bringing us tomorrow. with me are the evening standard columnist rosamund urwin and the telegraph's women's editor, claire cohen. i've let the side down with my lack of sparkle and my drug choice of attire, i apologise —— drab choice. tomorrow's front pages. the observer reports that children from poorfamilies are more likely to need emergency treatment for conditions like asthma and diabetes compared to their wealthier counterparts. the sunday times says that theresa may will abandon a manifesto pledge to overturn the ban on fox hunting in the new year. the mail on sunday details how the british army is spending millions of pounds of taxpayers' money to scrap its ‘be the best‘ motto, because of fears it's elitist. britain's christmas food and drink exports are at all time high according to the sunday express, with brexit a main catalyst, the paper says. staying with brexit — the sunday telegraph reports how borisjohnson and michael gove have criticised hmrc for placing large tax bills on individuals who donated to the leave campaign.

we will start with the help story on the observer, huge health gap revealed between rich and poor, where is the research coming from? from the nuffield trust, the latest ina from the nuffield trust, the latest in a series of nhs in crisis stories that appear this time of year, and this is the child poverty gap increasing, children from poor families more likely to spend time in a&e and it lists asthma and diabetes as two of the reasons and they are 70% more likely to appear in acts compared with their less deprived counterparts. shocking numbers. it is the earlier years of your life rather than life expectancy which we have reported many times. one of the things which cotties many times. one of the things which comes out this asthma and much of thatis comes out this asthma and much of that is related to air pollution and the quality of the homes in which people are living and how close they are to main roads. there have been a numberof are to main roads. there have been a number of studies that show, in

london, for example, if you live in tower hamlets you are much more likely to suffer from asthma compared to a richer borough, and your score is compared to a richer borough, and your score is more compared to a richer borough, and your score is more likely to be closer to main roads and so is your home —— your closer to main roads and so is your home — — your school. closer to main roads and so is your home —— your school. so kids are playing in the playground and breathing in horrible fumes. there are other lifestyle elements to come into this, but this sets out the gap thatis into this, but this sets out the gap that is quite shocking. something that is quite shocking. something that needs to be addressed. another example of the inequality gap that a p pa re ntly example of the inequality gap that apparently seems to be growing. the almost feels like the nhs is going backwards when it comes to child health, there is a tag line on the front page of the observer story, quoting a doctor saying he sees ricketts regularly, and we have had stories about scarlet fever coming back and there was a whooping cough epidemic if it feels like we're going back to a semi—victorian age when it comes to child health.

ricketts should not be seen in this country, although you do get this in the developed world. it should not be happening in britain. debuchy plotted to discredit me —— deputy pm's allies parted to discredit me, this is relating to the damian green story. what is said here, some of the material that was submitted to the material that was submitted to the white or inquiry which led to the white or inquiry which led to the sacking of damian green last week —— whitehall inquiry. there had been negative supporters about her, and that actually was submitted to the charge of the inquiry, the evidence is that they were submitting things which were to discredit her. it didn't work. even the suggestion of a smear campaign against her is very unhelpful, it

takes a lot of bravery and gumption to come forward when something like this has happened to you and she has saidl this has happened to you and she has said i think this weekend that she did that because there were other women she knew who might have similar complaints to make and other women who needed to speak out about other people. to have that discredited when we are in the midst of this harassment scandal, notjust in westminster, that is very unhelpful and worrying. he had apologised. we had closure on it but thenit apologised. we had closure on it but then it was reopened this weekend. this doesn't really suggest someone who feels very sorry if there is any truth in this. it is the allies who are trying to help in some way, i suppose. they felt they were. the sunday times. theresa may ditches hunting to back animal rights. it was a manifesto pledge that fox hunting, they would overturn the ban. this is part of a rebranding of the party? it is. but i'm not sure

it will unite the party, i think it will anger quite a lot of the rural supporters as the sunday times points out, and split mps, so if this is meant to be a rousing end of year unite the tories, identity will play out that way. it is to address the idea that she has managed to make the conservative brand of toxic again since the general election, and one of the stories that was much shared, even that wasn't true, was all about, the social media backlash over accusations that they were using brexit legislation to reduce uk levels of protection for animals, that wasn't true, but that went bananas on social media and it became a big thing and a big story that seems to reflect something about the conservatives brand, and i suspect this is about realigning and addressing this idea that they are a toxic particles up they think this will appeal to the younger voters.

yes, this idea the nasty party, interesting timing, as well, before the boxing day shoot, a strong statement to make at this time of year, but maybe she feels it will be slightly buried for maybe older supporters at this time of year.l couple of stories we can connect at the bottom, troops get £1 for christmas day as whitehall pays six and £50 for a move —— £650. christmas day as whitehall pays six and £50 for a move -- £650. the christmas dinner was on friday for troops in afghanistan who feel this has been a forgotten conflict. it is in its 17th year and we have rather taken our attention away from it. they have christmas dinner on friday. it has snowed in afghanistan, they ponder, and troops from the yorkshire regiment have been reduced to swapping the stars on the american trees for yorkshire flags —— they point out. basically

saying the americans have been giving great things the christmas. theresa may has made a speech praising the troops, but it seems they have been given very little money individually. and of course on top of that the nice bit is that theirfamily top of that the nice bit is that their family and friends have sent loads of presence but the country has done little for them for top 500 troops have been given £500 for this elevation is but whitehall staff are being sent for presentation skills training ata being sent for presentation skills training at a cost of £650 a day which rather dwarfs the £500 for 500 troops. it doesn't really add up. theresa may has paid a heart—warming tribute to the troops. it is to the empty if they are essentially being given pound each to celebrex christmas and there's a long list of the things that the american soldiers get, including christmas trees and food and a special screening of star wars. —— to

celebrate christmas but and whitehall staff are having £650 spent on them so they can in answer it. -- spent on them so they can in answer it. —— they can speak clearly. spent on them so they can in answer it. —— they can speak clearlyi will charge them a fraction of that to put them through their paces, if i were allowed, which i'm not, probably. and now the sunday express. christmas brexit bonus, exports are soaring. interesting one. they compared exports with 2015 and they say they are up 9%, but normally you compare year—on—year which they are clearly not doing. what are you suggesting? this might not be a story which i think is entirely worthy of a front page of any newspaper. maybe we can find the figures for 2016 between now and 1130, that would be interesting. apparently we are selling lots of

food and whiskey and award—winning tv. how is this boosted by brexit? the value of the pound? that is the assumption, from the little we have got to go on, the shock spike in festive food and drink at this time of year, helped by brexit. the sunday telegraph. ministers: tax grab on brexiteers is bad for democracy, this is michael grove >> studio: -- democracy, this is michael grove >> studio: —— michael gove and boris johnson. studio: —— michael gove and boris johnson. yes, usually if you make a private donation to a political party and a campaign they are not taxed on it over and a number of individuals who donated to eu referendum campaigns are now shocked that they are been charged tax by hmrc and that they are been charged tax by hmrcandi that they are been charged tax by hmrc and i suspect there will be a few accou nta nts hmrc and i suspect there will be a few accountants heads rolling over this. it's interesting because hmrc,

it is better say they have been quite rocked by the suggestion of brexit, they spoke to the treasury select committee saying they were going to have to hire loads more staff and it would cost them five —— £500 million to cope with the new borders and everything and it would ta ke borders and everything and it would take the many years to implement. it is interesting now that they are chasing this down. it was in september, it was reported by the office for budget responsibility that hmrc had been aggressively going after inheritance tax which is what this is being classed under and it was going to be up 15%, the current action, so inheritance tax is something they are zoning in on. it would apply to anyone who has donated to either of the campaigns? the story says the remain supporter

has also have this, so this is not just leave supporters, so it would apply to both camps. if they are the rules, they are not being picked on. i would say not. and also, they raised the point that this didn't happen with the av vote but maybe something has shifted. however, that said, ido something has shifted. however, that said, i do feel for her hmrc because i have plenty of friends who are civil servants and brexit is a total nightmare for them and they will not have had a veryjolly last year and it is very stressful but the suggestion that that means they are going after this —— these people, but doesn't hold. —— that doesn't hold. yes, that is right. staying with the sunday telegraph, ufos do

exist, says the pentagon's x—files j. exist, says the pentagon's x—files j. who is he really? —— x—files chief. they have described him as the real x—files programme, he says the real x—files programme, he says the case of objects travelling at hypersonic speeds which are inexplicable, has been proved beyond reasonable doubt, so this is interesting, aliens and christmas. -- it interesting, aliens and christmas. - - it says interesting, aliens and christmas. -- it says items that were made yellow macro by any nation or any company. if they are so far away that you can't see them properly, how do you know? he's also resigning, this is his resignation letter and his point is, you have not been paying more attention and you should have given us more money for the projects, but he said it
