hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are broadcaster penny smith and martin bentham, home affairs editor of the evening standard. let me bring you up—to—date of the front pages as we have them so far. the daily mail has new polling putting labour six points ahead of the conservatives. the paper says sleaze allegations are putting pressure on the prime minister. elsewhere, the guardian alleges that the villa boris johnson stayed in during a recent holiday in marbella has been linked to tax evasion — the lawyer for the company says the case was not one of tax evasion. the i has a special report on how the government expects the pandemic to end — saying the most likely scenario would see the world moving on from covid late next year. new plans to lower the threshold at which graduates start paying back their student loans could see them pay up to £475 extra a year, according to the daily telegraph. the financial times has a report claiming that a number of emails were exchanged between the ex—barclays boss, jes staley, and jeffrey epstein. who died injailjust over a year ago. the times leads with calls for french authorities to take more action to stop people crossing the channel, after a record 12 hundred migrants made thejourney in one day and the front page of the mirror claims meghan markle said prince harry was �*constantly berated' by the royal family over her relationship with her father. so let's begin... rather her lack of a relationship with her father, rather her lack of a relationship with herfather, i suppose. mark, rather her lack of a relationship with herfather, isuppose. mark, do you want to kick us with herfather, isuppose. mark, do you want to kick us off with herfather, isuppose. mark, do you want to kick us off this time with the guardian? cop26 still no deal is deadline passes but they are still talking. deal is deadline passes but they are still talkina. , , ., deal is deadline passes but they are still talkin. , , ., ~ , still talking. yes, they are. as we discussed the _ still talking. yes, they are. as we discussed the reason _ still talking. yes, they are. as we discussed the reason that -

population? and the point that they're supposed to pay more | population? and the point that i they're supposed to pay more tax population? and the point that - they're supposed to pay more tax and they're supposed to pay more tax and they're paying back for that which people like me who graduated a year before this came in, nobody�*s ever asked me to pay back my education. of course i pay taxes but i'm not paying specifically for the benefit. of course the thing that had the fear that people from a background like mine which was no higher education, manual working household, subsidised support in grants, i got the full fees paid in subsistent grant would be put off going to university. i'd like to know whether people were put off or it people actually have used the loan and benefited from it. what do you make of the story? we benefited from it. what do you make of the story?— of the story? i've always been o- osed of the story? i've always been opposed to — of the story? i've always been opposed to loans _ of the story? i've always been opposed to loans for - of the story? i've always been opposed to loans for the - of the story? i've always been i opposed to loans for the reasons penny says. because of course the argument in favour of them the outset was one was all these graduates going on to lots of money and therefore they should be paying that money back, that they shouldn't be other people that don't go to university. first of all if we believe that a better educated society and workforce is good for us all and everybody�*s benefiting. certainly of course if they are better paid which not all of them are, increasingly that's not always the case then they wait paid more tax in general unless they've got some very clever accounting and manager avoid that. that's a whole different issue. so on. i agree with you. i think the figures unfortunately but perhaps fortunately necessarily shown that people have been deterred in broad numbers. although that's partly because somebody things now demand education. ., , �* , , because somebody things now demand education. ., , v , ., education. your eye, it's very hard to net education. your eye, it's very hard to let a education. your eye, it's very hard to get a first _ education. your eye, it's very hard to get a first job. _ education. your eye, it's very hard to get a first job, a _ education. your eye, it's very hard to get a first job, a decent - education. your eye, it's very hard to get a first job, a decent first - to get a firstjob, a decent first job without being a graduate. sometimes a job application and think, why on earth does this person need to be a graduate to do this basic leveljob? they need the application and commitment but did they really need to be a graduate? the fact of the matter is that the reason this is the current system is costing the taxpayer a fortune. because were not breaking even on it. all this money goes out loans, not many people are paying the full amount back. it's not break even, this is a way of trying to make it probably lose less money and still not break even. of course university who are cheerleaders for the system in the first place. they would get lot more freedom and actually in reality they've got a note lot more regulations. federal government can buy cuts. i think the whole thing... we had a bit of a joke blustar about the slightly odd headlines like win a free jigsaw puzzle and i talked to doctor pipeline. the telegraph has got three stories i really want to read tomorrow. johnson had a secret exit from number ten according to dominic cummings, he claims he is a way of getting out the back door without officials knowing he is out of the building. greek treasures going to loan them to the british museum if they give them back. natalie would sister revealing what really happened on board that boat when she fell off the boat and drowned. i mean, no shortage of self worth reading tomorrow. however i'm going to be boring and ask you to do politics and said with a bars praise price opposes the daily mail. such a shame because _ price opposes the daily mail. such a shame because i'd _ price opposes the daily mail. such a shame because i'd rather— price opposes the daily mail. such a shame because i'd rather enjoy -
