bringing us tomorrow. with me are natalie fahy, senior editor, nottingham post, derby telegraph and lincolnshire echo and annabel denham who is the director of communications, institute of economic affairs. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... it's a western final. get all the papers in. what are you reading having a bagel. according to the mirror... according to the mirror... can he fix it? no he can't, says the metro, which reports that the prime minister has dismissed fears over inflation and supply issues. the financial times focuses on borisjohnson�*s battle with business saying he will tell the conservative party conference that some industries use immigration as an excuse not to invest in staff. the times reports that the prime minister will announce a significant rise to the minimum wage within the next few weeks the lowest earners could receive £9.42 an hour the mirror takes a less favourable view saying borisjohnson has �*no heart�* and comparing the proposed universal credit cuts to margaret thatcher's policies. a new supply crisis is the focus of the mail which reports that french fishermen could blockade the channel in the latest row over fishing licenses. the i says that health secretary sajid javid plans to make covid 19 jabs compulsory for all frontline healthcare staff within weeks and that he has backing of the prime minister. we are going to start with that mirror. i get to go to you annabelle first put up no alternative. this comparison between borisjohnson and margaret thatcher on the front of a left—leaning paper. all to enact all the right—leaning papers with think this is great comparing johnson to thatcher. i think this is amazing. they would indeed and i suspect that borisjohnson is pretty keen to make that link between himself and margaret thatcher be a way of remembering himself to some of the grassroots party members who are here in manchester watching and will be watching his speech tomorrow. she could see why he might see that comparison is favourable. especially given that margaret thatcher did presided over the lowering of taxes over the course of her time as prime minister. in the moment you've got borisjohnson and rishi sunak refusing to rule out future tax hikes and refusing to even entertain the idea of short—term tax cuts was that we could see why he's pretty eager to the message across that he does have some thatcher principles and perhaps the party faithful will stick with him.— stick with him. natalie, however maruaret stick with him. natalie, however margaret thatcher _ stick with him. natalie, however margaret thatcher had - stick with him. natalie, however margaret thatcher had an - stick with him. natalie, however- margaret thatcher had an underlying philosophy of how she believed the united kingdom should function and what our place was in the world. there is a sense that borisjohnson has no underpinning ideology guiding him. and that is partly why as far as his critics are concerned we are seeing these short—term problems at the moment. because the government simply has planned for, it hasn't been on the front foot.— been on the front foot. that's ri . ht. been on the

them? i think the fundamental issue is that - problem for them? i think the i fundamental issue is that they're being pulled in every different direction. think in terms of the parties ideology at the moment, it's pretty confused was a prime minister who is a self—professed libertarian and yet is implementing state measures that are unprecedented scale junk food advertising bands being the most important arguably of these. i think that's quite a fair characterisation. and there are pressures of course for the government to be maintaining universal credit uplift have extended the further scheme for some corners. that's possibly why they have announced this £500,000,000 plan forjob to take the sting out of some of those tough decisions that they've made. on the other hand a number of redwall voters really view economics is a second order issue and are more interested in the culture wars. the government is trying to align all of these different components come all these different components come all these different voting groups without a ticket the moment it's lacking a coherent strategy certainly on the economy. fin coherent strategy certainly on the econom . ., ,. .,

deflected from cutting the uplift in universal credit. but is it the kind of thing that businesses are ok with? the folk that you work with are ok with? i with? the folk that you work with are ok

always trying to — are ok with? i think the government is always trying to take _ are ok with? i think the government is always trying to take back - is always trying to take back control of the narrative. over the course of this up to natalie's point, she's absolutely right, this is an could help those who are currently unemployed and the minimum wage is a poorly targeted measure to assist the poor. the problem we have is that they detached minimum wage is that they detached minimum wage is the ability to pay it now we have this bidding war which is culminated in demand as we saw last week at labour party conference for the minimum wage of £15 an hour. unfortunately a number of the workers, those who are employed by perhaps the 6,000,000 small businesses that we have in this country restaurants, child care, cleaning, simply don't produce enough added value to justify wage of £15 an hour. their employers could not pay this right and stay in business. and research shows there is a well benefited the us that suggests over the long—term hiking minimum wage doesn't lead to a corresponding decrease in employment. i think the government has really got to bear this in mind, stop going for a catchy sound bites and instead think about the longer—term implications for some of these measures on businesses and employment. but these measures on businesses and employment-— these measures on businesses and emlo ment. �* , ., employment. but the implication has been that there _ employment. but the implication has been that there has _ employment. but the

since the second world war in not investing in our businesses and industries compared to many parts of europe. he: absolutely. i think at this government should turn its attention to investing in r&d. i think if we are to scrap the business rates and introduce a land value tax than net would stop this incentivizing businesses from investing implants plants of machinery and improving the land that they are renting out. they're all sorts of things that the government could be doing that look very different from the measures that we are seeing announced this week. ~ ., ., ., ., week. ok. were

was a disappointing opening league for arsenal in spain. barcelona was 4— one winners and watching was craig templeton. barcelona had the whole of europe beating to the sound of their own drum last season. arsenals first challenge was one of their toughest. try and beat the champions. but it didn't take long for the catalans to find their rhythm. caldentey so close to giving them the lead. that lead would come soon enough to again, caldentey, it wouldn't be denied a second time. and barcelona wouldn't be denied a second goal when uefa player of that year puts this much space put up is only going to be one result. if the result wasn't any question the second half was only seconds old. when it was answered 3— nil. arsenal did pull goal back but barcelona had the final say given the freedom of the stadium. 4— one. barcelona too hot to handle, arsenal given a real lesson. amid concerns over the rate of vaccinations amoungst footballers rushed our says the rate is over 50% of players double job. it follows news that premier leagues were considering rewarding clubs as vaccination rates while only seven top—flight teams have rates of 50% vaccinated. dr. wesley tensel says there are many reasons for the low rates. i've spoken to some of the senior players just to get their point of use to why they think the uptake is low. some of the responses are they don't want to feel unwell if they get the jab which may affect their performance. also on the other hand if they're able to get covid which quite a lot of players have had over the last year, they'd been out for ten days and they felt really unwell. i don't really think that argument stacks up. india will not be sending their hockey teams to the commonwealth games in birmingham next year, because of concerns over what they call "biased" covid restrictions. the uk government recently clarified that the indian made version of the astrazeneca vaccine is now an approved jab, but it's unclear whether people can travel from india without having to self isolate. president of hockey india said the uk's quarantine rules are "biased against india" and added that "such discriminatory restrictions were not imposed on indian athletes during the tokyo olympics". the men's team are currently ranked third in the world, while the women were beaten by great britain in the third place play off at the olympics. the british 5,000 metre record holder elish mccolgan has told the bbc how she feels wary about training and running outside after dark. speaking after the abduction and murder of sarah everard, fellow distance athlete charlotte purdue said she'd changed her training routines to avoid being on the streets at night. mccolgan said it would apply for women all over the world. definitely from my own personal experience i would be very hesitant to run late at night or in the dark. a very fortunate, in a fortunate position that i'm an athlete, i'm a professional athlete that can train 24 hours of the day so i can choose when i go and train. other women aren't fortunate in that position. i can imagine how difficult it is to head out in the dark and feel safe. certainly for me i would be
