you for coming in. Thank you for staying.I have nowhere else to
0:00:37 > 0:00:47go.We do have two Barbie doll. -- bar the door. The front pages...
0:00:47 > 0:00:49And it's Saturday Knight Fever for the Daily Mirror,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53which focusing on Bee Gee Barry Gibb becoming a 'Sir' in the New Year
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Honours List.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56While it's the ballerina turned Strictly Come Dancing judge
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Darcy Bussell picked by the Daily Telegraph
0:00:58 > 0:01:00to grace its front page.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02She's been made a Dame in the Honour's List.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04The paper's main story is about conflicting advice given
0:01:05 > 0:01:08to drivers about whether or not they can use Satnav apps
0:01:08 > 0:01:09on their mobile phones.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12The Daily Mail has both Barry Gibb and Darcy Bussell on its front page,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15but its main report is that banks have shut 800 branches
0:01:15 > 0:01:17across the country this year.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19The Times headlines that travel firms are misleading holidaymakers
0:01:19 > 0:01:22with claims of cheap deals, which the paper reports are not
0:01:22 > 0:01:24as good a discount as the marketing suggests.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26The weekend edition of the Financial Times leads
0:01:27 > 0:01:29on the rallying of stock markets around the globe,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32reporting that the FTSE All World Index has seen its biggest
0:01:32 > 0:01:37increase since 2009.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41We begin with the new Year Honours, which have only been released
0:01:41 > 0:01:46officially in the last hour or so. We have been speaking to some of the
0:01:46 > 0:01:51happy recipients. The Daily Mirror has Saturday night Fever, because
0:01:51 > 0:01:58Barry Gibb is getting a knighthood perhaps with others who are long
0:01:58 > 0:02:05overdue. Why are you laughing?I only just noticed the pun.It is a
0:02:05 > 0:02:14tragedy.LAUGHTER. It is so lovely to drag you into
0:02:14 > 0:02:222018. Anyway, a marvellous picture you have picked on the front. Also,
0:02:22 > 0:02:28Darcey Bussell, she is on the Guardian, looking completely
0:02:28 > 0:02:32magnificent when she were still dancing, of course, she is maybe not
0:02:32 > 0:02:37so well-known to a loss of people until she became a judge on
0:02:37 > 0:02:43Stickley. And you have an of that. It is not even a Bee Gees song. My
0:02:43 > 0:02:51gags are off as well.You are all over the place.Keeping with the
0:02:51 > 0:02:56honours system, I think, conceptually, on the one hand it has
0:02:56 > 0:03:01become more meritocratic since the 1960s, there is a certain element of
0:03:01 > 0:03:09celebrity culture entered into it. On the other hand, because of the E
0:03:09 > 0:03:14on the end of it, it feels a bit old world. Which I like. Culturally,
0:03:14 > 0:03:18something is starting to Jahr about the two things. Some people, when
0:03:18 > 0:03:23they do feel resentment, certain people are getting awards, I think
0:03:23 > 0:03:29that has to do with it. Our focus is upon the famous people, Ringo Starr,
0:03:29 > 0:03:36Jillie Cooper, but lots and lots of people who are not well known we'll
0:03:36 > 0:03:45get it to their working charity.And you prefer that.You are trying to
0:03:45 > 0:03:52get a controversy out of me.I am not.Some people don't deserve it. I
0:03:52 > 0:03:55thought about it and that was a bit mean-spirited. There are lots of
0:03:55 > 0:04:02elements of celebrities like you aware of. Jillie Cooper writes a
0:04:02 > 0:04:05racy, saucy books which my mum rates, but on the other hand she
0:04:05 > 0:04:09also is very good on animal rights and welfare and she probably
0:04:09 > 0:04:16deserves in a word -- and what about. -- an award for that. Come
0:04:16 > 0:04:22back to me in 12 minutes and I will have a witty Bee Gees pardon.Will
0:04:22 > 0:04:27you keep taking part in the paper review while you do it. Maybe it
0:04:27 > 0:04:31will be down to you. Thank goodness you are here.We will talk about the
0:04:31 > 0:04:40papers a bit more. I have a slight issue about who gets honours and who
0:04:40 > 0:04:43doesn't. It is very much behind closed doors. A loss of interference
0:04:43 > 0:04:49goes on. They get handed out to MPs. Nick Clegg gets one.He was Deputy
0:04:49 > 0:04:56Prime Minister.He also misled people over tuition fees.And he
0:04:56 > 0:05:04didn't, he was in coalition.He said he would not and he did. What does
0:05:04 > 0:05:08it mean about trust in politics when they come out the other side and get
0:05:08 > 0:05:12this automatic gong? It mars it for those deserving winners.It is
0:05:12 > 0:05:18always a subjective judgement. It is based upon a slightly invisible
0:05:18 > 0:05:26system of suggestion and nomination. And some favours and be cronies.How
0:05:26 > 0:05:34should it be done?There is tension between it being a monarchical
0:05:34 > 0:05:39institution and on the other hand Democratic, if you did it completely
0:05:39 > 0:05:43openly, a completely different set of people would get the awards, but
0:05:43 > 0:05:46it would lose some of that connection with charity. You might
0:05:46 > 0:05:51see people getting awards to a different group of people find
0:05:51 > 0:05:58objectionable.Should it be a public vote?That is terrible. Sometimes
0:05:58 > 0:06:05the wrong people when it.But only in your opinion.Many people get it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09I lot of people who should be awarded but who were not well known
0:06:09 > 0:06:15for what they do or who are shy and would not want to talk about it...
0:06:15 > 0:06:22Do you think tax a club like Ringo Starr should get one.You presume
0:06:22 > 0:06:29that I know anything.You assume I know who Ringo Starr is.There was
0:06:29 > 0:06:39this bad in the 1960s. He banged things.Was he the walrus
0:06:39 > 0:06:40this bad in the 1960s. He banged things.Was he the walrus?Shall we
0:06:40 > 0:06:50move on? Adonis quits calling Theresa May be voice of UKIP. This
0:06:50 > 0:06:56is Lord Adonis. By sharing the infrastructure -- tearing the
0:06:56 > 0:07:02infrastructure commission, he served as a Labour transport Secretary
0:07:02 > 0:07:08stability for that he was a LibDem and before that a journalist. He
0:07:08 > 0:07:16said that his views have not changed. He said that the party he
0:07:16 > 0:07:21could express those views within, they moved.This is where he is
0:07:21 > 0:07:25damaging Theresa May because he is seen as being on the right of the
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Labour Party and he cannot work with the Conservative government. The
0:07:28 > 0:07:32impression is that they have moved even further from the centre ground.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35I am not surprised by his Thai raid against Brexit. He was a well-known
0:07:35 > 0:07:53Remainer. -- tirade. They bailed out a private company who bid money to
0:07:53 > 0:07:57run the East Coast Main Line and taxpayers as a result have been
0:07:57 > 0:08:01pulling out of the contract and could lose up to £2 million. That is
0:08:01 > 0:08:07quite substantial.He also talks about the fact that there is no
0:08:07 > 0:08:10capacity within the government to deal with anything other than
0:08:10 > 0:08:16Brexit. Other important decisions are not being made properly. Is that
0:08:16 > 0:08:20they are so preoccupied with Brexit that it is why things like this
0:08:20 > 0:08:26bailout has been allowed to happen. That was made by Anna Melbourne, the
0:08:26 > 0:08:35accusation. The same charge he said the government did not happy wit to
0:08:35 > 0:08:41do so -- did not happy. There is a slight contradiction in the
0:08:41 > 0:08:43resignation letter, an extraordinary document and well worth a read. On
0:08:43 > 0:08:47the one hand you might interpreted generously and say he feels that the
0:08:47 > 0:08:51progress of the EU withdrawl Bill and the government's ridiculous
0:08:51 > 0:08:57Ansan Brexit negotiations means that a point has been reached that he
0:08:57 > 0:09:06cannot ignore it does make the Govan's Brexit negotiations.Not in
0:09:06 > 0:09:13the Times.It is not a surprise from him. This government committed
0:09:13 > 0:09:19itself to leaving the EU. It will leave many people saying you are
0:09:19 > 0:09:26asking for a new term in government. We should acknowledge and we are
0:09:26 > 0:09:29getting there, it is being acknowledged that Brexit is simply
0:09:29 > 0:09:33so big it dominates both foreign policy and parliamentary time, that
0:09:33 > 0:09:37we have to be honest and say traditional battles of the left and
0:09:37 > 0:09:41right and some traditional goals of government have to be slightly
0:09:41 > 0:09:47parked until we have this done. It is too big.How will it happen? I
0:09:47 > 0:09:52was talking to an advisor that Wippa David Cameron. He said that when he
0:09:52 > 0:09:55was negotiating his minor concessions from the EU and head of
0:09:55 > 0:10:01calling for a referendum, he said it took up all of Downing Street's
0:10:01 > 0:10:05energy -- ahead of. If it were Theresa May is trying to do now is
0:10:05 > 0:10:09that to the power of 1000. So basically all business is stalled.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13The amount of legislation going through Parliament is at its lowest
0:10:13 > 0:10:22for decades. They have fallen by about half in the last year. There
0:10:22 > 0:10:26is no business going on. The worry about this is that it is a massive
0:10:26 > 0:10:31endeavour, but the stuff that needs doing, schools need reforming,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35hospitals need sorting, the country is worse off as a result of it.I
0:10:35 > 0:10:39might add that concessions are not just being made in terms of time,
0:10:39 > 0:10:43but from a Conservative point of view in terms of the as well. There
0:10:43 > 0:10:47are key conservative reforms and aspects that are simply being
0:10:47 > 0:10:50dropped because they know they are controversial, they will not get
0:10:50 > 0:10:53through Parliament because of the arithmetic, and they would rather
0:10:53 > 0:10:59focus on Brexit.Shall we look at the Financial Times. Bless the RB
0:10:59 > 0:11:05millennials, they will inherit double what their parents did --
0:11:05 > 0:11:09blessed are the millennials. They can't afford a house, but when their
0:11:09 > 0:11:13parents are no longer here they will inherit a loss of money.The amount
0:11:13 > 0:11:17of money passed on by inherited each year has doubled over the past two
0:11:17 > 0:11:21decades. It will more than double again of the next 20 years as well
0:11:21 > 0:11:24when the baby boomers die. Right now the economy is back. People of my
0:11:24 > 0:11:28generation may not be making a great deal of money and saving almost
0:11:28 > 0:11:36nothing, but...We only get £10 from...Stock, you will get the
0:11:36 > 0:11:41sacked again. But because our parents got lucky and bought
0:11:41 > 0:11:44property, the inheritance, because the value of the property has gone
0:11:44 > 0:11:49up so much, we will, in theory, cash in. It is an interesting theory but
0:11:49 > 0:11:53I would dispute. Let us not forget that mummight be worth quite a lot
0:11:53 > 0:11:58of money, but as a consequence, related to that, every house around
0:11:58 > 0:12:03her is worth quite a lot of money -- mamma's house. I would probably have
0:12:03 > 0:12:08to get something smaller.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11What frustrates
0:12:11 > 0:12:11What frustrates me
0:12:11 > 0:12:13What frustrates me mildly is that
0:12:13 > 0:12:16What frustrates me mildly is that these are FT reading millennials. A
0:12:16 > 0:12:21majority will not inherit from their parents. They are struggling to get
0:12:21 > 0:12:26on the housing ladder, particularly those on low incomes and struggling
0:12:26 > 0:12:32with high rent and the fact that a view in two generations time will be
0:12:32 > 0:12:41okayed...And inheritance tax?Also social care cost. Also, my point is
0:12:41 > 0:12:45I agree with you. This doesn't affect most people but even for
0:12:45 > 0:12:49those in the south-east who it does a fact, you are living in a part of
0:12:49 > 0:12:52the world where the cost of living is so high, things like
0:12:52 > 0:12:55transportation, not just rent and council tax and things like that
0:12:55 > 0:13:00that frankly anything on paper that looks like a big inheritance gets
0:13:00 > 0:13:06whittled down, which is one reason why many people, even normal labour
0:13:06 > 0:13:10supporters are against property taxes on the houses because on paper
0:13:10 > 0:13:14they may be rich but when it comes to their actual income they are
0:13:14 > 0:13:21really not.Shall we finish with banks on the Daily Mail? 800 bank
0:13:21 > 0:13:25branches shut in one year. Lots of different banks are choosing to do
0:13:25 > 0:13:32this. Because fewer and fewer people are going into branches.The problem
0:13:32 > 0:13:36is the people who use banks now, and these are the people affected by it
0:13:36 > 0:13:41are small-business owners who need to take their cash up money to the
0:13:41 > 0:13:47bank and the elderly, who dislike, plus Tim, who dislike modern
0:13:47 > 0:13:52gadgetry and are uncomfortable using an Apple phone to make financial
0:13:52 > 0:13:57transactions. A majority of us, particularly the younger generation
0:13:57 > 0:14:01but they only use their phone to do all the stuff they used to do when
0:14:01 > 0:14:07they had to queue in a long bank and talk to a dowdy fellow wearing beige
0:14:07 > 0:14:13and a comb over haircut.There is no need for that!I apologise to all
0:14:13 > 0:14:20bank tellers now.This is actually quite devastating, they are due to
0:14:20 > 0:14:24slash 60 of its outlet. We are talking a radical change at the
0:14:24 > 0:14:31high-street. Banks and post offices were are particularly Central part
0:14:31 > 0:14:36of a smalltown village life. It is true that a lot of us do stuff
0:14:36 > 0:14:42online, some of us slightly resent this feeling that because people in
0:14:42 > 0:14:46head office think they can save money by sacking everyone and moving
0:14:46 > 0:14:49stock offshore, I resent that my choice as a consumer at is being
0:14:49 > 0:14:55limited.The other sort of person who when the car came along would be
0:14:55 > 0:14:58known with a blacksmith. Change happens, it is uncomfortable and it
0:14:58 > 0:15:03is difficult. This is, you know, banks are closing because people are
0:15:03 > 0:15:07not walking into banks to use them and because you can do almost
0:15:07 > 0:15:12anything you want now online.It also means that if 100 branches have
0:15:12 > 0:15:17closed, thousands of people will lose their jobs.Of course! I
0:15:17 > 0:15:23disagree that all changes are part of cycles or revolution, it is a
0:15:23 > 0:15:30choice we make to move towards a human must work front, a consumer
0:15:30 > 0:15:36market will you don't interact.It is a choice of. Will you can go to
0:15:36 > 0:15:40post offices and Saint-Jerome parcel without having to interact. If you
0:15:40 > 0:15:50choose to.I don't approve of that, it is down to the consumers. -- post
0:15:50 > 0:15:54a pass. I do try to queue and avoid the self-service because I would
0:15:54 > 0:15:58rather a local supermarket or bank was employing a human being who
0:15:58 > 0:16:03speaks to me directly than to get everything from a machine.You
0:16:03 > 0:16:14promised us a punt on a Bee Gee's lyric. However we owe you a apology.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19So you win again was hot chocolate, if I cannot figure out why you can't
0:16:19 > 0:16:24give me that anything that everybody needs, I shouldn't let you keep me
0:16:24 > 0:16:30down like my baby. The Bee Gee's, you win again. You were almost
0:16:30 > 0:16:39right. Is that at depressing? You win again. Go on the. -- that.
0:16:39 > 0:16:45Televisions would chatter, dogs would howl.Next time. That is it.I
0:16:45 > 0:16:53would pay you a cheque that.Jason, it Tim, everybody. Aren't we glad
0:16:53 > 0:17:05they came in? Coming up next, meet the author.
