At the papers with my guests. Good evening to you both. We will be looking at the front pages in a moment with nigel nelson, the editor of the sunday mirror and sunday people and the broadcaster penny smith. Lets look at the front pages. The sunday times says Meghan Markle plans to make a speech at her wedding. Meanwhile, donald trump has criticised theresa may according to the mail on sunday who thinks the pms approach to brexit has not been tough enough. The independent on sunday in leeds with a dramatic picture of the bomb in kabul which has killed at least 95 people and injured many more. The telegraph says cabinet source is warning of a brexit betrayal. The express has a story on rogue parking companies. Lots of stories on the front pages. The papers all have their own investigation is taking place. Lets start off with the mail. We were having a discussion, nigel and i, about whether it is really a snub he g said i he§sa|d|s he g said is he played hardball with played hard ball with europe. Played hardball with europe. He said ayed hardball with europe. He said thei hardball with europe. He said the eu rdball with europe. He said the eu is jall with europe. He said the eu is not with europe. He said the eu is not all h europe. He said the eu is not all it europe. He said the eu is not all it is rope. He §to be, i is f; saysmtfii w z is f; says he 5 z z l . It is not really a snub. He says he has been invited, theresa may has invited him twice to britain and everybody is saying did we know about this . Is it true . Fake news because as we know, there have been suggestions that there would be protests a nd suggestions that there would be protests and various other things, and also in this, this is an interview he has done with piers morgan, and in it he praises macron and says how he really likes them and says how he really likes them and they went up the eiffel tower. And the wife, he likes the wife is specially. He likes the wife, they closed everything and it was fantastic. I supposed it is the contrast between saying theresa may should have done this, but the macrons, they are great that is what struck me. It was a new special relationship. It is not as what do you think . It is quite special to get an interview with donald trump so get an interview with donald trump so full marks to piers morgan for pulling it off. But the problem is you get the feeling that he did not say anything. When it comes to the so called snub about brexit, what he says is he would have taken a stand. What does that mean . David davis might say he is taking a tough stand, theresa may might say she is, so stand, theresa may might say she is, so it goes on. I think the news that he thinks he is coming to two visit is the most interesting, as penny said. The fact that Buckingham Palace does not know anything about it and nor does downing street, does make me feel that he is a bit confused. We do know that he is due to make a working visit at the end of the year. That seems to be set in stone. But the idea of a state visit within the year. Maybe it is one of those things when people say we must do lunch and you get your diary out and that you look horrified. It is reported that when it was brought up mrtrump said we reported that when it was brought up mr trump said we will talk about it. It has then moved on to two visits who can tell . Lets turn to the telegraph. A couple of stories that we are looking at on the front page. Again, it is brexit. Brexit betrayal, nigel. You could call it brexit common sense, it rather depends on which side of the argument you are on. What the telegraph is suggesting is that whitehall officials, whitehall mandarins as we like to call them, they are trying to get the Prime Minister to agree a soft brexit. Much of the lines that Philip Hammond was talking about, that he seemed to get hauled over the coals over by the pm when he was in davos. This is the idea of the modest brexit, not too many differences and so on. Brexit, not too many differences and so on. They are saying jeremy heggie cabinet secretary is behind this, along with ollie robbins, the pms chief brexit advisor. They may well be advising that. It may be the sensible thing to do. But the telegraph being a brexit paper, this isa telegraph being a brexit paper, this is a betrayal. They do say that obviously they have the big war Cabinet Meeting on monday, say really keying it up. Every time i hear the word whenever i try, i see people sliding under the table the thing is, we are in it for the long haul. It seems to me that these are the small things on the way to our divorce. These other bits, i have mentioned it before, it is like a divorce. You have the house, children, probably children and then house. You have all these things to unpick and then you are talking about who is having the books. What aspect of brexit concerns you . Whenever they Start Talking about things that i think are going to really affect me, lets face it, thatis really affect me, lets face it, that is the only thing i really care about, being able to get to europe quickly and getting through customs without worrying, and also about companies and companies that rely on european interchange. Those are the things. This to me, as i said. People have got bored with it because not a lot has happened. The feeling that one gets all the way through with the government doesnt really know what it wants from brexit. That is what the europeans keep telling us. When we know what we are aiming for, it might get more injust in because we will then begin to understand how it will affect us individually. Until it happens, it can be a bit dull. That is putting it mildly for some something that will probably get a lot of peoples attention is Council Tax Bills to rise by £80. This is because as we know, councils are strapped for cash, and the government has lifted its cap on increases, and it looks like quite a few councils are going to say right, lets makes it out. We need lots of things doing and we particularly need to Pay Attention to social care. Social care has been the one thing they have been banging on about with the nhs, the reason why the nhs is struggling is because of social care, and that has this knock on effect. Social care, and that has this knockon effect. It of all the bed blocking. And frankly, no one likes tax rises, but my view on this one is, bring it on. Untilwe Start Talking about this whole social care issue and until we integrate the health side and the social care side and the billions it will cost, we will have constant problems. Yes, somebody will have to pay for it somewhere along the way, lets start with council tax. Somewhere along the way, lets start with counciltax. But somewhere along the way, lets start with council tax. But a lot of people are not getting pay rises, how will they pay for this . Because of inflation, they are angela getting paid equally as is. The cost of life is getting more and more. We are in s territory. No matter which way you dress it up, whether you put those on it and put glitter on, it is still austerity. The other side is still austerity. The other side is we have ambulances queueing up in car parks. However you cut it, more money is necessary and it means a lot more money. Obviously, if the Labour Government was in the moment, what we would have is the highest paid would be making the biggest contribution. That to me is the way forward. However you look at it, we are all going to have to pay some more. Talking about pay, lets move on to our third story on the sunday telegraph. What grabbed you about this story . The bbc are accused of paperboy. The argument is because you have the gender report coming out next week, the bbc decided what a perfect time to deflect from this and we will announce that some of the top paid presenters like John Humphreys and huw edwards have agreed to take a pay cut. It does seem agreed to take a pay cut. It does seem that this is a bit more fundamental. The bbc needs to think about what it needs to and what it do wants to be. You might argue John Humphrys should not get £600,000 of public money and hugh edwards, i hope he is not around at the moment to hear after you can argue about things like that you can argue about pay parity, but at the end of the date is public money and it is how you spend it. I would have thought this was a perfect time for the bbc to look at itself and say, do we need to do everything . Do we need to have so many expensive Light Entertainment programmes on . Isnt it part of the bbc to be producing television that would not be available elsewhere . Television that would not be available elsewhere . How does this compare to the commercial side . available elsewhere . How does this compare to the commercial side . I do think with the bbc, and particularly with radio presenters, like you were talking thatJohn Humphrys, the bbc in the past has talked about other commercial pressures and part of me thinks, you are not supposed to be competing in that way so therefore, dont offer huge salaries because somebody will do it because they wa nt to somebody will do it because they want to do it. You dont need to offer these massive amounts and you cannot get that in the commercial sector. You really cant. These wages are far more than anybody elses offering. 0k. Lets move on to the independent. And, yes, 95 People Killed in kabul. There are stories of women and children also killed in this. The taliban really picking up the pace on attacks in afghanistan. I think for me, there is also that added hideousness that it was all packed into an ambulance. It is that horrible juxtaposition. Just like when you find out doctors have joined just like when you find out doctors havejoined isis, for just like when you find out doctors have joined isis, for example. Just like when you find out doctors havejoined isis, for example. You think there is something quite weird about that combination of something which is supposed to be helping people who are ill and then blowing people who are ill and then blowing people to bits. You can only imagine the hideousness of living in a place like this, and the same in syria, to be fair. I will look it up for the next programme, i think the International Red cross have said it is regarded as a crime, that they have used an ambulance, something which should help people, to commit an atrocity. I will find that for the next hour. Nigel, could you take us to the express please . Indeed. The express have gone completely off piste when it comes to politics. A story which will affect a lot of people because 6 Million People get private parking tickets in this country. No more. The government is doing something about this. This is sajid javid the communities secretary. The idea is a new code of practice for the private parking companies. They handle private bits of land and hospital car parks. If theyissue of land and hospital car parks. If they issue tickets when they should not and if they have an appeals procedure which does not work or if anything is confusing about the way they operate, what they can do is re move they operate, what they can do is remove the right to go to the dvla to get our addresses and that will put them out of business because if they have not got the addresses from they have not got the addresses from the dvla and our names, they cannot finance, they get no money and that will be the end of them. That is the idea. You were telling us early on about how you stopped off somewhere. I was at party conference. I parked ona i was at party conference. I parked on a hotel for court to put in in manchester. I drove off, put my car ina manchester. I drove off, put my car in a multi story. The next morning i found a ticket on it from one of these private companies. Somebody
