from the home secretary, sajid javid, that brexit will bring back control over the uk's borders. and the guardian focuses on payday lender wonga collapsing into administration, after losing its battle to stay afloat. so, a varied set of front pages, lets see what our reviewers make of it all. it's a story that dominates quite a few of the front pages and when of labour‘s most respected longest—serving members of parliament now resigning. he stunned the political equivalent of exploding a stun grenade and it's pa rt exploding a stun grenade and it's part of this, what is now become a saga of the latest episode and the anti—semitism claims which have convulsed the party for a few months now and show no signs of abating. one of the signs of this is that
10:46 pm
he's articulated this in a very vigorous way, he stopped about labour is seen as a racist party. not one to mince words. the deputy leader, said that this is a wake—up call. the important thing is that some of these papers are saying well, he could be the first of many, there could be many resigning and so forth, this could be, we will have to wait and see because there is another side to this. quite often, the words frank and field are joined with independent—minded and that is a term of abuse. he is also, talking about bullying and intimidation within the party. he has had quite a rough time with this constituency party. it seems so. he said that he has raised this issue for 18 months, theissue has raised this issue for 18 months,
10:47 pm
the issue of intolerance in the kind words used. coupled with the anti—semitism issue, it very serious for the party. and weighing in on that, even though he is framed as a maverick sometimes, it's going to go much deeper with the season coming. this seems to be running. some thought that your paper, the guardian would lead on that, but also the lead on the payday loan collapsing of the company wonga collapsing. i think wonga, collapsing of the company wonga collapsing. ithink wonga, one collapsing of the company wonga collapsing. i think wonga, one was only formed ten years ago and at one point had a capitalisation because they're talking about flotation in they're talking about flotation in the capitalisation of $1 billion. it had a million customers at one point. it was quite extraordinary. asa point. it was quite extraordinary. as a company reminded itself that is guaranteed payday loans. quite
10:48 pm
extraordinary and then, the countdown came, people found this unacceptable what was being done here. quite vulnerable people in the context of austerity being absolutely squeezed. and also, important rules about affordability, you could not loan to people who could not pay back. in 2014, i think wonga at the pay 331 million when they loan money to who would not be able to pay back and changed the landscape and we think that is a very important thing. it's almost, a company that was brought down by a public distrust and disgust really, and a sense. as the article brings up, when the church of england ways anonymously in business, it becomes anonymously in business, it becomes a moral issue and that is when the new rules came in. so for the people
10:49 pm
who work, it's also subsidy company failing and the public interest is also coming through here in terms of the way in which these companies operate. let's look at the front page of the daily telegraph, an interesting case in the supreme court today, breathed partners, a win for them as the headline states. this is where the widowed parents, has only been allowed when you're in a marriage or civil partnership. so having to go into that formal partnership, those partners left with children who are not married are unable to access at a time of their children are at their most vulnerable and they are at their most vulnerable, access the funds that should be available to everyone else. so this is been ruled as a discriminatory human rights, those
10:50 pm
institutions of civil partnerships. things like common sense, if we're looking at the interest of the child and that very horrible sense of the word. a change of the law i suppose following this court case. one would imagine so, the supreme court said that this is usually a bit of a hit that this is usually a bit of a hit that it better be followed through. brexit is never far away from the front pages and they have got panasonic being driven out. to the netherlands. by brexit. quite an interesting story, it seems to be about the potential change to the japanese company that is worried about the potential change in the tax law which means that if we have a different tax regime, then the company would be subject to increased taxes injapan itself.
10:51 pm
there are two things in this that are interesting, ten people will move to the netherlands and then it says, that this could be copied by hundreds of other japanese says, that this could be copied by hundreds of otherjapanese firms and thatis hundreds of otherjapanese firms and that is quite a chilling thing. hundreds of otherjapanese firms and that is quite a chilling thinglj think it is the symbolism of the movement in me know the japanese are traditionally conservative, and the article, and the safe option would be to go to where they not going to be to go to where they not going to be accused of tax havens. and which the uk would make certain corporation tax cuts after brexit, that's what it could be deemed as by the japanese government and then they would face hefty bills, but they would face hefty bills, but they also cite other issues around labour, data, issues were they do not have certainty and that puts... you won't be the end of the world, willett? and of course brexiteers may say this is all part of project

10:53 pm
out of circulation but whether it's 5p. a change of mindset, isn't it? it's not that hard. but it does require a bit of a change of mindset i don't think so,, and as you say, repetition, it can take up to hundreds of years to break down a plastic bag and then you see the importance of this. are we becoming more environmentally conscious are being prodded by issues like this? blue planet has, i think we are becoming more environmentally conscious. we also think it's not that difficult to take the simple steps to make a difference. that difficult to take the simple steps to make a differencelj promise steps to make a difference.” promise we'll look at the prime
