11:31 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me is the editor of labourlist, sienna rodgers and deputy leader writer at the sun, olivia utley. thanks olivia utley. as always for being with us tonight. thanks as always for being with us tonight. so, let's have a look at some of the front pages. starting with the metro and "the great lockdown rebellion" — it says boris johnson is facing a revolt by local leaders over his latest regional restrictions — with the mayor of middlesborough calling the rules ignorant and saying he would defy them. snp mp margaret ferrier takes up the front page of the i. she travelled from scotland to london by train having had a covid test — then travelled back the next day having discovered she was positive — breaking the rules 5 times
11:32 pm
in the process. mp took covid to the commons is the telegraph's headline — it has a picture of her speaking in the commons on the day her test came back positive. that's also the main story in the daily mail — along with the interview that the duke and duchess of sussex gave to mark the start of black history month — calling for britiain to end structural racism. the times says allies of home secretary, priti patel, are accusing the foreign office of leaking "bizarre and unworkable" asylum policies in an attempt to discredit her. in the mirror— george floyd's sister appeals for americans to vote donald trump out of office — saying don't let my brother george die in vain. the ft leads with the announcement by the european commission that it is suing the uk over its plans to breach international law by violating the brexit withdrawal agreement. and finally in the guardian — a tribute tojenni murray — who, after 33 years as the presenter of radio 4's woman's hour, has recorded her last show
11:33 pm
got to say, i'm absolutely gutted that she is going. right, let's start with the papers. as always, sienna, olivia, lovely to have you back. a lot of the papers that we saw in that round are really looking at what is happening with margaret ferrier a, the snp leader. we had a couple stories today under various figures not abiding to the rules strictly, but sienna, what this snp mp did, just talk us through its, because it's quite, it was happening over a few days. as you two said earlier, it's quite remarkable. yes, it's very shocking. i think it willjust leave a lot of people feeling quite despairing over the quality of mps that we have actually that i think will reflect really badly on politicians. so basically what she did and she started —— if she started to feel u nwell started —— if she started to feel unwell with coronavirus symptoms, she was then so concerned that she did takea she was then so concerned that she did take a test. then the snp mp
11:34 pm
travelled from glasgow to london and gave a speech in the house of commons. there were other people in the chamber. she could've done it virtually, but she didn't. she went all the way down to london to do that. then she got positive test result, and then she took the train back to scotland and then obviously had to report herself to the police into parliament. so obviously, to travel, we saw that with dominic cummings, we saw that on its own, pretty outrageous, makes people pretty outrageous, makes people pretty angry, and kind of loses faith in politics, but then to actually have a positive test result and then to travel again, endangering people on the tube, on the train, i mean, all the way of that journey, it's just the train, i mean, all the way of thatjourney, it'sjust incredible behaviour, and it's no wonder that all the opposition parties are now calling for her resignation. so she has been suspended by the snp, so she's had the whip withdrawn from they also want her to actually stand
11:35 pm
down as an mp, and it's not surprising they are calling for that, because this is outrageous, but also, she did talk about dominic cummings having to resign when barnard castle scandal was going on, so barnard castle scandal was going on, so there is quite a bit of progress either as well. the estimate the time, she said the rules then were absolutely clear. the mail also focusing very much on this, and the way that they are describing this, olivia, one rule for them, and again, really looking at this, talking about the whip being suspended, exactly as sienna was mentioning there, the calls are coming out for her resignation. you make yes, she is absolutely right that it's going to reflect very badly on politicians generally. we talked about in the last hour, that the only defence so far of margaret ferrier is that she is a bit dim, that she's a bit hard of thinking and just hadn't thought it through. that probably is the answer. i mean,
11:36 pm
presumably she wasn't being malicious, she wasn't actually deciding to go and try and infect people on the train. so the only possible answer is that she's either dim ortoo possible answer is that she's either dim or too arrogant that she thinks that she is above it. i think a lot of people... just to interject, is there potential that the rules are just not 100% clear then? if you feel, you know... the rules, deftly are little bit hazy. i don't think anyone in the country can be in any doubt that if you have a positive covid test, you shouldn't be going on trains and travelling up and down the country. that's been true since day one, perhaps one could argue that when she was feeling ill, even when she ordered a test, maybe she could be confused enough to get the train down, not a very strong argument for that, but perhaps there is an argument. i don't think there's any argument. i don't think there's any argument at all that she just didn't know that she wasn't allowed to get the train back again. that willjust
11:37 pm
seem the train back again. that willjust seem absurd to people. she couldn't comprehend the rules, which in that case, that really isn't bright at all. or she thought she was above its coming they think that's what most people will think is true, that she just decided that it was wrong for her, and she is an important person who had to go make a speech in the house of commons, couldn't do it virtually, too important for that, so she didn't mind about the people's lives that she was putting in danger. that's what it will come across like, and it will reflect badly on her commit will reflect badly on her commit will reflect badly on her commit will reflect badly on the snp who are being very strong now to give them their due, but is that it has taken quite a few days for the story to come through, and there will be questions about that in the coming days. it will reflect badly on politicians generally, and on parliament. it's a many expenses scandal, i would say. well, that is strong indeed. i'm sure we will hear much more of it over the next few days, as you say. just moving on to the metro and still with the focus on coronavirus
11:38 pm
and various lockdown rules. the paper is calling it the great lockdown rebellion. and this is specifically quoting, sienna, the mayor of middlesborough, who isjust not at all happy, i think that's an understatement, with the measures they are. yes, he has issued some very strong words criticising the new restrictions, andy preston, and obviously, he has a bit of freedom to do that, because he is an independent mayor. labour has been a little bit more reserved, and they have really wanted to support what the government is saying in order not to give mixed messages on coronavirus, really worried that if they criticise what the government is doing too much, it might actually confuse the public health messaging, and that is the last thing they want to do is be accused of doing that, it would be pretty difficult for labour, especially when keira sterman is talking about being constructive opposition, but he is actually toughening up those criticisms, and along with these
11:39 pm
local leaders, they are actually saying, look, it is about time that you stop relying on these outsourcing firms that have terrible track records and actually started working with people locally. this is also featured in the yorkshire post, so also featured in the yorkshire post, so keira sterman has given this interview basically saying, "look, enough, enough of this." " you need to pick up local leaders, council leaders, mayors, localauthorities in the driver's seat when it comes to up posing new restrictions." because otherwise it doesn't work, because they are responsible for implementing these measures, making sure that close smoothly. they are on the front line from a much nearer to the residents who have actually been affected. yes come as you refer the yorkshire post also looking at that, saying that the north is in danger of being leveled down. just explain to us what exactly they mean by that, because there are a lot of elements with the scarce number interview that they are talking about, this idea of leveling down, they are talking about the economy,
11:40 pm
i think. yes, so the headline is about leveling down, of course, that refers to the prime minister's leveling up agenda. this is what he has talked about, it's what he thought the campaign on, he talked about regional inequality, but it seems like these local lockdowns are actually exacerbating regional equality rather than addressing its come in the article is atchley mostly about their local restrictions, but, really commit the end there, they'd start —— it starts or talk about how the i fs has warned that the economic impact plus brexit could really complicate any attempts to address their inequalities between uk regions. it'sjust outrageous to inequalities between uk regions. it's just outrageous to think that pubs and restaurants and all these kind of places, hospitality in particular are being ordered to shocked, but there is no local furlough schemes, how are those businesses supposed to survive? it's just incredible to think about what they are going throughout the moment. it's interesting that they quote kier stamer saying, olivia, that my view is that the government
11:41 pm
has not involve local leaders on the ground in the way that it should've done either bringing them in soon enough or providing necessary information and evidence involving local leaders, he is really gunning there for the government as well. yes, i have to agree with kier stamer on that. the government hasn't brought in local leaders. i think we've got an inward —looking numberten, we have got think we've got an inward —looking number ten, we have got boris and dominic cummings at the very centre of numberten, and dominic cummings at the very centre of number ten, and there quite often not willing to speak to their own mps. we have these big rebellions with lockdown restrictions, and the numberten with lockdown restrictions, and the number ten machine doesn't seem very good at placating their own backbenchers, which is kind of surprising, given that they wanted 80 seat majority less than a year ago. we have exactly the same problem here that kier stamer is talking about which is that they are not talking to regional leaders either, and sienna is right to say that it's wearing to think about what's happening in these regions where there is no furlough scheme. quite a lot of these places are
11:42 pm
seeing a bad second wave of lockdown where they didn't have a particularly bad first way. so whereas there was about first wave in london and the furlough scheme was brought in, hospitality was closed down from up a bill had their jobs saved, there was a proper plan in place, the same thing is now happening in the north, and there is fio happening in the north, and there is no plan in place, really. and then you have got the story that we were talking about before, the mayor of middlesborough, whose name is andy preston, sorry, i got confused, has said that he won't follow the rules and thinks that they have been imposed ina and thinks that they have been imposed in a monstrance way. i think that's a sign of things to come, really. we are seeing the first signs of the consensus preying on lockdown. yes, extremely punchy. and just to add to the well, this all coming as the i fs, the institute are for fiscal coming as the i fs, the institute are forfiscal studies is coming as the i fs, the institute are for fiscal studies is warning that the complications, the disruption from coronavirus, but also they talk about brexit as well,
11:43 pm
neck or two, complicating any kind of attempt of increasing equality between the uk regions come exactly what we do not need to be hearing. exactly what we don't need to be hearing as the country, sorry... my cat... it's exactly what the conservatives don't want to be hearing because they are one pledge really was to level up the north, they kept on saying that they were borrowing votes from brexiters, that we re borrowing votes from brexiters, that were natural conservative voters, but had led the road to conservatives in this election, and boris's speech when he won was all about, "i will show them that i am worthy of their votes." and the one thing that they really have to do to stand any chance of doing well in the next election is to get the north back on track. and it doesn't look like it's happening. it's going to bea look like it's happening. it's going to be a bad combination, especially if there is no brexit deal. we are going to the very bad termination for the north, looks at the disaster waiting to happen. right. well, we really enjoyed the company of your
11:44 pm
cats. that was a lovely interlude. but while we wait for the cap to settle itself, it probably doesn't wa nt to settle itself, it probably doesn't want to hear my voice any more, we will look at the times, and a slightly different story now, sienna, it's priti patel, and we have been hearing over the days of these different types of plans about what to do with migrants. and they we re what to do with migrants. and they were sounding in places of papa new guinea, morocco, which was raising eyebrows, but they are now being called bizarre policies that are being leaked. yes, so this story is a little bit of a different take on these stories that we have seen over these stories that we have seen over the past few days all about these home—office ideas for basically trying to limit the uk's response ability for protecting asylum—seekers, making sure that they are not landed in the uk, so that basically, we can have less responsibility for their welfare and for processing them while they are actually here in the country. so, all of these ideas, things like
11:45 pm
using disused fairies moored off the coast, that's one of the ideas that's been floated, also if i can ta ke that's been floated, also if i can take island many thousands of miles away. all of these kind of very strange things and very inhumane is what scares starmer described them as, ideas, and this story now in the times is talking about how basically this is all part of the whitehall blame game. so it's the big war between civil servants and priti patelin between civil servants and priti patel in particular, and we saw this because of philip broughton‘s resignation a months ago, and basically there seems to be a lot of tension between civil servants and priti patel who has been, you know, had bullying accusations and all sorts. so they are saying that these kind of crazy ideas, these bizarre and unworkable policy options are being leaked by the foreign office in an attempt to discredit any solution to the problem and a
11:46 pm
conservative mp and obviously an ally of priti patel is saying that, well, this is my constituents right to me every day about this problem with asylum—seekers and they are just trained to make us look silly, basically as his message. i think it's quite uncomfortable that, actually, we are talking about this in relation to dominic cummings, because these are very serious policy matters. we should be talking by them in a very serious way, but instead, we're just talking about this whitehall blame game and how people briefing against each other. megan and harry, sorry, but do you think they are being leaked, what is your reckoning? i find this whole story absolutely bizarre. yes, it deftly sounds as though there is some kind of weird blame game going on. i don't think it's evenjust between civil servants. it seems to between civil servants. it seems to be between ministers, something to do with pre—took my priti patel getting on badly with the foreign office, sorry, so i don't think we are ever really going to get to the bottom of it. i think there is the most interesting thing in that
11:47 pm
article was that sentence about dominic cummings which was a suggestion that that these ideas we re suggestion that that these ideas were coming up, and sort of everyone around, dominic cummings is coming up around, dominic cummings is coming up with unworkable ideas, so everyone around him no that they are unworkable, but they are all too scared of him to cross them, so they are alljust scared of him to cross them, so they are all just blaming scared of him to cross them, so they are alljust blaming priti patel and making it come out in the newspapers that this is a bad idea and planing priti patel for it to him and then cummings will realise himself that it was a bad idea. so it all seems to be about cummings's ego, which is pretty alarming, and deftly not the sort of conversations as sienna mentioned that we should be having when this is very serious issue being discussed. i think it says a lot about how much power dominic cummings has, and how dangerous it is when someone who can't be crossed is when someone who can't be crossed is in that sort of position. interesting line. right from as always, not enough time, but let's just quickly do the final story. megan and harry, and they are talking about structural racism, warming —— it's a interview that
11:48 pm
they gave to the london evening standard to mark the start of black history month. sienna, lots of different ways of looking at it. the daily mail we spoke earlier was a little bit provocative in its interpretation of this. how has the times read this advice? so, a lot of it is quite a straightforward rate up. it's not quite as provocative as the one we saw earlier from the daily mail. but, yes, it's about this evening standard interview, and obviously, a lot of people will be saying, well, we thought that you we re saying, well, we thought that you were trying to actually limit the kind of media attention you are getting from the uk, but now you are giving an interview about this. so they are going to get that kind of criticism and obviously, the fact that they are speaking from their £11 million mansion and all of that sort of stuff from california when they were going to be moving to canada and that idea seems to have disappeared. but they are talking about something incredibly serious which is structural racism in the uk, and obviously, megan markel has
11:49 pm
had experience of this, and she's talking about that from personal experience. and as a woman with black heritage, obviously, she is fully has the right to speak out, her perspective is going to be very interesting, despite the fact that prince harry probably doesn't want to talk so much about class inequality in this country, i would assume. it's that personal experience, olivia, that meghan has had that's important. it's important that she shares it, isn't it? well, i sort of think yes, perhaps megan can talk about it. of course she is well within her rights to talk about it, ithink well within her rights to talk about it, i think harry talking about his awakening is slightly sickening from and they do come across a little bit smug. it also doesn't really seem to be breaking any new ground. i don't think they are really contributing much to the conversation with this interview. i think there were probably more useful things they
11:50 pm
could do to tackle structural racism in this country where they've chosen to live which is america. ijust don't really quite understand why they are doing a big interview with a british newspaper when they have decided to take themselves away from britain when they said they don't wa nt britain when they said they don't want attention from the british media. ijust... idon't want attention from the british media. ijust... i don't really get this whole thing. i don't quite see what the point is. of course, megan is perfectly welcome to speak up about her own experience —— meghan. some people will find that very interesting. but harry and his awakening, i noticed the times put it in quotation marks as well come adjust that word, awakening, which... yeah, adjust that word, awakening, which. .. yeah, not adjust that word, awakening, which... yeah, not sure how well that's going to go down is my overall verdict with the perdition public. welcome to the paper it is also can't resist to stress that the couple were interviewed from the californian home, although, this paper doesn't give the cost of the home. yeah, it's an interesting take. that's it for the papers this evening.
11:51 pm
