hello, welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are adam payne, the political editor at politics home, and natalie fahy, who's senior editor, amongst other titles, including the nottingham post. now, tomorrow's front pages. huge profits for bp on the front of the mirror. the paper points out that the oil giant made almost £7 billion in three months, as household energy bills soar. that story also in the guardian, highlighting what it calls "outrage" in response and accusations of "unfettered profiteering."

the paper also shows the us house speaker nancy pelosi on her controversial trip to taiwan. the metro leads with the latest developments in the case of archie battersbee. his mother says the 12—year—old's life support will start to be withdrawn from 11 o'clock tomorrow, after an unsuccessful bid to appeal to the supreme court. meanwhile, the i focuses on efforts to ensure more schoolgirls can play football, following the success of the lionesses. the paper claims they won't get the same opportunities as boys in pe, despite focus on the legacy of england's euros victory. liz truss�*s u—turn on regional pay for public sector workers leads the yorkshire post. the leadership candidate scrapped the proposals to cut pay for those outside of london and the south—east after a backlash.

so, let's begin and thank you very much forjoining us. let's begin with the mirror. these brazen profiteers, as they call them. what are we thinking? six point 9,000,000,003 months as households are struggling. weill. households are struggling. well, this isn't the _ households are struggling. well, this isn't the first _ households are struggling. well, this isn't the first story _ households are struggling. well, this isn't the first story we've - households are struggling. -m this isn't the first story we've had in recent weeks of that energy giant recording huge profits while at the same time, households in the country are facing rising energy bills. i think the energy gap is expected to surpass £3400 in october, which clearly is an eye watering the large increase. it's expected to rise again in early next year,

potentially £3850. so we have a situation where energy giant are recording these fantastically massive profit numbers, but families and households around the country, particularly those who are and if not living in poverty now, have sadly face that prospect soon, are looking at these bills and thinking how on earth are they going to pay this. borisjohnson's government, this. boris johnson's government, but this. borisjohnson's government, but the next right minister is going to be under huge pressure to do something about this stuff like natalie, do you think this is government... d0 natalie, do you think this is government. . ._ natalie, do you think this is government... natalie, do you think this is covernment... ,, ~ , , government... do you think this is u . government... do you think this is u- to government... do you think this is up to government _ government... do you think this is up to government to _ government... do you think this is up to government to put _ government... do you think this is up to government to put right? i l up to government to put right? i think no one can still decide exactly— think no one can still decide exactly what that should be, whether the windfall tax should be increased or whether — the windfall tax should be increased or whether a company should be left to get— or whether a company should be left to get on_ or whether a company should be left to get on with it. but i think what

about in regards to the united kingdom �*s energy prices, whether other countries in europe in particular germany, the point being that this is affecting countries around the world. so, while there are actions the uk government can take, there are reasonable arguments that this government should be doing more. there is also an argument there is only so much this government can do. when the crisis is global by definition. let's hope this doesn't happen, but there's a very real chance that russia decides to further reduce gas supplies, or cut them off altogether to europe. if that does happen, this situation is only going to get worse. just ickin: is only going to get worse. just picking op _

pay boards for sector worker. as things stand, pay for public sector workers is decided on a national level, but what she proposes is the pay is decided in regards to where you live. if you live in the northwest, then your pay as a civil servant, etc, would be in line with the local conditions. it was controversial because her announcement suggested that under this plan, public sector workers outside of london and the southeast would eventually be paid less. clearly, this would fly in the face of the leveling up project, which was central to borisjohnson's government and both truss and sunak are under big pressure to continue doing their ministrations. so what

happened today was this backlash from mps supporting rishi sunak, a backlash from the labour party, and notably, tory mps who support liz truss were pretty silent as well. around lunchtime, she u—turn is that she would go ahead with this idea of regional pay boards. it remains to be seen how much damage this saga... without a doubt, it was the most difficult and embarrassing day for her so far. �* ., difficult and embarrassing day for her so far. . ., _, , , her so far. and of course, rishi sunak, her so far. and of course, rishi sunak. who's — her so far. and of course, rishi sunak, who's also _ her so far. and of course, rishi sunak, who's also the - her so far. and of course, rishi sunak, who's also the contest, | her so far. and of course, rishi i sunak, who's also the contest, he weighed to say he was speechless. we were going to hearfrom him about this, and it goes against boris johnson's leveling up mission. we did get an interesting statement from liz truss's spokesperson, who said there was willful miss rep —— misrepresentation by the media. that

today. i believe i'm right in saying that she is the most senior official to do so in 25 years from the us. i think i'm right in saying it comes in a moment of considerable uncertainty and anxiety from a western point of view in regards to that region. china might make a move on taiwan, especially why the west is distracted by ukraine. nancy pelosi's visit was a big moment. let's hope your colleague is right in that it doesn't front to try not to take military action, but beijing did warn that will be serious consequences, i think was the language used today. as i said, it comes at a time of geopolitical instability. let's hope your colleague is correct that it doesn't lead to an escalation. and
