heavy and thundery, overnight again, heavy and thundery, eventually arriving into scotland. behind them clearer skies perhaps some mist and fog. temperatures no lower than 15 or 16 celsius. the weekend brings some showers for many, particularly still in drought and slowly the temperatures start to ease to. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the journalist and broadcaster caroline frost and the parliamentaryjournalist tony grew. welcome to you both. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the i front page looks ahead to the announcement of a new tory leader tomorrow, referring to the frontrunner liz truss as "prime minister in waiting". the daily telegraph reports that liz truss is considering freezing energy bills for millions of households if she wins,

to avoid an energy "amageddon". the express also leads with ms truss�*s promise of "immediate" action on energy bills in herfirst week, if she becomes prime minister. more politics on the front of ft, which headlines a pledge from kwasi kwarteng who is likely to become chancellor if truss wins. he says the public finances will be in safe hands. liz truss is also on the front of the guardian — reporting that the likely prime minister will press on with tax cuts, despite tory warnings. "now bbc comic mocks liz truss" reads the front of the daily mail — referring to comedianjoe lycett�*s appearance on laura kuenssberg's new sunday morning politics show this morning. the metro leads with the news that three men have been arrested in connection to the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel in liverpool. and "tears for beers" reads the front of the star — reporting that energy costs for pubs could rise by 500%.

so let's begin. caroline and tony, welcome to you both. no surprises that liz truss on the front of most of tomorrow's papers. let's start with the daily telegraph, cuddling, they are suggesting that despite she refused to give any details about what she was going to do, freezing bills will be her top goal. was going to do, freezing bills will be her tap goal-— was going to do, freezing bills will be her top goal. yes, because as of tomorrow lunchtime, _ be her top goal. yes, because as of tomorrow lunchtime, i— be her top goal. yes, because as of tomorrow lunchtime, i mean, - be her top goal. yes, because as ofi tomorrow lunchtime, i mean, there are two courts of interest, and there? up until 1230, are two courts of interest, and there? up until1230, it are two courts of interest, and there? up until 1230, it is all about the voters, the tory party, the people squeezing her into downing street. although we should clarify the voting has closed. in a theory, she is free to say what she likes, however, the day when the bell rings and she is anointed, it will all be about the electorate who will all be about the electorate who will expect really quite an emergency solution with all this fuel crisis going on. so it looks as though she may have to do something she has become ratherfamous for already, which is a big old u—turn

and the phasing of the bills, which we know the labour party have been calling for for some time —— the freezing of the bills. she calling for for some time -- the freezing of the bills.— calling for for some time -- the freezing of the bills. she said she is not in favour _ freezing of the bills. she said she is not in favour of _ freezing of the bills. she said she is not in favour of hand-outs - freezing of the bills. she said she is not in favour of hand-outs at l freezing of the bills. she said she i is not in favour of hand-outs at the is not in favour of hand—outs at the beginning of this, didn't she? this is labour's plan, isn't it, tony? it is labour's plan, isn't it, tony? it is a logical plan, because the labour— is a logical plan, because the labour party said it, does not mean it as theirs — labour party said it, does not mean it as theirs exclusively. it will be a week_ it as theirs exclusively. it will be a week for— it as theirs exclusively. it will be a week for liz truss if you can spare — a week for liz truss if you can spare minister on tuesday, she has promised _ spare minister on tuesday, she has promised an— spare minister on tuesday, she has promised an action on energy bills and will_ promised an action on energy bills and will announce with any weak of taking _ and will announce with any weak of taking office, she says full stop we do not _ taking office, she says full stop we do not know much about the plan to understand — do not know much about the plan to understand why she has been a little cagey— understand why she has been a little cagey during the campaign about not pronouncing stuff. she needs to get in, pronouncing stuff. she needs to get in. see _ pronouncing stuff. she needs to get in, see what the treasury is saying in, see what the treasury is saying in terms _ in, see what the treasury is saying in terms of— in, see what the treasury is saying in terms of the financial situation. it is in terms of the financial situation. it is pretty— in terms of the financial situation. it is pretty clear to anyone looking at the _ it is pretty clear to anyone looking at the scene that the government has to intervene _ at the scene that the government has to intervene on energy prices for consumers. _ to intervene on energy prices for consumers, and particularly businesses because small businesses are being _ businesses because small businesses are being given telephone size bills for their—

taxes and increased spending and all these great promises she is making. people are going to say, where is it coming from? she is seeing growth, and that ties into the markets because that ties into the markets because thatis that ties into the markets because that is good news on the one hand, but on the other, she has also said there is a problem with interest rates because the only way the bank of england can control inflation is to raise interest rates, which then eventually cuts of the other piece of string so that all those people who are being encouraged to go out and spend suddenly find that having rising deposits to buy houses, so the growth being promised suddenly becomes a lot harder to attain. an income it will be an interesting week. i think the emergencies of assay for the consumers, those fuel bills, energy bills going into winter, but this is obviously the medium ion that horizon saying a markets keep the faith, even though we may have two because it is the only way to move forward in this country at the moment, but keep the faith that we are keeping an eye on the big banks
