to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are nigel nelson, political editor of the sunday mirror and political commentator, jo phillips. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. we almost have an embarrassment of riches tonight! the observer investigates britain's prison system, claiming two—thirds of prisons are providing inmates with inadequate conditions or unacceptable treatment. the sunday express says theresa may has declared there will be "no going back" on brexit. the telegraph leads on claims prominent members of the labour party met eastern bloc agents during the cold war. the mail on sunday has an interview with brendon cox — the widower of murdered mpjo cox — who has stepped down from his role

in two charities after admitting inappropriate behaviour with a colleague. the papers says he has also stepped down from two charities, set up in his late wife's memory. the sunday times says the education secretary is looking at a number of university reforms, including cheaper tuition fees for some courses. and the sun on sunday reports on alleged marriage difficulties between pop stars cheryl and liam payne. a variety of stories for us to mull over. we will start with a story that has been rumbling on. we talked about it last night in a different form. the sunday telegraph, a czechoslovakian agent claims 15 labour mps met with spies. it started with jeremy labour mps met with spies. it started withjeremy corbyn and is now spreading out? among the 15 were john mcdonnell. they said they were absurd claims. it has been called ridiculous. if you put this into context, we are talking about the 19805. context, we are talking about the 1980s. eastern europe was going

through a major change because of gorbachev, the berlin wall coming down in 1989. we used to get in the house of commons a lot of east europeans who would pop in and pop out. you would think, well, some of them may be spies, maybe all of them? you them may be spies, maybe all of them 7 you would them may be spies, maybe all of them? you would be careful about talking to them! but mps did. it would be reasonable for mps to do that on the basis that they wanted to learn what was going on in eastern europe at the time. if jeremy corbyn really thought he was talking to a diplomat, that shows a bit of naivete. you always have to imagine that these people may have been spies. the idea that they could have been passing information across, i'm not sure they had any. or there is no evidence of what they could have done. what could jeremy corbyn in 1986 possibly have provided about the british treatment or secret service to a czechoslovakian agent or spy? and how many other mps from other

parties... exactly. eastern europe was a big politicalfootball at parties... exactly. eastern europe was a big political football at the time. they spoke to all of these people. if you were sensible about it, you always thought that maybe this diplomat is not a diplomat, or whatever. you would be a bit careful but you would listen to them. shall we move on? i think it is a bit of a nonstory. sorry! "yes, iwas a sex pest" confesses jo nonstory. sorry! "yes, iwas a sex pest" confessesjo cox's husband, this isn't quite what he admitted... it absolutely isn't what he says. he is clearly deeply embarrassed. he has resigned with immediate effect from the two charities that he was running, set up in the wake ofjo cox's murder. an astonishing tearful confession in the daily mail. he

does not say that he was a sex pest. he says he knew that there were incidents when he was working with safety children that people feel uncomfortable and it made them feel uncomfortable. i think the story in itself is obviously, for him, a great fall from grace. a public figure with a great deal of public sympathy. he would ofjo cox and the father of their two children. —— of the widow. we hear this time and again. when men say, it wasjust a bit of banter. here, he says he failed to acknowledge at the time how he made people feel uncomfortable but he saw his behaviour as playful rather than predatory. it shows that years later, people can take a very

different view? and in fairness, he ta kes a different view? and in fairness, he takes a different view. while he doesn't go as far as admitting allegations made against him, what he is actually saying is that his behaviour was bad, he drank too much, some people may have felt uncomfortable cause of it. he regrets of that. it shows it can come back and haunt you years later. the statement from the jo come back and haunt you years later. the statement from thejo cox foundation says that the board has accepted his resignation as a trustee, since establishing, they have admired the dedication that brendan has shown to create a positive legacy forjo it was established in 2016 for practical effo rts established in 2016 for practical efforts to champion the cause is that she did. he is taking a step back because he does not want this

to get in the way of all of that. let's stay... we are moving to the sunday times, i beg your pardon. "no screen sex, please. we are actors!" i think at this time of night, it is half term, it must be post—watershed. .. half term, it must be post—watershed... i will only read out the first bit. equity are suggesting they needed a rethink about sex scenes, in rehearsal and protecting actors and actresses. i would have thought they already did that. there is a lovely thing here that. there is a lovely thing here that says when roger moore had to film a sex scene he would apologise in advance to the act was involved in case she aroused him noticeably, which presumably means raising two eye brows which presumably means raising two eyebrows instead of one! and if you did not raise his eyebrows! and if

nothing happened, indeed! we don't wa nt nothing happened, indeed! we don't want to go into the details... perhaps at 11:30pm! but they want safeguarding and probably a chaperone? if you have the safeguards they mention here, you deserve an oscar nomination if you can carry them out! i thought people pretended to kiss each other, i didn't think they really did it. pretended to kiss each other, i didn't think they really did itm the 19505, the bedroom scene meant one that was capped on the floor —— that one foot was kept on the floor... that one foot was kept on the floor. .. there will be an intimacy director. who could possibly apply? staying with the sunday times... where are we at? about seven minutes? six minutes? with better crack on! students to get cheaper places at university... what it

appears to be the case, apparently, is that damian hines, remember the new education secretary, i can tell you what he looks like, this is his first big interview and he is stamping his authority because the government is going to order universities to offer students value for money. they will slash tuition fees for arts and drama and vocational courses. they are the ones that have expanded a lot. they are the cheapest to run and make universities the most money. universities are concerned over the loss of money but i would have thought that kids looking at that and think, the tuition fees are not as high, they will be flocking to do these presumably not very well run courses. it doesn't make any sense at all. but some courses would be cheaper to run. sue universities make more money? universities should not be charging so much...“

make more money? universities should not be charging so much... if one is 5000 and another 7000... there is a lot of arguments that one needs to happen is to bring back the maintenance grant for poorer students to help with living costs. but i seriously think the government is going to announce a cap on fees and they will raise the level of income of which students have to p5y~ income of which students have to pay. and abolish tuition fees entirely. and unleash a wave of new faith schools, a strange expression, to unleash them... and grammar schools. we have been there before. let's have a look at the observer. shock figures revealed the dire state of britain's prisons? they are shocking figures, 68% of surveyed prisons, they provide unsatisfactory

standards. two inside jails prisons, they provide unsatisfactory standards. two insidejails are prisons, they provide unsatisfactory standards. two inside jails are an a cce pta bly standards. two inside jails are an acce pta bly u nsafe. standards. two inside jails are an acceptably unsafe. —— are unsafe. we know that they are not fit for purpose. they had to build a lot more prisons or take some of the 84,000 prisoners out of them, and try other forms of punishment. but you cannot carry on packing more people into jail the way that we are at the moment, and leave them in these conditions. there is little rehabilitation going on. and a huge problem with drugs, particularly psychoactive drugs and increasing levels of violence. what is most damning is not necessarily the observer's and research but lord woolf, he oversaw the strangeways enquiry after the riot in 1990. he says that we are in that kind of territory, back to pre—strangeways times, which is shocking. and jeremy corbyn is under pressure? neil

kinnock appears to be applying pressure? apparently 20,000 labour members have demanded a say on brexit and neil kinnock has halted the exit altogether. it is clear thatjeremy the exit altogether. it is clear that jeremy corbyn will be confronted by some people in his shadow cabinet this week who want him to come clear on whether he wants to remain in the single market and the customs union. from the referendum, jeremy corbyn has never been clear about what his particular sta nce been clear about what his particular stance on brexit is. it has been confusing for labour party members and the rest of the country. what is the point? good question!
