this week's cinema releases and his thoughts on the best out on dvd. —— on the film review. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are broadcaster, lynn faulds wood and economic advisor to arbuthnot banking group, ruth lea. fantastic to have you back. thank you. i will chat in a moment. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the character of michael gove is called into question on the mail on sunday. it says mr gove wrote articles calling for tougher punishments for drug users, despite himself taking cocaine at the time. the observer says mr gove is battling to keep his leadership campaign alive following his cocaine admission. a michael gove policy pledge is on the front of the sunday telegraph. it says he'll scrap vat for a simpler alternative. boris johnson is the focus

on the sunday times. he says he would withhold the £39 billion divorce bill, until he secured a better brexit deal. meanwhile, the sunday express has an interview with foreign secretaryjeremy hunt, who vows to get britain walking tall again, if he was to become pm. and the daily star leads on the news that the leyton orient manager and former tottenham defender, justin edinburgh, has died at the age of 49. sad news there from the world of sport. ok, lynn and ruth. we will start off with the observer and michael gove grazing many of the front pages. lynn, he is being called a hypocrite. after admitting using cocaine notjust once but several times. back when he was about 30, we guess. there were lots of charges against him, one is for hypocrisy, where he is saying that people shouldn't use this stuff.

there is a wonderful article he wrote 20 years ago that we can tell you about in a moment, which isjust full of hypocrisy. he is hoping by unburdening himself now that that will still make him fit to be prime minister. but he is trivialising cocaine, which is a lethal drug, it kills people. there are all these people trapped in county lines and being trafficked around the country. we have gangs involved. and apparently we use more cocaine in this country than just about any other country in europe. we are serious cocaine users here. he has also said in the past that he was against loosening the rules on cocaine. he is saying a have used it a lot. if he does become prime minister he may not be able to go to the united states. they ban people like him... it is a criminal drug.

who used cocaine. there are two charges against him. one is the hypocrisy. that he had written this article back in 1999 and had a drug fuelled party in his hampstead flat. that very night. according to the daily mail the hypocrisy is staggering if that history. but we have to be sure it is true. is this idea he was criticising these middle classes for wanting to relax the drug laws, which is busily a disgrace or thing to happen. epoxy is the firstjudge. the second is great getting the law, blatantly, on the assumption that somehow he would not get caught. no wonder he has attracted this. people are struggling to maintain and enforce the law. they would be furious if i was doing that. he is making a mockery of the law. let us turn to the daily mail. the word is that it isa the daily mail. the word is that it is a book being sterilised by owen bennett. michael gove a man in a

hurry. he took the drugs in his 305, he wasn't a student. it is candidacy ——as his candidacy a risk? he wasn't a student. it is candidacy --as his candidacy a risk? he wrote 30 years ago where he appears to be saying it is much easier if you are middle—class to cope with this drug. it is less easy if you are in south shields and in hampstead. he said drug use is now officially considered the primary motivation behind crimes against property. if he knew that then he knows that now. was going to say, you were asking if it puts his leadership candidacy at risk, think a lot of people, not just the members of the conservative party who will vote for the next leader will actually be pretty outraged by this. because they will say how did he think he can get away with the law when i can't get away

with the law when i can't get away with a lot. if they break the law than actually the force of the law comes down on top of me. we have all experienced this. i think the people will actually feel quite resentful about the fact he can just carry on and assume he would get away with it. i don't think it is good news for his candidacy at all. in fairness to gove, all the leadership contenders, just about have held their hands up and said we did cannabis and this and that. different circumstances. i'm not condoning it was not i think there are different circumstances. condoning it was not i think there are different circumstancesm condoning it was not i think there are different circumstances. it will be interesting to hear him on this. he will be speaking to andrew marr tomorrow morning on bbc one. in terms of other candidates, using the scottish male, ruth davidson has put her support behind sajid javid.m sounds quite a sensible thing to do. i would put my support behind ruth davidson. she is not in westminster, u nfortu nately. davidson. she is not in westminster, unfortunately. she is an out and out remainer. a matter and asked her if

she was called ruth because her pa rents she was called ruth because her parents could not spell a longer name and she laughed. but there we go. -- roof. is that what happened to you? sajid javid looks one of the possibilities. no doubt about it. at the moment there are about 11 people who want to go for the conservative party leadership. i think quite a lot will be knocked out this week. the first ballot on the 13th of june, thursday. isuspect the first ballot on the 13th of june, thursday. i suspect several will fall by the wayside then. sajid javid has said that he wants to have a brexit by the 31st of october. we wa nts a brexit by the 31st of october. we wants it over. and if necessary a no—deal brexit. i think he is a very a cce pta ble no—deal brexit. i think he is a very acceptable candidate. ruth davidson has said that competency is a must, listening to advice crucial, moral courage and imperative. well, there's so many of them in this race fiow. there's so many of them in this race now. i think he may be the only one

fiow now. i think he may be the only one now who hasn't said he did drugs yet. perhaps he will tell us that. but it's really difficult for anyone to stand up if there's any skeletons in the cupboard. he is going to have to come out and say if he has anything to reveal to us all. and then we will have a better chance of seeing who is left. for me it has got to be somebody who will go for brexit. otherwise the tory party is dead. by the person talking about is on the front of the times. possibly. iam not on the front of the times. possibly. i am not taking sides. theyjust wa nt i am not taking sides. theyjust want somebody who will get us out on the 31st of october. i think three oi’ the 31st of october. i think three orfour candidates. i the 31st of october. i think three or four candidates. i think one of them is boris. mrjohnson. why do we call him cuddly boris? he has been very quiet the last few days. call him cuddly boris? he has been very quiet the last few dayslj think one of them is a sajid javid and the other is dominic raab. boris

is saying he's the man who can save the country from jeremy corbyn and nigel farage. what does he say about how he is going to do it? he is going to... it is the land of milk and honey again. he says lots of things. i was going to say... he is going to hold onto the 39 billion that we are supposed to be giving the eu... are we sure about that number? 39 billion. it is 39 billion. give or take the odd hundred thousand. that is the divorce payment. he is going to hold onto that. he is going to scrap the northern ireland backstop. tweets, tweet, tweet, tweet. there are lots of promises in here. he will step up preparations for no—deal brexit... that is sensible. you kind of hope they have been doing that the last three years. we are still in the

same shambles. he thinks he can come in now and it will suddenly all change. he is not going to just scrap the backstop, which is a fa ntasy, scrap the backstop, which is a fantasy, to be honest, because it means renegotiating the withdrawal agreement and barnier has essentially said forget about it. you are not going to be in the business of renegotiating the withdrawal agreement by the 31st of october. are we talking about an extension? i think we are talking he is saying out on the 31st of october. gove is saying there should be... most of them are saying out on the 31st, with the odd negotiation. mr johnson, the 31st, with the odd negotiation. mrjohnson, as i'm now going to call him, because we shouldn't make him too cuddly, a conservative mp... she doesn't like boris. they said that his colleagues should look into him all the things matthew parris says

he is. he suppressed the daughter he fathered, lying... we are going to see a lot of dirty laundry coming out. people have to draw a veil over that if they want to vote for him. out. people have to draw a veil over that if they want to vote for himlj don't know how true that is. i think boris is obviously at the moment the front runner. it is his to lose. he has the most mps backing him at the moment, that is my understanding. traditionally at conservative party conference is a contest, it is never the favourite that wins. maybe that is why he has been so quiet, take the attention of him. i wonder why he did it at the sunday times when his paymasters are the sunday telegraph who seem to be with gove at the moment. the economic manifesto was with the sunday telegraph. the telegraph pay him £270,000 per year. the telegraph

would be seen to be independent. where is the times would. let's take a really sharp corner and go to the front of the sunday telegraph. a story that might surprise people, but really this has been going on. illegal chimpanzee meat on the menu at uk weddings. yes. yes. what are the concerns? there are two concerns. you the concerns? there are two concerns. you are the concerns? there are two concerns. you are dealing with threatened or endangered species, the fact that these poor animals are being killed and brought to this country is bush meat is threatening their existence. the second one, there is apparently, according to this article, a real risk of spreading diseases because of the unsanitary conditions in which these poor animals are kept. they are so similar in theirgenetic poor animals are kept. they are so similar in their genetic make—up to humans. and also, apparently the trading standards in this country, found chimpanzee meat being used

eight years ago. and why we are just getting to grips with it now i don't know. apparently it is a special thing at weddings. we didn't have it at my wedding. laughter. iam amazing at my wedding. laughter. i am amazing it through customs. a really am. part of the process is they smoke it. it is served as a delicacy. you may remember there we re delicacy. you may remember there were connections oi’ delicacy. you may remember there were connections or questions about the spread of ebola, because some of this me, especially chimpanzees and bats may have been contaminated with the ebola virus as well —— meat. that is the risk of spreading disease. they make the point it is not just the unsanitary disease. they make the point it is notjust the unsanitary conditions, it is the genetic make up, which is close, i think 98% of genes. we have dramatically cut back on trading standards as well and their ability tojust meet. with my watchdog background, ten years, i have had a lot to do with the trading standards office rs over lot to do with the trading standards officers over the years. it is very

difficult for them because it
