and at the tv licence scanner now, mrs may so says gordon brown stop with gordon brown who as chancellorre was a deal done in 2015 by believed david cambron, george osborne saying that the bbc would have to take over responsibility giving people free tv licences which would cost the bbc effect of its revenue starting next year. —— i believe by david cameron. gordon brown is appealing to theresa may as one of her legacy, she trying to spray one of her legacy, she trying to spray cash. philip hammond is trying to stop her. she's trying to cement her legacy and the few weeks she has before she goes. it was his legacy? it was stopping to fantastic successful mps and pms with the same legacy. free tv licences for the over 70 fives. you think she is like to ta ke over 70 fives. you think she is like to take it up the? i don't know. i don't think philip hammond will let her. she couldn't spend money on schools that she wanted to the other day. that is a matter for the next prime minister. good evening. ruth? i agree. on that note! that's it for the papers this hour. john and ruth will be back a

‘end tv licence scandal now mrs may‘ — the mirror has gordon brown demanding theresa may steps in to tv licences for the over 75s. the times says the church of england is to issue its first set of digital commandments to combat "cynicism and abuse" on social media. ‘labour tax raid on family homes‘ the daily mail warns that the middle classes will be hit byjohn mcdonnell‘s inheritance tax reforms. john, the telegraph and it isjeremy hunt. turbocharging the economy and admitting that a no—deal brexit would be disastrous and disagreeing with ruth here... you cannot do that! in effect he is saying a no—deal brexit would cause such damage we would have to pump in an emergency 20 billion in tax cuts just to keep the economy afloat which doesn't sound like a brilliant advert for his tough approach to brexit which he is trying to sell to conservative party members. brexit which he is trying to sell to conservative party memberslj brexit which he is trying to sell to conservative party members. i do not totally agree with what john says because i take the view that the economy has been remar

and it has happened many times before, it is notjust gordon brown and tony blair.n 1975. so this has got a precedent before. i get the point, i get the kind of very quick point, but i do think that this is an easy point to make, and i get it, and like i said, this is not something that you couldn't join like i said, this is not something that you couldn'tjoin the tory party if you want to devote. that you couldn'tjoin the tory party if you want to devotem that you couldn'tjoin the tory party if you want to devote. it has been a fascinating drama so far. 0ne of the big challenges now for boris johnson and jeremy hunt is how they conduct contest, while proving that eachis conduct contest, while proving that each is better than the other, without just adding to each is better than the other, withoutjust adding to this sense of the conservative party at war with itself. absolutely, and i would say aboutjeremy hunt, he is seen as someone aboutjeremy hunt, he is seen as someone who is perhaps not as charismatic as someone who is quite boring, let's be honest. but in the

gordon brown has been saying much the same thing, an editorial in the economist, today or tomorrow, saying this week giving a talk to a business audience, it was chatham house rules, but i think she aired her worries about the union if boris johnson gets in, and i think on a newsnight interview tonight, she talks about the butterfly effect. you have no deal brexit, who knows what will happen? and this is a fellow conservative saying this. what will happen? and this is a fellow conservative saying thism is. she said it is not brexit, do—or—die raid, it is the union, do—or—die raid, it is the union, do—or—die raid, it is the union, do—or—die raid, this week. but appalled at the weekend showed 53% of scots would act independence if borisjohnson got in. so she perhaps has the wind behind her. boris johnson for his part is still saying they have a good relationship, of course. the majority of tory msps in the scottish parliament, scottish tory mps have 50—50... not 50—50, evenif tory mps have 50—50... not 50—50, even if you remainers are backing boris because they see him as the election winner

and he wrote in these terms when gordon brown took over for tony blair.t these hustings are televised does mean... does that these hustings are televised does mean... does mean that these hustings are televised does mean... does mean that the country generally gets a good chance to get a look at these two men. we get a chance but have no say. the debates la5t get a chance but have no say. the debates last week, was it only last week ye5 debates last week, was it only last week yes they made for rather excruciating viewing, but we have no 5ay excruciating viewing, but we have no say in it. so in a sense actually it rub5 say in it. so in a sense actually it rubs the salt in the wound if you look at people and think, really? let's look at some of the other papers treating the same story. the sunday times, boris is a security risk, i wonder who is saying that? this is being attributed tojeremy hunt supporters who are suggesting that his colourful private life might actually end up in black male. because boris johnson's might actually end up in black male. bec

masterminded by then—labour chancellor gordon brown in the late 1990s, the centres aimed to give childreneducation, health, and family support. but a recent report by the thinktank the institute for fiscal studies said funding had been cut by two—thirds, and hundreds of centres had been closed. a labour mp accused ministers of allowing the scheme to "wither on the vine". there is a clear lesson here for government — investment in early intervention saves money later on. closing sure start centres is a false economy. so i ask the minister — will she use this report as ammunition with the tory leadership contenders in the treasury of the head of the spending review for a new commitment to revitalise sure start? the decimation of sure start has been a travesty, and flies in the face of all the evidence that early intervention is key to tackling the disadvantaged. this must be reversed. the minister agreed that early intervention was important. in the first paragraph of the executive summary, the report makes clear that the uk is now one of the highest spenders on the under fives in europe —
