to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the parliamentary journalist, tony grew and caroline frost, entertainment editor at huffington post uk. tomorrow's front pages, starting with — the financial times claims that theresa may failed to consult some of her most senior colleagues on manifesto plans to overhaul the social care system. the times also goes with social care, saying that theresa may's planned changes could be wrecked by poorly performing local authorities. the metro also leads with the general election, reporting that the tories are now looking to attackjeremy corbyn after polls showed their lead over labour being cut in half. the telegraph reports that jeremy corbyn is at the centre of a growing row, after they say he repeatedly refused to condemn the actions of republican terrorists in ireland. the daily mail covers the same story, adding that mr corbyn‘s comments have enraged campaigners for the victims of terrorism. the guardian says it has seen a large cash of internal documents
11:32 pm
——cache of internal documents from facebook which show how the tech giant moderates its sites. and finally the express has a bit of good news — britain is set to enjoy a blast of summer with ten days of sunshine. thank goodness for that. let's begin with the social care story that keeps on giving, this one. the tories stand firm after care wobble is the headline in the independent. no change from pop your policies after the weekend poll show that labour is closing the gap. but you wonder if it is a risk, will people vote conservative no matter what?” think this is a calculated gamble within the inner sanctum of theresa may and her closest counsel. there are innumerable safe tory seats around the country because of are innumerable safe tory seats around the ct the ‘y because of

are innumerable safe tory seats around the ct thl this our ise of are innumerable safe tory seats around the ct thl this decision: are innumerable safe tory seats around the ct thl this decision 1 go they have made this decision to go after non—traditional tory voting places and this is obviously a places and this is sbvieuslya places and this is ebvieuslya g extends i places and this is ebvieuslya g extends beyond their places and this is ebvieuslya are fagin: ff” senior tories kept in the reporting. senior tories kept in the dark over the dementia tax. this seems to have been re— occurring then, that many —— and not many people knew about this before it was released. theresa may is obviously keeping a close eye on it and how it will be released. the ft says that this plan, the so—called dementia tax,... the concern here is not about the policy. i think that the reason may use
11:34 pm
about the policy. i think that the reason may use being startlingly honest with the public which is not something we expect from politicians. she is getting rid of the promises of david cameron to not raise taxes, that triple lock on the pension. and she is effectively saying to people who have large assets in the form of property that they will need to pay for their social care. i can imagine why for some people think that is shocking, but for those who are under 30, people a huge asset, the that young should that young - should pay idea that young people should pay for the care of people with huge assets if unfair. the young people are assets if unfair. the young people a re less assets if unfair. the young people are less likely to vote, however. however this is a masterstroke from theresa may. she is taking on those who are the largest voting block, those over 65. this is for her to create a new britain. the poll numbers she is on now
11:35 pm
:—_—7 % a it seems as ‘ she will do that. you ‘she will do that. you said if she will do that. you said previously that the policy has not been explained well people do not understand it. to say that you can keep 100,000 pounds of your own assets including the value of your home is a far value from the cap of £76,000 which suggested nobody would than that. this will affect people across the country different people across the country quite differently. somebody with a house with average prices of under 100,000 will be celebrating this policy because in theory they will never have to pay anything. people with assets in somewhere like kent, in theory you will not have much inheritance to pass on. it is completely unearned wealth. wider society think you should be able to
11:36 pm
pass on unearned wealth. people have often done it, haven't they? the different situation is our those people are now sucking care out of national health insurance? they pay their insurerends. national health insurance? they pay their insurer ends. but life expectancy was smaller years ago. we have to accept now that people can be repaired have to accept now that people can be re paired tyre have to accept now that people can be repaired tyre for 30 years. 30 years of constant care care, how much will it cost? corbyn's eating teeth for ira victims. jeremy corbyn refusing five times to unequivocally condemn the ira. one twitter user suggests that this is an old story that conveniently had dresses avoiding facts. this is the
11:37 pm
conservative slinging mud. i think the conservatives are perfectly right to point out that this man spent his time consorting with figures in ireland at a time when they were bombing and murdering figures. he is the one now trying to re ca st figures. he is the one now trying to recast this is his heroic contribution to the peace process. i reject that. he spent no time polling around with unionists and loyalist. he only took one side of the argument. he took the extreme side as well. i have no problem with people supporting a united ireland but he had two ways to do it, constitutional politics or the politics of he politics . violence. politics i violence. he said he the politics of violence. he said he disagreed with the military of approach that was taken during the troubles. he is condemned the bombing from all sides. i think he been extremely careful and, i would... i would disagree and say he

a little darker because facebook is still refusing to acknowledge their increasing status as a publisher of almost unparalleled influence across the world. what the guardian has done is uncovered some training manuals and ethical guidelines and all sorts of tree diagrams for their moderators which is a pathetically poor number of people. a500 of them. the ceo has promised that more will be coming on board but we are still talking about 2 billion users and something like 6 million accounts that they deal with every single day. it is a shockingly small number of people charged with looking at the content and deciding what is acceptable, deciding what could be inciting, just what is incredibly distasteful and worse. partly they will take on an extra 3000 people around the world to be a moderator so around the world to be a moderator so they can review millions of reports that they get every day. a simpler system now and they will be able to take down posts faster and contract law enforcement. it is said

that they need to do more. companies a joke they have no corporate social responsibility. they cannot keep control of the content, it has grown toa control of the content, it has grown to a lidded too quickly and... they are not a platform, they are publisher of content, perhaps the biggest one. it is difficult for a government to deal with the scope of that but if you think about how controlled these newspapers and tv and radio are in terms of what they can publish... but we are much smaller. we are notjust a platform that other people post on. the argument is that they are no longer argument is that they are no longer a platform, that they are eight publisher and they need to accept a murder, of responsibility. the cynical use of free—speech argument is cynical. they just can't cynical use of free—speech argument is cynical. theyjust can't be bothered. the times. trump urges muslims tojoin bothered. the times. trump urges muslims to join battle between good

and evil. a different tone from president trump. this is the sort of thing that he was saying about islam and islamist extremism in his run—up to his election. he was particularly critical of hillary clinton's relationship with saudi arabia. one of the things he said about saudi arabia during the campaign, it is amazing but he can now turn up at their country and praise them and talk about their kingdom. we are in a strange year of global politics and with donald trump, four—minute countries, the reality is that they had to reset the clock.|j countries, the reality is that they had to reset the clock. i love the fa ct had to reset the clock. i love the fact that now he has managed to utter an entire sentence with a. —— with a period. we applaud in our brief statement ship. but the campaign trail is different of being

in power. he is absolutely a pragmatist. if that coincides with world peace, iam pragmatist. if that coincides with world peace, i am all for it. three more quick stories. air pollution can deprive you of a good night ‘s sleep? really? what a surprise. air pollution is a great evil of our age. we know it affects everything, we know that children suffer because of it and the message here is that they found one more thing, one more reason to be suspicious of air pollution and try to bring down carbon levels and all sorts of bad things that happen, generally, in cities. intensive this research, the average age was 63. we should point out that this was monitoring sites in six us cities. not that i suspect our pollution will be different. but a look at the next paper. heavenly

returns for the church of england puts it up among top performance. they do not follow every market trend. being a church they tend to look at things with a long—term view in terms of their investments. they have a different strategy. with any story in the ft it is difficult to understand. you do need an economics degree, don't you? it is fascinating but they are going against the trend. just waiting, sitting it out. perhaps a little but a divine intervention? good luck. finally, the eye. twin peaks is back but what is it all about? seminal, i suppose you would say 1990 tv series. and not a remake. since we spoke earlier someone not a remake. since we spoke earlier someone tweeted as to point out that

mash was perhaps the great show of the tv. david lynch has responded to a nostalgia wave. will you watch it? idid and a nostalgia wave. will you watch it? i did and i will and a nostalgia wave. will you watch it? i did and i willand i hope it is slightly less complicated than the la st slightly less complicated than the last one. would watching 1's help you with the return? you should probably watch the first if you will wa nt probably watch the first if you will want to watch the second. i don't agree with the idea of mash being brilliant, it was a routine sitcom. that is it tonight. think very much for coming in. a treat to
