Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are michael booker, Deputy Editor of the daily express, and faiza shaheen, the director of the centre for labour and social studies, and former labour prospective parliamentary candidate. We will chat in a moment, a quick look first through the front pages, dominated by Dominic Cummings. The Daily Telegraph reports Dominic Cummings was ordered out of downing street for good, after being accused of briefing against the Prime Minister. According to the times, the departures of lee cain and Dominic Cummings represent the conclusion of a vicious power struggle at the heart of government. The Financial Times says the architect of britains exit from the eu left downing street carrying a Cardboard Box and a trove of potentially dangerous secrets, and quotes a government insider saying they wouldnt be surprised if theres an explosive stunt between now and christmas. The i reports it was a bitter end to life at downing street for Dominic Cummings, after days of political turmoil as, according to the paper borisjohnson lost patience with his controversial chief adviser after toxic infighting. While the guardian says the Prime Minister has been urged to appoint an mp as his permanent chief of staff to help heal deep divisions between him and his backbenchers. The daily mail reports the Health Secretary has vowed to ring fence a supply of coronavirus swabs for family visitors to care homes in england in the run up to christmas. The daily mirror reflects on the victims of the yorkshire ripper, who died today, saying they can now rest in peace. And the Yorkshire Post also carries pictures of sutcliffes victims, saying his deaths ends one of the most hauntingly notorious chapters in yorkshires history. 0k, ok, lets begin our chat and start with the guardian. Michael, could you kick us off . Im interested to know, what you think is the legacy . While im not sure exactly what the legacy is. To brexiteers, hes the man who got brexit over the line. I think a lot of people who support brexit will think fondly of him for that. There is going to be a lot of people in westminster who are glad hes gone. It sounds like a lot of people in downing street are glad hes gone. If you look at the headline, i think that sums it up for a lot of people the politicians wanted all to be about them, theyre the ones who are elected, we put them in there. We dont expect it all to be decided by one guy. And as that headline goes towards, it was getting to a point where it was all about one guy, reading across the papers tonight, it is clear that cabinet ministers we re it is clear that cabinet ministers were being ignored, mps were being ignored, there was a lot of people being cut out of Decision Making, and it was coming down to people like Dominic Cummings going straight to the Prime Minister or even behind his back and going to michael gove instead. To me, thats not democracy, thats not what we put people in there for. So it looks as if he got a bit too powerful, a bit big for his boots, and hes gone. That picture on the front page of the guardian blessed out there, a lot of the other papers have got that picture on the inside. About an hour ago, that was the picture that was expected when he broke the lock down rules earlier in the year, but the captain on for another six months. In the end i dont think he did any good that he was there advising all the way through, because not a lot has gone right ever since he stayed on. So maybe he shouldve left and they couldve lanced the boiled there and then. But hes gone and we will see what happens next. Its interesting that a special adviser is making the front page of National News papers. They are meant to be the men in the. Yes, here we are with Dominic Cummings on the front of the papers, and many in this country havent forgotten the fallout about Dominic Cummings at the beginning of his la st cummings at the beginning of his last lock down, getting in his car and driving to durham, and the various stories told at the back of that. Theres a lot of anger at people felt Boris Johnson shouldve sacked him at that time, and it didnt happen. Hes leaving now, the story today is that hes been pushed out suddenly. Yesterday we were hearing that he was planning to leave by christmas. We can get very drawn into the personal story of Dominic Cummings, but there are wider implications here. Theres a story about what Boris Johnson is thinking, this is a personal spat. If this is about Boris Johnson wanting to change tactics in light of biden winning in america, if he wants to go softer or perhaps to tone down on some of the culture war aspects that Dominic Cummings was very keen on it with brexit and the re st of very keen on it with brexit and the rest of it, there is questions asked if this is a sign that Boris Johnson will fold on some of the exit deal aspects with the eu. There are questions about what this means going forward. Who will replace Dominic Cummings, the. Who will be the new power brokers in number ten, and what does that mean importantly for us, with the rest of the country in the middle of a pandemic . What does that mean for how things will be dealt with in terms of track and trace . Will that finally be sorted out . What happens with lockdown measures and the vaccine . Will that be left in the shambles . What does it mean for the Unemployment Rate thatis it mean for the Unemployment Rate that is rocketing up and the various economic implications . And we just havent had anything this year from government as told from a wider direction. Thats what we really need to look for for yesterdays key, what does that mean for the type of government we will have going into 2021 . Rememberthat type of government we will have going into 2021 . Remember that a year ago borisjohnson going into 2021 . Remember that a year ago Boris Johnson came going into 2021 . Remember that a year ago borisjohnson came in, and an 80 seat majority. This is been a big fall from grace during this year notjust for dominic big fall from grace during this year not just for Dominic Cummings, who helped him get that majority, but for the government more widely. Lets turn to the front page of the Daily Telegraph. Two extra names added to this whole mix. We have Carrie Symonds, michael gove Carrie Symonds, michael gove Carrie Symonds, michael gove Carrie Symonds is named as one of the reasons that we saw all this dramatic exiting today, but michael gove also a name people are heading to to get things done. What are the objects on this . This has got where the details of the drama thats been going on behind closed doors. It is fairly juicy going on behind closed doors. It is fairlyjuicy stuff, going on behind closed doors. It is fairly juicy stuff, and going on behind closed doors. It is fairlyjuicy stuff, and it does say that what has been claimed on one side is that borisjohnson hasnt been making any decisions particularly quickly, its alluded to the fact that since his brush with coronavirus, he hasnt been able to make up his mind as much as he used to. What it says in here is that those on cummings aside have been circumventing him, going to michael gove instead and then getting decisions made in that way. Theres also claims that Carrie Symonds, the Prime Ministers fiance, its been claimed shes been sending up to 25 texts and hours of the Prime Minister with her thoughts on various policies. Im sure that wont be denied by her side. Itjust goes to show that there is a lot of briefing still going on from both sides, both are trying to get their arguments across. Its clear that borisjohnson has chosen aside, we are told theres two sides, the Dominic Cummings side with lee cain, and the other side with Carrie Symonds and downing street. He wants a softer style of governing in the new year, i think obviously once we come through the pandemic, he cant be that combative all the time. And a government like that doesnt last very long, and i think hes realised that. Its only short term thinking to have someone who is like Dominic Cummings, a disrupter all the time. Next year hopefully we are through the pandemic, hopefully the brexit deal is done without any particular pick ups, and we can get back to normal. I think we would like some quietness in politics, some normality like they seem to be trying to do in america. But i think there will be ongoing rails between there will be ongoing rails between the two, and its clear that they area bit the two, and its clear that they are a bit worried about what Dominic Cummings has in his big box of doom that hes carried out of downing street tonight. Turning to the front page of the times, a closer shot of that box of doom, as you referred to it, michael. The front page of the times, cummings forced out and purge of brexiteers. What do you think of the timing of all this . Its not good timing, is it . Its not good timing with the pandemic, but also, and this is set in the article, we still havent got a brexit deal, and we are going into more negotiations with the eu next week. So it is a shambles in the heart of numberten. Week. So it is a shambles in the heart of number ten. Rarely do we get this glimpse of the inner workings, and it does feel like that top team that was there when Boris Johnson was in number ten last year has fallen apart. One of the things we really do to look to know is not just who replaces him, but who else they will let go of . What are the ripple effects of this . Because there is a very strong number of people who came in because of their struggle with Dominic Cummings, brexiteers, strong brexiteers that was also true of the cabinet that johnson collected, they were chosen for their loyalty. So the ripple effects of this in terms of the staff, who sits at the heart of numberten, and the staff, who sits at the heart of number ten, and the power that they have are pretty consequential. One of the things that the telegraph and the times alludes to his Dominic Cummings doesnt seem to be a good to me to have. If theyve parted on bad terms and cummings is annoyed and has all this gossip that he continues to put into the press and brief against borisjohnson, then that will continue to be a problem. He wont go quietly. Quickly, final comment on this story, it does raise the question of how was that he was given so much power . Well, because they thought he was brilliant, they thought he was this genius with what he did with vote leave and how he powered that campaign, and with the election last year. In the telegraph, it says how it all went to his head and he thought he was as great genius and untouchable. Turns out hes not untouchable, and hes out. Staying with you, michael, the Yorkshire Post, very powerfulfront page following the death of Peter Sutcliffe. But we are talking about the mums, sisters and daughters, says the front page. Its treating them humanely, which some of them at them humanely, which some of them at the time when it first happened back between 1975 80, they werent treated like that, like mums, sisters or daughters. They were treated fairly badly or disregarded as to the seriousness of the crime against them, and how they should be treated. The police today, West Yorkshire police, have apologised for that and some of the language used back then, they said it was inexcusable then an excuse inexcusable then an excuse inexcusable now. They felt they had to say it, and the Yorkshire Post, the mirror have done a similar front page. No sign of Peter Sutcliffe himself who, over the years, has become this arts figured that spend more of a cartoon. And youve stripped away the evil of what he actually did. When you remember, my family is from West Yorkshire and we used to visit the area when i was 56 used to visit the area when i was 5 6 around 1980, and i remember there was this trauma across West Yorkshire, particularly in leeds and bradford that affected a great number of people. In the express tomorrow, we talked to one lady whos now in her 70s, but back then and still now she looks over her shoulder whenever she leaves the home because it did traumatise that area so home because it did traumatise that area so badly. People wondered if they would be the next victim. Tha nkfully they would be the next victim. Thankfully there is some closure now with his death, and thankfully those victims are on page one of those papers and we are remembering them, not him. In the late 80s and 90s. Lets move onto the independent, no mixing indoors after lockdown, says scientists. Yes, the Sage Committee have said after this lockdown we are currently in, which is due to end on the 2nd of december, we cannot go back to mixing freely in our homes, and thats had huge repercussions for christmas. Right now people celebrating diwali are also unable to meet their families. But there is a sense that hopefully these things would be over by christmas. Boris johnson had said that, and even with this lockdown we are hoping that if we went into lockdown now, we could save christmas. So there will be repercussions for mental health, isolation. This isntjust a nice thing to do, a lot of people havent been able to hug someone all year. And the idea that christmas they wont be able to see their family again is really troubling and deeply upsetting, its been a very difficult year for people. And its worth saying as well that the Stage Committee have been clear that the tears havent worked, and going into these tears that are less stringent doesnt really help to block the infection from spreading. And if we dont want to have a third wave in january, we cannot just dont want to have a third wave in january, we cannotjust open up and act like things are normal for christmas. Lets go to the front page of the daily mail, if we could michael. We will show this christmas we care this christmas, a pledge by matt hancock. That hancock has spoken to the daily mail, theyve been campaigning to get people to see their loved ones over the next month or so in the run up to christmas. Families. Its been particularly bad with care homes, lots of people havent been able to see their loved ones, only seeing them through may be windows or on ipads in many cases where people are not allowed to visit at all. Theres this question thats been raised, this question thats been raised, this Spare Capacity of testing, around 200,000, and the question has been asked by many papers as to why these cannot go into the care homes. Matt hancock goes some way to address that, saying there will be a pilot scheme, 20 care homes in which people will be able to get a test and result in 30 minutes, and then you can visit. They will strip away some of the prisonlike conditions of visiting as well to make it more human. Hopefully for some families this will work, but theres clearly people who are saying this isnt going far enough, theres this huge Spare Capacity. Clearly hancock must be careful because we are seeing so many deaths in care homes because of the virus, and he clearly doesnt wa nt to the virus, and he clearly doesnt want to be blamed for any more outbreaks. So it is clearly very delicate of a situation, but it is moving in the right direction. And again, with what we heard about the vaccine earlier in the week, its another little bit of hope and a little bit of happiness after a fairly gloomy year. But it wont be eve ryo ne fairly gloomy year. But it wont be everyone wandering into care homes and seeing their loved ones straightaway unfortunately. The focus is all on christmas, isnt it . Our final focus is all on christmas, isnt it . Ourfinal paper with focus is all on christmas, isnt it . Our final paper with your experience within the labour party, its actually page two of the times. Starmer in control after momentum falls short. Your starmer in control after momentum falls short. Your thoughts . Starmer in control after momentum falls short. Your thoughts . This is a story about the elections of the labour party, which is a Decision Making party dutch big Decision Making party dutch big Decision Making party. Its not a story about the left having one, but its a mix. The left, because of whats happened with Jeremy Corbyn and various different people leaving the party, they actually didnt expect to do as well as they have done. But they still dont have a majority. So this is the right and secure starmer can still control that. But those are the ones who have been in the the labour party, it can be frustrating, and mr starmer has to do a great job of making sur
