10:35 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are daisy mcandrew from talk radio and andy silvester, deputy editor at city am. tomorrow's front pages, starting with. ‘tories revolt as voters turn on cummings‘ reads the front of the telegraph, as more than 35 conservative mps call for the uk prime minister's chief adviser to resign. on the front page of the i, reports of a public backlash over the borisjohnsons‘ support foercummings — as the prime minsiter‘s approval rating plummets.
10:36 pm
‘hancock‘s half hour‘ on the front page of the metro, which reports the health secretary announced a u—turn over lock down penalties in the downing street press conference earlier — only to be slapped down soon after by the treasury. ‘housing estates will face new local lockdown‘, reads the front page of the daily mail — the paper reports that schools, hospitals, offices and even housing estates will be subject to local lockdowns under plans to contain flare—ups of coronavirus. on the front of the financial times, hopes of a speedy economic recovery with a photo of new york governor andrew cuomo ringing the opening bell at the new york stock exchange, which has reopened after two months. turning our attention to a couple of international papers, the japan times reports on praise from the world health organisation, which has described japan‘s fight against coronavirus
10:37 pm
as a ‘success‘. and the philippine star reports that the country‘s president duterte is wary of re—opening schools for face to classes until a vaccine has been developed. so, let‘s begin. welcome to you both again. daisy, just talk about the plunging and support for boris johnson since just talk about the plunging and support for borisjohnson since the story broke on friday. at the extraordinary thing about what an impact this has had. in a time where you think that most of us have gotten better or bigger things to worry about than whether dominic cummings broke the rules are not, it is absolutely not the case that most of us think we‘ve got better things
10:38 pm
and many of us are actually quite obsessed with dominic cummings we look at the polls, you can see that is the case. normally, people like you and myself are totally out of touch with at the public think and we are in our little westminster bubble. the polls seem to suggest that everybody has an opinion and that everybody has an opinion and that most peoples opinions is falling and both of the governments handling of coronavirus and of dominic cummings and borisjohnson and his own poll ratings have gone down 20 points which is significant and since the story broke. the colonel of it, the number is this issue of hypocrisy and referred it so issue of hypocrisy and referred it so many times before, one rule for them and another for us most of us are doing our best and stay at home. people knew of him before everyone knows about him now and just looking at the drop of 20 points. that is
10:39 pm
huge. i think the last time it happened was with gordon brown. andy, can you hear me? absolutely. dominic cummings is not a normal adviser, he has been part of the dismissal, effectively, and various aids and they have had documentaries made about him and this is an extraordinary time for the government and as we enter day five of this bizarre test match between the media and the public and government showing no signs of moving on, does not look like mr cummings is stepping down from his position it does not look like anyone is stepping away from their support and what does this mean for the government ability to tell the public what to do when it comes to the next stage of lockdown restrictions? what is it also say
10:40 pm
about the power of the other cabinet members have been discussions about the prime minister. the telegraph, reporting about the tories revolt and six members of the cabinet also believes he should resign. have they mentioned this to borisjohnson? believes he should resign. have they mentioned this to boris johnson? as he was saying, yep this test match, this battle of wills of the government seemingly quite prepared to move on as if nothing is happening. and this belief that they really think that this is going to blow over and it will eventually be forgotten and that of us know whether or not that is true, that is what they thought when they‘re in their brakes negotiations and the same tactic if theyjust keep added no matter how unpopular or how many newspapers are telling us or how many courtjudges criticise us, we just keep at it. and stick to our guns will get there eventually and i
10:41 pm
do wonder whether there is a similar blood mindedness at the moment that this too shall pass. and six cabinet ministers are saying that they should go and various other former ministers that they have mentioned in telegraph, they both senior conservative members saying that they criticised him, not quite saying that dominic cummings should fall on his sword. it certainly, people are saying that she should go ina people are saying that she should go in a senior tories and met hancock making the real dogs dinner of the press c0 nfe re nce making the real dogs dinner of the press conference and seemingly agreeing with that fines made on people driving with children should be reversed. it hasjust become ludicrous and laughable. we had michael gove giving interviews today saying that he would occasionally
10:42 pm
drive to test his eyesight is well and what on earth are we coming to? the government can survive many things. they can survive all sorts of scandal but it is very difficult to survive in a row when they've become a figure of almost universal ridicule. i do not mean that unfairly. dominic cummings has done some incredible things and any objective observer of politics would say that and he was in part involved with before, we have gone to this point over the government says that every single thing it'd as the british public to do as we leave the lockdown is going to be returned with, well, what about dominic? what about this aid? as the rest of europe starts to open up and holidays, it will be very difficult
10:43 pm
for the british government to say, we we re for the british government to say, we were to ask behind them but unfortunately we are not going to be opening up two weeks behind italy and is having this almighty row about a man who fundamentally is not elected. doctor or nurse getting married persuading the church to open up to the ceremony itself but the congregation and the guests watching remotely. on to the next one. looking at the picture of emmanuel micron and a factor in northern france announcing new measures for reviving the car industry. a huge amount of money, more money in particularfor green ca rs more money in particularfor green cars and the psalms are eye watering, aren‘t they? cars and the psalms are eye watering, aren't they? yes, but the psalms of what car manufacturers have lost just and psalms of what car manufacturers have lostjust and the past few weeks as the pandemic is hit and the sums they‘re asking for an bailout
10:44 pm
and our own tyre manufacturers most recently land rover and you‘ve also got this concern about even when we get through this, the world will not be the same and will have changed, but will have changed within the economy, consumer buying habits, within driving habits and so emmanuel micron is pink leather here saying that we are going to be greener or whether we like it or not, that is to be one of the positive side effects and that is where i‘m going to put my money where i‘m going to put my money where my mouth is and back clean cars, he wants them to be the greenest car manufacturers in the world. it just looking at greenest car manufacturers in the world. itjust looking at some of the figures. the burn that people get if they choose to buy an electric car over traditional car going up and it will not be 7000 euros each, it is an 8 billion euro plan that he is announcing and in
10:45 pm
france alone, therefore hundred thousand cars that are sitting in sales rooms that would‘ve been bought in this period that have not been bought. so there‘s a lot of catch—up. those not be electric cars and if these electric cars of their investing again, will not be coming toa car investing again, will not be coming to a car show in the eu anytime soon, but is very interesting that american politicians are talking about this as well as how one of the side effects is going to have to be a greener economy and how do we achieve that? and all of those ideas historically about national governments not being able to bail out their own individual industries and it looks like the eu as a whole is going to have to look back and retrospectively come up with some rules to explain away some of the things that have happened over the past few weeks, but he said the sums are eye watering in from the uk to the us, we arejust
