11:31 pm
bringing us tomorrow. with me are anne ashworth, associate editor of the times, and the broadcasterjohn stapleton. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. let's start with the financial times who declare relief for may after savage attacks at home. they say the eu is planning to help finalise a brexit deal with the uk ‘senior tories slam boris‘ on the front of the metro after his comments about theresa may's brexit plans are called ‘disgusting' and ‘sickening.’ those divisions inside the conservative party continue on the front of the i — which says four senior tories hit back at the former foreign secretary. the times takes on a different side of the story saying johnson's allies accuse downing street of smears and of waging a campaign to discredit him. boris is back yet again in the the daily telegraph only this time the former minister says theresa may must cut taxes to help britain thrive post—brexit.
11:32 pm
the guardian reveals that the metropolitan police are increasingly dropping investigations into serious crimes within hours of them being reported. a ‘dementia cure within a decade‘ in the daily express. scientists say they are close to a breakthrough that could pave the way for a final cure. and out of the kitchen and on to the street. jamie oliver appears on the front of the mirror after the star chased down a burglar after an attempted break—in at his family home. are not chased down. let'sjust are not chased down. let's just say chased. a number of the papers, inevitabilities tonight, featuring borisjohnson. particular inevitabilities tonight, featuring boris johnson. particular picture. wife knifes honking boris. here he

is, sitting, looking crestfallen in his garden at home. that is him in his garden at home. that is him in his garden at home. that is him in his garden in 0xfordshire. thinking about something obviously very serious. we know not what, of course. the sun is suggesting he is feeling the strain. maybe he is thinking about his divorce. the story q u otes thinking about his divorce. the story quotes his long—suffering wife, as they call it, is set to serve divorce papers as early as today. he certainly created a storm. many people say that any win is a self—inflicted because he has after it. is this genuine anguish? we don't know. is to pose? you would rather be on the front page potentially than not. wu matthew douglas the limelight. —— he does like the limelight. we don't know if
11:34 pm
he is feeling regret or if he is just taking a moment to compose himself because all of his allies wanting to make the big push on now to be in numberten. there wanting to make the big push on now to be in number ten. there are stories running on websites saying there is enough support to him to whisk him into number ten and they have the support of enough people in the tory party. it isjust a moment of repose and reflection before he comes out all guns firing? amusing that sort of language but it's the sort of language he tends to light. ——i am using that sort of language. the same picture is on this paper as well. it says so much about him. this story that accompanies it says
11:35 pm
that 12 mp5 this story that accompanies it says that 12 mps are determined to keep him out. they might even quit the party. how would that help? we can't work it out. we also don't have the whole story. maybe if these 12 people in the tory party like sarah wilson, chairman of the commons health committees, hinted she might be one of them in an interview today. if 12 people have said that they will quit the party if he will become leader. that will cause other people to stop and think a bit about voting to him. i don't know about the procedural detail and how that will come about but it does illustrate that not everyone in the parliamentary tory party are not into it. they are riveted by discord. the headline is boris may cut taxes to help britain in the way
11:36 pm
forward. he doesn't refer to the problems with his private life which have been all across the papers. he is saying that we need to cut taxes and that the average person is too heavily taxed. this is ahead of the budget which may come earlier this year. normally we have at around about november. it is already rumoured, because this is one of the things i write about, that there will be stealth taxes and over that tax rises in the budget in order to pay for social care. is he now trying to go up against the chancellor philip hammond as well, to show that he can basically do any job in government? also in the column he suggests that we should just scrap hsz because it is a waste of money. a lot of people in north england, where i originate from, who will discriminate about that. a lot of people's homes would be torn down
11:37 pm
and suffer a great deal. the real argument for it is about capacity. u nless argument for it is about capacity. unless you have this service to the north and the midlands, we will come toa north and the midlands, we will come to a deadlock on the roads. also, there is a huge amount of outlay already happened. he says basically all the money can be re— dedicated to the nhs. is taking everybody off, isn't he? £350 a week in the nhs. what happened to it? he is taking everybody on. i think he believes he strides his party like a colossus. he has this image of himself as a great here wrote. at the churchill figure and a great figure of classical antiquity. he has a great vision of what he can achieve in his

head and it is driving him onwards. should we move on? lets. boo please. —— please. should we move on? lets. boo please. -- please. i shan't sleep for hours with all the adrenaline. the guardian has an interesting story about the met police dropping more enquiries into serious crimes on the first day. it screened out, that means dropped, 34,164 crimes without further investigation on the day they were reported in the year 2017 competitor is 13,000 begin before. what? they are saying there is no point in investigating. they would bea point in investigating. they would be a multitude of reasons. they don't have the time, the complaint doesn't stand up, how they can say complaint doesn't stand up so quickly, particularly when some of

these complaints are about sex offences or violent attacks, presumably where they have no hope of catching the perpetrators. in defence of the police, what this demonstrates is that you cannot cut the police force, any police force, in the draconian way that this government cut it and not expect there to be consequence. mark simmonds has quoted here that they are not talking about serious crimes and kidnaps, homicides. it is lower level, high—volume offences. and kidnaps, homicides. it is lower level, high—volume offencesm and kidnaps, homicides. it is lower level, high-volume offences. it says serious crimes right here. it is contradicted. you can't cut 40,000 serving police officers and not expect there to be a consequence. i preside over police conference as the years and theresa may said that they would stop crime know what happened. —— stop crime. i don't
11:40 pm
know what happened. look at that. look at that. you caught bat left—handed. he missed that. let's try again. the sackler family. at dili and their family that have given their names to all wings of galleries worldwide. —— and american family. their business is making of opioid painkillers which we know have been responsible far more deaths in america than the vietnam war. the family of course deny that they have caused a widescale addiction through their pharmaceuticals but it seems as if their manufacturer is even more extensive than anybody had bought because they own a second business that also makes these opioid painkillers. this is coming to light
11:41 pm
and this is a story that will be a film. they are ready books being written about it because of the numbers of people that have got wretched lives and also the expense thatis wretched lives and also the expense that is falling on states of having to look after these addicts and look after the consequences, their families, the crime caused. they are trying to move against the sackler family and their businesses and the family and their businesses and the family are denying that they have any responsibility. but they are pitched captioned —— they are prescription drugs. yes but they we re prescription drugs. yes but they were prescribed for minor ailments and not end of life care. it is a hugely collocated issue and i think this story will only get bigger. thank you. the times, for the last two stories, first of all, right wing radicals make big gains in
11:42 pm
swedish elections. these are the sweden democrats. many people say sweden, lovely, liberal, laid—back, swinging place. but yes, they have indeed. they are potentially, at least, the kingmakers will stop the have done quite as well is what they we re have done quite as well is what they were expected to that they will still get 16— 18% share of the vote which will put them in a good position indeed. we were talking earlier. this is not obviously the first country that has gone this way. austria, hungary, italy. the great wave of rebellion against the elites in governments. we seem to have absolutely lost trust in the traditional parties to be able to change things so people are looking to people with a very simple rhetoric, saying, and immigration. that is what the sweden democrats are saying. a political adviser's suggestion was that if the centre—right conservatives take them

into the fold, it will or could have the effect of stopping there arise. you bring them in, make them part of the conversation. bring them into the conversation. bring them into the tent. it hasn't worked in other places. per head of population, they have got more people going to their country planning to go to their country planning to go to their country than anywhere else. country than anywhere else. country with a fairly small population, 10 million. there are huge problems in sweden with crime. then, not the image of the country that we normally have. but they are having to take notice of them, aren't they? putin will be watching this. if this particular group have increasing power in sweden, arguably, luton would eventually attempt to embrace them as well. the

final story in the times. -- to ten. —— president putin. final story in the times. -- to ten. -- president putin. this says there is no safe limit to alcohol. my mrs will remind me about it in the morning. this is duncan selby. a man i have high regard for. the thing i like about this story, he is right, of course, we shouldn't drink every day. we should have a couple of days off each week. it's no good lecturing people. if you do that, they will just ignore lecturing people. if you do that, they willjust ignore you and get rattled. he is absolutely right. he has said it had tipped, not a target. if you are a telegraph reader, you are told you only need
11:45 pm
to have one day off. if you are a times reader, its two! are not going to lie, it's a nice guy. i get fed up to lie, it's a nice guy. i get fed up by to lie, it's a nice guy. i get fed up by the conflicting advice. that is why we do not lead healthy lifestyles, they all contradict each other.
