mp who's accused government whips of trying to "blackmail" politicians who've tried to oust borisjohnson. a man appears in court charged with the murder of an elderly woman, and the attempted murder of her husband. the port of dover admits new customs checks have contributed to big queues on the roads. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are geri scott, political correspondent at the press association and calum macdonald from times radio. tomorrow's front pages. let's start by looking at the observer who says number ten staff have swipe card data logged in a probe on so—called partygate and that sue gray has details of a new event. meanwhile, the sunday telegraph reports that the uk claims putin is plotting a regime in ukraine, as the vaccine deadline for nhs the sunday times carries claims from a tory mp who says she lost herjob as a government minister because she was a muslim. elsewhere, the sunday express calls for prince andrew to be stripped of his title as duke of york. geri i calum, lovely to see you, geri, could you kick ass off with the story in the times, sacked because i was a muslim. it is the re because i was a muslim. it is the pretty extraordinary _ because i was a muslim. it is the pretty extraordinary claim. - because i was a muslim. it is the pretty extraordinary claim. this i pretty extraordinary claim. this minister said her muslim nurse was an issue. she says that she was basically told that this was the whole reason she was shuffled out of the cabinet, the government has said this isn't true and it isn't the case but it really demonstrates just how, she is a senior tory mp and the party is absolutely eating itself at the moment, it seems like every new clinic there is a new fire to fight. really extraordinary, these are shocking claims i think that with everything else that is going on, with the sue gray report, and the allegations, it is another problem for borisjohnson. allegations, it is another problem for boris johnson._ allegations, it is another problem for boris johnson. for borisjohnson. calum, before i read out a — for boris johnson. calum, before i read out a response, _ for boris johnson. calum, before i read out a response, what -

whip and the backbenchers? well, it is varied. at the very base of it, - is varied. at the very base of it, it is about party discipline and making sure mps vote to get the government policies and advance the government policies and advance the government agenda in the commons. but in reality the role is far wider, it can see as a pastoral role as well and it is a mixture of kind of carrot and stick. there is a famous speech that gavin williamson made where he spoke about using sharpened carrot which raised a few eyebrows to get things done. over the years, there have been all kinds of myths and stories about the methods they whips use, whether that is having something on mps and threatening to release it or offering promotions in the future but it is a very shady business. it is very rare that you hear as much detail about the width as you are at the moment. it is a very interesting time and callum mentioned there that this might be something we all know about and it has been accepted but thatis about and it has been accepted but that is true to an extent but the same can be said about the expenses scandal so i dedicate is one that will be going away.— scandal so i dedicate is one that will be going away. something else that will not — will be going away. something else that will not go _ will be going away. something else that will not go away, _ will be going away. something else that will not go away, we _ will be going away. something else that will not go away, we are -
