out for another lettuce with a very unflattering picture of rachel reeves there? and i really think that the liz liz truss one was much more attractive. anyway, there we go. >> so those are all the papers. >> so those are all the papers. >> we're going to have a proper look at them now. simon, welcome to headliners. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> young buck on the circuit. yeah it's a strange sitting here without something in my ear telling me what to say. >> i know this is it. you're free. unnerving. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yes. >> yes. >> i feel like i could just roam off the path and over a cliff. >> well, that's. that's exactly what the show is. simon evans unleashed i like it. this is exactly what it is. well, let's go. let's unleash on the first newspaper. >> we've got the daily telegraph. >> yes, indeed. the daily telegraph, as you mentioned, the lead is the rachel reeves. >> rachel, from accounts, her future is in doubt. and as you indicated, as you went through the papers, different papers have a slightly different take. >> but the telegraph seems to have picked up on what sounds like a division between starmer's own rhetoric. he refused. he twice refused. >> like peter before the crow he twice betrayed.

>> i get that reference. thank you. yes, i was hoping the irony, but he was. >> he was unwilling to say that she would still be chancellor at the next election. >> well, i think to be honest, a four and a half years away, that's i mean, that would be quite a hostage to fortune. >> the problem is we don't know if he'll be here in four and a half years. so to be fair to him, he can't make you know who is going to be here. it's in the hands of elon musk at this point, isn't it? >> he's going to be here. >> he's going to be here. >> he's going to be here. >> he's had a promise to the very end. right? okay. >> he's had the promise here. so yes. so this is what they seem to be suggesting. there's obviously the other story here. new pressure for grooming probe after mps switched sides. >> i just want to mention though the it is interesting they got two people lined up for reeves job and one of them is pat mcfadden, who i don't know a great deal about. >> he's currently the chancellor of the duchy of lancaster, but he did serve in a relevant department under gordon brown's cabinet. so i kind of think he might well have the job, actually. >> well, it's him or wes. is it his wes streeting wes streeting another glass ceiling. we didn't want rachel from accounts wes streeting from doing some charity work. i'm not sure

that's any. someone with expertise would be good. and connecting with gordon brown. this photo of rachel reeves, that's a picture of her listening to pedro sanchez, the spanish prime minister, because. oh, i thought you were talking about inaudible or something. no, no, it looks like she's just heard his ideas. he's going to charge britain's potential 100% tax for properties in spain. and she's going, oh, that's a great idea. i could do that. anybody. that's a great idea. so anybody. >> so they've had a pretty sweet deal >> the expats over there. >> the expats over there. >> now they've got a bit of a housing crisis. and yeah i've never heard of this before. >> 100% tax i mean you're working hard then it's going to double it to like 60. but it's hard to read the tiny print on the telegraph. >> but am i to understand that >> but am ito understand that this is essentially stamp duty ioo%, this is essentially stamp duty 100%, or is it a wealth tax? >> i think it's the stamp duty okay , single one time purchase. okay, single one time purchase. so they double the price for people outside the eu. this is what cornwall's been trying to introduce for some time as well isn't it. yeah. to stop people like you and i having second homes in cornwall. i don't even have one home. i'll take the second home. now, going back to the story you tried to draw me onto earlier, the new pressure for grooming probe after mp
