hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are james moore, who is the chief business commentator at the independent, and katy balls, who is the deputy political editor at the spectator. warm welcome to both of you. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the telegraph reports that senior government ministers believe mass free covid testing must be scaled back because of the costs to the taxpayer. "winter and spring of discontent" — that's the is headline, saying the government fears a year of disruption ahead for food, fuel, gas and labour markets. ministers will push ahead with plans for levies on gas bills to fund low—carbon heating, according to the times, despite soaring energy prices. the express says a former tesco boss, sir david lewis, has been called on by borisjohnson to "save christmas" and end the supply chain crisis.

the mail claims a new emergency helpline for women walking back on their own could be in operation by christmas. the ft leads on what it calls a ground—breaking corporate tax reform aimed at eliminating tax havens, which more than 130 countries have signed up to. and the guardian has been investigating how life and conspiracy theories about covid—19 have been running on tiktok for months and have amassed millions of use. so, let's begin. gas levy gets green light at the time. , . , ., , gas levy gets green light at the time. , ., , ., ., ~ gas levy gets green light at the time. , ., , ., ., «a, ., gas levy gets green light at the time. , ., , ., ., ~ ., ., ., time. this was lots of talk ahead of co- - time. this was lots of talk ahead of co - - 26, time. this was lots of talk ahead of cepp 26. the _ time. this was lots of talk ahead of cepp 26. the global _ time. this was lots of talk ahead of copp 26, the global climate - time. this was lots of talk ahead of| copp 26, the global climate summit in glasgow about what the government is going to do in terms of the uk net zero target and the plans for levies on gas bills to fund low

carbon heating. the exact timing of when that will come into effect is not in the story but i think it's seen as bad timing evening about the fact that we are hearing all these warnings about how much gas bills are going to soar in the first place due to global shortage. and therefore is it really the time to be adding these green levies? do you risk losing some support for the green agenda if you move too quickly in this instance over does this have to be done? that clearly is a position that government is grappling with as there is a divide in opinion. grappling with as there is a divide in oinion. , . , ., ., grappling with as there is a divide in oinion. , ., ., w in opinion. james, what do you make of it? we already _ in opinion. james, what do you make of it? we already pay _ in opinion. james, what do you make of it? we already pay green - in opinion. james, what do you make of it? we already pay green levees i of it? we already pay green levees on our electricity, _ of it? we already pay green levees on our electricity, so _ of it? we already pay green levees on our electricity, so this - of it? we already pay green levees on our electricity, so this is - of it? we already pay green levees on our electricity, so this is aboutl on our electricity, so this is about sort of— on our electricity, so this is about sort of if— on our electricity, so this is about sort of if you _ on our electricity, so this is about sort of if you like levelling the playing — sort of if you like levelling the playing field between gas on the one hand and _ playing field between gas on the one hand and electricity on the other. gas being — hand and electricity on the other. gas being a greenhouse gas, it is polluting — gas being a greenhouse gas, it is polluting. the timing is opposite a problem _ polluting. the timing is opposite a problem because we are seeing this massive _ problem because we are seeing this massive spike in gas prices. is having —

disown decisions and change tactic. but i think this cost—of—living crisis is the biggest threat facing borisjohnson in terms of his position. and we are beginning to see how it could start to undercut or make his domestic agenda of net zero, pushing environmental agenda even more politically tricky than it is and already has opposition in his own party over it. is and already has opposition in his own party over it— own party over it. interesting on the front of— own party over it. interesting on the front of the _ own party over it. interesting on the front of the daily _ own party over it. interesting on the front of the daily express, i own party over it. interesting on| the front of the daily express, no pressure, it is yourjob to say which is what sir david lewis was told when the minister brought the former boss of tesco in as kind of a supply chain tsar. we have moves quite a lot in this space from supply change problems that are temporary hiccups that are not a government issue to appoint someone to try and soar at least some of these out. to try and soar at least some of these out-— to try and soar at least some of these out. �*, .,, ., , ._ these out. it's astonishing the way this has moved. _ these out. it's astonishing the way this has moved. the _ these out. it's astonishing the way this has moved. the thing - these out. it's astonishing the way this has moved. the thing is - these out. it's astonishing the way this has moved. the thing is this l these out. it's astonishing the way| this has moved. the thing is this is

the big elephant in the room is that change is going to take some time to come. it's going to mean a lot of turbulence, and there clearly will be losers from it. we will also have possibly inflation and other factors coming up. while you can argue changes to supply chains and changes to the relationship between employer and employee will eventually a good thing, i think the issue is that ultimately borisjohnson cannot thing, i think the issue is that ultimately boris johnson cannot say with any certainty how long this is going to last four and he cannot predict all the consequences because some of them are out of his control. just on that question of things that are out of his control, the i front page winter and spring discontent echoes what you are saying just now and who is on the front of this paper? velits katie, talking of something else we believe that. inflation already being slated to rise, bank of england rising figures, quite a lot of this is not

under government control, is it? i under government control, is it? i think having just come back from the conservative party conference in manchester, really positive mood for the prime minister and a speech full ofjokes but on the sidelines a lot ofjokes but on the sidelines a lot of his own supporters asking questions about really what the tone of the government is right now if it's the right one because we are hearing as we touched on earlier borisjohnson talking about a temporary shortage, saying this is not anything to worry about. we also previously had the christmas is not under threat being toned down slightly now and ultimately the i is now saying notjust slightly now and ultimately the i is now saying not just a winter of discontent but it could last well into the spring. this is an issue here which is lots of factors between what is known as the energy fuel and food crisis and i am not swearing on bbc... fuel and food crisis and i am not swearing on bbc. . ._ fuel and food crisis and i am not swearing on bbc... that's all right, we are well — swearing on bbc... that's all right, we are well past _ swearing on bbc... that's all right, we are well past the _ swearing on bbc... that's all right, we are well past the watershed. i we are well past the watershed. perhaps energy prices could get better but still have fuel and food due to other shortages and that means it's really hard for the

government to get a grip on it and as a result i think probably unwise to spin it as a success as quickly as they have been.— to spin it as a success as quickly as they have been. absolutely. it miaht be as they have been. absolutely. it might be a _ as they have been. absolutely. it might be a little _ as they have been. absolutely. it might be a little premature, - as they have been. absolutely. it i might be a little premature, james. do they want to call this project for your? — do they want to call this project foryour? it do they want to call this project for your? it seems to be with us, does _ for your? it seems to be with us, does it— for your? it seems to be with us, does it not? _ for your? it seems to be with us, does it not? do for your? it seems to be with us, does it not?— does it not? do you feel there is still embrace _ does it not? do you feel there is still embrace a _ does it not? do you feel there is still embrace a question - does it not? do you feel there is still embrace a question that - does it not? do you feel there is| still embrace a question that has not been fully address for the government?— not been fully address for the government? ~ , ., , .., government? well, this was called ro'ect government? well, this was called project fear — government? well, this was called project fear when _ government? well, this was called project fear when the _ government? well, this was called project fear when the sort - government? well, this was called project fear when the sort of - project fear when the sort of problems were raised with supply chains _ problems were raised with supply chains and bore shots and said what a load _ chains and bore shots and said what a load of— chains and bore shots and said what a load of rubbish and its project fear and — a load of rubbish and its project fear and now they are here with us. so i fear and now they are here with us. so i think— fear and now they are here with us. so i think it's — fear and now they are here with us. so i think it's incumbent on him to -et so i think it's incumbent on him to get a _ so i think it's incumbent on him to geta grip— so i think it's incumbent on him to get a grip and get it sorted out. james. — get a grip and get it sorted out. james, front of the daily mail, this is a really interesting story and i'm maybejust missing it, but i'm really surprised that the daily mail is not screaming exclusive on this story because it is a corker. the aa number, story because it is a corker. the aa number. veah- _ story because it is a corker. the aa number, yeah. this _ story because it is a corker. the aa number, yeah. this is _ story because it is a corker. the aa
