hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are parliamentary journalist tony grew and the journalist and broadcaster caroline frost. tomorrow's front pages... platinum jubilee celebrations in all of the papers. maj—ical is the headline in the metro, with a picture

showing the queen's appearance on the buckingham palace balcony. the queen front and centre of the daily telegraph, as the paper reports on her statement to the public — saying the monarch has reaffirmed her commitment to serve the nation. the times says the members of the royal family chosen to appear on the balcony are a message about the future of the monarchy. it was a slimmed—down royal family, according to the i. but the paper also looks at boris johnson's future, saying a vote on his leadership could come this week. the guardian claims allies of the pm are preparing for a confidence vote, and says borisjohnson will launch a policy fightback focusing on health and housing. that story continued in the financial times, showing the prime minister and labour leader, keir starmer, watching the platinumjubilee pageant. but the paper leads with reports of a 90% drop in the value

of public listings in the us and europe since the war in ukraine started. 0k, let us begin our chat. tony and caroline, lovely to see you both. we're going to start off with the metro. caroline, if you could kick that off. majical is that headline. yes. a -icture majical is that headline. yes. a picture telling _ majical is that headline. yes. a picture telling 1000 _ majical is that headline. yes. a picture telling 1000 words, - picture telling 1000 words, encapsulating the mood of the day. a nice play onwards, majical — see what they did? i think the queen was the star of the show over the last four days, and we have the great element of the queen last night. because she's becoming increasingly elusive, there is a certain... when she does appear, i think that was

her vote of confidence when it was raised, but severely, chastised and weekend as a leader. even if boris johnson loses, if he wins by one vote, he's not for going, so i'm not quite sure what happens. i'm not sure we've had a precedent for such just a sort of bombastic... somebody clings onto power. we saw this with donald trump. i never expected to see anything similar in this country. the fact that he won't go unless dragged out by his fingernails clinging to the desk seems unseemly, yet it may be what comes to pass. the seems unseemly, yet it may be what comes to pass-— comes to pass. the yorkshire post, travel disruption _ comes to pass. the yorkshire post, travel disruption again _ comes to pass. the yorkshire post, travel disruption again this - travel disruption again this weekend. the army, a solution, but no, says grant shapps. grant shapps knows as well as anyone else that _ grant shapps knows as well as anyone else that the army is a low level not seen — else that the army is a low level not seen since the napoleonic wars.
