With me are Kevin Schofield, whos Political Editor of huffpost uk and eleanor langford, political reporter at politicshome. Tomorrows front pages, starting with. You the ft leads with its annual survey of uk economists, finding a majority believe the recession here will be worse than in other countries. The i reports comments by a leading health boss that extreme pressure on hospitals will continue for at least another three months. The mirrors take is that the future of the nhs is on a knife edge. The times quotes a Government Source as saying the current wave of rail strikes will turn a generation away from train travel. The telegraph leads with prince harrys latest round of interviews and his claim that he wants reconciliation with his father and brother. The mail has the same story about prince harry, and also includes tennis star Martina Navratilovas diagnosis of cancer. While the sun is highly critical of harry saying hes slating the royal family on tv, and then wanting to make peace. So lets begin. We arejoined by we are joined by Kevin Schofield and eleanor langfield. Eleanor langfield. Thank you for our eleanor langfield. Thank you for your time eleanor langfield.

I said at the eleanor langfield. Thank you for your time. I said at the start your time. I said at the start there, kevin, happy new year, not really, these are pretty miserable headlines, lets start with the ft because it is pretty damning stuff. Yes, the ft do this over 100 Top Economists are given how they think the economy across the world, in particular the uk, will be in the 12 months ahead, and it makes pretty grim reading. The end of 2022 was bad enough and looks as though 2023 will be even worse, a longer and deeper recession, higher Interest Rates, high inflation, a real squeeze on household incomes, higher Borrowing Costs because Interest Rates are going up, and there doesnt seem to be much light at the end of the tunnel, it looks like it is time to batten down the hatches. Economically speaking, 2023 is going to be pretty grim. Economically speaking, 2023 is going to be pretty grim to be pretty grim. Eleanor, he has taken all the to be pretty grim. Eleanor, he has taken all the good to be pretty grim. Eleanor, he has taken all the good lines, to be pretty grim. Eleanor, he has taken all the good lines, all to be pretty grim. Eleanor, he has taken all the good lines, all the i taken all the good lines, all the bad lines there it is partly about relativism, they may be great by the end of the year, it is just that the uk will be behind everyone else. Yes, exactly, and the economists point yes, exactly, and the economists point out yes, exactly, and the economists point out a yes, exactly, and the economists point out a couple of reasons for that, point out a couple of reasons for that, one point out a couple of reasons for that, one of which is brexit and the other that, one of which is brexit and the other is that, one of which is brexit and the other is neglect of Public Services under other is neglect of Public Services under very other is neglect of Public Services under very tight labour market. There under very tight labour market. There could be a little bit of growth there could be a little bit of growth but ultimately we are going to lag growth but ultimately we are going to lag behind the rest of the g7 for a number to lag behind the rest of the g7 for a number of reasons, notjust the ones a number of reasons, notjust the ones listed a number of reasons, notjust the ones listed. This one is particularly bleak, little more bleak particularly bleak, little more bleak than previous years but within the bleakness there are a few speckles the bleakness there are a few speckles of hope. The bleakness there are a few speckles of hope. Well come to those in a speckles of hope. Well come to those in a second. Speckles of hope. Well come to those in a second. I speckles of hope. Well come to those in a second. I was speckles of hope. Well come to those in a second. I was struck. Speckles of hope. Well come to i those in a second. I was struck by one quota, the energy shock is as bad as yours, the Inflation Problem is as bad as the lack of the Labour Supply is coming from a combination of the nhs and brexit, is that fair, eleanor .

And the nhs crisis is and has been trade. And the nhs crisis is and has been on trade. And the nhs crisis is and has been on the trade. And the nhs crisis is and has been on the front of newspapers for months. Been on the front of newspapers for months, staff are burnt out, underfunding, and a lack of attention to a lot of the problems it is facing. Attention to a lot of the problems it is facing, so i think it is fair that it is facing, so i think it is fair that there it is facing, so i think it is fair that there has been a bit of a unique that there has been a bit of a unique combination that we have that other countries may not quite have because other countries may not quite have because no other countries may not quite have because no other country has done anything because no other country has done anything quite like brexit. Anything quite like brexit. Kevin, it is probably anything quite like brexit. Kevin, it is probably fair anything quite like brexit. Kevin, it is probably fair to anything quite like brexit. Kevin, it is probably fair to say anything quite like brexit. Kevin, it is probably fair to say that anything quite like brexit. Kevin, it is probably fair to say that the | it is probably fair to say that the government would say and does frequently that this is a global problem, and the head at the imf is quoted as saying that half of the eu will be in recession this year, a third at the global economy, you cannot isolate this. He. Third at the global economy, you cannot isolate this. Cannot isolate this. No, that is riaht, cannot isolate this. No, that is right. And cannot isolate this. No, that is right, and obviously cannot isolate this. No, that is right, and obviously things cannot isolate this. No, that is| right, and obviously things like cannot isolate this. No, that is right, and obviously things like the pandemic in the war in ukraine and having a are having a huge bearing on the uk economy, as they are on the other countries around the world but as eleanor said, it is the world but as eleanor said, it is the fact that the uk is lagging behind other countries and we are most likely going to take longer to come out of the current economic difficulties, i think that is what makes things particularly bad here. We can argue all night as to what the reasons are, the ft clearly is mentioning brexit, ithink the reasons are, the ft clearly is mentioning brexit, i think that is undeniable, if you introduce barriers between yourself and the export market, clearly that will have an effect on economic growth. So, yes, it does look that in the medium to nearfuture so, yes, it does look that in the medium to near future things arent going to get better and we should batten down the hatches and hope that 2023 isnt as bad as the economists are saying, obviously economists are saying, obviously economists are saying, obviously economists are often wrong but it does seem as though the vast majority of them have reached a consensus that things arent going to be great and it might not be until 2024 before we start to see things improve. Until 2024 before we start to see things improve until 2024 before we start to see thinusimrove. ,. Things improve. Hope springs eternal but im things improve.

Nhs faces three months of turmoil, there is not much new in terms of there is not much new in terms of the sense of crisis, bitterly through the winter, but some of the detail on the front page of the i, it is pretty disturbing stuff, in terms of shortages, delays.

We have had a lot of these extraordinary. We have had a lot of these front extraordinary. We have had a lot of these front pages in the last few months. These front pages in the last few months, talk about the scale of the crisis months, talk about the scale of the crisis in months, talk about the scale of the crisis in the months, talk about the scale of the crisis in the nhs by the fact that this isnt crisis in the nhs by the fact that this isntjust a winter crisis, this this isntjust a winter crisis, this is this isntjust a winter crisis, this is going to go on until april, that i this is going to go on until april, that i think this is going to go on until april, that i think everything is going to be solved that i think everything is going to be solved by april, things might peter be solved by april, things might peter ov, be solved by april, things might peter ov, the Winter Viruses and flu might peter ov, the Winter Viruses and flu might peter peter ov, the Winter Viruses and flu might peter offer little but ultimately this is not going to go away ultimately this is not going to go away and ultimately this is not going to go away and this winter has been worse than n1any away and this winter has been worse than many so it is showing how bad things than many so it is showing how bad things are than many so it is showing how bad things are in than many so it is showing how bad things are in the nhs and immense pressure things are in the nhs and immense pressure staff are under.

Chapter three, this is the last of the general malaise last of the general malaise headlines, kevin, millions willshun trains forever, weve got a series of strikes beginning the morning in fact. I think it is probably fair to say a lot of people have started to wonder how reliable this service is and perhaps look for alternatives but that is the pretty big statement. It but that is the pretty big statement. But that is the pretty big statement. , ,. ,. , statement. It is, yes, the war of words between statement. It is, yes, the war of words between the statement. It is, yes, the war of words between the government| statement. It is, yes, the war of. Words between the government and statement. It is, yes, the war of words between the government and the unions, between them and the rmt, largely, is really ramping up now. The rmt have directly accuse the government of blocking any attempt to resolve the dispute. The government denied that an site is not a matterfor them, It Government denied that an site is not a matter for them, it is a matter for the employers, but now you have got sources, no one is putting their names to these quotes on the front of the paper, but Government Sources are now saying that if the strikes go on for much longer, people will shun the railways and they will be lost forever. It really is as though the government is an observer, rather than a participant, that is not strictly true. The government does have a role to play here in trying to get various protagonists around the table to reach a negotiated settlement and thus far they dont seem to be terribly and gyres by that prospect but that government are trying to apportion blame towards the unions, there is basically a pr battle going on, then and saying if the strikes go on for much longer, the public will turn against the union, the union will get the blame and they will come under so much pressure that they will eventually fold. They dont love like they will fold at the moment so it is a pretty high stakes gamble and reading this story it doesnt look as though there is any resolution coming any time soon. And resolution coming any time soon. And without necessarily placing the blame, eleanor, the Hospitality Industry has also been quoted, kate nicholls, the about the hundreds of millions they are losing in business, which is understandable.
