away by ready player one? find out in the film review. hello there, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me, john rentoul, chief political commentator at the independent and the broadcaster, john stapleton. lovely to see you both here. before we have our little discussion, let's ta ke we have our little discussion, let's take a quick look through those main headlines. we will start with the sunday times, who lead with an investigation on supporters of the labour leader depicting it is as ‘corbyn‘s hate factory.‘ the observer says that leading jewish donors are ditching labour over the ongoing anti—semitism row. the mail on sunday says that mr corbyn faces a revolt from mps over allegations he failed to take action against a ‘wife—beating' mp. the sunday mirror says that the prime minister has
11:32 pm
announced a fund to cover the cost of children's funerals and calls for election watchdogs to resign over what it calls a ‘brexit bias' leads the sunday telegraph. those are the front pages. so let's begin. it is the observer we are starting off with. john stapleton, can you start that one off? the story about a chap who have been a labour party person since 2003 and gave them £1.5 million. he said no longerfeels person since 2003 and gave them £1.5 million. he said no longer feels any connection to the labour party and feels very disappointed at the way in which have dealt with things. he says he has now left the party. all problems regarded by jeremy says he has now left the party. all problems regarded byjeremy corbyn. another story about labour party
11:33 pm
problems not coping with anti— set —— anti—semitism. this has been a running theme with the labour party for so long. the allegation is he has failed to address it adequately. i know he has apologised but many people ‘s —— people say it is too late. that is leading on the observer. i think they have it all to themselves. i haven't seen it anywhere else. they have obviously spoken to david gerard himself. i thought he was a supporter and a donor in tony blair's time, but actually, he did give half £1 million to the labour party in 2014 when ed miliband was the leader. he isa when ed miliband was the leader. he is a recent labour party supporter and he feels he can't be a member anymore. you expect to see more names added to that list? yes, especially if you look at the other headlines in the papers. this anti—semitism row is rumbling on an
11:34 pm
jeremy corbyn, he gave that big interview tojewish news, a long interview tojewish news, a long interview in which he set a lot of the right thing is that he had to say, but the issue is not going to go away. you know i have say, but the issue is not going to go away. you knowl have interviewed him over the years, you know him far better than me. you think he's anti—semitic? better than me. you think he's anti-semitic? no, i don't. butl think he's careless about anti—semitism. he thinks, he agrees with abbott and christine shore craft has just resigned with abbott and christine shore craft hasjust resigned and he agrees with them that the charters of anti—semitism are being used against him in order to undermine him, which is completely the wrong attitude. even if he thinks that is true, that is not what he ought to be saying. he ought to be dealing with the allegations. he has to deal with the allegations. he has to deal with the allegations themselves. recent being all started because he failed to see that the mural in east
11:35 pm
london was anti—semitic and it plainly is. it is nothing to do with israel. that is what christine shawcross said. she didn't even see the pace will post that was involved. —— facebook post. the pace will post that was involved. -- facebook post. having said that, there was a piece in the times, they have done their own poll where 80% jeremy times, they have done their own poll where 80%jeremy corbyn is the greatest thing since plastic rain wear. the headlines continued. they refer to this as a so—called hate factory. both john and i are somewhat sceptical about this. i don't think it is a strong storage in the sunday times. it is a story about 12 senior staff working for aid jeremy corbyn who are apparently members of groups on facebook who are responsible for terrible
11:36 pm
anti—semitic and misogynistic, violent and abusive comments. as far as we can see, no evidence that those 12 members have done it, no evidence thatjeremy corbyn knew about this or condone this in any way and yet we have a headline that exposes his hate factory. having said he had done enough to deal with anti—semitism, this kind of thing is not as serious attack. i am afraid this is an attempt to make a story where there isn't one because is no evidence, asjohn where there isn't one because is no evidence, as john de where there isn't one because is no evidence, asjohn de said, that jeremy corbyn or his people have seen any of these posts. when the news broke that christine shore craft, if we turn to the mail on sunday, the news that she had resigned, there is a hope that that is it, that will draw a line under it. it should have happen straightaway, but at least it is the right thing and it has happened now. so any inside will be replacing christine. we haven't seen the sun
11:37 pm
yet, but the comedian is about a takeover. it is unfair because he is a proper labour party member and he got thejob. a proper labour party member and he got the job. he is serious about politics but it is darkly comic that a comedian will be the national executive. i would hope, a comedian will be the national executive. iwould hope, and i think i've met him once in my life, but i would imagine that in terms of public profile, he will do the party no harm at all because he is articulate, bright, sharp, mrto all this nonsense, used to getting his message across, but they have problems because in addition to christine shawcross having resigned probably too late, they havejohn mann, according to the mail on sunday this morning saying that korman or to expel livingston for the comments he made an saying that as opposed to the 74 also complaints about anti—semitism that he is
11:38 pm
claiming that could be as many as 5000. that is going to take some time. to work through. inclusion, diversity, good news for labour on that front. the sunday mirror is a victory on child burials. it is a trauma of a parent burying a child, but the issue of the cost of funerals have been in the news because they have been a lack of regulation, particular painful when it comes to a parent burying a child and the costs and the grief. so it looks like great news from the sunday mirror. it is a campaign they have been running for some time now. joined with carolyn harris, labour mp who lost her son. eight years old i believe he was. that's right. congratulations to them, they finally persuaded the government. it is not a huge amount of money is
11:39 pm
raised public spending is concerned, but the prime minister has done the decent thing. she set up a fund to help people in the circumstances. people had to take out loans for the funerals of the kids and you have to pay a heavy interest with some of these loan companies. it is disgraceful. parents do not want a child to have a pauper ‘s burial. that is the alternative. it is called a children's funeral fund. that is the alternative. it is called a children's funeralfund. it is said to be announced formally or tom, although some councils have already waived and cancelled that feed immediately. fantastic news there. the sunday times, let's go back to the sunday times. a comparison between london and new york city and the figures we are looking at here are pretty worrying. the first time as far as we know ever that london has more murders than new york and that was february and the expectation is that much
11:40 pm
will be exactly the same and london will be exactly the same and london will again be new york for murders. we are talking stabbings here. probably shootings in new york. and reg retta bly, probably shootings in new york. and regrettably, a lot of these crimes in london are involving young black boysin in london are involving young black boys in rival gangs and you probably remember the metropolitan commissioner the others —— the other day saying it is so feeling they start running rows on the internet and it whips up the excitement, with up, move them into going onto the street and doing terrible things to each other. that is one aspect. it is distressing to put it mildly that we are ahead of new york. do you have children that use social media? yes. how do you pass on the message. my yes. how do you pass on the message. my child is now 30 years old. 0k, grandchildren. no, i am afraid i am withjohn. my grandchildren. no, i am afraid i am with john. my children are grown grandchildren. no, i am afraid i am withjohn. my children are grown up, but the question is siddique khan
11:41 pm
has done some good work on this, get informant gang members —— former gang members to talk to young people in schools and that is the best way of getting their message across. knife crime in the city of london the last couple of years has become an increasing problem and we are now talking about increasing stop—and—search, which you remember theresa may cutback on stop—and—search on good ground is actually that it showed that the stop—and—search was unjustified and didn't result in any consequence. i think they are now going to alter that. the combination is getting a role model who can get the message across. are you boxing fans? no. never mind. let mejust across. are you boxing fans? no. never mind. let me just pass across. are you boxing fans? no. never mind. let mejust pass on across. are you boxing fans? no. never mind. let me just pass on some breaking news boxing fans. we are just finding out that anthonyjoshua

11:43 pm
breaking news. final paperfor tonight is the sunday express. the sunday express is no good. we still owe our peace to the raf. breaking news from 1945. in fairness, they are quoting tom neal when he was only 19 when he took to the skies above kent to defend britain. he says we owe our peace to the bravery today's pilots. they are offering a free spitfire, when a sovereign coin. we can smile. but it is our people who perhaps have all affection for the aria. we all have huge respect for the our af. it is not exactly a news story.|j huge respect for the our af. it is not exactly a news story. i was on air cadet. my son is planning to be air cadet. my son is planning to be a pilot, he is an air cadet as well.
