Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are katherine forster, a journalist at the sunday times, and the Home Affairs Editor at the london evening standard, martin bentham. Many of tomorrows front pages are already in. The sunday times leads with the Prime Minister vowing to deliver a no deal brexit by any means necessary. The sunday telegraph has reports that the new chancellor, sajid javid, is planning a big spending blitz to prepare for brexit. The observer goes with talks between the former chancellor Philip Hammond and labours brexit secretary, keir starmer, to try and block a no deal brexit. The mail on sunday runs a full page splash on borisjohnsons rise in popularity amongst conservative voters, but the scottish mail on sunday focuses on a showdown between scottish conservative leader Ruth Davidson and borisjohnson over a no deal brexit. And the sunday express has a poll saying that the public want mps to let the Prime Minister get on with brexi. T brexit. Lets start with the sunday times, and this core group of cabinet ministers, it is a very different approach to theresa may, he is trying to ensure he gets brexit done and doesnt fall into the same situation as his predecessor. So we now have effectively the leavers in charge, whereas previously believe campaign, when theresa may took over, and many whose heart wasnt in it, so you could argue we are where we are, some people would say it was a lwa ys we are, some people would say it was always going to go this way, we could never leave with a decent deal, but there is a narrative which says the remainers were in charge, now lets put the true believers, the brexiteers, in charge, and get us the brexiteers, in charge, and get us out by any means necessary. And the six of them, michael gove, dominic raab, priti patel, and cummings as well, michael gove will be having daily meetings right through the summer, including sundays. No rest. And they are now working on the assumption, as well, that the eu are not going to offer them and out. So do we take this to mean on the basis of this article that we are a step closer to a no deal brexit scenario . Well, every day that passes this closer, given we are theoretically living on 31 october and boris has pledged he will do. Quite a lot of people in parliament will try to do something to stop that happening, but the fact is, as catherine said here, this is about making sure, first of all, that we are in a position to leave. Because the other point to make is, although the new European Commission president has said that she will be willing to grant an extension, of course, the eu leaders would have to ee, course, the eu leaders would have to agree, each one. The fact of the matter is the government under Boris Johnson is now going full steam ahead trying to prepare to make sure that in the event of getting to 31 october without having got this deal, which boris says he still wa nts, deal, which boris says he still wants, a revised dealfrom the eu, that we can actually leave and we are ina that we can actually leave and we are in a position to actually leave with, obviously, there will be some disruption, pending on your view, some fairly catastrophic disruption. He is trying to ensure we are in the best position we can to ensure it isnt catastrophic and that we can get over whatever disturbance there is in get over whatever disturbance there isina get over whatever disturbance there is in a reasonably smooth way. That is in a reasonably smooth way. That is the point of all this planning, and it is right while the possibility is here that this could happen, to spend every single waking oui happen, to spend every single waking our getting ready to make sure you are in the best possible position if we do have to face that scenario. Are in the best possible position if we do have to face that scenarioli think at this point the eu are still probably operating on the basis that something will come along, they will be some mechanism that remainers in parliament, and of course the majority of mps did vote to remain, some way to stop this, and that it will be prevented and it wont come to this. But if, as we get into october, it appears that this could happen, whether the eu will blink. It is interesting, because the article quotes Boris Johnson it is interesting, because the article quotes borisjohnson saying that progress towards a deal could only be made once, in his words, the antidemocratic backstop was removed. Of course, brussels could turn around and say if it is so undemocratic, what led you to vote for the Withdrawal Agreement just a few months ago . Well, they were told it was the only deal, the only deal. But theresa may tried to bring everyone together and succeeded in bringing nearly everyone together, that it was a terrible deal which nobody actually wanted. But now things are looking very, very different. Brussels can turn around and say that or say what they want, they can continue to insist on it. The problem, from their point of view, to be frank, is that they keep saying they dont want to know deal scenario, yet their only solution, if they say this is the only deal on offer, and they really mean that, then clearly parliament has voted, as you just said, three times very heavily against it, notjust marginally. They seem to be suggesting the only way forward, the only deal they can offer, is one that has been absolutely roundly rejected in this country, and there seems to be no conceivable way that that particular deal can get through. So there is a lack of logic in their position, actually, because if they dont want no deal, and they dont want ireland, for example, and other countries which will be badly affected in the european union, to be hit, they have to find a way to reach an accommodation with this country to get to that position. And it seems that team johnson are taking that possibility very seriously. We turned to the sunday telegraph, and the chancellor, sajid javid, putting his money where his mouth is and going on this lets to prepare prison for an ideal scenario. Well, this is the same thing, it is the messaging to say we are determined to be ready and we are determined to be ready and we are serious about this notjust as a negotiating ploy, but we need to negotiate. I think he is right about this, you can only negotiate if the other side thinks that you are willing to pursue in this case no deal, if you think that youre sort of hardline threat is actually illusory, you are not going to deliver it, then of course they are not going to give ground. Deliver it, then of course they are not going to give groundlj deliver it, then of course they are not going to give ground. I think it isa not going to give ground. I think it is a fundamental mistake, i dont think the eu believed for a moment, they have said, that they never took seriously theresa mays no deal is better than a bad deal, so of course they were going to offer us a pretty awful deal from our point of view, because they thought we were just going to take it. What other choice did we have . We werent prepared properly. And also, what sajid javid is doing here is trying to remove this message, to reassure his own voters at the treasury, which was perceived as a drag on the Brexit Process , perceived as a drag on the Brexit Process, is no longer a drag and is preparing. And also the practical thing again of making sure that businesses, many businesses are not adequately prepared at the moment, but making sure they are as prepared as they can be in the short time available. Making sure that all of that side of things is done. And the other thing which is mentioned here in one of the other stories is about preparing the economy in terms of potential tax changes and everything else, to corporation tax, potentially income tax, to give a lift to the economy in the event of ano lift to the economy in the event of a no deal brexit to give some, in essence, extra life and invigorate the economy. And of course, a reminder from the economy. And of course, a reminderfrom the the economy. And of course, a reminder from the scottish mail on sunday that the Prime Minister faces some pushback from within his own party from some very powerful figures. Ruth davidson, no less, the leader of the conservatives in scotland. Well, we have known for some time that Ruth Davidson is not a fan of borisjohnson, to put it mildly. Obviously she came out to support sajid javid in the leadership campaign. I am sure she is very happy that he is chancellor. By is very happy that he is chancellor. By the conservatives have a real problem north of the border. Had it not been for Ruth Davidson and the conservative seats that she succeeded in getting in the last election, they would have had no majority at all, with or without the dup. Johnson has been love bombing the north of england, with these promises of huge spending on transport which are long, long overdue. We have heard this before, i really hope it happens. The level of Infrastructure Spending in the north of england compared to london, there is no comparison. It is really not good enough, i say this as a yorkshire woman. But scotland is a different matter and johnson is very, very unpopular with an awful lot of scottish people. As a yorkshireman sitting next to you, i agree with that. I just want to get to the next one, while we have time, on the sunday telegraph. A little bit away from brexit, but the fall in the number of students opting for english as an a level. Two out of three of us did english as an a level, but we could be a fading minority. It seems that more people are doing science subjects, which is are doing science subjects, which is a good thing in itself, that is not a good thing in itself, that is not a bad thing necessarily. But if people are going away from english simply because they think it is not as lucrative. A route to a lucrative career, i think that is slightly depressing and also slightly depressing and also slightly wrong in that people with a rts slightly wrong in that people with arts degrees have done well throughout our history, and in our recent history as well, very often in all sorts of walks of life, not just those which would obviously lend themselves to that kind of in, but in business and so on. They have decent communication skills, ability to analyse things, and so on. Skills which are pretty universal stop so lets hope that not too many people start going away. And increasingly as robots take more and more jobs, things like humanities, which require human judgement, will things like humanities, which require humanjudgement, will be more and more in demand, and english asa more and more in demand, and english as a subject which teaches you to look at human nature. Something like accountancy, there is a 99 chance that accountants will be totally taken that accountants will be totally ta ken over by that accountants will be totally taken over by artificial intelligence. Any accountants watching late tonight, dont have nightmares. You havent quite been taken over, but rapidly, as you say. Obviously the creative and the arts sectors other ones which are perhaps harder to replace, because creativity by machines is much harder to achieve. Exactly, because stem subjects, and this is due to a point, the things that require more human skills are important as well. And also, with more people having to receive Jacob Rees Mogg type memos. Receive Jacob Rees Mogg type memos. I was going to say. Two spaces after a. . How will people know when to use what. Thank you for going through those front pages.
