10:45 pm
john major is second—guessing the british people as what the best way is to approach brexit. we have moved from project fear, to project smear and bare from project fear, to project smear and b are now at project pathetic. we had tony blair last week. i think things are getting a bit desperate. no one is showing contempt for the 40% who voted to remain. what's important is the 60% who were polled last week who said they want the prime minister to get on with brexit, which is what she is doing. it was suggested that in london, which voted remain, they thought immigration should be the priority and not trade. wasjohn major out of
10:46 pm
the public? i then think so. i think what we are seeing here... let him talk. i can feel the heat coming off of her. there has been some real opposition and the government is being held to account in a way we have not seen the elected politicians in the house of commons doing. we've had tony blair making a speech, lord mandelson has been writing all over the place, nowjohn major. they are making real point about the way the government is approaching brexit, about the way they are trying to railroad the article 50 bill through without it being amended. now they are trying to suggest... i knew she would not last long. laurie, what —— laura
10:47 pm
what is unhealthy about the country debating what brexit means? nobody knew until the last few weeks what it meant. they can continue to debate, i'd does them think people will listen to him or tony blair or whoever they will at next week. they are not very credible. john major's record in europe has been disastrous. he railroaded britain into maastricht. it is not about john major or tony blair it's about the message. the messenger is very important, as we all know in politics. these two former prime ministers are discredited. if is the tactic, it's fine. fill your boots. if that is the best they've got, i will be sleeping easy tonight.|j would suggest that as time goes on and the economy starts to feel some of the strain of brexit, then the message will carry a bit more
10:48 pm
weight. the telegraph picks up on the fact that mr major says leaving the fact that mr major says leaving the eu is an historic mistake. he did also say in his speech that he accept the eu is not perfect. it's not all fantastic, but he was highlighting what he felt were major concerns about the government's handling of the brexit negotiations and the dealings with eu leaders as well. quite a scathing attack. its scathing and bitter. it says more about him than it does about the prime minister, who i think is doing a fantasticjob. i think he is going to come out of this worse off than the prime minister is. he is entitled to his opinion and people like yourself like to hear it, but it's amazing how the bbc now love john major. when he was in power they hated him. they absolutely slammed him. we absolutely never ta ke slammed him. we absolutely never take sides. we are very impartial,
10:49 pm
laura. it is a cheek for you to say that. the government and theresa may are talking about what they want from the brexit deal. they haven't said anything about what we will have to pay. no one is being told that at the moment. that is a massive black hole in the debate and all he is doing is saying look, will be to start talking about this. the daily telegraph also poses the question, what now. they've interviewed nigel farage. how do you keep go forward now that brexit is happening. nigel farage suggesting they get rid of the only standing mp. that is ukip's problem. theresa may is going forward with brexit in a coherent fashion. if there is any
10:50 pm
slippage on the part of may, they'll be relevant and important again. i don't know how you can get rid of douglas carswell. he is either unelected by his constituents or he withdraws the whip from himself, which seems unlikely. it points to the underlying ridiculousness of ukip. they only have this one mp who isa ukip. they only have this one mp who is a constant odds with other people in the party, people like nigel farage and adam banks, who is always demanding to take over the party. you never know with ukip. at any moment nigel farage cle comeback. it looks as if he had aaron banks on his side. tough new migrant rules. free movement could be ended within weeks. this is something that may be not everyone thought about, that the
10:51 pm
rules kick in when article $50. not everyone thought about, that the rules kick in when article $50m will be interesting to see if it is when article 50 is triggered or at the end of the negotiations. whatever the migration rules are, they need to be decided in westminster and not brussels. it's decided by democracy as opposed to bureaucracy in brussels. when the bill goes through there will be suitable scrutiny and an examination of what the law should be, which is how democracy works. whether or not it does happen when article 50 is triggered, everybody... the important point is that everyone is given adequate notice, it can be done retroactively and if rules change when article 50 is triggered, thatis change when article 50 is triggered, that is there enough in terms of notice given to people coming into the country. let's move the times. the headline there that will worry many people. don't lock—up loneliest
10:52 pm
paedophiles. this is a quote from the police. the public will be horrified. give us the background. this is britain's most senior child protection officer saying the police have been inundated with investigations into child sex abuse, into paedophilia and the rise has been 80% in three years. they are getting 112 new complaint today and they expect a further 40,000 to the official enquiry that is happening into historic child sex abuse. they are saying they are over spilling and they can't do with it and because of that some of the lesser offe nces because of that some of the lesser offences will have to be decriminalised. that is going to horrify most people and even he acknowledges that this stance will horrified a lot of people. he is saying we have no choice. the question seems to be of resources, or at least he is raising that here.
10:53 pm
is it the simply a question of money? can you solve this problem by hiring more police officers? i don't know if it will be as simple as that, nonetheless it will be a shocking story. in some ways it's reassuring that people are overwhelmed with stories because people feel they can step forward and report. it's notjust the question of not locking them up because if you are convicted of something you can also receive a non—custodial sentence, but what worries me about this is that he is saying they shouldn't be given any criminal sanction which could have a knock—on effect. if it is not on your record you will be free to what we re your record you will be free to what were children. that is the first issue, and also looking at indecent images, it is wrong to say that this isa images, it is wrong to say that this is a victimless crime. the poor children in those images, and there isa children in those images, and there is a scale from minor to incredibly
10:54 pm
dangerous image eens —— images, and i think they are level five, to say it is victimless is wrong. it points to this idea that they are trying to slightly change the way society views these crimes and i think a lot of people across the political spectrum will probably agree that actually the way we see it as a horrific crime at the moment is right. you can deal with the sentencing in a different way, but there should be a criminal sanction. the guardian. it devotes a lot of hits from to politics in america, unlike other papers. trump plans a huge increase in us military spending. a wonderful you have to give credit to trump. he made a lot
10:55 pm
of promises in his election campaign and he is delivering on his bonkers promises. he said he will remove spending from environmental policy and from eight spending as well. they're trying to redirect spending in those areas to be military. trump has promised to reinvigorate industry in a rocca as well and it's a very easy way to do that, by building new tanks, ships, whatever the needs. defending your country is not a bonkers promise. i like the protection that the united states give us, as you do also. italy take advantage of it, even though they spent hardly anything on the
10:56 pm
military. people are being protected by the american military, who liberated europe from fascism. putting that to one side, he is entitled to fulfil his electoral promise to defend his country and i think anybody who doesn't think defending your own country, liberty and security should take a long hard look at themselves. but it comes at eight cost to other areas. it is causing a lot of concern. it's only causing a lot of concern. it's only causing concern to those opposed to trump. we have to leave it there, but many thanks for the interesting discussion. we will continue that. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc dot co uk forward slash papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it
10:57 pm
later on bbc iplayer. thank you, laura and joe. thank you for watching. variety is the spice of life. plenty of that at the moment. it's frosty out there after what has been a wet day for many. for others there was some springlike sunshine, but for others there was a reminder that winter is not over. heavy snowfall across midlothian, for example. cloud crossing the country at the moment and that's generating the wintry showers. the clear gaps generate sunshine by day and frost by night. we will have that mixture of frost and wintry showers to mike. ice will be a hazard, particularly where we have happened late showers. temperatures will drop below freezing. there will be slippery
