with me arejohn rentoul, chief political commentator at the independent and the sun's chief sports reportern lipton. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. "easter sunday attacks kill 207" is the headline in the i newspaper — referring to the bomb blasts in sri lanka. there's a dramatic picture in one of the churches to be attacked in the guardian. it reports officials as saying they were a deliberate attempt to sow division between christians and other religions in the country. the independent has another powerful picture on its front page with debris scattered inside a church. it says it's believed at least five britons are among the dead. that's a theme picked up by the daily telegraph in its treatment of the story, which it says has cast a "shadow of death...over easter". the ft reports a government minister in sri lanka blaming " religious extremists". the paper also gives over space to the comedian — volodymyr zelensky — who plays the ukranian president on tv and is to hold the post in real life, after a sensational election result. the top story in the daily express is summed

jon rentoul is the political editor for the independent, hejoins me now. similarto 0liver letwin plan seems to be quite similar to theresa may, keep voting until they get it right. whether there will be any majority today, i think it is unlikely. and by a majority, i don't mean theyjust have to win more votes than are cast against it. in order to be viable, and option has to gain a majority of mps in the house. 320. i don't think any of them are going to reach that benchmark. does that they strengthen the prime minister of yes hand in saying, i will bring my vote back for a meaningful vote? saying, i will bring my vote back for a meaningfulvote? slightly, maybe. but she has a very weak and anyway. i think her chances of getting it through our diminishing. i think maybe she could force mps to face up to the choice, which is her deal or a long delay, which means holding the european parliament elections. if you force those mps in there to vote explicitly to hold european parliament elections, that might be something they will shy away from and that might for
