11:30 pm
includes people in the police services, you know, for whom it may be very dangerous there addresses being in the world for them —— their addresses. and obviously politicians, although clearly most people may know where they live. and celebrities who have received abuse, very nasty abuse online. it made me feel deeply uncomfortable about their address being feel deeply uncomfortable about theiraddress being in feel deeply uncomfortable about their address being in the public domain stop by the information commissioner is going to take quite an interest in this. information commissioner has two hit them with a very heavy fine. this is basically a spreadsheet that was put out online. there are over 1000 people on the honours list and many, many, many of them have their home addresses out there. and, actually, ithink... i have toned down honours on occasion and the last one about three years ago andi and the last one about three years ago and i would be so annoyed if my home address was now put out there ona
11:31 pm
home address was now put out there on a spreadsheet and counter—terrorism people... there area counter—terrorism people... there are a lot of very sensitive people who don't want home addresses known and who's going to look after them 110w and who's going to look after them now and make sure they are safe? other beliefs going to do that? the police are understaffed already and 110w police are understaffed already and now they've got potentially a loss of people that are going to need to be seen and given some advice on how to keep themselves safe. this has made the front of the sunday telegraph as well. new year's honours land as recipients' addresses are published online. it does say they don't know exactly how many times this document was downloaded. because it was removed, but some people in the meantime may have had the chance to download it. you don't even need to download. you just take snaps of it and you have got the lot. they said in the telegraph it might been up there 90 minutes. we don't know how it was up
11:32 pm
there, but what a terrible blunder. always embarrassing when the government blunders when they are the ones who brought in tough new data protection rules. well, quite, i think data protection rules. well, quite, ithink i'm data protection rules. well, quite, i think i'm right in thinking gdpr is an eu initiative. which is what they will be in breach. what is interesting is there is a set pattern that is carried out every yearin pattern that is carried out every year in terms of the release of this. it's not as though this is something they have done for the first time. the former head of the civil service is saying that in our paper. given how many years this has been going on, is a very established system, and for it to have gone radically wrong is very strange. this suggestion is, in the times, that the permanent secretary at the cabinet office, mark sedwill, may see himself being relieved.|j cabinet office, mark sedwill, may see himself being relieved. i hope this is another nail in the coffin ofa this is another nail in the coffin of a red deerjealously outdated honours system. i love honours, but
11:33 pm
i couldn't except when we have the empire attached to a —— ridiculously outdated. they don't believe we have an empire. i'm still in solidarity with black people with slavery who backgrounds don't accept them because they don't feel they can. there's quite a number of people who don't accept them and normally we don't accept them and normally we don't talk about them. i'd decided to say i've turned this down and i think more of us should say i have turned this down until the system gets better, because not only do we not have an empire, i think i was ranting earlier and they will rant ain! ranting earlier and they will rant again! donors to the conservative party this year, there is a piece of research was looking at, that says there is something called leaders' club. and almost one in five of them, and they donate £50,000 each to the conservative party, but —— plus the other donations they give, some have given donations of 3.5
11:34 pm
million, 6.5 million, i think i saw, over the last ten years. this is huge sums of money and nearly one in five of them is getting an honour? and these are big honours. this is sirs and barren. you think there is too much of a good pro quo behind the scenes? i think there should be a serious review. i think this should be investigation. i think they are talking about lord evans, was it, going to investigator, who used to be m15. we need to have an honest look at the system and say honours are lovely, but at the moment too many people at the top of oui’ moment too many people at the top of our people who are from, probably public schools, i went to state school, and we have to somehow or other reach out to get more normal people involved in awards. and the other thing that really got my goat
11:35 pm
was the sirs, their wives then become lady whatever their surname is, you can't keep your own surname and become lady, and dame, which is equivalent, are no lovely people who have received it, they don't get to give it to their husbands. so if i became dame whatever my name is, my husband john stapleton would still bea husband john stapleton would still be a commoner. plain old john. thank you, lynn. that's my rant! and of rant. she is given as the heads up. not at all. it is good to have your view on that. we stay on the sunday people, rosamund, jeremy corbyn ellaz cussed out on frontrunner to lead labour. this is about rebecca long—bailey. lead labour. this is about rebecca long-bailey. rebecca long-bailey was considered the heir apparent to replace jeremy corbyn from the hard left. laura peacock before the general election was believed to be
11:36 pm
in the running there, but she lost her seat. however, there are doubts within that part of the labour party about how popular or well— known rebecca long— bailey about how popular or well— known rebecca long—bailey is. she does relatively well with focus groups from what they understand, but simple —— people simply don't know who she is, generally speaking. and she doesn't have... i think this is one of the problems labour has generally, when you look at the field of candidates, it is wide, there are a lot of people, but they don't have the background in politics. they don't have the years of experience. kier starmer was obviously very experienced as head of the crown prosecution service, so he has had a great, successful career, for example, that he is actually relatively new for politics. he has only been an mp for four years. so you have got people, if they have a sense, it is not a political one. ian labrie, this story notes, who was the pro—brexit chairman of the party, as told friends that he might consider throwing his hat in the ring. he is
11:37 pm
obviously of that hard left section of the party. he is waiting to see whether rebecca long— bailey of the party. he is waiting to see whether rebecca long—bailey can get the support and what her vision for the support and what her vision for the party is and how it goes about rebuilding. now that would split that section of the party in terms of who they would. and, actually, even despite the fact we have had two general elections with jeremy corbyn as leader now, labour hasn't radically changed. it has shifted a bit to have more corbynite mps in it, but it has not shifted as much as you might expect. there are still as you might expect. there are still a lot of moderates in there. give us a lot of moderates in there. give us a quick comment on that. the big problem they have is you have boris johnson, who was a personality, recognise, people want to have the self is taken with him, i don't think rebecca long—bailey would have a queue of people taking the selvie with her. they need to find somebody who has got personality and can get the party galvanised. let's try and
11:38 pm
get away from extreme left. the party galvanised. let's try and get away from extreme leftm the party galvanised. let's try and get away from extreme left. it will bea get away from extreme left. it will be a story we will run and run over the coming couple of months. another story that will run all year, of course, lynn, is brexit. the sunday express, eu will lose brexit trae del 5—8. express, eu will lose brexit trae del 5-8. it express, eu will lose brexit trae del 5—8. it is the eu who will come out the wrong side of this trade deal negotiation, they say. well, you know more than ideal on this one. we couldn't find page four online. they don't have much of this story. there isn't much there. they are saying that two senior european politicians are saying that, actually, the eu will be the loser. obviously we should note this is in the sunday express, the most brexiteer of all the newspapers by some way, probably with the telegraph. from what they believe, obviously we don't have this section of the story, butjournalists obviously we don't have this section of the story, but journalists talk,
11:39 pm
i think these are people in hungary who have sort of suggested that the airyou who have sort of suggested that the air you should be pushing for a deal. the other side of this is what borisjohnson is deal. the other side of this is what boris johnson is theoretically planning to do, which is to strike a trade deal in an extraordinarily short time, is one, unprecedented, two, likely to mean he has to give into the eu and the lot. boris johnson is awfully good at passing off what would be to anybody else a loss as a victory, however... defeat from the jaws of victory.|j loss as a victory, however... defeat from the jaws of victory. i was suggestive they want to stick to this impossible seeming timetable... suggestive they want to stick to thi has jossible seeming timetable... suggestive they want to stick to thi has said ble seeming timetable... suggestive they want to stick to thi has said he seeming timetable... suggestive they want to stick to thi has said he won't ing timetable... suggestive they want to stick to thi has said he won't extend. table... suggestive they want to stick to thi has said he won't extend. it ble... suggestive they want to stick to thi has said he won't extend. it isa... he has said he won't extend. it is the end of 2020. then we're giving it almost everything. giving in or going off a cliff. i've have always suspected the intention was to give a hard brexit. it is no deal. it is a hard brexit. it is no deal. it is a different kind of no deal if we
11:40 pm
leave at the end of 2020. they said die you can't afford to be hardline and they are the ones who are going to have to compromise, because the something european economy, that is their take, possibly to be taken with a pinch of salt as rosamund points out. lynn, the independent, a totally different story. 19,000 children fall victim to grooming. alarming figures in their growth of this crime. terrible figures. the independent is online only now and they warmly recommend people to have a look at it. because this is a story that hasn't been picked up anywhere else and it is absolutely terrible. 19,000 children are being groomed. and when you look at the cow, groomed. and when you look at the copy, which we were able to get, there is a labour mp, sarah champion, a labourmp there is a labour mp, sarah champion, a labour mp for rotherham, she is saying that child grooming remains one of the largest forms of child abuse in this country and this
11:41 pm
long article has got... there are basically two types of child grooming now. there is what happened in herarea and grooming now. there is what happened in her area and rotherham and rochdale, where there were high—profile cases of older blokes grooming these young girls, teenage, preteen age, with drink, drugs, often these were children from deprived backgrounds who were given a drink, drugs, a ride around, a lot of them are taxi drivers as well, and then there is also grooming by similar age and then there is also grooming by similarage groups, so and then there is also grooming by similar age groups, so it is boys in the same age groups as these young girls who are also grooming them. and there is a whole this year of the kind of areas of the country where the worst of it is happening. the highest number of children being groomed was lancashire, followed by birmingham, followed by surrey. it was quite surprised sorry has got so many. bradford and gloucestershire.
11:42 pm
and the combined totals of leads and neighbouring bradford had got again highest numbers, up to 649 a year. these are astonishing numbers to me. and these are the ones we know about, was, they also make the point that campaigners are saying the two figures are actually higher, because they may not actually be the worst places, they are the places where most cases have been found or reported. of course we may not have shone a spotlight on other areas where this is happening. and 7 million has been put into organisation supporting survivors of child sex abuse. 7 million won't go my when you have so many involved. we must move on to allah story. returning to the sunday telegraph. we touched on the new year's honours, but their main story is police using a aytek with what they call troubling secrecy. there will bea call troubling secrecy. there will be a review into the transparency
11:43 pm
around this. what are we talking about with a aytek here? here we are talking about what public and government agencies are actually going to use. the artificial intelligence they use to fight crime. and we know that some of the software is already being used and we know, as well, and this is one of the elements that is flagged up in the elements that is flagged up in the story, that technology or algorithms or automated systems can have bias is built—in, so our own prejudices get built into them, so for example many companies who have used this technology find out that technology is racist and sexist. and there is a danger, obviously, that when the police use these things to police us they end up reflecting those bias is in the systems and we honestly know that the police have complaints about their treatment of people from ethnic minorities already, so this could perpetuate a problem that already this and in fa ct wa s problem that already this and in fact was annette. we are out of time
11:44 pm
