many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. borisjohnson is deliberately stoking up fears of riots so he can invoke emergency powers to avoid delaying brexit, says the observer. meanwhile, conservative mps have warned borisjohnson that the party risks falling into terminal decline if hard—line brexiteers take over, according to the independent. the mail on sunday says downing street has launched a major invesitagtion into alleged links between foreign governments and the mps behind the so—called "surrender act" which could force a brexit delay. meanwhile the express says that borisjohnson has so much support that no matter remainers do to thwart him, voters would back him even if he was injail. and the prime minister announces plans to build a0 new hospitals, says the sunday telegraph.
11:33 pm
the says the sunday telegraph. mail on sunday, anoth probes the mail on sunday, another ten probes remain mps foreign collusion exclusive. penny? this is... sorry, this... would you like henry to make a start? if you feel that we have the buses don't you feel like it's just one long, here we go, here we go... thrive on it. you thrive, i was just go... thrive on it. you thrive, i wasjust thinking, you go... thrive on it. you thrive, i was just thinking, you said go... thrive on it. you thrive, i wasjust thinking, you said earlier at 1030 you said plot, there is a word of the newspapers use. i was thinking, thought, there's another one they only use. we got a lot of porting going on. the water in a bid to going on all over the papers including this which is all about the so—called, although should it that because doesn't feed into a narrative narrative surrender act? 0ran ad —— narrative narrative surrender act? or an ad —— abject capitulation act? it is the ben act. that's not even a
11:34 pm
proper name but it does have a real formal name. this is about how that act came to be passed by parliament and downing street think they have uncovered some plot whereby... this is an act to stop us leaving with no deal. if you doesn't have a deal in three weeks he has to ask for an extension. october 19 is the limit. downing street seemed to have information that an mp spoke to the french embassy about the potential date in the side. i don't think that would meet most people 's bars for foreign collusion and what is not in the story is whether this would be against the law. it doesn't seem so. and what downing street would do if it didn't cover all this, it's a bit late to argue against it. in fact, there is information in this that
11:35 pm
there is information in this that there is information in this that there is the anti—no deal mps have got another trick of the sleeve which is of borisjohnson got another trick of the sleeve which is of boris johnson won't delay brexit unable to find someone else who might do even the common speaker, john balko, full this is a lot of foster but it does tell you the way in which the debate is evolving which is very nasty. there is alone right at the end which is, i think it says eu law has direct effect which is one of the reasons we are living. there are multiple bits of legislation that will play out was up in other words we keep on trying. both sides will keep on trying. both sides will keep on trying. both sides will keep on trying. a reduction of onto the observer. they've also got a 13 page crisis special, democracy and meltdown. right. i'm that tomorrow. prime minister would be of practice mcbride first to avoid the wretched extension. this is the use of civil contingencies act. this is interesting. the ben act, this piece of law which says is no deal, delay.
11:36 pm
does it have any holes in it and one possible hole is if the government can say that such an level of crisis has been reached that we can suspend operations, bring into play something called the civil contingencies act of 2004. which gives the government more powers in the labour brexit spokesman is saying this is the plan to stop this is what numberten saying this is the plan to stop this is what number ten is trying to do, it's trying to warn of rising protests, angry voters, threats to mps and that will allow it to get around what parliament has asked to do. i'm pretty sceptical that the law has that hole in it, but you can see the debate playing out, one side calling about conclusion and surrender, the other say you are effectively fermenting rights on the streets. —— collusion. effectively fermenting rights on the streets. -- collusion. i'm not sure i have anything to add to that apart from as you said... i felt worried for you. you don't need to part.
11:37 pm
voice of the nation. that wary quality, it's not like you. normally iremain quality, it's not like you. normally i remain positive at all times but it does feel, it does feel like to get into some kind of engagement but it might be the beginning of the end. it's to prize fighters after ten rounds the buses and they are almost sitting down and thinking, i've had enough. and we have an election campaign to come. before the end of the year so get excited about that. he was a policy idea... in the sunday telegraph... and a conservative party conference to attend by parliament are still in session. i will build 40 new hospitals has borisjohnson. boris johnson is allowed think the biggest hospital building programme in the generation. that includes {2.7 billion in cash for six hospitals and some cash for more hospitals in
11:38 pm
five or ten years. now, always with this policy announcement there is a question about whether the money is really new, winds are going to be spent? the government also announced money in august so we don't know whether that is additional to this money. but it gives a direction of other toys want to drop about. they wa nt other toys want to drop about. they want to take the wind out ofjeremy corbyn sales by spending money on the sales, they don't want to be as tight as for hammond and to work. the nhs is what the referendum. dogging about money lives trump out. they're also talking about rural hospitals but some of things will be well past. well, who knows? who knows how long borisjohnson will be prime minister? do think it's turning out how he wanted?|j prime minister? do think it's turning out how he wanted? i wonder. do think he gets up in the morning and thinks, great, another day in the office. a bit like wallace and comet. toast pops up and... otherwise it's a hard old slow, isn't it? the telegraph cartoonist,
11:39 pm
just a quick reference to him, looking at the dog which is chasing its tail and it reads... i've got my glasses on. my contact lens are doing very little to help me tonight. reliable is? did you put them in the wrong eyeballs? it's just my age. -- wrong eyeballs? former tory mps, those who lost the wet. i had a quick look about the whip because... don't roll your eyes because it was henry who asked me to check on this. that not sure that's actually true. when i was talking about the whipping, and about the
11:40 pm
tory whips because they were the ones who lost the whip and it is from hunting, it's from 1742 that the term came in and it's about a rallying call for workers in to get eve ryo ne rallying call for workers in to get everyone in to vote in the right way. with the group. and what with the whips like? real whips? were they crops? good point because there are very long whips. and very little crops. 0k, should talk about the actual story? i think we've all that's something. i think this is the battle for the conservative party between people on david cameron's old and of the party, modernise it, reach out, be broader, be nicer and the sort of boris johnson side which is no, basically about going to be hard on brexit, ha rd about going to be hard on brexit, hard on the nhs and that's going to
11:41 pm
be enough to get us over the line and lots of labour says. they are still doing remarkably well considering. yes, they seem to be... this is a point being made on social media tonight. even when social media tonight. even when social media has mocked the prime minister, has mocked dominic cummings, they are doing something right in the polls will stop it's like when twitter was run terribly but managed to be worth lots of money. mark such ait to be worth lots of money. mark such a it was like a clown car into a goldmine. it's a bit in that position. it will be an interesting conference. back to the telegraph. the digital tax? conference. back to the telegraph. the digitaltax? i had conference. back to the telegraph. the digital tax? i had a little bit of homework. excellent, do have some historical fact to of homework. excellent, do have some historicalfact to share of homework. excellent, do have some historical fact to share with us? the u.k.'s digital tax is doomed to failure wants google ‘s chief.
11:42 pm
that's us and were going to do it, it's all very well and good but u nless it's all very well and good but unless you get everyone doing it, with the oecd, the organiser for economic co—operation and development, i mentioned earlier about how much tax google is —— has being paid in the uk and roasted 276 million last year after profits went from 201 million to 246 million. that's 25%. it is 25% of taxable diverted profits. 0k. that's 25%. it is 25% of taxable diverted profits. ok. so is1.4 billion revenue. right, that makes more sense because otherwise they are paying 25% tax which we know they had not been doing. so the government doesn't trust what tech companies other revenues in this country, thinks that is lots of stuff which is apparently sales in either door sales elsewhere which are in fact about uk business relationships. so if you're buying advertising here, it'd been booked
11:43 pm
as british revenue or as irish revenue , as british revenue or as irish revenue, he was getting tax money from that? this is what the new tax adobe to address with big technology companies, they say we take a slight of your revenue rather than allowing you to do this accounting that might ta ke you to do this accounting that might take tax revenue away from us. and google, they normally say, do whatever the law says so don't blame us whatever the law says so don't blame us for low taxes. it now wants to stop a change in the law that would involve paying higher taxes so people can make their mind up about whether their self interest in this or not. the point is that if you do with unilaterally in the uk, it won't make any difference. the body needs to do it was not across the world. but how difficult, when we know how long it takes to sort out trade deals or anything else. anything co—operation.|j trade deals or anything else. anything co-operation. i found the savings review very enlightening about stress referendum is and then the history of the whip. next time, tell us which sought.
11:44 pm
