So welcome to look ahead at what the papers are bringing us tomorrow, we | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
are joint and night by the media commentator at the Daily Telegraph | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Neal Mitchell and also we are joined by the former special adviser to | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
Harriet Harman. Let us have a look at some of the front pages in | :00:35. | :00:46. | |
detail, we are going to start, with the i, it has the headline united in | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
grief and parliament is to be called on Monday. The Financial Times also | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
highlights how the different critical parties have come together | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
following the killing. The Telegraph says that female MPs have warned of | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
the threat of fatal attacks. The Daily Express prints what it says | :01:04. | :01:12. | |
was Jo Cox's last two words. And the Mira concentrates on the MP's role | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
as a mother, a full-page picture of her with her children. The focus in | :01:18. | :01:27. | |
a lot of the papers, is very much on Jo Cox. You actually knew her? Yes I | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
knew her and I know her husband Brendan. She really was, at a time | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
when people are very cynical about politics, she did represent the best | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
about politics, she was bright, principled, passionate and also she | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
came into politics having had already, lots of causes that she | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
cared passionately about, a huge critical mission, she had campaigned | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
on human rights issues, and I think the thing that summed it up, I was | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
in the individual in Parliament Square and there were so many | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
people. And there was a broad and people were writing things, saying | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
things like "I was saddened by the death but I will be inspired by all | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
life", that is how a lot of people saw it. What do you think she would | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
have made the focus on her life as a campaigner, a politician and a | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
mother, some of the words that came from her colleague's mouth, that she | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
be allowed to leave a legacy. The language and behaviour of | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
politicians needs to change and we need to look to Jo Cox as an | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
example? She is a very humble person, she didn't want to ever be | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
forcing herself to be a centre of attention but I think the legacy she | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
must leave,, had those very beautiful words. She was very much | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
about love overhead, everything she did, was to get to a compassionate | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
and practical solution, and she railed against division and | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
prejudice. If there is anything good that can come out of this sickening | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
murder and assassination, it is for all of us involved in politics, just | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
to perhaps be a bit more kind in how we conduct our politics, because | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
there was a very and there is a very toxic atmosphere around any sort of | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
discourse about public life and I think that is corroding democracy | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
and has led to this terrible incident. That is what she would | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
re-want. 100%. What do you make of the coming together of politicians | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
today, often side-by-side, echoing tribute after tribute to a | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
politician that was clearly really well thought of, not just as a | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
person but a politician? Echoing, it is sad, it is an event like this | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
that has too happen before politicians do come together. There | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
are times at which you see, Jeremy Corbyn and David Cameron next to | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
each other, is the Cenotaph, the State Opening of Parliament and a | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
tragedy. And, her old boss Harriet Harman, we heard her same that we | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
can be brisk and vigorous, in our political discourse, at the same | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
time as, treating each other with tolerance and respect. I think, | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
America is often ahead of us, I mean further down the track, rather than | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
more enlightened in terms of their politics. So polarised now, to the | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
extent that each half of the country doubts the other half's motives. In | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
fact in Pewsey other half 's motives. I think that, a lot of | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
politicians including Harriet Harman have been saying today, we can | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
disagree with each other without believing that the other side are in | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
some way keeling intention, or wish the worst of the country. -- kill | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
intentions. Do you think, when campaigning for the EU referendum | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
starts again, do you think we will see changes in the language used? I | :05:13. | :05:22. | |
would absolutely hope so, I think that any advise involved in this, | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
both campaigns, must have the wherewithal to say to everybody, | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
everything has changed because of this. We are in a different country | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
because of what has happened. Each side has got to dial down the over | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
the top rhetoric and that has happened on both sides. And I think, | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
think very carefully about the tone with which they campaign. I don't | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
think anybody will want to see this horrible murder, politicised in | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
anyway, Joe was a fierce campaigner for the remains side and also a | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
fierce campaigner for Democritus seat, about making the arguments. As | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
Harry was saying, we can make the arguments on both sides and make the | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
way which is totally appropriate. And the call to Parliament on | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
Monday, in many ways as we have done already today, get greater insight | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
into a politician, a mother and a campaigner that some might not even | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
have heard of. And certainly didn't know, but we are getting an insight | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
into this quite unique person. And we will do further, many people | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
hadn't read the article she wrote with Andrew Mitchell about Syria, | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
Andrew Mitchell was known to most people, about the Downing Street | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
incident, that he, and this very sensible Yorkshire lass, who was a | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
social campaigner, far removed from the Tory party, the idea that they | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
could work together on an issue as emotive as Syria, was really | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
impressive. And Stephen Kinnock, her Parliamentary office mate, I think | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
they share an office, barely able to contain his emotion when he was | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
speaking. There will be much more of that and presumably it will be at | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
the same time as the debate about politics, moves on about the | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
security of MPs, the way that we talk about MPs, regard in which we | :07:34. | :07:42. | |
hold them or don't hold them. It is only seven years, since the expenses | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
crisis, when MPs were suddenly lower than bankers. In the nation's | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
esteem, and it has been easy for people to forget. I wonder how it | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
has been going down particularly with young people. There is a huge | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
issue in trust in politics and output a cool class, it is | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
incredibly interesting, it has given people a breath to stop for a minute | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
and one of the interesting things on social media as B-nets hashtag | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
#ThankYourMP where lots of people had taken the opportunity to try and | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
recognise the good work that MPs do, and we have had quite if you | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
articles over the last 24 hours reminding us that it is fashionable | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
to say, snouts in the troughs and they are all in it for themselves. | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
But actually, politicians of all political views tend to go into | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
politics to do good, they make lots of personal sacrifices. They work | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
pretty much every day of the week, they are not in it for the money and | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
it is important to remember, that if you constantly denigrate politicians | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
and politics, you will get the politics that you have asked for. On | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
the safety issue, I think this will be an issue that is very important | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
because most MPs will not want to have heavy security. Or the need to | :09:05. | :09:13. | |
have security, you don't get American senators having surgeries | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
about noisy neighbours. Know but congressmen and senators travel on | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
public transport and walk around on the street. But British politics has | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
a unique accessibility, but a lot of female MPs in particular, friends of | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
mine, get death threats, rape threats, threats of extreme sexual | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
violence on a daily basis. 12 of the daily papers reporting on female | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
politicians stop you even today, I was looking at Jess Phillips's | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
timeline, she's still getting the most horrific abuse. A lot of staff | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
who run them, the constituencies, our young women. There is no | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
security. There is an issue about how do you carry on and have that | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
unique accessibility and openness, but how do you also look after the | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
MPs and the staff also doing an important job? And you think that | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
debate. Quite soon? I think it has already started. As you say, the | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
front page of the Telegraph is talking tomorrow, about how female | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
MPs warned that there could be a fatal incident if security was not | :10:24. | :10:32. | |
improved. The correspondence between Theresa Mahan some senior police | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
chiefs, you don't want to throw the Democratic baby out with the bath | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
water. You don't want one incident, horrific and tragic as it is, to | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
completely change the very good way in which we do politics, which is | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
that you can go and see your MP about your noisy neighbour, all your | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
Visa. That is what Stephen Timms said, he got varies seriously | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
stabbed in his constituency by a woman a number of years ago -- very | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
seriously. He still carries on the surgeries. He has been out today | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
saying that he thinks it is very important that that culture | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
continues. There seems to be a wave of change within the public as well, | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
if you are across social media today, there was a hashtag trending | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
highly. Not everyone was thinking the MP. But mainly, it was people | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
saying, my local MPs in a fantastic job. You can tell, that those MPs | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
were quite touched by some of the messages that they were getting. | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
Particularly in this dark day after the death of Jo Cox. That is | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
absolutely right, lots of MPs especially post-expenses, most of | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
the MPs were badly caught up, they resigned all day went to prison but | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
they have tended to be away from Parliament. There is a whole new | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
generation of MPs who came in from 2015, and they I think a lot of them | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
had been quite humbled by this #ThankYourMP, they say they have | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
come into politics where they did not expect anyone to say thank you. | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
Nobody wants a sanitised culture where the media just praises MPs, we | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
want our MPs to be held to account in a rigorous way, in the way that | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
the British press do. But there is something about if you constantly | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
just denigrate MPs day in and day out, you do drip poison into the | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
overall thing about where public opinion is. We want to end the | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
programme showing the front cover of the times, the reason for this, is | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
that they have made the call on the position on the EU referendum, which | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
is not long away? The referendum campaign has restarted, tomorrow | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
morning, the Times leader coming out forum Main, it is a four page | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
editorial, we read it so you don't have to do. It is very much a hold | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
your nose in Dorset of remains from the times. So the league campaign | :13:16. | :13:27. | |
have made a great case. -- the Leave campaign. They say David Cameron | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
needs to go back yet again, after the shuttle diplomacy that he did | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
earlier in the year, to EU leaders to say that this is a common market. | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
That is where they start from. That in 1975 we voted to remain in the | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
common market, a capitalist project and it should be according to The | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
Times again, and the French, specifically should not be allowed | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
to stand in the way of free-market reforms, so they are really saying | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
that David Cameron should go out and be a Tory in Europe, assuming that | :13:58. | :14:07. | |
the vote goes remain on Thursday. You would know more than anything, | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
what do you think we will see happen in politicians in the next few days | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
as we head closer? I think campaigning will resume in all | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
honesty Sunday into Monday definitely. I think that the remain | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
campaign will stick on the message in the economy, I think this | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
development of the time is coming out his incredibly helpful, Remain | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
site and I think Leave will have two things very carefully about how they | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
pitch their message. It will be very tight and both sides will be | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
focusing heavily on the turnout, because that will make a huge swing | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
of difference, and I think they will be targeting young people. A lot of | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
young people are saying that they will not even vote. A lot of people | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
say that the older vote will come out but it is who can motivate the | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
younger people, I think you will only get to the younger people with | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
a more positive message of hope. Thank you very much for that, thanks | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
for watching. Don't forget, all of the front pages are wrong line where | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
you can read a details review, seven days a week. You can seek us the | :15:24. | :15:34. | |
two. Just shortly after we have finished. -- you can see us there | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
too. We will be back with the latest headlines. | :15:39. | :15:53. | |
Good evening, after a week of wild weather, things are | :15:54. | :15:54. |
