of the 19705 labour government, and one of the first women cabinet ministers. mark politics was in her blood. her mother was vera brittain, a famous writer and feminist campaigner. shirley williams joined the labour party in her teens and entered the house of commons in 1964. in a male dominated profession, she was often the only woman on the platform. she rose to a cabinet level when labour returned to power in 1974, and later as education secretary began to replace grammar schools with the comprehensive system. but she and others became disillusioned as the labour party moved to the left. too many have done something which is known as keeping your head down. well, the time has come when you'd better stick your head is up. in 1981, williams dramatically walked away from labour, one of the so—called gang of four who established the sdp,

promising to break the mould of british politics. she won crosby in a famous by—election. we are making a new beginning for britain. the euphoria was short lived. she lost in the 1983 general election. the sdp—liberal alliance got 25% of the vote but not many seats. today, colleagues suggested she should have had a more prominent role. the view was that if shirley williams and i had been running the �*83 election together we would have done even better than we did. she was just a very, very popular person. much more popular than any of the rest of us. a sometimes acrimonious merger with the liberal party eventually created the liberal democrats. now baroness williams, she held a senior academic posts, but remained active in politics, becoming president of the party. i don't think honestly, i would be an mp without having someone like her to have inspired me. there were so few women who were around at the time. i do think she was the greatest leader our party never had. i actually think she was one of the greatest prime ministers the country never had.

she was passionately pro—european, using her final speech to the house of lords before retirement to make the against brexit. the case against brexit. think very hard before allowing the united kingdom withdrawal from what i believe to be its major duty to the world, and that is the one it will encounter and deliver through the european union. today, colleagues recalled her wisdom and warmth. shirley was a liberal lion. she was a trailblazer, particularly for women in politics. the liberal democrat family is very sad tonight. shirley williams, who's died at the age of 90. and that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are broadcaster david davies and lucy fisher, deputy political editor at the telegraph. tomorrow's front pages, starting with the photo released by prince william of his son george and the duke of edinburgh is on the front of the telegraph. the paper covers william and harry's tributes to their grandfather. it's the same story on the front of the mirror, which has a picture of the three men in military uniform. the metro points out the contrasting language used by the late duke's grandsons in their statements. the mail says senior royals will be at the queen's side for public events.

the government are considering to mix and match covid boosterjabs, according to the front page of the i. the investigation launched by the government into lobbying — following the actions of david cameron — is the ft�*s top story. the guardian leads on the same story and also has a picture of the poltician shirley williams, who has died at the age of 90. and the daily star has an image of two very determined pub—goers, as lockdown restrictions eased earlier today. so, let's begin. lucy, let's start with the

telegraph. william, he wants us to get on with the job. a lovely picture of george next to his great—grandfather. the papers have been contrasting the very different language here but i think some commentators are suggesting that even a slight sting in from the language used but tell us what do you think? figs language used but tell us what do ou think? �* , language used but tell us what do ou think? ~ , i. ., , . ., you think? as you would expect from the future king. _ you think? as you would expect from the future king, the _ you think? as you would expect from the future king, the language - you think? as you would expect from the future king, the language is - the future king, the language is very formal, although he does refer to the duke of edinburgh as his grandpa. and also someone who was still hungry for more royal participant, describing his grandfather as master of the barbecue and legend of banter. it was noticeable the very contrasting styles of the two brothers, but as i see it, very much united and sentiment. both paying tribute to

the service of prince philip to his great sense of humour, to a sense of adventure that he had and yes, of course there has been a bit of drama in the family before prince philip's death and people are going to analyse those two different statements were released in 30 minutes apart very different in style it does tell us about the questions. style it does tell us about the question— style it does tell us about the cuestions. ,, . , ., , questions. statements from his office, questions. statements from his office. harry — questions. statements from his office, harry came _ questions. statements from his office, harry came from - questions. statements from his office, harry came from his - questions. statements from his i office, harry came from his press secretary which really highlights a different these two brothers are now. what do you read into williams saying he would want us to get on with the job? saying he would want us to get on with thejob? i saying he would want us to get on with the job?— with the “ob? i fear that whatever an bod with the job? i fear that whatever anybody may _ with the job? i fear that whatever anybody may like. _ with the job? i fear that whatever anybody may like, prince - with the job? i fear that whatever anybody may like, prince harry'sl anybody may like, prince harry's presence — anybody may like, prince harry's presence on saturday will inevitably be something of a sideshow. whether people _ be something of a sideshow. whether people like it or not. yes, the

used the motto from the marines at the end of his statements where he had taken on the honourific of the general of the marines and had them removed from him by the queen after that year possible separation to see how he was going to go. is that reading too much into it? you can call it a psychodrama but as david says, everyone is going to be looked says, everyone is going to be looking at the body language of these two people when they walk behind their mother's coffin. interesting to see that particular incident and the reported remarks of the duke of edinburgh who persuaded the duke of edinburgh who persuaded the two brothers to walk and he said of course, if i walk, will you walk with me? and that it's such a

striking image of family unity in the tragedy and walking behind their prince diana poss plus coffin. looking at the body language, yet the words today so far, it has been reported that prince harry was sad to lose his position as an honourary chief of the royal marines and there may be something in that. also in his sensational interview in recent weeks, he described his brother and father is trapped inside the system and i think you see him using such colloquial free language, and i think you see him using such colloquialfree language, again it conjures up that idea that there is a stiffness formality and repression of the royal family that prince spoke about in that interview the

royal family have this tradition to be completely inscrutable in public. and over the past day or two, since the duke's death, although of the children have come out and really reviewed for more intimate insights into the relationship with their father. �* ., , , ., father. but the reality is that the duke of edinburgh _ father. but the reality is that the duke of edinburgh himself - father. but the reality is that the j duke of edinburgh himself would father. but the reality is that the - duke of edinburgh himself would have absolutely hated all of this. i fear he might— absolutely hated all of this. i fear he might have said privately, i told you this _ he might have said privately, i told you this would happen and he would have been_ you this would happen and he would have been right. but that is the world _ have been right. but that is the world we — have been right. but that is the world we live in and that is the world — world we live in and that is the world that _ world we live in and that is the world that it's harry and their wives— world that it's harry and their wives and _ world that it's harry and their wives and the queen are going to continue — wives and the queen are going to continue to live in and they are going _ continue to live in and they are going to — continue to live in and they are going to have to exist with it and it's going — going to have to exist with it and it's going to be very difficult. moving — it's going to be very difficult. moving on to other subjects. the

rules around cues putting up on the streets in pubs and restaurants in central london and also thirsty londoners queuing up for their first paints with friends and because there will be bottlenecks with people on doors having to check nhs test and trace on mobile phones, it will be for people to be processed in pubs to get their drinks and so, given the threat of the ultra mixing spread of the viruses into bed, people should be lenient. in pubs face fines in a crackdown on queuing. this is guidance. not the law, but the pubs are expected to manage outside queuing so they do not cause a risk of the virus spreading. it is a bit heavy—handed, isn't it? spreading. it is a bit heavy-handed, isn't it? ., .., . spreading. it is a bit heavy-handed, isn't it? ., . _ ., , isn't it? there are council bylaws and the question _
