10:31 pm
tonight, ladies. tomorrow's front pages: the mail on sunday claims the conservatives‘ opinion poll lead has been slashed in half because of theresa may's plans over tax and pensions. theresa may parks her battle tanks on labour's lawn, according to the sunday times, as it reports on tory manifesto plan to offer £100 off energy bills for workers. the sunday express claims "one—in—seven labour voters turns "tory" in a forthcoming political earthquake as the paper "tory" in the election as the paper reports that labour voters are deserting jeremy corbyn. jeremy corbyn "puts uk at terror risk" is the paper reports that tory campaign strategists claim the labour leader
10:32 pm
would not take the right decisions to keep the country safe. the observer reports a pledge from lib dem leader, tim farron, that he won't do any coalition deals, saying he wants the liberal democrats be the main opposition. so let's begin. you think no one will pay attention to polls after the debacle of the general action, uk polls are getting a bad reputation abroad. the emphasis on the polls is ludicrous, ina emphasis on the polls is ludicrous, in a way. we don't know if the polls are hurting, which is a phenomenon where they start talking golf each other but yet the papers seem to build their headlines based on polls. they are spending a lot of money on polls. as an ex—editor, i can tell you, you make the investment and probably someone from management said, do you really want
10:33 pm
to spend that money on a poll question mark —— ? to spend that money on a poll question mark ——? you up quite bright, they have been totally thrown and the baby and the half water because they have been wrong oi'i water because they have been wrong on so many water because they have been wrong on so many things recently. shall we start with the times? i am sure we will mention polls as we go through each one. eve, kick us off. we are talking battle tanks on labour's lawn. i'm fascinated by iru mugan -- theresa may because she has... she said she was going to work we are just about managing the people who are working hard, they could be tory voters, were thatcher voters, and in have much money, so she is saying she will give £100 off energy bills ina she will give £100 off energy bills in a manifesto for workers. we know
10:34 pm
energy bills are higher, we know you are slightly locked in the short—term thing where you cannot prove they have agreed they will charge the same. it is very hard to save money charge the same. it is very hard to save money on energy and charge the same. it is very hard to save money on energy and if you have a family, it is very expensive. so, she's offering them that. she is also saying that this poll, which is also saying that this poll, which is a you got poll, i have to say also i think the other problem with polls is when they are face—to—face, they we re is when they are face—to—face, they were a is when they are face—to—face, they we re a lot is when they are face—to—face, they were a lot more correct. and now they are online, i don't know. she's saying that people trust her with the nhs than trust jeremy corbyn. but there is no way to measure anything like that. i know that i will say something that is counter marriages and maybe counterintuitive andi marriages and maybe counterintuitive and i have my issues withjeremy corbyn, i think he is playing this
10:35 pm
quite well and i think people will be surprised... playing it well how? whatjeremy corbyn has that to reason made doesn't have is that he is who he is, you know who he is going to be, you like —— vote whether you like it deal or not. we don't know what theresa may is going to do. she wasn't going to do this, now she here, so, i... iwould normally say that might be true but i thinkjeremy corbyn has been such a disappointment. well, i don't think they are going to win enough to form a government but i don't think they are going to be wiped out either. that is what i'm trying to say. the front page of the times, talking about jeremy corbyn, say. the front page of the times, talking aboutjeremy corbyn, you said he is playing it well and yet the paper reports that a key and cider is saying that he can't cope, the office is ruled by chaos. that
10:36 pm
wouldn't surprise you. if you think aboutjeremy wouldn't surprise you. if you think about jeremy corbyn, he wouldn't surprise you. if you think aboutjeremy corbyn, he has been a backbencher, probably went to the allotment in the morning, went into the house of commons in the afternoon, never took the web, having voted the way he wanted to. but why haven't they reported that theresa may has lost key people this week, she has lost people who are not in her office anymore, that is not in her office anymore, that is not on the front page. but it is not chaos. but no one is investigating it. i'm just saying that if you start to look at the way the papers going, they are making a narrative for her where she is flip—flopping and he is not flip—flopping. for her where she is flip—flopping and he is not flip-flopping. the express is saying it is working too well tonight, one in seven labour voters are actually turning blue. well tonight, one in seven labour voters are actually turning bluem they are, that is not bad. if the way that it has been predicted, the
10:37 pm
conservatives will get 3006, if it is only one in seven... i think tim farren will pick up myjeremy corbyn loses. but story i do believe in the mail on sunday is a tax u—turn. i do know and have been discussing with ancient people of my age that people are very, ancient people of my age that people are very, very worried that she is going to tax part—timers, that is often older people, she is going to re move often older people, she is going to remove the triple bock. everybody says, well, millennial is have no money and pensioners have all the money, that is slightly weird because of house values and all the re st of because of house values and all the rest of it. but you've got a lot of millennial is who actually will need to save money so they can going to ca re to save money so they can going to care homes. to actually knock the people who are your main voting constituency which is what they may
10:38 pm
be, philip hammond wanted to put more tax on self—employed people, and that was very unpopular, and they had to withdraw from it because it had been a david cameron pledge. but what you are saying, basically, is that we don't know what theresa may is. i've got pictures of her with a big remain sign and a big smile on herface, dear reason me, i will never do do another election. to be fair, we don't know what she is saying because we haven't seen the manifesto. for people who are just joining the manifesto. for people who are justjoining us, let mejust remind you what we are talking about. we are referring to the mile and this is yet another poll that has been run, the mail on sunday says that it will be leader has gone to the selection because the poll was so
10:39 pm
high. this is what philip hammond wanted to do in the budget. he did wa nt wanted to do in the budget. he did want to put higher taxes on the self—employed. and then there is this constant talk about the triple lock. the triple lock is lovably something that will perhaps have to be looked at because if you've got austerity and trouble with the nhs and people don't have enough money for schools and the rest of it, the money will have to come from somewhere. my feeling, and i think a lot of people, feel bad because it is our money, it is wasted. you see in the nhs, you've got people in... not doctors and nurses but management earning more than the prime minister. you've got all sorts of... bonnie, i'm going to ask you to skip ahead to the telegraph simply because i'm trying to get through three more. there is another... we've got to hear, i think. we are going to start off with this online pharmacy because
10:40 pm
this is really quite disturbing. bonnie, remind us what the story is about. this is about an online pharmacy backs by the nhs, it has admitted selling a bleaching agent asa admitted selling a bleaching agent as a revolutionary europe. i have to say, as someone as a revolutionary europe. i have to say, as someone brought up in america, this is kind of an american story in the worst possible way. what is the drug for? it is basically for some kind of breathing problems. it hasn't aged in it but it is the kind of story that indicates the shape that the nhs is in at the moment. and i think, i think one of the things that labour, andi think one of the things that labour, and i think why this might be smart, is that the nhs is one of the call election issues, v core issue,
10:41 pm
always, in this country. if you can find a way to show that the nhs is being eroded under a particular comment, it does strike a chord. the thing i don't understand is why, actually, you depoliticise the nhs, because it is so important, you set up because it is so important, you set upa because it is so important, you set up a royal commission with doctors, with nurses, would make wives, with matrons, remember when they used to be matrons, and the matron had some say—so about over the bar should the clean doorknob. but if you keep the nhs asa clean doorknob. but if you keep the nhs as a political football like education, then it becomes a political football. each and that can take to does for doing different things with it. instead of sorting it out. we have had a statement said to us by the company that make the drug. the name of the day is
10:42 pm
pharmacy to you. regulators are investigating them. people who have used this was suffering from vomiting and breathing problems. the pharmacy pharmacy spokesman has told the sunday telegraph that this drug is no longer available from them. as you say, disturbing that you have to get that point. something which should perhaps say is that online pharmacy says it is a revolutionary newjewel, don't believe them, go to your doctor. let's turn to the times.jim your doctor. let's turn to the times. jim cooked up nuclear clash in the suburbs. apparently, kim who needs money because he needs staff of the missiles, is going to fight
10:43 pm
it at south korea, he has got, apparently, they've got... north korea have a house in black page that has been making money by some sort of deal and it is apparently fraudulently claimed against london insurers. —— north korea have a house in blackheath. seriously, they have discovered that north korea has this secret house in blackheath. a strange place to choose. trying to raise money to buy plutonium or whatever you need for the missiles. at the bottom of the story, north korea says it is complete nonsense. either of you running the marathon tomorrow? sadly not. in my mind. on
10:44 pm
the front page of the times, huge security net from marathon. the duke and duchess of cambridge are going because it is for their charity this year. i also think because of what has happened in paris, there will be strong security on a day like this. i always wondered why they put that kind of story in the paper, in a sense. of course there is going to bea sense. of course there is going to be a huge security net, why does it have to be in the paper?|j be a huge security net, why does it have to be in the paper? i suppose to reassure people. and maybe for people to take some sort of identification with them. we are going to come back to this in half an hour. don't go away. even bonnie, an hour. don't go away. even bonnie, a pleasure. to stay with us. we will be back at 11:30pm. coming up next, it is the film review with simon
10:45 pm
mccoy. don't go away. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through the cinema releases this week is jason solomons. what do we have this week? the glamour of old—school hollywood is the backdrop for a love story between a starlet and her chauffeur under the watchful eye of reclusive billionaire howard hughes in warren beatty‘s rules don't apply. we have the sands of time, which reveal voices from a hidden mirror in the form of gertrude bell's letters from baghdad, as read out by tilda swinton
