10:31 pm
hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me is lizzy buchan, political correspondent of the daily mirror, and kieran andrews, political editor of the times scotland. good to have you with us once again. let's look at the front pages that have already come in, bringing you date with these. the financial times, which focuses on tax rises to battle nhs and social care. it reports that borisjohnson fended off a rebellion in the commons to secure the £12 billion tax rise. but the prime minister is warned that isn't enough to fix the care crisis — that's on the front of the guardian. it features warnings from experts and professionals that the "gamble" plan would fail to deliver. staying with the nhs, the telegraph reports the service is hiring 42 new executives
10:32 pm
on salaries of up to £270,000 each amid concerns over how new tax cash will be spent. another health story leads on the front of the i, it focuses on rapid roll—out. "boosters to be wrapped up by christmas" as the nhs will work to deliver 35 million jabs by the end of december. "gavin the gaffe" — the metro says the education secretary has "has shot himself in the foot yet again" after he confused footballer marcus rashford with old harrovian rugby player maro itoje. migrants crossing the channel is the main story on the front of the express, as it reports british border force boats will be able to steer migrants back to france. the paper, like several others, also features teenage tennis star emma raducanu, who has reached semi—finals of the us open. so lizzie, do you want to pick us off this evening? starting with the
10:33 pm
ft, it's off this evening? starting with the ft, its day two of the story, or you could actually argue it's probably day 3—4 given it was so well trailed over the weekend. but it's quite important, a lot of the stuff in here notjust about the details of parliamentary manoeuvres, but the practicality of how and when this money will be spent.— this money will be spent. that's riaht, it's this money will be spent. that's right. it's not — this money will be spent. that's right, it's not even _ this money will be spent. that's right, it's not even day - this money will be spent. that's right, it's not even day three, . this money will be spent. that's. right, it's not even day three, it's been a saga that's been going on for more than two years. the prime minister said on the steps of downing street when he first became conservative leader back in 2019 saying he had a plan to fix the crisis in social care — two years on, we are right here, and it's carried on over the weekend into today where everyone has had a chance to dig into the details a bit more, because it is quite a complicated plan. this evening, as well, mps voted on in the house of commons and borisjohnson was able to get the resolution through. there
10:34 pm
had been a lot of talk about a possible tory rebellion, mps furious, but the rebellion fizzled out, only a few who voted no and 37 who didn't vote either abstaining because they didn't like the proposal or for another reason like they were sick or away. so the prime minister will be relieved to have gotten it through the commons because it is a controversial proposal — it's raising taxes, breaking his manifesto commitment that he wouldn't raise national insurance. and it also includes some of the detail in it, which the papers pick up on about how the money shakes out, how much money is really for the nhs and how much will actually go to social care. just

10:38 pm
that national insurance rise that everyone, all workers and employees will start paying next april. and we've seen elements of it including an £86,000 cap on lifetime care costs — all these elements are in there, but there's not any detail on starting, how things will be overhauled in the way the care sector is run. so there's a lot of detail lacking which i think the guardian makes the point that the care sector are wanting more information about how this will work. i information about how this will work. .., information about how this will work. .. ., . ,, , , work. i can feel the hackles rising at the daily _ work. i can feel the hackles rising at the daily telegraph _ work. i can feel the hackles rising at the daily telegraph editorial i at the daily telegraph editorial meeting when they saw this news that some of the money will go into the creation of new managerial roles, apparently. perhaps that always explains amongst those who voted

by priti patel last year to try to repel all these people trying to come into the uk — that doesn't seem to have worked, and getting the french to basically stop them leaving the coastline or leaving french territorial waters seems to not have worked. craig mckenzie was saying on the radio today, a conservative kent mp, that he wasn't very keen on this idea before it was announced, or before it appeared in the newspaper because he feared all that what happened was people would simply sink their own boats in order to ensure they didn't have to go back and then be rescued. it's a really complicated picture, this, and successive governments have tried to but not been successful at discouraging illegal migration succulent that's right, and as karen says, this is something that doesn't really exercise the home secretary. she's under a lot of pressure on this because the arrival of migrants in small boats is something that,
10:44 pm
you know, conservative mps are very concerned about. and it's a comp located issue to deal with. this proposal has been put forward in the papers tonight could be just more tough talk to make it appear like the government is really getting a grip on this issue — which the statistics at the moment don't seem to suggest it is. and actually, priti patel could be creating more problems than solving them, because the french won't be particularly pleased with this idea, and it's also potentially dangerous. i think it could be very easy for some of these papers to talk about this flood of migrants, but they are desperate people trying to find the rate to the uk, the journey people make for a laugh. so it could be
10:45 pm
very dangerous, and i suppose cynically you could also look at this in the political context of the fact that there's been lots of conversation in the last week or so about a potential cabinet reshuffle, and priti patel�*s name has been voted among some of the other younger politicians who could be at risk —— floated. social deftly want to be seen as on the front foot of what is a key issue. latte to be seen as on the front foot of what is a key issue.— to be seen as on the front foot of what is a key issue. we will return to that question _ what is a key issue. we will return to that question of— what is a key issue. we will return to that question of a _ what is a key issue. we will return to that question of a potential - to that question of a potential reshuffle later in this review. let's move on to the i — we talked a lot about booster jabs let's move on to the i — we talked a lot about boosterjabs this autumn and winter. ti suggests the government is pretty keen to on this very quickly —— the i? government is pretty keen to on this very quickly -- the i?— very quickly -- the i? that's correct. _ very quickly -- the i? that's correct. we _ very quickly -- the i? that's correct, we understand, - very quickly -- the i? that's correct, we understand, my| very quickly -- the i? that's - correct, we understand, my paper is reporting on this tonight, that the
