and went on to present Crackerjack and Top of the Pops. | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
With me are the journalist Benedicte Paviot from the news | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
channel France 24 and the political commentator and former adviser to | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
The Independent on Sunday leads with claims that Jeremy Corbyn | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
is planning to fast-track changes to party policy on Trident. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
School discipline is the lead in the Observer which claims | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
the prime minister is to suggest that parents should have a say in | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
The Mail on Sunday matches our top story this evening, | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
the swoop by police in Ghana on the main suspect police want to speak to | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
in connection with the murder of Sian Blake and her young sons. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
The front of the Sunday Times also carries a photo of the suspect | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
Arthur Simpson-Kent but its main story is about the junior doctors | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
The planned junior doctors strike is also the lead in the Telegraph, | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
with the health secretary claiming the walkout could hit A units. | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
And finally the Sun splashes with allegations | :01:13. | :01:13. | |
about the private life of the singer Cheryl Fernandez-Versini. | :01:14. | :01:25. | |
We will begin with politics, as we often do on a Saturday night. The | :01:26. | :01:35. | |
Observer, Jeremy Corbyn urges party unity as a top MP quits. We will | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
have to wait to see who this is. Yes, Alison McGovern. She has | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
already quit, and one could be mistaken for thinking this is going | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
to be another live resignation on the BBC on Sunday. It seems she has | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
already resigned, but the Observer says she will be launching a very | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
bitter attack against John McDonnell, because he in fact | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
earlier this week accused the pressure group Progress, which she | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
chairs, has been full of people with heart right conservative views. The | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
problem with what we are seeing in this column is the development of | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
another internal story to the Labour Party, as opposed to the Labour | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
Party telling the world and certainly the nation, let alone its | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
own MPs, what its policy is under Jeremy Corbyn. The alarm here is the | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
fact that Jeremy Corbyn, although the title says that he urges party | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
unity, in another place it talks about imposing unity, because he | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
seems to be bypassing Labour Party MPs, because he wants to do that and | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
get through his policy on Trident. Will come to Trident in a moment, | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
but when you look at the state of the Labour Party, what your | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
feelings? I think what Alison McGovern is right to highlight is | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
this worrying development we have seen that started during the | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
leadership election, which has seen a coarsening of the internal debate | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
within the Labour Party, a real descent into tactics online that | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
seemed to be operating online from parts of the party, which owes | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
nothing to labour values, and has the Shadow Chancellor making | :03:40. | :03:51. | |
comments about Labour Party members. I think they would prefer to see the | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
Shadow Chancellor talking about George Osborne about policy, rather | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
than making is here as claims about the BBC and the other MPs. There is | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
a suggestion here that there would be a fast track way of teaching | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Trident. How would it work if this article is correct? Despite all the | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
shenanigans, the position of the Shadow Cabinet is not fundamentally | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
changed on Trident. It is party policy, it is what MPs stood on at | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
the last election. What Jeremy Corbyn is looking to do is create a | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
rival power base by using the national executive committee of the | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Labour Party as an alternative voice in this debate. But the fundamental | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
mistake is the more that there is a narrowing of policy debate within | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
the Labour Party, the more we will get ourselves into trouble. We | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
should be looking to broaden the policy debate we are having to have | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
more party members, not to mention the public, somewhere in this debate | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
as well. It was the MPs who were voted in, wasn't it? Yes, in May | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
2015. I know a week is a long time in politics, but surely by now, what | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
would be the real responsibility of the Shadow Cabinet? What is the | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
point of a reshuffle if you are going to try to bypass the Shadow | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Cabinet anyway? I think this is very worrying, and it seems like the | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
party has not settled down, we were supposed to have a debate in summer, | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
the reason the election had been lengthened, and all this talk that | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
the media is concentrating on, because it seems to be a lot of | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
internal politics going on. Let's look at the Sunday Times. David | :05:39. | :05:48. | |
Cameron, I will bulldoze Sin Cara states -- sink states. This would be | :05:49. | :06:14. | |
to destroy 100 of Britain's sink estates. This is to tackle drug | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
abuse and address poverty. This is to try to really get rid of poverty | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
in this country. But it is also making me think of what we were | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
talking about earlier Ron, parenting classes. It is almost as if the | :06:28. | :06:37. | |
PM's feeling about the country, the family, I think there is a real | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
concern on his part that poverty and drug abuse, and families being a bit | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
disjointed and living inside those estates... He says the families are | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
doing their best but the environment they live in is dire and therefore | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
not conducive to addressing gangs. This will appeal to a lot of Labour | :07:02. | :07:18. | |
voters, won't it? I think... I am sure what will turn out to be the | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
case is that the reality of this policy will turn out to be different | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
from the headline here, and of course you can't talk about the | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
circumstances people are living in without raising the fundamental | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
issues of the fact that this is the same government that is cutting tax | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
credits, that has seen a record number of people going to food | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
banks. If David Cameron really wants to reduce poverty, a headline in the | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
Sunday Times and about sink estates is not the way to do it. The key is | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
to occupy the centre ground, because Jeremy Corbyn is not occupying its. | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
Sir Philip Dilly, who got into a bit of hot water because he was here | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
when all the flood problems were happening, he is the Environment | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
Agency's chair, he was on holiday. Not in the part of the West Indies | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
that he said he was in. On one level, if your home has been flooded | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
it is ghastly, and doesn't really matter if his family relations from | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
Barbados or to automaker? The reason it matters is that the initial | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
statement that the Environment Agency put out was disingenuous, and | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
the reason it matters in reality is because it speaks to a lack of grip | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
that the Environment Agency had going into this problem -- Jamaica. | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
But more than that, it would seem basic common sense that if you have | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
the kind of job that he has Environment Agency, you would think | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
that being around at this time would probably be a good idea. It is | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
just, when people are having a really tough time, it is bad enough | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
that they think, it is all right to you, you are in Barbados, he is | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
entitled to don his holiday, but it is the timing. I think it is the | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
fact that there was an attempt to lie, certainly to obfuscate at | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
first. I like that better. And this at a time when people's livelihoods | :09:26. | :09:34. | |
and homes and businesses are threatened, very understandably, to | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
then have someone who was available I'm sure via Skype and e-mail and | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
text message, the last thing you want to do is lie about that. It is | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
unfortunate, not a good idea. Of course, when we know how much is | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
paid and he is working three days a week, it gives the impression of | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
somebody that is not very conducive, when there are people who are facing | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
their futures, with businesses having to close down, and the | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
problem of insurance, and how people will get through the coming months | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
when all their possessions and livelihoods have been threatened or | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
are finished. And they will have to completely rebuild their lives. | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
CabiNet split over Europe censorship in the Sunday Times. -- the Sunday | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
Telegraph. A suggestion that David Cameron is trying to keep | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
Eurosceptic ministers on a tight rein over their messaging. There is | :10:32. | :10:44. | |
a suggestion that there will not be collective responsibility, that | :10:45. | :10:53. | |
ministers will be free to vote in conscience. The CabiNet split in | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
itself is not a secret, but the fact that civil servants are apparently | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
looking at speeches and toning down the Eurosceptic nature of certain | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
ministers' speeches, and at the same time others are being encouraged to | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
make Euro friendly speeches, so that is being criticised as being double | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
standards. The Chancellor and PM accused of having already made up | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
their minds, that they would rather stay in. What an exclusive! This is | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
part of the problem, the government has to maintain its fiction that it | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
somehow hasn't made up its mind about whether it thinks Britain | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
should be a member of the EU. This whole problem comes back to David | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
Cameron's focus, because of the nature of the splits within the | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
Conservative Party, in having to focus on party management rather | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
than national interest. That is what is depressing about this whole | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
debate. Whatever happens in this renegotiation, some people will say | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
it is enough mark others that it is not. It doesn't change the | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
fundamentals of whether Britain is better in Europe or not. That is | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
what the argument will be about, and we might as well just get on with | :12:06. | :12:14. | |
it. Here we have a cartoon. The husband says, I can't come to | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
church, the communion wine will push me over my weekly limit. You have | :12:19. | :12:29. | |
got to live a little. All of these experts, whether it is statins, they | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
tell you this, they tell you that, I think a little bit of alcohol, | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
generally I like it with a bit of food... I think having been raised | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
like that, and a lot of French people are, then you enjoy it. Some | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
people said Champagne is like drinking the stars, and I like | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
sometimes been closer to the stars. I like that idea. It is a panel of | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
people giving advice about something people think they know best about. | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
The interesting thing is the story about the Pope and the leadership | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
within the church, and yet again you are seeing a change of tone from the | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
Pope, the challenge he will face is trying to change doctrine, of | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
course. On a Sunday, the best day of the week to start. Lovely to see you | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
both, thank you. Up next, The Film Review. | :13:29. | :13:30. |
