10:31 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejohn stapleton who is a broadcaster and kate proctor who is the editor of politics home and the house magazine. let's take a look at some of tomorrow's front pages starting with the metro leads on the resignation of the tory mp owen paterson — saying the former minister has finally quit. owen paterson's departure also makes the front page of the ft — though its main story is about the bank of england leaving interest rates unchanged. the guardian splashes on the owen paterson story — quoting "furious" tory mps saying the whole affair has been an own goal for the party.
10:32 pm
and the story also makes the lead in the telegraph — which says pressure is mounting on the party's chief whip mark spencer to quit over what it says has been a "debacle". and the i sums up the westminster news as simply a day of "chaos" in downing street. the daily mirror carries a story about the death of the veteran entertainer lionel blair, who has died at the age of 92. and a picture of lionel blair dominates the front page of the yorkshire post. its lead is a story about sponsors leaving its county cricket club due to a racism row. so, let's begin. a bit more of a proper look and let us start with kate and the guardian and the very strong front—page story tories plunged into crisis after sleaze rules you turn and tory mps reacting with fury afterjohnson withdrew in less than 2a hours after
10:33 pm
ordering them to support this incredibly controversial amendment. conservative backbench mps feel incredibly used over the last 2a hours. it sounds to me like there was a very heavy operation happening saying there is supposed to disband the current standards committee system and the committee system and try to replace it with something else. many of them dutifully went through the lobbies and even had members on the move only forjust a few hours into the parliamentary sessions and there is a huge, they realise this was not a good look, not a good idea they should not have been trained to change the standards committee at this point in time and if you leap forward to a few hours, the x minister that we are talking about, who was the person that is investigated over his lobbying over the last two years and was in breach of the rules, he decided to quit as
10:34 pm
an mp altogether. so, it's been really extraordinary day. it's been pretty fast moving but i think the fury and the anger that i think the guardian is trying to pick up on is very real and i think it's only a handful of mps, conservative mps that stood firm and didn't go through the lobby vote we heard so many things about the pressure that was applied to them to vote in favour of it. so, i think the very embarrassed and you're going to hear lots of quotes about this in general. lots of quotes about this in ueneral. �* , lots of quotes about this in ueneral. v .,, lots of quotes about this in ueneral. �*, ., ., , lots of quotes about this in ueneral. �*, . , , ., , lots of quotes about this in ueneral. �*, . , , ., general. it's as many questions of the prime minister _ general. it's as many questions of the prime minister are _ general. it's as many questions of the prime minister are failing - the prime minister are failing to anticipate the scale of the disquiet. anticipate the scale of the disquiet-— anticipate the scale of the dis uiet. �* . ,~' ., ,~ , disquiet. and when asked asked why did the do disquiet. and when asked asked why did they do this. _ disquiet. and when asked asked why did they do this. go _ disquiet. and when asked asked why did they do this. go ahead _ disquiet. and when asked asked why did they do this. go ahead and - disquiet. and when asked asked why did they do this. go ahead and make his 30 _ did they do this. go ahead and make his 30 days — did they do this. go ahead and make his 30 days suspension, possibly a risk of— his 30 days suspension, possibly a risk of a _ his 30 days suspension, possibly a risk of a by— his 30 days suspension, possibly a risk of a by election. a but it wasn't — risk of a by election. a but it wasn't that important. 23000 and its

10:37 pm
defendant this morning and the u—turn will have been agreed to by borisjohnson. it is completely down to him, his team, the political advisers around him and asjohn said, i think it is a very poor reading of their position generally within that party that may be there are some issues that they can push because they have this huge 80 seat majority and there may be some kind of study politics to get through which you want but reading the temperature on this, it was just so off and we've seen loads of u—turns but this a particularly swift one but this a particularly swift one but just but this a particularly swift one butjust notes some accountability, it's borisjohnson. find butjust notes some accountability, it's boris johnson._ it's boris johnson. and you asked wh the it's boris johnson. and you asked why they did _ it's boris johnson. and you asked why they did this _ it's boris johnson. and you asked why they did this and _ it's boris johnson. and you asked why they did this and if _ it's boris johnson. and you asked why they did this and if you - it's boris johnson. and you asked why they did this and if you lookl it's boris johnson. and you asked | why they did this and if you look at the front page of the telegraph, obviously conservative supporting newspaper but from mps, they said the telegraph has learned that another row of standards is looming after they had refurbishment and

10:40 pm
public follows the details or how much they think all politicians are not to be trusted in the first place and whether they are more concerned about what government does for them and what difference it makes their own lives rather than anything that be going on in westminster. the recent be going on in westminster. tie: recent conservative be going on in westminster. t'te: recent conservative party conference, talked a lot about the election and the consensus for some conservative mps never spoken to is really that they've been led from the redwall seeds and will be given it again and if they change parties, they will allow them to have a good run of things than i would be thinking, this might actually change and this isn't something that is so now don i think the announcement of the telegraph is right, really. he says it's easier to see how the tories and. i think what has happened is we've just had to build up happened is we've just had to build up and so each individual story,
10:41 pm
it's very small, some of them say their westminster bubble stories is booming at them together, the public may start to have this feeling of unease and those people who lent their votes for the first time, this probably is the time for the party that they thought they were voting for. it really isn't these bold, let's get things done, but also try to be on the side of the workers, all the sort of emboldening language about a new look for the tory party fighting for you. ifeel about a new look for the tory party fighting for you. i feel like the class elements of the mercury sleaziest stuff, some that comes around again and you can put all the stories together and create quite a strong narrative against them, i think the conservatives could be in more trouble than they think at the moment. ., ., moment. the government have defended their osition moment. the government have defended their position all _ moment. the government have defended their position all the _ moment. the government have defended their position all the way _ moment. the government have defended their position all the way through - their position all the way through this, saying that the felt this new system for looking into these matters that was needed. it has been
10:42 pm

10:43 pm
dramatic— centre of this found out about this dramatic u—turn when when your colleagues — dramatic u—turn when when your colleagues at the bbc report about it. colleagues at the bbc report about it he _ colleagues at the bbc report about it he had — colleagues at the bbc report about it. he had no idea and he had been ditched _ it. he had no idea and he had been ditched hy— it. he had no idea and he had been ditched by his own party. communications in the reading of the situation _ communications in the reading of the situation have left a great deal to be desired but i'm sure that's what many— be desired but i'm sure that's what many supporters in the backbench mps are thinking _ many supporters in the backbench mps are thinking today. that many supporters in the backbench mps are thinking today.— are thinking today. that is the story that _ are thinking today. that is the story that we _ are thinking today. that is the story that we see _ are thinking today. that is the story that we see that - are thinking today. that is the story that we see that is - are thinking today. that is the i story that we see that is not over yet. let us move on, if we can. and ijust want yet. let us move on, if we can. and i just want to have a look at this, none of the story of the telegraph which is ? now to focus on. tree birding instead of electricity. 25 million trees a year despite the deforestation pledge ? burning. a lot of attention was on cop26 and we
10:44 pm
will get into that later. but a people focusing on the details of the policy? t people focusing on the details of the oli ? . , people focusing on the details of the oli ? .,, . people focusing on the details of the policy?— the policy? i was at cop26 earlier this week and _ the policy? i was at cop26 earlier this week and it _ the policy? i was at cop26 earlier this week and it is _ the policy? i was at cop26 earlier this week and it is an _ the policy? i was at cop26 earlier this week and it is an enormous l this week and it is an enormous quite bewildering event and i think really, the best way to analyse this is going to be at the very end because a few of the moment which is being trimmed said policies, whether it's in the uk or individual countries and i know they're trying to theme things of this climate change summit saying that this is finance day, youth day, were going to do trees, cool. they're trying to put things out in a coherent order but i think you're on really going to tell at the end when you add up all the policies and see whether or not it's going to have an impact on carbon reduction in getting global temperatures down and this is a really good story from the telegraph and talking about trying to reverse the destruction of forests in the uk
10:45 pm
in the brain is going to continue to produce electricity and tree burning of 25 million trees and all of this adds to the overall theme that all of these policies sign for the board but when it comes out in the wash that's not quite as it seems that things may take a lot longer the transition and it's not only the telegraph they're keeping an eye on this, certain newspapers are doing thejob of monitoring it this, certain newspapers are doing the job of monitoring it and looking at the different policies and seeing how much they're going to make a difference, there is a long way to go with this. is going to take a little while yet to be able to analyse these policies in full. thea;r analyse these policies in full. they have continued with the story of the cricket club being plunged further into crisis over the azeem rafiq

scandal.
