11:32 pm
and like almost all of tomorrow's papers has tributes to footballer jack charlton on the front page. the sunday times writes that the home secretary fears "cultural sensitivities" prevented police from tackling illegal sweatshops in britain's fast—fashion industry. the observer leads on a story from a leaked government document apparently showing the 20 councils most at risk of local lockdowns due to the coronavirus. the mail on sunday says ministers fear china could unleash an online attack on britain as tensions increase between london and beijing. and the express reports that britain will increase border controls the end of the year whatever the outcome of brexit talks. so let's begin... nice to have you both back. mark, will start with you this time
11:33 pm
around. the front page of the observer, this leak walked down the list. yes, this is a list which of peers are found its way to the observer suggesting that 20 councils face potential enhanced lockdown or support it least. these are areas of deprived people that remained socially to prize ethnically, mixed areas. as you might‘ve expected perhaps the likes of bradford, shh failed and west jack perhaps the likes of bradford, shh failed and westjack shire. among the areas. this is part of a public health england and its suggestion is that the ministers are considering publishing a ranking of the ten councils most affected by new outbreaks we know that lifestyle is still in the middle of their localised lockdown. there could be more. yes mean. yes, ithink
11:34 pm
localised lockdown. there could be more. yes mean. yes, i think this is quite interesting because it out know what is there an elite document. will these areas get more financial support? the authorities are under tremendous pressure. of course martin is right, deprivation is something that they all have in common. is something that they all have in common. most of them are ethnically mixed but say places like sheffield isn't. and we know now that their economic, racial, ethnic differences in some of the outcomes we seen in the last very, very difficult months in the numberof the last very, very difficult months in the number of deaths. i hope that this is dealt with compassionately and with proper resources. because otherwise what you're doing is you're internally blacklisting places and people. that isjust not fair, really. let's state with the front page of the observer. there is another story on its front page, the
11:35 pm
ex—minister of tax rides must pay for co—this is the former minister that left the conservative party halfway through last year and tried to get back in as an independent, i believe and failed to do that. he is warning that tax writers are necessary to pay for the covid—i9. this is a £40 billion gap in public finances. in tax increases our necessaries slight leak next stating the fact that the debt face of the government will actually uk economy. that is not a view that will be universally shared in his former party are indeed in other newspapers tomorrow morning. interesting, where does the money come from? we've had this extraordinary, unprecedented amount of government expenditure outline once again this week. the
11:36 pm
state m e nts outline once again this week. the statements are not made to the house. where does it come, who pays the bills because not because at some point somebody has to pay the bills. jasmine, the paper does say that senior conservators publicly and privately say that the prime minister will have to be honest with us. minister will have to be honest with us. and they are right. but also, one has to ask why labour isn't saying more about this? with the new leader who has a lot of respect now, why is keir starmer not talking about this? as martin says, this horrendous debt we've gotten into, somebody will have to be the net p5y~ somebody will have to be the net pay. why is labour which is traditionally the party which as the rich of the well—off should pay more tax. why have they gone quiet on this? it's really weird. why do you think that unquiet?” this? it's really weird. why do you
11:37 pm
think that unquiet? i don't know. i think, they are scared of the politics of it. this is a national crisis. and we have to be able to tax those people who can afford to be taxable stop and do many people, too many people who have gotten away who are wealthy and the top 10% have not paid their share. but if this is a national emergency as big as the second world war in some ways, then what the nation should be doing, then actually tax rises is the only way out. but they are not talking about it. martin, the front page of the sunday telegraph also talking about these tax cuts. calling it in economic revolution. yes, saying we have to increase taxes. telegraph insist that we have to cut them and we re insist that we have to cut them and were going to cut them. richie zuniga says he is prepared to introduce sweeping tax cuts and overhaul planning laws. layers of issues in this front—page story in the telegraph. 0n
11:38 pm
issues in this front—page story in the telegraph. on top of all the debt that's been incurred, they are announcing £705 million spent on boarded control. more money that has to go but it says that ten free parts to be established as extra areas in the country, that don't have the same customs due to the initial. pretty patel putting together a new package for potential immigrants to come into work in the health services and to identify key health services and to identify key health workers stop and in the middle of this rather large story the trade secretary has been wrapped by dominic cummings for criticising oi’ by dominic cummings for criticising or questioning some of the governments part of plans. of course we had to listen to this news of the huge lot being bought by the government outside ashford. there
11:39 pm
are significant issues here. clearly the main message telegraph wants out and the government wants out, rather than tax rises that many people say we need to do to balance the books what's required to get the country going again is tax cuts. you're shaking your head jasmine. yes, i find it so shocking. i find it so shocking that the telegraph is still defending the interests of the well— off defending the interests of the well—off here. the poorest have been paying more than their share of taxation through vat and so on. at this point and they're really going to suffer during the recession or even the depression that comes. what are we going to become? are we going to become one of the cd tax havens of the world? know they don't want regulations, they don't want standards, it's the manifesto and the economic advocate i think. 0h
11:40 pm
dear. sunday telegraph, might be another oh dear. about trying to get people back on track delete my public transport. would you do a? martin? yes, we have to. i think we have to wear a mask, i work from home so it's not really impacted upon me as yet. but i'm going to have to start going to work at some point and actually see and people again and that will mean getting across town. i don't want to drive soi across town. i don't want to drive so i will be using the train, the bus, the tube as i normally would do. but at the same time i'm going to be slightly hesitant. i'm going to be slightly hesitant. i'm going to be slightly hesitant. i'm going to be looking at wearing a mask because it's mandatory anyhow. i think people need to be persuaded. those i have fair, apprehension, however you want to label it people aren't going to blindlyjust walking and tried to resume lives. they need to be enticed back into doing it.
11:41 pm
the government has to play a part in that. jasmine? yes, i think but also we are not ready for this. germany is freeing up in a very organised way trying to return to some kind of normal. their debts are ridiculously low now. we had just had a figure of 145 in the last 25 hours. we are nowhere near ready. 0ur testing and tracing systems are in absolute shambles. and what this is going to do is, buses are going bosses are going to force workers to go back to work and risk their lives. and those that work on transport are risking their lives. we are not ready. i would love to see the normal comeback but been shockingly bad is not ok, let's turn now to the front page of the sunday times. an open secret referring here to lester. basically racism fair let sweatshops go unchecked. that's the most
11:42 pm
stunning element in the story. where it says the community secretary has ordered an investigation that could lead to the government taking control of leicester city council. and the argument here is the affairs, being accused of racism and allowed sweatshops to go unchecked. mattel sites cultural sensitivity has been a reason that people are turning a blind eye to exportation. to save leicester and the textile industry. in considering it says, new laws, mentioning in slavery. which is quite significant manoeuvre measure. but for a labour council to have all its powers potentially taken away by national government is in extreme move. whatever you think about this indicates that the scale of the concern is clearly being held
11:43 pm
by government and others. jasmine. cani by government and others. jasmine. can i say that everybody knew this was going on including our government. the financial times did a big story about 30 for mac years about this open secret —— four. i think part of it is a sensitivity doing at issue that they couldn't that some of these factories were owned by extremely wealthy asian businessmen exploiting some of their own people. but the other thing was that the communities themselves, those who are working there just felt voiceless. but the secrets and lies which is something that nations people, families and communities do. but we knew. everybody knew, i've written about this. of the people and the government knew. and the people who've made money off the backs of these poor people, paying them £3 50 an hour, out riding around in the big fancy cars. and if
11:44 pm
the telegraph is right paying less taxes very soon. and yet there has been an investigation which the gal lathe been an investigation which the gal l a the gangster labour and abuse of authority says it is ongoing but so far no enforcement has been put in place. because no offences have been identified. do you find that shocking? if this has been an ongoing situation which jasmine says it is. i'm sure it's true to a certain extent. then for there to be no action, it implies a significant failure in any oversight regime that's in place. clearly if these things are ongoing and jasmine says they are and i think people would probably agree that they fully are going on. something should've been done earlier. why do we get to the states. it's better to take some action then to take none no question. but why have we got to the stage? and if they've not been able
11:45 pm
to find evidence to prove it when eve ryo ne to find evidence to prove it when everyone believes it's going on, why not? we are going to end on tributes that are paid to jack charlton. very quickly, what did you make about this sad announcement? well, i loved martin's wonderful tribute in the la st martin's wonderful tribute in the last session we did. i can't better it. even i knew i am not interested in football, i think that it's such a part of the national legend of this country. and it was really sad whenjuan this country. and it was really sad when juan martin said this country. and it was really sad whenjuan martin said that most of them are dying and there are only about five less. what a way to live and die that everybody loves you. isn't that a life worth living? that is the point, is in a? because tributes have been coming in from young and old as well. people who
