hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political commentatorjo phillips and nigel nelson, political editor of the sunday people and the sunday mirrror. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... shameless — the sunday express condemns the fifa president's defense of qatar hosting the world cup. sir geoff hurst tells the england team "you can do it" in the sunday mirror. the observer leads on news that labour leader sir keir starmer

will replace the house of lords with an elected chamber to restore trust in politics. the sunday telegraph has conservative party chairman nadhim zahawi saying tories still want to cut taxes before the next election. senior government figures are planning to put britain on the path to frictionless trade with the european union — that's in the sunday times. the mail leads on health secretary steve barclay planning reforms to cut nhs bureaucracy. and the sun on sunday reports that boy george has threatened to quit itv�*s i'm a celebrity get me out of here after an explosive rant at tv crews. so let's begin. we'll begin with a front page of the independent and a lot of focus today on the world cup, obviously, which starts tomorrow on that extraordinary news conference involving fever�*s boss gianni infantino, and the headline in the

independent, qatar2022 infantino, and the headline in the independent, qatar 2022 and the tarnish a football's greatest prize. focus on the politics and other sport. focus on the politics and other sort. �* , ., ., focus on the politics and other sort. �* ,. ., , ., sport. and it is a real shame because _ sport. and it is a real shame because it — sport. and it is a real shame because it is _ sport. and it is a real shame because it is something - sport. and it is a real shame because it is something that i sport. and it is a real shame i because it is something that we should all be celebrating, enjoying it to be a great thing, this is the first world cup in a muslim country, in an arab country, but it has been overshadowed by such a long time and now, that is, as you say, taking precedence over the football which is a great fight —— shame for the players and football fans around the world. there are so many questions as to why qatar got this deal in the first place, 12 years ago. 16 of the 22 people on the committee, the fifa committee have been involved in allegations and suggestions, if not downright probe into corruption. it

was always going to be an odd choice to hold the world cup in the middle of the winter, not in the summer as it is usually held, and of course the real tragedy of this is the thousands of migrant workers who have died in building the stadiums and all the other infrastructure to go into making this event possible. you know, we know the estimated figures range between 6500 to 15,000 migrant workers who have died over the last 12 years, that is shocking, and it is a stain not so much on qatar, which has many, many issues to deal with and in the face of great sort of world opinion against it human rights watch record, but actually this actually falls at fifa's doorstep. they have a duty of care to the people who were working

to support their world cup tournament, and they have failed abysmally, and i think it is time that football fans, of which i am one, said, fifa, it is enough, you need to be cleared out, it need as clean sweep and some decency at last. , ., �* ., ., clean sweep and some decency at last. ,, �* ., ., ., last. nigel, you've got to wonder what his motivation _ last. nigel, you've got to wonder what his motivation was - last. nigel, you've got to wonder what his motivation was insane l last. nigel, you've got to wonder i what his motivation was insane that in the way in which he it because it certainly distracts the focus from the game itself, which is about obviously about to start watching mark yes, that is why the whole thing was so extraordinary. i mean, clearl he thing was so extraordinary. i mean, clearly he believes _ thing was so extraordinary. i mean, clearly he believes that _ thing was so extraordinary. i mean, clearly he believes that attack - thing was so extraordinary. i mean, clearly he believes that attack is - clearly he believes that attack is the best— clearly he believes that attack is the best form of defence but i would have thought for an opening statement at the world cup, what he should _ statement at the world cup, what he should have been doing is trying to explain _ should have been doing is trying to explain why they made the decision to award _ explain why they made the decision to award the tournament to qatar back in_ to award the tournament to qatar back in 2010. an explanation would have worked. the 400 odd journalists

for his resignation honours, and the idea that liz truss should have a resignation list, if she had any sense of decency or intricate free or self—awareness, of course she wouldn't do it, because she wasn't in the job long wouldn't do it, because she wasn't in thejob long enough. but i think keir starmer is right, they really does need to be something to restore trust in politics, as nigel said and i think when people see these cronies and donorsjust i think when people see these cronies and donors just ending up i think when people see these cronies and donorsjust ending up in the house of lords because that is what they have done, it doesn't actually help the legislative process, which is what the house of lords is for. 784 people, it is actually bonkers. and i am sure, nigel probably knows better than mean, how many of them actually turn up. but you don't need that many people, and you do need people who are going to work and do the job they are supposed to do in the

wants to be taken seriously and try and dig the uk out of the economic hole it is in, part of which has been caused by brexit, that is according to the 0br and various members of the bank of england committee and former members of that committee, you know, you've got to look at the pragmatism, about how you can make it work. that is no good sticking plasters on these gaping wounds, what you have actually got to do with who begin to look at how you can make it work, and there are some things, the labour party has long been campaigning fora labour party has long been campaigning for a veterinary agreement that would actually make it a lot easier for british farmers, making it easierfor it a lot easier for british farmers, making it easier for artists and musicians to travel around the eu more freely instead of the bureaucracy. the damage that it is doing and has done is momentous. and thatis doing and has done is momentous. and that is not going to help get us out

of the economic black hole. so, i think, you know, whilst the youg, the european research group, will no doubt be champing at the bit to have another row within the tory party, if rishi sunak wants to actually be taken seriously as a prime minister in these very serious times, it is time he actually said, well, i am not going to hold the country hostage to this bunch of ramp at brexiteers because we have been held hostage by them for far too long. speaking of rishi sunak, he is featured on the front page of the sunday telegraph, nigel, alongside volodymyr zelensky, president of ukraine. . , ., , ukraine. that is right, i was wondering _ ukraine. that is right, i was wondering why _ ukraine. that is right, i was wondering why another- ukraine. that is right, i was wondering why another ten | ukraine. that is right, i was - wondering why another ten were behaving — wondering why another ten were behaving so mysteriously today and of course _ behaving so mysteriously today and of course we found out when rishi sunak— of course we found out when rishi sunak popped up in kyiv. i think this is— sunak popped up in kyiv. i think this is the — sunak popped up in kyiv. i think this is the right thing to do, it is ”p this is the right thing to do, it is up usually— this is the right thing to do, it is up usually the first opportunity he has had — up usually the first opportunity he has had. to begin with, he was stuck with the _ has had. to begin with, he was stuck with the autumn statement, even to the point _ with the autumn statement, even to the point of— with the autumn statement, even to
