0:00:15 > 0:00:18Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
0:00:19 > 0:00:20bringing us tomorrow.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22With me are Kate Andrews, News Editor at the Institute
0:00:22 > 0:00:24of Economic Affairs and Sebastian Payne, who's
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Political Leader Writer at the FT.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Many of tomorrow's front pages are already in.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29The Times says allies of the Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn
0:00:29 > 0:00:39are planning to get rid of 50 Labour MPs.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42The Telegraph - which leads with comments from
0:00:42 > 0:00:45the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson that the UK should welcome a visit
0:00:45 > 0:00:49from President Donald Trump.
0:00:49 > 0:00:56A poll in another newspaper suggests that we do not want that.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59The Sunday Express says that more than 100 Tory MPs will demand
0:00:59 > 0:01:02the Prime Minister end free movement and leave the single market as soon
0:01:02 > 0:01:09as we leave the EU in March 2019.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12The Mail on Sunday leads with a plot to target three ex-conservative
0:01:12 > 0:01:14cabinet ministers in - what the paper calls -
0:01:14 > 0:01:17"a cash for Brexit scandal".
0:01:17 > 0:01:20With me are Kate Andrews, News Editor at the Institute
0:01:20 > 0:01:21of Economic Affairs and Sebastian Payne, who's
0:01:21 > 0:01:31Political Leader Writer at the FT.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35We can start with this story about Jeremy Corbyn. I have the feeling I
0:01:35 > 0:01:40have read this headline before, but let's go through it. Jeremy Corbyn
0:01:40 > 0:01:46allies plot to oust 50 Labour MPs, what is it all about?We had this
0:01:46 > 0:01:49big move on Labour's National executive committee, which is the
0:01:49 > 0:01:53body that rules the party, and it was taken over by acolytes of Jeremy
0:01:53 > 0:02:00Corbyn. Everybody is asking what does this mean. This is what it
0:02:00 > 0:02:05means. They will use this new-found power to try to oust MPs who do not
0:02:05 > 0:02:12agree with Jeremy Corbyn. We have some of the names, Hilary Benn, the
0:02:12 > 0:02:19former shadow secretary. The former Shadow Chancellor. And Maria Rigas.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23The idea is to use complicated mechanisms within the party to get
0:02:23 > 0:02:28rid of them and bring in more lefty MPs. But this is speculative. If you
0:02:28 > 0:02:32had this, all of these MPs would just leave the Labour Party. They
0:02:32 > 0:02:38would probably form another new party. This is a risky strategy for
0:02:38 > 0:02:43Jeremy Corbyn. I don't think they would do this. They wouldn't have a
0:02:43 > 0:02:46shock and awe deselection. A couple of people do it carefully and below
0:02:46 > 0:02:50the radar. Doing this is asking for Civil War on the left which will
0:02:50 > 0:02:56hurt them at the ballot box.If you read until the end of this story it
0:02:56 > 0:03:01says that And said they were not campaigning for this. Even so, there
0:03:01 > 0:03:09is a lot of movement. -- Momentum said they were not campaigning for
0:03:09 > 0:03:16this.Since Jeremy Corbyn did so well in the snap election I think
0:03:16 > 0:03:21that tension has been escalating. The sentiment has been modern MPs
0:03:21 > 0:03:26need to get on board otherwise they could potentially be facing
0:03:26 > 0:03:29conflict. Sebastian is right, if you did one big exodus that would just
0:03:29 > 0:03:34be setting up another new party and spit your vote. The most important
0:03:34 > 0:03:38thing to take home about this is if momentum are trying to bring in more
0:03:38 > 0:03:43radical MPs on the left, that 2017 manifesto we saw, which many people
0:03:43 > 0:03:46said it wasn't as radical as they expected, would be going out the
0:03:46 > 0:03:53window. And we will see with Jeremy Corbyn and McDonnell planned to do
0:03:53 > 0:03:59with power.And they are getting more confident. Pundits like us said
0:03:59 > 0:04:03they had no chance of winning. They did very well. They get more
0:04:03 > 0:04:06confident in their position. The real question is, was last June a
0:04:06 > 0:04:12fluke or is that what is really going on? They need to be careful in
0:04:12 > 0:04:16not believing in their hubris too much.This is about a General
0:04:16 > 0:04:21Election, as well. Which is surely a long way away.You would think.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Surely Brexit has to get out of the way before any political party wants
0:04:25 > 0:04:29to have that debate. It's not on Labour's interest to take over the
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Brexit negotiations now. They don't have consensus in the party about
0:04:32 > 0:04:35what kind they would have. Imagine saying that on television tomorrow.
0:04:35 > 0:04:43Let's move on. The Sunday Telegraph. Their main story, we should welcome
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Trump visit, says Boris. This is all against the background of what is
0:04:47 > 0:04:52going on in America at the moment. The Government shutdown, protest
0:04:52 > 0:05:00marches, and so on. Trump one year run. What is Boris saying?He has
0:05:00 > 0:05:04suggested that he should be welcomed into the UK because the relationship
0:05:04 > 0:05:10with the United States is so crucial here. It is about respecting the
0:05:10 > 0:05:12office of the presidency, respecting that security, and potentially trade
0:05:12 > 0:05:15in the future would be fighting especially once Britain needs the
0:05:15 > 0:05:20EU. Boris has been saying this for a while. I agree with him. In the
0:05:20 > 0:05:24short-term gain to completely push the president out. I think a working
0:05:24 > 0:05:28trip would be appropriate. Bring out all the bells and whistles for a
0:05:28 > 0:05:31state visit is another matter and people have the right to protest.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Boris is trying to highlight the fact that the US has that special
0:05:35 > 0:05:39relationship. It has always been an ally. And to cut it off because
0:05:39 > 0:05:44Trump holds office now could be an error down the road.Trump himself
0:05:44 > 0:05:49seems unwilling to come. He was invited to cut the ribbon on the new
0:05:49 > 0:05:55American Embassy. He said he didn't like it.Off location, I believe.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00People south of the river upset about that. It looks like it isn't
0:06:00 > 0:06:04just antagonism here.I have absolutely no idea what the
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Government's policy towards the US at the moment is. One year ago,
0:06:08 > 0:06:13Theresa May was on the first plane out of London to get to Washington.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16That backfired spectacularly when he brought in that travel ban. She was
0:06:16 > 0:06:24left looking foolish. Then it has gone to Wear his best friend, we're
0:06:24 > 0:06:29pushing him away, having paraded him again. -- we are his best man. The
0:06:29 > 0:06:36UK US relationship goes way back. Fact is, Trump isn't well liked it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40There was a story on the front of the express which says that we do
0:06:40 > 0:06:43not want him to come here, particularly British women who feel
0:06:43 > 0:06:48his past actions are not something they want to deal with. You would
0:06:48 > 0:06:53get huge protest if he came here in a official state visit.He has been
0:06:53 > 0:06:59to France, all sorts of country where you might think he would get a
0:06:59 > 0:07:03hostile reception but he didn't. He went done quite well.It's
0:07:03 > 0:07:08interesting that the politico and the elite here reached out. Other
0:07:08 > 0:07:12countries were hesitant. He has met Emmanuel Macron. He has met Angela
0:07:12 > 0:07:17Merkel. These protests didn't happen. The one country that is
0:07:17 > 0:07:22reaching out to him find the most difficult to stomach him.Theresa
0:07:22 > 0:07:27May and Donald Trump will have a bilateral over a coffee. There will
0:07:27 > 0:07:35be no protesters. They can do what Boris suggests here.Interestingly,
0:07:35 > 0:07:40Rex Tillerson, Secretary of State, is on his way to London, and Boris
0:07:40 > 0:07:45says he looks forward to having a chat with him.I'm sure. Somebody
0:07:45 > 0:07:48needs to open the new embassy because Trump wasn't able to come
0:07:48 > 0:07:53here himself.I like that. CHUCKLES
0:07:53 > 0:07:58The Sunday Telegraph again. Junior doctors must pay to leave the NHS.
0:07:58 > 0:08:04As if it didn't have enough hanging over it, what is this about?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Fascinating titbit which has come from a chap who represents senior
0:08:08 > 0:08:11management in the NHS. Saying junior doctors who get trained get all of
0:08:11 > 0:08:14the benefits of the health service. If they then want to leave they have
0:08:14 > 0:08:20to pay back the £220,000 work benefit. Surely this will get junior
0:08:20 > 0:08:23doctors annoyed. Remember how aggrieved they were last year when
0:08:23 > 0:08:26they were hitting the streets and some say trying to bring down the
0:08:26 > 0:08:35Government and all of that stuff. Now to be told by managers you have
0:08:35 > 0:08:38to pay back.It's quite a lot of money.It is. Training is a two-way
0:08:38 > 0:08:41scheme. If you say to someone you are going into this contract to pay
0:08:41 > 0:08:45it back, it does seem unfair, but it highlights the huge problems we have
0:08:45 > 0:08:50with the NHS at the moment. Absolutely and the representative of
0:08:50 > 0:08:54this says this is one of the most pressing problems of the NHS, we
0:08:54 > 0:08:57have thousands of doctors choosing to go abroad. If you have invested
0:08:57 > 0:09:00that much money, hundreds of thousands of pounds into one person,
0:09:00 > 0:09:05to see them take off immediately is difficult. We don't have the full
0:09:05 > 0:09:09details. We don't know is going abroad for a year would count. This
0:09:09 > 0:09:11is an indefinite move in which they have to pay something back, for
0:09:11 > 0:09:18example. But there are other services which have better pay,
0:09:18 > 0:09:22better hours, nicer services for the workers as well as the patients. We
0:09:22 > 0:09:26must be aware of that when we have these conversations.Does this come
0:09:26 > 0:09:31back to the business of the fact that the health system is a broken
0:09:31 > 0:09:36model. Fantastic staff, but it isn't working, is it? It is just an
0:09:36 > 0:09:41example of it.Everyday we have all NHS crisis. Everyday we find
0:09:41 > 0:09:45something else is wrong. Nobody is willing to come out and admit the
0:09:45 > 0:09:50fact that the system might not be fit for 2018. And you have doctors
0:09:50 > 0:09:53voting with their feet to go to other countries to work there and
0:09:53 > 0:10:00that should be a sign.Theresa May 's Government should do something
0:10:00 > 0:10:03about it. Jeremy Corbyn has proposals to raise taxes, keep the
0:10:03 > 0:10:07same model, but put more cash into it. Talk has been coming from
0:10:07 > 0:10:12Downing Street about a Royal commission. That would be a
0:10:12 > 0:10:15fantastic way of kicking the problem into the long grass for the next
0:10:15 > 0:10:19five years and not do anything. All of this talk about raising taxes. In
0:10:19 > 0:10:23the short term that is more money in, but something needs to be done,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26we cannot keep going into this situation. The population is getting
0:10:26 > 0:10:34older. Strains will grow greater. And the internal argument between
0:10:34 > 0:10:37management and doctors will continue to grow.Indeed. We mentioned the
0:10:37 > 0:10:50Sunday Express before. The polls saying Trump isn't welcome. Brexit
0:10:50 > 0:10:56enforcers is the headline. Kate, I think it is your turn to explain.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00They are reporting that more than 100 MPs will demand that Theresa May
0:11:00 > 0:11:04ends freedom of movement and takes Britain out of the single market in
0:11:04 > 0:11:11March 2019. What this is pointing out is that the transition period
0:11:11 > 0:11:14should not include any kind of free movement or access to the single
0:11:14 > 0:11:23market. Jacob Rees Mogg is reported here to be...What did you call him?
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Layla the new darling. I must remember that.He said that she must
0:11:27 > 0:11:33stick to his red lines which she has theoretically laid out. Phase one of
0:11:33 > 0:11:36the negotiations wasn't something the heart Brexiteers enjoyed. They
0:11:36 > 0:11:39felt too much money was being offered. They feel like the question
0:11:39 > 0:11:46of the Irish border was leaning too far towards remaining in the single
0:11:46 > 0:11:50market, rather than taking them out. And the other issues they care
0:11:50 > 0:11:57about, like free movement, they think they will not be listened to
0:11:57 > 0:12:04there either. I think they are laying down the line now. It is a
0:12:04 > 0:12:09long game isn't it? It should not just be about the next few years.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14Does Theresa May need this pressure? Certainly not. She should be worried
0:12:14 > 0:12:19by this. Phase one was the easy part. The EU said, give us lots of
0:12:19 > 0:12:27money. Then you will have to keep the same rules of transition. The
0:12:27 > 0:12:30heart Brexiteers are saving their ammo for the real fight, which is
0:12:30 > 0:12:33the end state. I don't know why they are so worried about the transition
0:12:33 > 0:12:39part. As long as it has a finite date, let's say the end of 2020, you
0:12:39 > 0:12:45exit all of the EU's institutions, then that is fine. But these 100 MPs
0:12:45 > 0:12:48are the most powerful caucus within parliament we have seen in modern
0:12:48 > 0:12:52history. Jacob Rees Mogg has recently taken over the head of this
0:12:52 > 0:12:56group, which is called the European search group, they are putting a
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Garda van Theresa May. If they lose faith in her, they will knife her.
0:13:00 > 0:13:08So she should be worried. -- are putting a guard around Theresa May.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12The transition will be the status quo. I don't know what they're
0:13:12 > 0:13:16getting at here.Very quickly. The Mail on Sunday we cannot ignore
0:13:16 > 0:13:30this. Top Tories in Chinese cash for Brexit for -- who furore. It is your
0:13:30 > 0:13:36story about undercover reporters. It is Channel 4 saying this. It will be
0:13:36 > 0:13:41a Dispatchers programme.
0:13:45 > 0:13:52-- it is going to be a Dispatches story.It was a sting. They said
0:13:52 > 0:13:56somebody along to entrap MPs to say something naughty. The MPs realised
0:13:56 > 0:14:01what was going on. The programme, coming out tomorrow night, which
0:14:01 > 0:14:04really we will have to watch to see what this is about, had targeted
0:14:04 > 0:14:10Angela Lansbury, and Peter Lilley. They deny any wrongdoing.
0:14:10 > 0:14:17Absolutely.Or they are saying is Cani influence Brexit? And it'll
0:14:17 > 0:14:22open up the question of should MPs have a second job.The bigger
0:14:22 > 0:14:28question about this story is the foreign aspect. -- can you influence
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Brexit? It seems like there isn't much of a story, given the fact it
0:14:31 > 0:14:35has all been denied. We shall have to watch tomorrow, as you say.Thank
0:14:35 > 0:14:36you both.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37That's it for The Papers tonight.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online
0:14:40 > 0:14:41on the BBC News website.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44It's all there for you - seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it
0:14:47 > 0:14:48later on BBC iPlayer.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Thank you, Kate and Sebastian.
0:14:50 > 0:15:00Goodbye
