hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the parliamentary journalist tony grew and the writer and broadcaster caroline frost. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the i says that the environment secretary, michael gove, has apologised for taking cocaine, and the paper reports that it has threatened his bid to become conservative leader. the metro leads on the fact that eight out of 11 contenders to become prime minster have admitted they have taken drugs. the guardian reports that mr gove‘s challenge for number ten is on the brink after his drug—taking admission. the mail takes a slightly different

slant, insisting the beleagured minister is vowing to fight on. gove pleads for second chance over cocaine use is the headline in the times. the independent says that rory stewart, who is also fighting the leadership race, has accused rival borisjohnson of not being honest about his brexit plans. the telegraph leads on mrjohnson‘s pledge to cut income tax rates for 3 million people. and the express claims boris johnson's insistence that he would refuse to pay £39 billion to the eu as part of any divorce settlement has stunned brussels. in the metro, as we were saying, the headline writers have had fun with this. tories go nose to nose. eight out of ii contenders admitting a drugs past still having a crack at the leadership. i see what they did, i would love to have a pun on the word opium, if they can somehow spin

rory stewart's previous misdemeanour in. it has come at a difficult time for in. it has come at a difficult time foer in. it has come at a difficult time for mr gove. i think it is a shame. when you talk about two years ago when he was up against borisjohnson and he said, and no—one has ever disputed his claim that the reason he went it was purely because he could not in conscience support borisjohnson, could not in conscience support boris johnson, and could not in conscience support borisjohnson, and now here we are two years later and borisjohnson is all but a shoe in an michael gove is out on the railings. this judgement 30 years ago, it is all in the timing. had he perhaps when he was justice secretary stepped forward with a wonderful reveal all, tell all, i have committed these crimes myself, i know of which i speak, and this is why i am so firmly against drugs, it is all in the management. richard nixon discovered this, it is not the crime, it is the cover—up. it is the management or lack thereof. that is a really good point. he was called out in a book which has been written by a good

quy: which has been written by a good guy, who works hard on this book. luckily for him he wasn't expecting the leadership to come along at the time when it did but he quite rightly serialised it in the daily mail, and from that moment michael gove was on the back foot in the story hasn't gone away but has gotten bigger. there are questions about whether he will be eligible to enter the united states, accusations of hypocrisy about some of his previousjournalism on of hypocrisy about some of his previous journalism on this of hypocrisy about some of his previousjournalism on this issue... it is on the guardian, as well. is his leadership really on the brink after this issue? two yes, it is. he will be nominated on monday, he will progress in the race, but i think he has been dented by their send by amber rudd's decision to backjeremy hunt, which we will talk about in a second. but this is the nature of these sorts of competitions. cu rve balls these sorts of competitions. cu rveballs come these sorts of competitions. curveballs come out of nowhere. don't forget we had a situation in 2016 when they had the last leadership contest for the conservative party in which boris

johnson pulled out because he was knifed by michael gove, michael gove decided to stand, andrea leadsom within the final two and at the last minute decided not to stand, so these things are full of drama. you mentioned amber rudd, there is more detail about why she is doing that further inside the paper, pages six and seven. she starts to talk about the character, what kind of person we want on the world stage representing us. and that is because amber rudd is what is known as a grown up, amber rudd is what is known as a grown up, and doesn't spend her time talking about tax cuts and how she will not give the eu the £39 billion which has already been negotiated with them. she says in her article oui’ with them. she says in her article our politics has become angrier, our discourse polluted with alternative fa cts discourse polluted with alternative facts and people punished for not complying with a worldview on a

narrow subject. it is about what sort of leaders we want and the sort of toxic political atmosphere they will have to operate in. and beyond who is the next prime minister, who might take us into the next general election, who might be best placed to keep those conservative mps in their seats? this has been boris johnson's great usp, that he has the charisma. we have heard momentum is moving away from michael gove, we don't know who is saying this apart from rival teams are jumping don't know who is saying this apart from rival teams arejumping on it, and a host of national newspaper editors. similarly, when you talk about the general election, boris johnson alone has the charisma. because other people are not given... if you hear that someone is charismatic enough time, they become that. i feel that amber rudd, charismatic enough time, they become that. ifeel that amber rudd, one charismatic enough time, they become that. i feel that amber rudd, one of the grown—ups in the room, similarly rory stewart is a grown up, talking about a life beyond poison and vitriol. the rest of them seem quite happy to continue this bunfight as

long as they are on the right chair when the music stops. i find long as they are on the right chair when the music stops. ifind it disgraceful. the daily telegraph, borisjohnson disgraceful. the daily telegraph, boris johnson saying disgraceful. the daily telegraph, borisjohnson saying he will cut income tax bills for millions, putting the higher rate threshold up. up to £80,000. that is the point at which you start paying 40% tax, from £50,000 to £80,000, and the current threshold is at £50,000 for 40% tax. current threshold is at £50,000 for 4096 tax. it would go up to £80,000, which will be of interest to the telegraph readers and the tiny electorate of conservatives over the age of 50 who will be electing him. it is just nonsense. he says this will cost £9.6 billion but will be funded from the £26.6 billion from fiscal headroom set aside by treasury for no deal brexit preparations, this from a man who has boldly claimed we will leave at the end of october, deal or no deal. imean, it the end of october, deal or no deal. i mean, it is almost farcical that this man is the front runner. let's

look at what else he has been talking about, on the express, boris vowing not to pay £39 billion, stunning the eu, and macron has something to say about it. french president has said, according to one of his aides, if borisjohnson becomes the tory leader and ergo prime minister, and pushes through by hook or by crook brexit on 31 october, without a deal, he is now saying don't worry, that will give us saying don't worry, that will give us £39 billion. where we see this on the back of a bus, i wonder? us £39 billion. where we see this on the back of a bus, iwonder? macron is saying that becomes a sovereign debt default. those are serious, grown—up words, that is the uk reneging on previously negotiated promises with the eu, and this will stand us in very... we hope that whatever happens we will have to make a trading deal with the eu in the future, it is our biggest

trading partner. we will be so isolated we will make north korea look like some sort of swiss hub. it is ridiculous. if he gets to be prime minister, he will worry about that then, won't he? by saying those things, he gets to be prime minister, and he will worry about them and then discover it is not going to work. i won't say hardliners, but let's say some of the most committed brexiteers, people like priti patel, put their backing and their faith people like priti patel, put their backing and theirfaith in boris johnson. he may well be making a lot of promises that he will immediately run into trouble with as soon as he gets into number ten. that is also deeply concerning stock he is already talking about these tax cuts, about how we will not pay the £39 billion, that we will leave at the end of october, deal or no deal. if that happens in the way he portrays it, that will be catastrophic for the economy. he might propose these things and as you say get into downing street and suddenly realise things are a little bit more complicated, immediately losing the trust of people who voted

for him on the basis that he will give them the hardest brexit possible. you wonder whether they have already forgotten how difficult theresa may found it. it seems like a long time ago, doesn't it? and matthew paris set out a damning indictment of borisjohnson‘s time as leader of london in an op—ed. i feel that boris johnson as leader of london in an op—ed. i feel that borisjohnson is not alone in thinking just as far as next week. let's kick the ball up the pitch. as you say, theresa may found it impossible. we haven't heard the word backstop. suddenly it has disappeared. it is still there. all of the problems, all of the irreconcilable ideas, northern ireland, the good friday agreement, they are all still there. they are all going to come back. and anyone talking about negotiations has missed the point. the negotiations between the uk and the eu finished in november. the eu continually say they will not reopen them. i don't

know why people think that if only it was borisjohnson know why people think that if only it was boris johnson these doors would reopen, especially when there isn't a politician in the country who is hated in the eu as much as borisjohnson. who is hated in the eu as much as boris johnson. why? from their point of view he built his entire career oi'i of view he built his entire career on telling lies about the eu. when he was a journalist, and he has fanned the flames of euroscepticism to burnish his own credentials. so the fact that he is not serious, the fa ct the fact that he is not serious, the fact that he to european eyes into many people in this country is not a serious politician. he is funny and makes people but doesn't have the heft required to be prime minister. according to rory stewart in the independent, he is poisoning our politics. and respect to rory stewart for being one of the ones to stand up and say i will not serve under him. he has used more colourful language and some of the other papers but the point he is trying to make is that this guy is lying to you, this guy is a charlatan, this guy will say what he wa nts to charlatan, this guy will say what he wants to say to get elected, and that will put us in a really

dangerous position. rory stewart is one to watch in this campaign. he started from a very low base, his momentum has been building, and there may be a group of tory mps who look atjeremy hunt and think he is a bit boring and managerial and want someone a bit boring and managerial and want someone with a bit more pep and a bit more of an optimistic and to him but isn't from the borisjohnson school of saying whatever you want to get elected. obviously it is really early days and early to predict these things, he might fall out of the competition tomorrow if he doesn't get eight tory mps to back him, but if he gets through the first and second rounds, he is one to watch. and he does seem to have already, this seems a long time ago, but the pro jeremy corbyn further, and if you look further back, you see how president obama mobilise these people. perhaps he hasn't had, as tony said, enough of a run—up. he has only really come to the fore in the last couple of months in terms of serious leadership consideration. the other thing i was thinking about

while tony was saying that is that he is not serious, but we have moved toa he is not serious, but we have moved to a post trump here in politics, andl to a post trump here in politics, and i would like to think that it's and i would like to think that it's a more circumspect than their american counterparts in terms of the electorate. ijust wonder how much of the american sentimental, i am the good guy, i may have millions in the bank, we know that these are rich people, but they masquerade as representing the common man. if you have that recognisability factor, the recognition factor, boris johnson is one of the few mps that can turn up in a shopping centre in the north of england and the west of england and change a room to create an event. i don't know how much that is worth, but clearly it is worth something to the people pushing him forward. people may well want to have a selfie with him, i don't think they want him running the country. they will find pretty quickly that those things are not compatible. if boris johnson quickly that those things are not compatible. if borisjohnson ends up

winning, we're definitely going to the races. it will certainly be fascinating. in the metro sport pages, the lionesses surging to victory. they scored two, scotland came back with one. and their manager, phil neville, wasn't pleased at all. i am liking this method of management, i have to say, because i was method of management, i have to say, because i was never a method of management, i have to say, because i was never a fan of these chest beating theatrics when the england men's team used to kind of...| england men's team used to kind of... ithink england men's team used to kind of... i think accidentally used to draw against someone who didn't have a team two weeks earlier and ended up a team two weeks earlier and ended up in the world cup. i am liking the understated don't count your chickens, don't be chest beating, think about your next game. it is a good victory, a good start to a world cup campaign. and they meet argentina on friday.|j

world cup campaign. and they meet argentina on friday. i wanted to say one thing which is that across the papers there are some cracking images of the team, and different opposition, and it is encouraging that women's football is getting more exposure. this is the first england women ‘steam, i think i am right in saying, that a fully professional. i think it is encouraging that a lot more young people and a lot more people generally are going to see the games. it all bodes well for the women's game. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this evening, tony grew and caroline frost. to buy a paper in the morning, we don't mind which. —— do buy a paper. and from all of us, goodnight.
