hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are kevin schofield, political editor of huffpost uk, and anna mikhailova, deputy political editor at the mail on sunday. tomorrow's front pages. the telegraph says the bank of england will set its biggest rate rise since black wednesday in 1992. the times focues on sunak preparing extend windfall taxes on oil and gas companies to raise an estimated £40 billion over five years. the guardian reports

on the home office abandoning asylum seekers on a london street. same story in the i — calling it a "major error". the metro pictures a family who are attemping to stop the bus to rescue a young man seeking asylum. the independent reports the prime minister could axe spending pledges he made when he ran to be leader. the daily star reads "vote coco" in a bid to make matt hancock compete in every bush tucker trial when he goes on the itv show i'm a celeb. we begin with the times, word on the front page, rishi sunak prepares big tax grab from energy firms, windfall extension to raise £40 billion. was he always in favour of a windfall tax during the leadership campaign? talk us through the genesis of the idea. {iii talk us through the genesis of the idea. . ., , , talk us through the genesis of the idea. _, , , ,, ., ~

it. a lot of people say it would make a lot of sense. the times reporting that the current tax on these energy companies will be both extended and the levy will actually go extended and the levy will actually 9° up extended and the levy will actually go up from 25% to 30%, and also more companies will fall into scope. kevin, anna was saying she is hard pushed to find anyone against it, is that how you say it? i pushed to find anyone against it, is that how you say it?— that how you say it? i think on the riaht of that how you say it? i think on the right of the _ that how you say it? i think on the right of the conservative - that how you say it? i think on the right of the conservative party, i that how you say it? i think on the right of the conservative party, a l right of the conservative party, a lot of— right of the conservative party, a lot of mp5 — right of the conservative party, a lot of mps will not be happy. idea logically _ lot of mps will not be happy. idea logically they are opposed to windfall taxes even though margaret thatcher_ windfall taxes even though margaret thatcher introduced one on the banks in the _ thatcher introduced one on the banks in the 19805. they see it as anti—bu5ine55, and it would deter investment. in fact, that is the argument _ investment. in fact, that is the argument the government had back at the beginning of the year, when labour— the beginning of the year, when labour were initially calling for a labour were initially calling fora windfall— labour were initially calling for a windfall tax to be introduced. when

many, many homeowners are going to be facing hugely escalating bills. and of course, don't forget, we've had a whole generation of homeowners, since 2008, they've never even seen a single rate rise until now. so all of that's going to very much impact people at a time when they are already facing high bills. your mortgage is typically your biggest expenditure. and it's going to really hit people hard. the one possible good news coming out of it is the federal reserve has just indicated that, while it is also raising rates even faster than the bank of england, it is saying that the rate of increase is now going to slow, and therefore there is then hope that perhaps the next time around, the bank of england may not have to raise itjust as high. i’m

pretty embarrassing, slightly. kevin, the same question to you, what does this particular story, involving 11 asylum seekers, tell us about the bigger story of the week that we have all been looking at? yeah, it'sjust an indication of that we have all been looking at? yeah, it's just an indication of the yeah, it'sjust an indication of the chaos, _ yeah, it'sjust an indication of the chaos, really, in the government's nrigration— chaos, really, in the government's migration system. suella braverman, the home _ migration system. suella braverman, the home secretary, said as much herself _ the home secretary, said as much herself. she said the system is broken — herself. she said the system is broken. the pressure is on her now, she's— broken. the pressure is on her now, she's already — broken. the pressure is on her now, she's already under an awful lot of pressure — she's already under an awful lot of pressure. the pressure is on her to fix that— pressure. the pressure is on her to fix that broken system. the natural question— fix that broken system. the natural question is, — fix that broken system. the natural question is, the conservatives have been _ question is, the conservatives have been in _ question is, the conservatives have been in power one way or another for the 12_ been in power one way or another for the 12 years — been in power one way or another for the 12 years. keir starmer said at prime _ the 12 years. keir starmer said at prime minister's questions today, if it's broken. — prime minister's questions today, if it's broken, who broke it? they can't _ it's broken, who broke it? they can't blame _ it's broken, who broke it? they can't blame labour for the current situation — can't blame labour for the current situation. so, yeah, it'sjust another— situation. so, yeah, it'sjust another piece of evidence that adds to the _ another piece of evidence that adds to the sense of chaos and disorganisation, really, in the way

inevitable slow motion u—turn on that, and it leaves him so open to criticism, as seen by a pmqs this afternoon when keir starmer went in on this as the burning issue, because clearly sees it as the biggest weak point of rishi sunak right now, handling of the crisis where he bowed and his party unhappy with him, the country unhappy with him pretty much, and these particle stories. —— he boathouse his party unhappy with him. and suella braverman pouring fuel on the fire not helping the situation in any way. it's a problem for rishi sunak, and it's seen as the one really big mistake of the reshuffle, where it looks like a political horse trade versus anything to do with competence, which he has actually promised. competence, which he has actually romised. �* ., ., ., ,

in 1989, the uk's worst sporting disaster. liverpool managerjurgen klopp, speaking at a ceremony where he was presented with the freedom of liverpool, said the chanting was a big problem. you pick the not so nice part, but you pick the one thing where you really can hit the people and you do it, and that happens very often in the stands. and you actually should not take it serious, because they don't care, if you don't care, they can't hit me, to be 100%. you don't know if you care about me, but whatever you say, you cannot hit me and i know it's very difficult to see it that way, but i'm not sure you can really do something against it because of the possibility is to say i do not think that saving but people.

away at the age of 79. radford's goal for non—league hereford in a much—delayed replay, played on a boggy edgar street pitch in 1972, was the equaliser against first division newcastle and helped create one of the biggest shocks in fa cup history. it also made something of a celebrity of the commentator. what a goal! radford, and the crowd are invading the pitch! the now—famous and well known voice ofjohn motson there. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. it was a stormy end to wednesday, low pressure sweeping rain and gales across the uk. as we move into thursday, though, we'll see some improvements with some sunshine around, one or two showers, but it will stay quite wet in the southeast as the overnight rain band lingers. and you can see here on the pressure chart, eventually, it'll wriggle away as we move

into thursday afternoon, but this new area of low pressure will bring increasing showers to the southwest quadrant of the country along with strengthening winds. you notice the blue hue there on the temperature map. it will feel cooler across the northern half of the country throughout the day today. so a wet, damp morning across the southeast. eventually, that should clear away into the afternoon. elsewhere, plenty of sunshine around, one or two showers. most of the showers affecting wales and the southwest of england, with increasing winds here, particularly through the channel. but it will be a blustery day across the southern half of the country. winds slightly lighter further north. that is away from the far north of scotland. and temperatures, 10—11 degrees in the north, around 12 or 13 in the south, so it will feel cooler for all. looks like that area of low pressure will bring showers or longer spells of rain through thursday night for wales, southwest england, perhaps the south coast as well, and certainly through the channel, for the channel islands. winds will be strong for a while. but a ridge of high pressure starts to build in early on friday, so winds veering to a more northerly direction and it will be quite cold,

temperatures down to freezing across some northern areas and a bit of mist and fog too. so here it is, ridge of high pressure building in across the country for friday before more low pressure arrives for the weekend. any early showers will clear away from the far south early through friday, and then its bright. plenty of sunshine around. a chilly start, mind you. temperatures rising a little bit through the day. a few showers still across northern scotland, but most places dry. 11—13 or 14 degrees across the south. so the weekend is looking unsettled. we've got more low pressure working its way in off the atlantic. that's going to bring rain and gales at times. it looks like one frontal system will cross the country on saturday, though. it will tend to weaken as it pushes towards the eastern side of the country. then it's blustery showers, strong winds into sunday and this front bringing some wet weather once again to the southeast corner. so quite a mixed bag through the weekend. like i mentioned, it's wet in the west, showers further east, and a little bit drier in the north on sunday.

very wet across the southeast.
