on meet the author this week it's the young author nikesh shukla, a fierce and funny journey the young author nikesh shukla, a fierce and funnyjourney into the lives of three immigrants in yorkshire. welcome to look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me i have robert fox, defence editorfor with me i have robert fox, defence editor for the with me i have robert fox, defence editorfor the london evening standard and rachel cunliffe, commons and features editor at city am. first off, a reminder of how those front pages are looking. the mailon those front pages are looking. the mail on sunday reporting that the defence secretary gavin williamson has warmed the prime minister that if she doesn't commit an extra £20

million on defence spending that he would vote down at the next defence budget that would effectively be a vote of no—confidence. the express focuses on a letter that has 60 mps urging theresa may to walk away from negotiations and not pay any divorce bill money if britain did not get a good trade deal at the upcoming eu council meeting next week. the sunday telegraph, the conservative mp says that to deal with the housing shortage, britain needs the same level of organisation as when producing wartime aircraft in world war ii. starting with the telegraph. the war spirit to fix the housing

shortage. rachel? the government has finally realise that we've got a housing crisis. i don't know why it is taken so long to realise that. they also finally realised that the age of people who are still renting is rising. it is notjust young people but people in their 30s and 40s who would traditionally be voting conservative and there is panic that if they don't get a move on with house—building then they are going to lose the next election, which is there been repeatedly warned about but it is finally getting into their brains now. i thought we had used up all our world war ii enthusiasm and imagery and rhetoric but apparently no, we need but the same amount into house—building as we do with spitfires, this is according to oliver let win. this is notjust about building houses, it's also about building houses, it's also about building houses, it's also about building land in order to build the houses on. you need to get

the infrastructure right, which is what he is saying that you've also got to relax regulations in places where people actually want to live and that is so politically toxic to the other section of tory voters, those who already own the houses and vote conservative that the government is going to do that is a little bit of a non—story then. yes, we need houses but we need in the right places it will be not good to get. am i pointing at the right... let me show you the front page? that is the headline, there, war spirit needed to fix the housing shortage. do we still have that war spirit?m is not only the stock of housing thatis is not only the stock of housing that is non—existent but the rhetoric stock of world war ii is completely used up and i think it's a bit ofa completely used up and i think it's a bit of a dodgy do. sir oliver is known for his missed timing in

politics. to evoke lord beaverbrook who was the minister of aircraft ididn't who was the minister of aircraft i didn't know were used to have one. he was always seen as a great triumph but it was a command economy which people like hitler and stalin could only streamed about and they built it that way but has rachel says, itjust isn't the time. we've got to have a grand coordinator because, as she was referring, is not in the land acquisition, it is the infrastructure, transportation that he has called into question but wasn't andrew adonis going to be looking into this? isjust going to be another, spitfire production type start soon and this isjust be another, spitfire production type start soon and this is just too late because he is predicating on election 2022i bet we have one before then. i certainly agree with

that. i can't see the government lasting until 2022. that. i can't see the government lasting unti12022. turning that. i can't see the government lasting until 2022. turning to the mailon lasting until 2022. turning to the mail on sunday. it's incredible, gavin williamson, what is alleged that he said. i made her and i can break her. there it is. total house of cards phrase, isn't it? mr williamson is not hiding in terms his political ambition. he williamson is not hiding in terms his politicalambition. he is extremely ambitious. he more or less self promote it, volunteered for thisjob and self promote it, volunteered for this job and was self promote it, volunteered for thisjob and was given it as defence secretary. not quite as big as it once was in the offices of state. he did on the idea that he was going to get more money for defence and

offe nce get more money for defence and offence needs it the gritters is full of black holes for all sorts of reasons that wouldn't have time to go into but i will say two things. one, building a new nuclear ballistic missile force, which is costing over £50 billion at current prices and two, the big air carrier programme, nearly 70 billion out of £160 billion goes on boats and bits that goes with boats, you are in trouble. what is coming up, which is not ina trouble. what is coming up, which is not in a story at all, there is a political angle that i would like to leave to rachel, which i think is very important but there is also a defence strategy angle, which is this. there is a national defence programme due to be announced to be the five—year plan to correct all of this and rightly as the article says, mrs may and philip hammond, he didn't have a very happy run, although he had a long run as

defence secretary, do not like defence and if they've got to spend money on a housing but particular national health service, nyet, no more money that defence. they've got into a huddle and the third person who is very important, saying, perhaps we can all do it all different, can the armyjust be a gendarmerie, these things are seriously been discussed and they canjust go seriously been discussed and they can just go out seriously been discussed and they canjust go out on seriously been discussed and they can just go out on expeditions to help out in disaster relief that they would only operate alongside allies and it is really cutting back. what they have started running isa very back. what they have started running is a very serious thing because they still have two, we can no longer, what does it take for us to be a top tier military power? you need to explain, what have you explain this idea of a top tier power. this is

one the many ways in which britain is seen as being a world leader and particularly post—brexit, what is meant to be leveraged is that we are a top military power, like america, a top military power, like america, a leader within nato. the little angle on this, which i things very interesting is that all of last week we have the nhs, the nhs, did to reason money be able to find extra money for the nhs for a brexit dividend that doesn't exist, because it was written on the side of a bus. this is given gavin williams and the chance to say that if there is more money that you get the nhs, increasing borrowing taxes, i wanted that the military as well. defence has been traditionally more of a conservative cause, the nhs is more ofa conservative cause, the nhs is more of a labour cause, is this is speaking to the heart of the conservative party. gavin williamson claims that he has the supportive

money is not given to defence to bring the government down. to put this into perspective, there is a review coming out, due before the nato summit. top tier power means, in one line, you've got to be nuclear otherwise you get kicked off the permanent five of the security council and you've got to be able to sign about tens of thousands of troops to fight. philip hammond and mrs may think it is all over. turning quickly to the sunday times and many elderly patients gritters died prematurely because of cheap syringe pumps. we were confused because we're still talking about the gosport scandal. were still talking about the enquiry into doctorjane barton. talking about the enquiry into doctor jane barton. it

talking about the enquiry into doctorjane barton. it is a densely written article and confusing to get your head around but what seems to be the case is that these cheap syringe pumps have been used in the past 30 years, banned in other countries, declared faulty and not fit for use. they are used for opioids and it says here, dave's dose could be actively released in an hour. the problem could have been overdosed with a day worth of toast without realising. it's an enormous dump of documents that is difficult to read exactly as rachel said because this easily been tweaked as long ago as 1997 and a phased out the pumps. they give a boost, so putting opiates into the bloodstream and at dave's worth can go in for as long as an hour. i have seen quite a

bit of it on a battlefield but it is the nearest thing to pure heroin you can dish out in medicine. i think you're quite right, it is confusing in the sunday times because a lot of it is focused on gosport but really it's come out in such a bloody rush but it's a much bigger story. they are alleging a nationwide cover—up over the past 30 years and alleging here that this was not given the scrutiny it needed in the report because of the nhs. skipping ahead to the independent, one of our lead story today was the rally of the people's vote. talking brexit basically. do you think they're going to get it? no. no. short

a nswer going to get it? no. no. short answer for going to get it? no. no. short answerfor you. going to get it? no. no. short answer for you. demonstrations, i've moved from broadcasting to print but they are television events. they don't change minds. good picture, exactly, rachel. you can get 100,000 people on the street but you only change minds if minds are open enough and open to persuasion and to be changed and i don't see any minds changing in whitehall and westminster. i agree with that entirely but they mimic is a different point, which is any time there's been a point of brexit compromise in any way, the hard brexiteers in the parliament and in the media have said no we have two on the will of the people and that the phrase with her again and again. what i think the people demonstrating today were trying to put forward is that the will of the people isn't just one put forward is that the will of the people isn'tjust one thing. the 40% of the country who voted the other way are still citizens of this

country. we are leaving the eu but wouldn't do it and try and do it in a way that speaks to the whole of the country rather than the half that voted leave and that these people assistance to and they want their voices heard.
