in the film bringing us tomorrow. with me are entertainmentjournalist and broadcaster caroline frost and author as well! and the parliamentary journalist tony grew. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the telegraph leads with claims that theresa may is considering amending the good friday agreement to solve the brexit deadlock. the ft doesn't see it that way though, they say theresa may is now on a collision course with parliament after refusing to shift her position to secure a brexit deal. and our third paper sees it a third way — the times says theresa may will focus on securing changes from brussels to win over rebel conservatives and the dup. the express meanwhile focuses on a warning by one tory minister to pro—eu mps that they should not attempt to hijack brexit, by delaying the withdrawal procedure. the daily mail reports that millions of women are putting their lives at risk because they are too embarrassed to take tests for cervical cancer. the guardian has an

investigation that claims spice girls t—shirts sold to raise money for comic relief‘ were made by women in a bangladesh factory earning the equivalent of 35p an hour. and finally the sun has more of an exclusive interview with tv presenter ant mcpartlin about the aftermath of his drink driving car crash. theresa may blames called in after cross— party theresa may blames called in after cross—party talks fail. theresa may blames called in after cross-party talks fail. the impasse was around the fact that the labor party wa nted was around the fact that the labor party wanted the prime minister to ta ke party wanted the prime minister to take no deal off the table. there probably is going to be a

concession, she won't discuss with the labor party the idea the idea of a customs union. because it would affect trade. she is doubling down and watch appears to be focusing on, with the support of the dup, which ignores the fact that there is a whole flock of reporting, just as committed to voting download deal into a probably not going to be convinced by whatever she thinks. i do find it really annoying and upsetting as a voter that this conversation is focused on the conservative party not what's best for our country. i'm a little bit sick of hearing what theresa may is going to do. that's been the case with brexit since before the referendum. it was supposed to resolve divisions with your full shop she went into an election in
11:34 pm
2017. that made her dependent on the dup who are now hoping with a party of 10am ——io dup who are now hoping with a party ofioam ——io mps dup who are now hoping with a party of 10am ——io mps having an outside influence on the united kingdom negotiations. pm turns to brussels would help of a backstop. we are just going around in circles, this groundhog day. there are some strange bedfellows emerging. i'm finding this quite laughable. theresa may after a record—breaking week humiliating vote seems to be carrying on, turning into different ports in the storm. we heard that the snp are going to dismiss anything that doesn't include a second vote and heard about the labour party saying, don't even talk to us and now he/she is looking to
11:35 pm
jacob rees—mogg who was her very courteous assassin less than a month ago. when was that no—confidence vote? he wanted her gone. now she saying she is relying on that wing. under politics is meant to be pragmatic but you're meant to have an ideology that are pleased to have an ideology that are pleased to have a token attachment to. on the telegraph, pm's plan for the good friday deal could be rewritten. i was not a political warrior like my colleague here. even those dawn meetings we saw, tony blair. will there be a deal? it was an emotionally sensitive time and they cracked it, it was seen as a history making achievement of harmony and we have seen that peace has been there for the most part of her to say,
11:36 pm
whatever needs must, it must be very facetious. what is proposed? according to this report, rewriting to make sure that the uk is committed which is the whole point of the backstop. what was originally supposed to be only northern ireland and then because of dup x —— and objections that extended to the whole of the uk. the idea that theresa may with no majority thinks that she has the authority to try and turn to the irish government and say she wants to open one of the most cherished and hardfought international agreements, most cherished and hardfought internationalagreements, i most cherished and hardfought international agreements, ifind almost insulting at this stage of the process. this is a woman who spent two years negotiating with the
11:37 pm
eu and hasn't even managed to convince her own party. the fact that she can go to the irish government and talk about renegotiate is for the birds. the reason why there isn't much about the border in the good friday agreement is because that was signed on the assumption that the uk and ireland would remain members of the european union. there is no need to do that. this will come down to whether or not all of the political parties think this is a good idea andi parties think this is a good idea and i strongly suspect they didn't. mps plot to delay leaving day. this is an amendment put by dominic grieve which would mean we wouldn't have to leave by the end of march. her plan b. mps will be allowed to put amendments forward and we will be expecting one from nick boles, we
11:38 pm
are expecting one that explicitly rules out no deal and we are expecting one that will allow us to extend the period with the permission of the eu. to have an extension of article 50. we expect them to, given britain has gotten themselves in such a pickle. asking if we can have more time because a p pa re ntly if we can have more time because apparently two years wasn't enough when she was told at the start of the process it wouldn't be enough. it will come as a surprise to the eu if we ask for more time but this is from our cabinet minister saying, don't hijack brexit, we have to leave, even though we don't have legislation in place. the i expands on this, mps plotting to take control. that is what amendments floor. we are used to seeing it ordinarily went out unpopular. they are never this high—profile. this
11:39 pm
does seem to have turned into, it's all about the wording. its amendments, but it's being called treason, plotting in the corridors of westminster because they had to consult with the clerks of parliament whose job it is to advise them on instruments of power they can wield. i find it rich, when they been given the time to do it because theresa may has been kicking the ball into the long grass and counting down the clock. it's an easy accusation, remember that talk, we are going to have the vote. here we are going to have the vote. here we are going to have the vote. here we are again. they could have voted to the dealership put forward and that would have ruled out no deal. majority support in the irish commons. . . majority support in the irish commons... the independent looks the sort of, the impact of this. it's not just sort of, the impact of this. it's notjust some kind of esoteric
11:40 pm
a bstra ct notjust some kind of esoteric abstract idea of parliamentary process and procedure but this is how it's going to affect eu citizens facing a crisis bigger than windrush. mps who have to deal on a daily basis with the incompetence of the home office are the most concerned. windrush is an example of a systemic problem with immigration cases not being dealt with properly, losing documents. there is a scheme in which approximately 3.5 million eu citizens, particularly children who live in the uk, will be allowed to register and pay £65 for the privilege of doing so, so that they can apply as it were to remain in the country in which they already live. that is in itself controversial. bureaucracy will not be able to deal with that. proving caroline that you actually have a right to have this status. the
11:41 pm
windrush was obviously a huge scandal last summer when amber rudd had to go. here we are again i have a friend who works in the home office, in liverpool hq. there are people with good intentions. nobody wants to throw somebody out of this country willy— nilly. i'm wants to throw somebody out of this country willy—nilly. i'm sure there are some people. nobody at the home office is charged with that brief, indeterminate extermination of well—meaning indeterminate extermination of well— meaning taxpayers. indeterminate extermination of well—meaning taxpayers. however proving it will be a huge grey area. so many individual circumstances. the backlog is mind—boggling. so many individual circumstances. the backlog is mind-boggling. there are people who contribute to taxpayers. in the end, they decide
11:42 pm
they just want to leave. that taxpayers. in the end, they decide theyjust want to leave. that is something ifind theyjust want to leave. that is something i find really theyjust want to leave. that is something ifind really concerning. the daily mirror, the queen is sorry, the daily mirror, the queen is sorry, no the daily mirror, the queen is sorry, no word from philippa. the suggestion the royal family hasn't handled the aftermath of the crash in sandringham well. we haven't heard from prince philip. yes, he was a car but again, he is 97, retired from public life. people would be pretty happy to get a personal message from the queen. there is no question the royal family are lacking in concern. the queen sends all sort of private messages bigger about later. i would guess this is perhaps tangled up in some legalese. we know that even a sorry can be registered as an admission of guilt. you are told not to say too much. i'm sure there are some very busy people both legal and there are helpers working this out but it's become a huge story because
11:43 pm
of the aged shipments to still be driving. and it was a big bad pr stunt to have as car delivered the day after. at some of these things could be handled more discreetly but prince philip has had 70 years of bad pr, this will not shake him any more. and he is still driving, will but without a seatbelt according to reports. he was photographed without a seatbelt. i think the police had a word with him about that. i would love to have been it. right, the times. count sugar cubes in maths to cut obesity, instead of apples and pears. i remember counting wooden blocks. that's why you are so small. i never took to eating them. public health england advice, saying in maths lessons, people will work out how many grams of sugar there are in a can of fizzy drink or a bowl of
11:44 pm
cereal and in english letters, writing a persuasive letter against consuming too much sugar. nannie state gone wild or an appropriate response to the fact that a third of pupils in primary school are overweight or obese? it would be great think it worked but you need a range of different ideas. when i was a kid, my childminder sent me off to the shop with a pound. she was a tyrant. she asked me to get six cans of tab order. she was on a perpetual diet. it was a can of tab, one calorie, 6p. i had to give back the change, a strange time. but i have never forgotten that song. so i'm wondering if there is something in this, just because it will become an absolute default setting and if it also has, that's over the bar of
11:45 pm
health requirement, i was never given that information. i remember my daughter coming home when she was five and she told me that day she had achieved her learning objective, so there are all sorts of things they do pick up if you put in an early enough. that's what i'm thinking. finally, the sun, dec‘s anger at his drink—driving crash. he had been off the tv for a while back through additions for britain's got talent. yes, so it is dec week, so we have had full coverage for anyone who has missed any atoms of this story. they are extremely without equal in the popularity stakes in this country, so this will be people
