10:41 pm
what guts it takes to do that. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the business journalist john crowley, and the head of news at huffpost uk, jess brammar. let's take a look at some of tomorrow's front pages. the guardian leads on calls for tory mps to unite around the prime minister ahead of borisjohnson‘s speech at the conservative party conference, seen by some as laying the groundwork for a possible leadership challenge. it's a similar story
10:42 pm
on the front of the i — which goes with the headline "moment of truth for boris". the times leads on brexit, with reports that theresa may is preparing to keep the uk in the customs union until a solution to the problem of the irish border is found, in what the paper calls a significant concession to the eu. the daily express says british citizens can expect radical tax cuts if the uk leaves the european union without a deal. the daily telegraph splashes on new plans by the government to ensure that patients who visit their gp with possible signs of cancer get a diagnosis within three weeks. the metro says rail passengers will be soon be able to claim compensation for delays with just one click on their smartphones in new proposals set out by the transport secretary. the independent leads on claims that thousands of women in their middle years are being left destitute by a rise in the state pension age. and the financial times reports
10:43 pm
on general electric‘s decision to replace its chief executive. so, a varied range of front pages, but let's be honest, the headlines are full of boris, and full of conservative party warfare. jess, let's start with the daily telegraph, and boris johnson let's start with the daily telegraph, and borisjohnson warning the tories not to "ape corbyn", about taxes to fund public services. yes, though this is not boris' speech tomorrow, it is not part of the official conference programme, it isa the official conference programme, it is a fringe event, which is expected to be attended by 1000 people. we are in a situation where his friend is probably going to be the main event of the conference, far more watched by people than the prime minister's speech herself. ——
10:44 pm
is fringe. he will stand up and say that she should not be apeing corbyn, she has been accused of stealing labour party policies because the public has responded well to higher spending. they are pledging tax rises to put more money into the nhs, and he is good but very clear water between what her government is doing what he is suggesting by saying that actually, we shouldn't be going after those policies, even if we can see that they are popular with some members of the public, we should stand our ground and be a sort of proper right—wing conservative government. john, interesting picture as well, isn't it? boris wandering through the wheat fields. well, we think this may be more than boris innocently going on a job. theresa may famously said the naughtiest thing she had ever done was run through fields of wheat. i am not sure if these are fields of wheat, but boris may be making a political point himself. and he is turning up
10:45 pm
fashionably late again to the party, and we know boris johnson likes to party, doesn't he? i think he is also having a pop at philip hammond, the chancellor, as well, who spoke earlier today. as jess was saying, the tory party has pledged £20 billion by 2023 into the nhs, and what he is kind of floated, what philip hammond has floated over the la st philip hammond has floated over the last few weeks, it is that he will get taxes, particularly this being a freeze on tax duty for the last eight years, which could bring in lots of money. the freeze on fuel duty. the freeze on fuel duty, yeah. so they're looking down the silver for money here. what boris is saying is that we shouldn't look to ape corbyn, and it is agreed thatjeremy corbyn, and it is agreed thatjeremy corbyn give quite a good speech last week at the labour
