11:30 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me again, the political commentator polly mackenzie and david bond, the deputy political editor at the evening standard. just bring you up—to—date with the front pages at home, we've got a full set, even though it is a friday night, when everybody wants to get out of the office early! the times claims prince charles has called government plans to send asylum seekers to rwanda "appalling". that same claim also in the mail. it's after a high courtjudge ruled
11:31 pm
that the first deportation flight can go ahead as planned next week. elsewhere, the guardian says the prime minister's new food strategy doesn't contain plans to tackle rising prices, obesity, childhood hunger or climate change — with the quote "missed opportunity". but the telegraph says the announcement on monday will include changes to planning laws to create more farms and increase production of fruit and veg. as well as the opportunity for poultry workers to be brought in from overseas on short—term contracts. meanwhile, the i claims borisjohnson faces a new plot from conservative rebels to remove him, with the paper reporting nadhim zahawi could be a replacement. a very different story involving the prince of wales in the sun, which claims a secret deal will see strictly come dancing come live from the buckingham palace ballroom later this year. and the daily star reports on britney spears�* wedding. should have been the happiest day of her life. she married fiancee sam asghari,
11:32 pm
but the paper focuses on her former husband jason alexander, who was arrested after allegedly trying to gatecrash the ceremony. let's plunge straight in. david, do you want to kick us off this time with the times story about prince charles? . , ., , , charles? really really interesting sto . and charles? really really interesting story. and what _ charles? really really interesting story. and what a _ charles? really really interesting story. and what a contrast - charles? really really interesting story. and what a contrast this i charles? really really interesting story. and what a contrast this is| story. and what a contrast this is to the front pages, which were full of raw stories, last week, around the platinum jubilee celebrations, the platinum jubilee celebrations, the times and the mail are also reporting, claiming this is an exclusive tonight on their front pages, the prince of wales made private comments that he said that the government's rwanda immigration policy, the plan to send migrants to rwanda rather than try and settle them in the uk, was an appalling... he said the government's whole approach is appalling. these were private comments that were then being reported to the papers via
11:33 pm
source, so we have to treat it perhaps with a little bit of caution, but nevertheless, clarence house is not denying that he opposes the policy, and i guess what this all raises, particular after last weekend... again, we are all thinking about this transition from the queen to prince charles in the years ahead, and we are seeing him step up and play much more important roles, standing in for the queen more and more often, is whether we are going to end up with the sort of king that many people had wondered that we would have, this idea that he might interfere in policy, that he might interfere in policy, that he might interfere in policy, that he might express a view. of course, he might express a view. of course, he is supposed to be politically neutral as the head of state, but he has expressed plenty of controversial and outspoken views in the past. and this willjust add to those on the right, we think that he is going be some kind of woke king,
11:34 pm
and will try and meddle in policy. yeah, the quotes on this, polly, the prince of wales saying he disagreed and private, saying the government approach is appalling for some that quote appears on the front of the mail as well, which draws a contrast between his objections and apparently the acquiescence of the judge. apparently the acquiescence of the 'ud . e. ., , apparently the acquiescence of the “udue. ., , , apparently the acquiescence of the “udue. . , , , judge. the “udge has permitted this, thou:h judge. the 'udge has permitted this, thou:h it judge. the judge has permitted this, though it will — judge. the judge has permitted this, though it will be _ judge. the judge has permitted this, though it will be appealed, - judge. the judge has permitted this, though it will be appealed, we - though it will be appealed, we expect, — though it will be appealed, we expect, but we now think that the first of— expect, but we now think that the first of their attempts to move those — first of their attempts to move those wishing to claim asylum in the uk to— those wishing to claim asylum in the uk to rwanda, to claim asylum there instead, _ uk to rwanda, to claim asylum there instead, and — uk to rwanda, to claim asylum there instead, and it is tricky with this, because, — instead, and it is tricky with this, because, as _ instead, and it is tricky with this, because, as it happens, i agree with charles, _ because, as it happens, i agree with charles, i_ because, as it happens, i agree with charles, i think it is appalling and i don't know what the government is trying _ idon't know what the government is trying to— i don't know what the government is trying to do. — i don't know what the government is trying to do, but actually charles, who will_ trying to do, but actually charles, who will he — trying to do, but actually charles, who will be king, potentially sooner than we _ who will be king, potentially sooner than we might wish, given her

analysis— that they agree with a lot of the analysis and many of their recommendations, stepping back from anything _ recommendations, stepping back from anything controversial to an old—school conservative base, and it is the _ old—school conservative base, and it is the abandonment of a lot of boris johnson's _ is the abandonment of a lot of boris johnson's most authentic, i think, politics. _ johnson's most authentic, i think, politics, around working with zach goldsmith — politics, around working with zach goldsmith on infirmity policy. his wife, _ goldsmith on infirmity policy. his wife, carriejohnson, goldsmith on infirmity policy. his wife, carrie johnson, former convene or of conservative net environmentalists, using our land policy— environmentalists, using our land policy pushed brexit to tackle climate — policy pushed brexit to tackle climate change, huge predictions from _ climate change, huge predictions from the — climate change, huge predictions from the private mr about trying to -et from the private mr about trying to get the _ from the private mr about trying to get the nation fit, change our diets -- from _ get the nation fit, change our diets -- from the — get the nation fit, change our diets —— from the prime minister. all of that is disappearing, a5 —— from the prime minister. all of that is disappearing, as the ft and guardian— that is disappearing, as the ft and guardian is— that is disappearing, as the ft and guardian is reporting. it is only the telegraph which is more optimistic for it is more farming,
11:39 pm
which _ optimistic for it is more farming, which is — optimistic for it is more farming, which is probably in itself, which is a good — which is probably in itself, which is a good thing, but what kind of soil management are we going to use? what is _ 5oil management are we going to use? what is that— soil management are we going to use? what is that going to affect with climate — what is that going to affect with climate change? are we going to reduce _ climate change? are we going to reduce our— climate change? are we going to reduce our meat and dairy consumption of which have such a big climate _ consumption of which have such a big climate footprint? and i think the government's answer is, no, we cannot— government's answer is, no, we cannot be — government's answer is, no, we cannot be bothered with that. is on the detail in _ cannot be bothered with that. is on the detail in it, _ cannot be bothered with that. is on the detail in it, apparently their report's recommendations is on reducing a —— introducing a sugar tax... guaranteeing farms of —— farm subsidies and investing in the food sector. it is all admirable stuff, but effectively what they are saying, david, is that — the ft, at least — it is nice, but we cannot afford at the moment because of the cost—of—living crisis. and as polly said, the telegraph puts a spin on
11:40 pm
it. the glass is half—full, there is lots of good stuff to come, and he is going to endorse on the key ideas in it. i is going to endorse on the key ideas in it. ~' ., ,., ., in it. i think there are some valid concerns in. _ in it. i think there are some valid concerns in, which _ in it. i think there are some valid concerns in, which you _ in it. i think there are some valid concerns in, which you have - in it. i think there are some valid concerns in, which you have to l concerns in, which you have to acknowledge. people are really feeling squeezed. food prices are really very high, partly exacerbated by the war in ukraine but also due to post pandemic supply chain crunches, rising bills and all the stuff we have talked about for months now, so the ideas you can impose or introduce a tax on food as well, which will push a people's prices, that is hard to see, but you have to see this policy and the broader context of what is happening with for chanson, and it is only days ago he faced a confidence vote. —— with borisjohnson. this policy, is all part of this attempt to reset
11:41 pm
his government, to appeal to those conservative mps who have lost faith in him and want to see them get squarely back onto the kind of conservative policies that they want to see, and we will see it next week with the brexit bill to give ministers the power to override elements of the northern ireland protocol. we saw it the other day with the housing speech, yesterday the housing speech, the right to buy scheme, echoing margaret thatcher in the 1980s, so borisjohnson is having to act fast, brought these policies quickly, and some pricks are saying that the detail is not always there and that he has not set all these things through, but this food strategy —— some critics are saying. as polly is putting out earlier, a lot of this stuff, boris johnson is hugely in favour of not that long ago. it is
11:42 pm
johnson is hugely in favour of not that long ago-— that long ago. it is curious. the guardian. _ that long ago. it is curious. the guardian, polly, _ that long ago. it is curious. the guardian, polly, says _ that long ago. it is curious. the guardian, polly, says that - that long ago. it is curious. the l guardian, polly, says that among that long ago. it is curious. the - guardian, polly, says that among the things they will not be as anything to tackle the impact of rising food prices on the cost—of—living crisis or to address calls for lower meat and dairy consumption, and then it goes on to say there is some tentative support for more fish farming which is very mentally controversial, along with the suggestion of increasing response ly sourced wild venison. the danger for the government is this may not feel like a future energy that addresses the average family struggling with the average family struggling with the cost of living crisis —— food strategy. the cost of living crisis -- food strate: . ,., , the cost of living crisis -- food strategy-— the cost of living crisis -- food strate: . ,., , ., , strategy. the venison feels a bit like when they _ strategy. the venison feels a bit like when they reopened - strategy. the venison feels a bit like when they reopened grouse| like when they reopened grouse shooting — like when they reopened grouse shooting and you thought, who are they talking to? why is this the priority? — they talking to? why is this the priority? i— they talking to? why is this the priority? i think we have to challenge this idea that it is... oh, _ challenge this idea that it is... 0h, they— challenge this idea that it is... oh, they cannot do it because of the 0h, they cannot do it because of the cost of— 0h, they cannot do it because of the cost of living crisis. some of these recommendations were about tackling food poverty and expanding high—quality preschool mills. that

11:45 pm
countries _ different fuel standards to european countries that you will get these bil countries that you will get these big suvs — countries that you will get these big suvs that are doing eight or nine miles to the gallon, so trying to run— nine miles to the gallon, so trying to run a _ nine miles to the gallon, so trying to run a car— nine miles to the gallon, so trying to run a car like that with prices like these — to run a car like that with prices like these will be truly extraordinary, and we know thatjoe biden— extraordinary, and we know thatjoe biden and _ extraordinary, and we know thatjoe biden and the democrats pushed through— biden and the democrats pushed through a huge stimulus package of billions _ through a huge stimulus package of billions of— through a huge stimulus package of billions of dollars to direct support— billions of dollars to direct support to families, and whether that is— support to families, and whether that is a — support to families, and whether that is a direct cause of inflation or whether— that is a direct cause of inflation or whether that is much, much more completed _ or whether that is much, much more completed with that, particular to do is _ completed with that, particular to do is fuel— completed with that, particular to do is fuel shortages and the post covid _ do is fuel shortages and the post covid unwinding, it does not matter, any political — covid unwinding, it does not matter, any political terms, because the republicans have a strong narrative that it _ republicans have a strong narrative that it is _ republicans have a strong narrative that it is all— republicans have a strong narrative that it is all the democrats vote for reckless spending and bad economic movement, and that will, i think. _ economic movement, and that will, i think. just _ economic movement, and that will, i think, just add extra difficulties for the — think, just add extra difficulties for the democrats when it comes to the midterms that they will face later— the midterms that they will face later in— the midterms that they will face later in the year.— the midterms that they will face later in the year.- i - the midterms that they will face later in the year.- i think| later in the year. david? i think what it tells — later in the year. david? i think what it tells you _ later in the year. david? i think what it tells you is _ later in the year. david? i think what it tells you is that - later in the year. david? i think
11:46 pm
what it tells you is that it - later in the year. david? i think what it tells you is that it is - later in the year. david? i think what it tells you is that it is a i what it tells you is that it is a big global problem. us inflation has now hit a 20% of the we know that inflation in april in this country was 9% —— has now hit 8.6%. it is driven by the war in ukraine and those post pandemic supply chain problems, and it is quite interesting to see howjoe biden's coming under a lot of pressure as a democrat, and borisjohnson is coming under a lot of pressure to do more with the cost of living on the right here in the uk, so i think it is posing very, very difficult challenges, to policymakers all around the world, and how you deal with this, and at the moment, the answer seems to be for central banks to push up interest rates even higher. we will probably have a another rate rise here next week, which will put houses under even more pressure. it is which will put houses under even more pressure.— which will put houses under even more pressure. it is kind of hard to net our more pressure. it is kind of hard to get your hand _ had around, a rate rise every month,
11:47 pm
because we have gone years and years and years without any at all? david, takes onto those likely consequences in all of this. this is the i. potentially really explosive bullet points or borisjohnson. potentially really explosive bullet points or boris johnson.— potentially really explosive bullet points or boris johnson. some really interestin: points or boris johnson. some really interesting detail— points or boris johnson. some really interesting detail in _ points or boris johnson. some really interesting detail in the _ points or boris johnson. some really interesting detail in the i, _ interesting detail in the i, tonight, the tory rebels, they misfired on monday, because although they got many more than expected to, they got many more than expected to, they got many more than expected to, they got 148, two voting is boris johnson in that confidence vote, the anticipation was it was going to be around 120, they did not dislodge him, and there is no mechanism at the moment people in westminster parent for to lead another vote. there's been talk of changing the rules so that may be borisjohnson would face another confidence vote within a year, because at the moment it has to be immunity from a challenge for 12 months, but what the reporting is that there might be
11:48 pm
a bit of a loophole where you could get local conservative party chairs to actually express concern, they can hold a general meeting, and vote against the prime minister —— what the i is reporting. that is a bit of a loophole. he was threatened against theresa may by, of all people, jacob rees—mogg. it would be really interesting if that goes anywhere. the other is using detail in the story is talking of education secretary nadhim zahawi emerging as a unity candidate. one of the problems of the rebels has been there is no one is to coalesce around. jeremy hunt made his move on monday, but you get the feeling that not everyone is entirely convinced with him, but maybe in him, they have found someone both sides of the party could come around and gather around and take them into the next
