Press Preview: Wednesday's papers

[Music] well hello there you are watching The Press preview a first look at what is on the front pages time then to see what's making the headlines with the chief leader writer at The Observer Sonia soda and the whiteall editor of the financial times Lucy fiser welcome to both of you as ever let's take a look shall we at the front pages starting with the eye Revenge served hot that's how the eye described swella Bran's parting broadside to Rishi sunak today after she was sacked as Home Secretary in the cabinet reshuffle the express says War has been declared after Miss braan accused the PM of betraying the nation that word betrayal also featuring on the front of tomorrow's times this is page one of the Daily Mail we had a deal and you broke it sella tells the PM the star resurrects a word from the Thatcher era to describe her attack handbag meanwhile the arrest of a man over the death of ice hockey player Adam Johnson when his neck was slashed during a game in Sheffield is the lead story for the metro and the financial times reports on a Boost to markets on Wall Street after lower than expected inflation figures for the US economy but reminded by scanning the QR code you'll see on screen during the program you can check out the front pages of the papers while you watch us so let's head to Our Guest then uh to Sonia soda and Lucy Fischer so much to discuss where to start oh yes sella on the front page of a number of newspapers um a broadside that had been expected Lucy did it go further than you expected well it did as you say when she was fired yesterday she made clear this wasn't the last we'd heard of this that she would speak out in due course so I think in Westminster in Downing Street people were braced for her reaction but I think this has surprised many of her colleagues in the frankly viciousness of the tone and in that sense I think she may not have done herself as many favors as she might have hoped the language is so strong accusing the prime minister of a betrayal of his promise to do whatever it takes to stop the small boats accusing him of Wishful Thinking magical thinking weak leadership equivocation a lack of interest in stopping irregular migration that in fact some of uh her colleagues on the right of the party people who are ordinarily quite critical of sunak in private believe that in fact that this is quite a narcissistic act uh and so over the top that they don't want to sort of be seen to be falling in behind her which is interesting because actually this has to be seen as a pitch for this time next year post election which we now presume to be an Autumn that's certainly the mood music that people have been saying what we're not 100% sure of is how many MPS she takes with her if she does sunak obviously decided that the threat of her on the back benches wasn't sufficient to block him from sacking her but what about this deal uh effectively she was saying I managed to get you the job as prime minister and basically get rid of Boris Johnson so I you know I was the person who did this for you so we all know these deals go on behind closed doors in politics when you've got people competing for the leadership of political parties what's so unusual I think is somebody just coming out and talking about it in public in the open it's really not the done thing in Westminster and what she's saying is we signed a deal that you know I you you promised me some things in order to get my backing including um you know apparently there was a promise of getting migration down below around I think it was 280,000 was the was the figure she mentioned um you know stuff on the echr the European convention on human rights that sunak would take the UK out of that which becomes critical after tomorrow but we'll discuss absolutely we will come on to that it's a very Newser environment um so yeah so she's just coming out in the open and saying look we have this deal and and you broke your promise to me a I don't think voters are that concerned whether Rish she soon breaks his promises to sella bravman or not I think they're more interested in what he's doing for the country but B I think one of the reasons why she's kind of shot herself in the foot somewhat here is um you know trust in politics is everything and once you sort of start going out and going on the record about these deals that were made behind closed doors I think lots more people than some of your ally allies might look at you and think gosh does this person really have the discretion they need to potentially be leader of the conservative party so I do feel she's rather overshot as Lucy was saying you know she thinks she's got this great political strategy to be the next leader of the conservative party but I think for those of us watching from the outside it appears she's maybe not playing it quite as well as she thinks she is so the eye Revenge served hot betraying the nation no mandate incapable magical thinking you've said some of these anyway uncertain weak and lacking in the qualities of leadership that this country needs I mean it was excuting no doubt about it but will he miss the voice that she had to the nation on issues like uh the stop the boats pledge do you think well look actually I think uh there's been a poll out today suggesting that a majority of the public think that sunak was right to sack her I think that may also speak to the way in which she was seen to be going rogue certainly in terms of rhetoric and tone if not in policy per se not only on immigration but recently on rough sleepers those notorious comments suggesting that being homeless is somehow a lifestyle Choice which I think again went down very badly in in her party including on the Rel on the right and the religious right there is a sort of significant minority of kind of Christian MPS on the right who who just really don't like that kind of language um look I think Rishi sunak is under pressure on migration that is clearly the case but there are many around him who think that there that much of the country where they stand is feeling concerned about migration often when people can't get a GP appointment say they themselves or their children children can't get on the housing ladder they think that that's because too many people are coming to this country whether legally or illegally however I think there are many people around sunak who think that doesn't mean the public like the kind of rhetoric again that braan has used words like Invasion hurricane and the sense that you know demonizing uh migrants isn't where necessarily many of the public are but it's certainly a live debate in the party at the moment and in the many MPS conservative MPS in the red wall uh do think that you know she is banging the drum in the right way and that this Hardline approach will be popular with their constituents so there is this real split in the party yes and amongst the hardest line bit has been the Rwanda policy so it's been a busy news week it'll be a busy news day on Wednesday certainly that is one of the things we're looking ahead to in the morning the Supreme Court will rule on the legality of the Rwanda policy to ship people to Rwanda if they land illegally in this country now certainly it's something that sella bran references but you know you take it away for sure of course well you you summarized it so well there Anna but um yes so you know it's a key government policy they think it will deter people from coming to the UK to seek Asylum if they have a policy that everybody as soon as they come to the UK will be detained and then deported at the first available opportunity to what they call a third safe country and their Asylum claims will be process there instead the only such country that they've got to deal with is Rwanda and the numbers are very small for it the issue is is that um is this lawful under UK law under you know human rights law is part of the the ECR the European Convention of Human Rights is part of UK law under our Human Rights Act and um a case has been taken and it's working its way through the various stages of the Court the court of appeal which is the last court to look at it said in theory this policy is legal you could Deport somebody to a safe third thir country but Rwanda is not a third safe country because the terrible outcomes there for um Asylum Seekers uh the fact that actually um so few people from the countries that that are in Conflict actually succeed in getting Asylum there so this the court of appeal were like you can you can have this policy but it Rwanda is not on the cards and then all of a sudden the government's got not a single country and they've got tens of thousands of people arriving in the UK to claim this island which is lower than a lot of European countries I must say it's now going to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court has to look and see whether the court of appeal made the right decision it will either say that the court of appeal got it right and actually the government can't have this policy or it will say that the court of appeal is wrong and the government can start deporting people to Rwanda so it's it's kind of a big thing for the government because it it partly determines whether their policy will work or not although I have to say I think on a practical level there are so many other reasons it's not going to to work even if it's lawful well there's the Daily Express war is declared SW accuses Rich of betraying the nation uh The Daily Star as well you know on on a news story Tor in a tears handbagged and just very quickly uh on Rwanda as well SW bra making clear that actually Rishi cak does not want to take the UK out of the echr I got the right round and align himself therefore with countries that are out which include Russia and Belarus yeah well in interestingly so braan covered herself on either out come tomorrow she said even if the Supreme Court uh goes with the government well in fact Rishi sunak has insisted on compromises to the legislation that means in practice It's Going to the Country will struggle the government will struggle to deport people to Rwanda there aren't enough safeguards against legal challenges being brought and then she says if the government goes uh if the ruling goes against the government again she blames Rishi sunak and accuses him of failing to come up with a credible Plan B as she puts it what one um scenario that I don't think's got enough um air time in the past 24 hours is the possibility that even if the Supreme Court goes against the government and says this policy is not lawful there are other European countries that are now looking at similar models for processing Asylum Seekers offshore including Germany that's looking at non-eu countries so it does feel to me that there could be growing momentum uh across the EU across Europe I should say for perhaps reforming the ECR well welcome back you are watching The Press preview with us with me once again uh the chief lead director at The Observer Sonia soda and the whiteall editor of the financial times Lucy Fisher welcome back to both of you um Lucy should we go to uh Gaza real concern now about what's happening around the hospital certainly but David Cameron new foreign secretary um the Metro tells us is already hard at work yes day one in the role and he's taken this move to sanction for Hamas leaders and two uh financiers of Hamas I interested this to me in some ways looks more of a signal that he's arrived in the foreign office and has got straight to work because Hamas is already a prescribed terrorist organization in the UK which means being associated with it in any way a member a leader financing it involved in any Administration even bearing or promoting the logo is already U illegal and subject to um very high criminal penalties so whether this takes it very much further uh in practice is questionable but certainly it is a signal it's something the UK has done in concert with the US uh and is designed perhaps as a as a gesture of solidarity to Israel at a time when the government is also becoming a little bit more critical of the ongoing bombardment uh and activity in Gaza got 30 seconds left to talk about uh cervical cancer and the success of the HPV vaccination program so the chief executive the NHS is saying that we may eliminate cervical cancer by 2040 which is amazing because at the moment it kills um I think it's over 00 women a year mostly in their 30s die of cervical cancer it's two things it's partly the vaccine which has been incredibly effective it's just one of those unambiguously good medical news stories um it's really cutting down cancer rates or it will do amongst that generation and then um it's a survical um cancer screening program smear test one in three women still miss their smear test a regular smear test so there another push to say please go and get your smear test if you get called for one
