what her daughter in dord. the i says president dick is being urged to restore trust in the police after sarah's milder. a different story in the financial times. it reports state minister is out to shift green surcharges from household electricity builds and onto gas builds. let's begin. obviously the papers reflect on two big stories. the aftermath of the sarah everard milder and keir starmer speech. we will start with kier summers speech and a look in the guardian newspaper. the headline the picture of sir keir starmer and his wife victoria on the front page after his speak start tells trivial pm "get a grip i get out of the way". i thought it was meant to be in france. the speech was entirely in english with a what did you make of it? ., ., , ., ., ., , it? not a big deal, i have to be honest. it? not a big deal, i have to be honest- i _ it? not a big deal, i have to be

10:34 pm
get onto the fuel crisis, the energy crisis, shortages in supermarkets and so on. as a country that desperately needs some concrete policy proposals to get britain out of this and into a better place. and that's where you didn't really see a whole lot of substance from the speech today. whole lot of substance from the speech today-— whole lot of substance from the seech toda . ., , ., . speech today. tom, before we reflect on that, speech today. tom, before we reflect on that. can — speech today. tom, before we reflect on that. can you _ speech today. tom, before we reflect on that, can you remember— speech today. tom, before we reflect on that, can you remember how - speech today. tom, before we reflect| on that, can you remember how many labour party speeches you've seen in your life? i’pe labour party speeches you've seen in our life? �* .,, labour party speeches you've seen in our life? �* , _, , your life? i've lost count. they eventually _ your life? i've lost count. they eventually meld _ your life? i've lost count. they eventually meld into _ your life? i've lost count. they eventually meld into one. - your life? i've lost count. they eventually meld into one. it i your life? i've lost count. they i eventually meld into one. it must your life? i've lost count. they - eventually meld into one. it must be 20, 30 at least _ eventually meld into one. it must be 20, 30 at least where _ eventually meld into one. it must be 20, 30 at least where it _ eventually meld into one. it must be 20, 30 at least where it should - 20, 30 at least where it should not would you rain this one? this 20, 30 at least where it should not would you rain this one?— would you rain this one? as italia, i was in the _ would you rain this one? as italia, i was in the hall, _ would you rain this one? as italia, i was in the hall, i— would you rain this one? as italia, i was in the hall, i was standing i would you rain this one? as italia, | i was in the hall, i was standing on the side _ i was in the hall, i was standing on the side of— i was in the hall, i was standing on the side of other broadcast journalists and some other keir starmer— journalists and some other keir starmer staffers and it was the most interesting _ starmer staffers and it was the most interesting opposition leader speech conference i've ever seen. not

10:36 pm
not getting the reaction that you would expect on paper?- would expect on paper? i think that's an important _ would expect on paper? i think. that's an important observation. i know people like me get accused of saying things like this but part of the reason that our politics is in the reason that our politics is in the situation is because political commentary tends to treat it like a parlour game and treated did not focus on the drama rather than the actual substance was up on me get to the substance that's what's lacking with keir starmer was up if you want to —— your left flank fine. you did promise not to, he one his leadership saying promising unity and promising to stick to pledges over left—wing policy platform. for one thing, you lied to your party over that. one thing, you lied to your party overthat. if one thing, you lied to your party over that. if you generalise your party of that why should you be trusted about anything else? never the firmament, if you your purpose is to eliminate the left what then
10:37 pm
is to eliminate the left what then is the plan? what is the point of eliminating the left? so far we don't have anything except for because we've eliminated the left. i think that's what the public is picking up on. we want concrete solutions. we have a fuel crisis, at climate emergency, we are looking at a country where there is a wage crisis, where gusts are smiling. the economy clearly is not working, it wasn't working going into the pandemic and it certainly isn't coming out of it. there is a public appetite polars repeatedly showing this for big change for nationalisation, higher tax on higher earners, for concrete state intervention on climate change. and so i think this is why we are not seeing a pole shift for keir starmer. because he is not a chilly offering anything other than what we don't like the left very much. the financial times _

10:41 pm
with this is that we need to look at something that is a lot bigger. we need to look at a state intervening rather than encouraging consumers to move in one direction or another. we need a state intervention in rewiring the energy economy in itself. at the moment we could see a lot of energy companies failing. that is one more argument for taking them into public control. but the more urgent argument in terms of the climate emergency is that if you want to rewire in economy, make it face much more towards renewable energy then you really need to be able to use the leaders of the state to do that. and there for have it in public ownership. countries across europe that do that have much more renewable energy in the mix. tam. renewable energy in the mix. tom, the ft uses — renewable energy in the mix. tom, the ft uses nudge _ renewable energy in the mix. tom, the ft uses nudge consumers - renewable energy in the mix. tom, the ft uses nudge consumers in . renewable energy in the mix. tom, the ft uses nudge consumers in the first paragraph is up does nudging more? i

death is something that is utterly chilling. notjust for sarah everard family and friends but far more widely. the fact that her murderer abused his power as a police officer, that he was able to get her to comply with being handcuffed and there for essentially kidnap her and then rain, milder her and burn her body. that he was able to do that because he was a police officer, because he was a police officer, because he was a police officer, because he could cite covid regulations. it's absolutely chilling and it points to a real culture and the police force, in the met police... edi culture and the police force, in the met police- - -_ met police... of abuse. and that brinus us met police... of abuse. and that brings us to _ met police... of abuse. and that brings us to the _ met police... of abuse. and that brings us to the next _ met police... of abuse. and that brings us to the next newspaper| met police... of abuse. and that - brings us to the next newspaper that covers the story at late night in the daily telegraph is up everard killer use covid law to entrap her. the paper says questions over police
