hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are aubrey allegretti who is the political correspondent at the guardian and geri scott, who is a political reporter at the times. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... let's start with the telegraph, which leads on the tory leadership race, and a pledge from rishi sunak to cap the number of refugees able to come to the uk. the scottish mail on sunday reports on what it calls the grim and ugly conditions on ferries in which ukrainian refugees are being sent to live.
11:31 pm
the mirror leads on the cost of living crisis, with a piece about nhs nurses having to sell their annual leave to get by. the prime minister's legacy makes the front page of the express, in which the pm says we've taken back control of our borders, kept our streets safe, and invested in the nhs. the times leads with a story about the declining number of full—time gps, as they struggle to cope with the work load that comes with a 48—hour week. and the aftershocks of brexit make the front page of the observer, which leads with a report on how recent travel chaos will become the new normal. so let's begin... let's start with the sunday telegraph and this pledge from rishi sunak to cap the number of refugees. mist and sunak to cap the number of refugees.

11:35 pm
those in the right of the party but in the process, ever liz truss then feels she has to go further to make sure she gets that support, are they not at risk of losing people towards the left of the party who may feel, hang on, this is not what we want? i hang on, this is not what we want? i don't think so, actually, because liz truss has already said she will create more deals like those that we have read rwanda, and actually it is quite a popular policy. in that peace where there are charities saying this is creating anger, whether that is oxfam or christian aid, what you will notice is that labour ran their response, they are not saying we shouldn't be doing this because it is cruel, what they are actually saying is it has been a waste of money. we had a story over the weekend from the times that rebound i can only currently accept 200 refugees on the current scheme. —— that rwanda can only accept 200
11:36 pm
refugees. so, iam not sure —— that rwanda can only accept 200 refugees. so, i am not sure it will alienate that side of the party. if you stick to the 2019 mps in the red wool seats, their voters say to them that they care about this and the small votes issue is massive for them. i am not convinced it will alienate to many people which is why both candidates are going very hard on this because it is also winner them. it is fertile ground to get that support. them. it is fertile ground to get that smart-— that support. let's turn to the sunday express. _ that support. let's turn to the sunday express. we - that support. let's turn to the sunday express. we have - that support. let's turn to the | sunday express. we have been that support. let's turn to the - sunday express. we have been talk about the next prime minister. the current prime minister is keen that we don't forget him in a hurry and really trying to cement his legacy with some of the things he feels he has achieved, and he set them out in this article. what do you think? is what he said fair, that he did take back control?— what he said fair, that he did take back control? yes, slightly hard to believe but — back control? yes, slightly hard to believe but it _ back control? yes, slightly hard to believe but it is _ back control? yes, slightly hard to believe but it is actually _ back control? yes, slightly hard to believe but it is actually going - back control? yes, slightly hard to believe but it is actually going to l believe but it is actually going to believe but it is actually going to be three — believe but it is actually going to be three years to the day since boris _

11:39 pm
to remind — in the last few months, he will try to remind everyone very much about the positives. gn to remind everyone very much about the positives— the positives. on that point, jerry, aubrey says _ the positives. on that point, jerry, aubrey says boris _ the positives. on that point, jerry, aubrey says boris johnson - the positives. on that point, jerry, aubrey says boris johnson won't i the positives. on that point, jerry, i aubrey says boris johnson won't wilt away into the background, what you think he will do next? it is hard to him taking on them mantle that theresa may took on, hard—working diligent backbencher, pops up occasionally and is seen as the sage estates person chipping in. what occasionally and is seen as the sage estates person chipping in. what you think he will— estates person chipping in. what you think he will do? _ estates person chipping in. what you think he will do? well, _ estates person chipping in. what you think he will do? well, if— think he will do? well, if tomorrow's sunday times is to believed, which it should be, it is probably not the end of boris johnson and some of those close to him think he might have another shot at being prime minister in the future. we know that his hero is winston churchill, we know he came back for another round and boris johnson may believe that he can do so and actually that was suggested to me a couple of weeks ago by redwall mps, but i don't know if
11:40 pm
thatis redwall mps, but i don't know if that is going to happen. but i think you are right in that he is not going to fade away into the background. i imagine he will pop up at various speaking events and he will make interjections when he feels that he should do so, which i imagine will be quite often. he does have a very important book on shakespeare to write, which has been put off for a while, so i am sure he will turn his attentions to that. is it interesting you say the door was open to him to become prime minister again, i sat in as the richer watching his last pmqs, and the way he finished it, hasta la vista, that ever were close, it was set up to us in his own words. let's turn to the observer, not sure about your travel 0bserver, not sure about your travel plans but i think a lot of people have seen all the problems with flights and airports, we will catch the ferry instead, it will be easy and no hassle and the frustration they must be feeling with this. but
11:41 pm

11:44 pm
said is they didn't cause brexit, this isn't theirfault. i think said is they didn't cause brexit, this isn't their fault. i think this is going to go on for quite a while, and quite a bit more before begetter solution. but this isn't the first time we have seen queues at dover and it won't be the last either. let's take one last topic, and it really is the cost of living crisis and expands two stories. the sunday describes it as no longer being feasible to be a full—time gp because of the additional workload and bureaucracy and paperwork that comes with a 48—hour week and in the mirror, nhs staff selling annual leave to be able to pay their bills. those to put together give us a glimpse of why the nhs, it can sometimes feel it is very hard to see anyone, aubrey.— sometimes feel it is very hard to see anyone, aubrey. yes, absolutely, and both of— see anyone, aubrey. yes, absolutely, and both of these _ see anyone, aubrey. yes, absolutely, and both of these stories _ see anyone, aubrey. yes, absolutely, and both of these stories are - and both of these stories are incredible to read, the detail within— incredible to read, the detail within them. they paint a picture of how the _ within them. they paint a picture of how the cost of living crisis and
