Eyewitnesses say a carriage derailed and fell, before landing on top

:00:11.:00:13.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:14.:00:18.

With me are Jim Waterson, who's the politics editor

:00:19.:00:27.

at BuzzFeed UK, and Rosamund Urwin, a columnist for the

:00:28.:00:30.

How different it all could have been!

:00:31.:00:32.

The i says Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been rocked

:00:33.:00:38.

by a walk-out of his Shadow Cabinet and has a helpful column

:00:39.:00:41.

of pictures of all those members who've quit today.

:00:42.:00:44.

The Metro comments on the political chaos

:00:45.:00:50.

following the referendum vote - the lights are on at Westminster,

:00:51.:00:52.

The Express says the Prime Minister's coming under pressure

:00:53.:00:56.

to leave Downing Street early to foil what it calls a plot to stop

:00:57.:01:00.

The Guardian says Jeremy Corbyn is determined to stay as Labour

:01:01.:01:04.

leader despite his Shadow Cabinet disintegrating.

:01:05.:01:08.

The Telegraph also leads on the Labour mutiny -

:01:09.:01:10.

but its front page is dominated by a quote from its exclusive

:01:11.:01:13.

While the FT says Britain is facing what it calls the "stark reality"

:01:14.:01:21.

of the international consequences of its vote to leave the EU.

:01:22.:01:28.

Let's start with Labour, shall we quiz --?. The Guardian. The London

:01:29.:01:39.

have resigned from Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet and it will probably show

:01:40.:01:44.

you pictures of them. Hillary Cording, -- Hilary Benn, late last

:01:45.:01:46.

night, rang up Jeremy Corbyn and said, you are a nice chap but I do

:01:47.:01:52.

not have confidence in you. Exactly that. And nobody had resigned for

:01:53.:01:58.

that whole period, and this was just that stage, staggered run of

:01:59.:02:02.

resignations. Corbyn had a lot of problems forming a Shadow Cabinet.

:02:03.:02:05.

He was supposed to be bringing a lot of people together and there were a

:02:06.:02:08.

lot too would not serve under him. Who does he have left, possibly? How

:02:09.:02:12.

can he stay on when the statement that came out only had the support

:02:13.:02:18.

of 16 MPs? M's you say it was this staged, staggered thing -- yes, but

:02:19.:02:25.

you see. It looks like it was choreographed or perhaps it was,

:02:26.:02:31.

I'll do it, will you do it? Were people waiting to see who went?

:02:32.:02:36.

Speaking to these and the Corbyn MPs, certainly they are coming from

:02:37.:02:40.

that direction, the thing was until the referendum came around they were

:02:41.:02:42.

not quite expecting this. Margaret Hodge then failed a no-confidence

:02:43.:02:46.

motion on Friday, Hilary Benn started speaking to people and then

:02:47.:02:49.

suddenly as soon as people realised it was go, there was coordination

:02:50.:02:56.

and the clip it out hour by hour, creating that sense of total chaos

:02:57.:03:05.

within Labour -- the dripped it out. Nobody expected this at that time.

:03:06.:03:10.

When we got a call from Jeremy Corbyn at one ANC and, we have

:03:11.:03:13.

sacked Hilary Benn, get the word out, and then you have essentially

:03:14.:03:16.

had resignation stories -- at one o'clock in the morning. Everyone is

:03:17.:03:21.

very tired, and these are important decisions. And dragged back from

:03:22.:03:26.

Glastonbury, the deputy leader, to speak to Corbyn tomorrow. The silent

:03:27.:03:34.

disco at Glastonbury! The thing is the way the Labour leadership gets

:03:35.:03:38.

decided is dependent upon grassroots support, isn't it? And Jeremy Corbyn

:03:39.:03:41.

seems to have a lot of support from the rank of the party. Absolutely

:03:42.:03:48.

and there is discussion momentum will turn up at the Commons

:03:49.:03:52.

tomorrow, and protest, groups of them. There is also the fact there

:03:53.:03:56.

is this campaign, don't attack him. A lot of the reason he ended up

:03:57.:03:58.

being nominated in the first place was about Labour MPs who switched

:03:59.:04:03.

their vote so he had enough nominations to ensure a broad

:04:04.:04:07.

debate, but because their party memories were saying to them,

:04:08.:04:12.

usually must broaden this debate. -- their party members. One Labour MP

:04:13.:04:16.

told me the deeply regretted it. It was on Monday. They had gone onto

:04:17.:04:20.

the constituency and had three days being told by your party members, we

:04:21.:04:23.

won you your seat at the General Election, so do this for us, move

:04:24.:04:30.

your vote off Andy Burnham, Liz Kendall, whoever, and give it to

:04:31.:04:33.

him. We will return to this a little more in a minute when we look at the

:04:34.:04:36.

high newspaper, but the other story from the Guardian. The shock of the

:04:37.:04:42.

EU vote since then. Who will be surprised by this, Jim, because

:04:43.:04:44.

there were warnings from various quarters that this could happen? No

:04:45.:04:49.

proof of it of course before the fact. People will still be digestive

:04:50.:04:54.

and working out whether they want to move significant numbers of staff

:04:55.:04:57.

abroad and the next thing is will it, you have these surveys, you go

:04:58.:05:00.

around and ask Chief Executive 's who will be filling quite nervous

:05:01.:05:05.

right now. A lot of uncertainty -- Chief Executives. You will see a cut

:05:06.:05:08.

in investment initially and then you get that crunch time. If it is hard

:05:09.:05:14.

to take currency with Europe, if it becomes more difficult to trade with

:05:15.:05:19.

certain segments, you know, you might not want a new car assembly

:05:20.:05:22.

line in when the old one runs out, and it. Too slowly seep away and see

:05:23.:05:26.

where these jobs go. I do not know where they will go, but it is not

:05:27.:05:30.

good if people are saying this. It is the fact that we just do not know

:05:31.:05:33.

at the moment. There are negotiations about the new

:05:34.:05:37.

relationship Britain has with the rest of the European Union, they

:05:38.:05:41.

have not even started yet. What firms ultimately do well and

:05:42.:05:45.

depended upon that? Geller might guess, but lots of people will make

:05:46.:05:50.

decisions quite quickly. If you speak to people in investment banks

:05:51.:05:55.

in London -- yes, but lots of people will make decisions quickly. They

:05:56.:05:59.

have their European headquarters here, perhaps the US law firm, they

:06:00.:06:02.

think those jobs will be moved out quite quickly, and I think the

:06:03.:06:09.

problem is and, you know, having been a market Reporter, one of the

:06:10.:06:11.

things you know is the market moves so hugely on uncertainty and it

:06:12.:06:16.

loves stability and of course tomorrow there will be another drop

:06:17.:06:23.

in the FTSE 100 and expectation is about 3%. Someone is making some

:06:24.:06:28.

money somewhere. Someone always does. The i Newspaper. Corbyn rocked

:06:29.:06:33.

by cabinet walk-out. Here are the people who decided to go, or in the

:06:34.:06:37.

case of Hilary Benn at the top, he was sacked. Diane Abbott was

:06:38.:06:42.

speaking today and she said, this is just opportunistic, this has been

:06:43.:06:45.

planned for ages. It has nothing to do with reasons being given by these

:06:46.:06:49.

people, that they did not like the way Jeremy Corbyn performed in the

:06:50.:06:55.

referendum on the of Remain. Think you are right. It has been something

:06:56.:07:00.

building it for a very long time, not only because of that, however

:07:01.:07:05.

this is a genuine constitutional crisis. It is telling that this

:07:06.:07:09.

front page, even in the time between it being produced and sent to us,

:07:10.:07:12.

there is another person gone who is not even on their, so, you know, the

:07:13.:07:17.

scale of the walk-out is absolutely enormous. The newspaper front pages

:07:18.:07:21.

after going to keep up. We did wonder whether they would all be out

:07:22.:07:24.

of date by the time we went to a? Yes, but they have to act now. If he

:07:25.:07:28.

is not going to be their leader possibly for the next General

:07:29.:07:31.

Election, that is the assumption, if we're going to have a new

:07:32.:07:36.

Conservative leader, we are likely fairly soon afterwards to have a

:07:37.:07:39.

General Election in order to achieve legitimacy for that leader. Will be

:07:40.:07:43.

really want to do that? They may not have a choice. -- will they really

:07:44.:07:49.

want to do that. Tom Watson's statement, probably the definition

:07:50.:07:52.

of lukewarm, having come back from Glastonbury, where he had

:07:53.:07:56.

conveniently been a way out of radio contact, he pops up with the

:07:57.:08:01.

statement, and in that he says very little in support of Jeremy Corbyn

:08:02.:08:04.

and quite a lot in terms of, we have an election, we will almost

:08:05.:08:08.

certainly have to fight it and we need proper leadership. The coded

:08:09.:08:11.

message is that the current leadership is not proper leadership.

:08:12.:08:15.

Let's look at the Telegraph. The exclusive interview, as we know,

:08:16.:08:20.

Boris Johnson, who writes for this paper. We must be proud and

:08:21.:08:25.

positive, he says. Let's read it. We must reach out, we must heal, we

:08:26.:08:29.

must build bridges, because it is clear some have feelings of dismay,

:08:30.:08:34.

loss and confusion. I believe this climate of apprehension is

:08:35.:08:36.

understandable given what people were told during the campaign but

:08:37.:08:39.

based on a profound misunderstanding of what has really taken place. At

:08:40.:08:43.

home and abroad the negative consequences are being wildly

:08:44.:08:45.

overdone and the upside is being ignored. The upside being an

:08:46.:08:50.

opportunity to recast our relationship with Brussels and the

:08:51.:08:53.

rest of the EU? Yes, and of course in response to all those companies

:08:54.:08:59.

leaving, Boris will presumably say, we will get more in exports, but of

:09:00.:09:03.

course we are a net importer and exporter never been our big thing.

:09:04.:09:09.

But, anyway. He did not of course look either proud or positive on

:09:10.:09:13.

Friday morning, did the? Of course he was tired and all those things

:09:14.:09:17.

but he had expected to lose and he had expected to lose by a narrow

:09:18.:09:21.

margin -- did he? I think there is a bit of Boris. I mean, his heart

:09:22.:09:25.

never appeared to be in this... We have heard people like Alastair

:09:26.:09:28.

Campbell seeing today what they were expecting was to lose by 2%, 51

:09:29.:09:37.

Remain, 49 Leave. We do not know that for sure. Nigel Farage

:09:38.:09:41.

obviously did say he thought he had lost at their closing poll, and

:09:42.:09:45.

Boris spoke to somebody on the Tube, didn't he? He did later deny that,

:09:46.:09:49.

but I think the interesting thing with this is Boris is now having to

:09:50.:09:54.

fashion a case in a very Boris manner for a very open and positive

:09:55.:09:59.

trading with the world sort of Vote Leave result, all about boosting

:10:00.:10:02.

job, trading with Europe and everywhere else. I do not believe a

:10:03.:10:07.

lot of Remain voters, I mean a lot of them did vote for that, but a lot

:10:08.:10:11.

of them were for cutting that off and if he does not deliver on that

:10:12.:10:14.

he will have a very disappointed support this. But during the

:10:15.:10:19.

campaign, months ago, when Boris Johnson first decided he was going

:10:20.:10:23.

to campaign to leave, and then it was again repeated I believe by

:10:24.:10:26.

Michael Howard and Young who has been prominent in promoting reading

:10:27.:10:32.

comic he told us the other night, that the idea would be to

:10:33.:10:37.

renegotiate terms -- in promoting the league campaign. To drive a hard

:10:38.:10:41.

bargain with the EU, then put it to a separate referendum. This is not

:10:42.:10:45.

new. This has not just come out. It was set weeks and months ago. If we

:10:46.:10:49.

were paying attention will stop he could still do that? -- if we were

:10:50.:10:55.

paying attention, he could still do that? Yes, but I do not want to go

:10:56.:11:02.

to another rough friend. But it would be, this is the deal we

:11:03.:11:06.

managed to strike, something different from what David Cameron

:11:07.:11:10.

got, do you like it? Why on earth did anyone seriously think Europe

:11:11.:11:13.

would be OK with that? They do not want other people having referendums

:11:14.:11:18.

to leave, do they? They have to set an example for us that if you were

:11:19.:11:21.

there you would be thinking, we must now make an example. And the sounds

:11:22.:11:25.

coming from Angela Merkel, suggesting there was the possibility

:11:26.:11:29.

of renegotiation, something new... But the message from the EU is, we

:11:30.:11:35.

want you out now and fast. The Angela Merkel thing was actually a

:11:36.:11:38.

slight mistranslation because the word in German has two meanings and

:11:39.:11:43.

it was not... It was more, we need to speak about what happens now

:11:44.:11:47.

rather than actually, let's renegotiate. But she has not been in

:11:48.:11:51.

so much of a rush as people like Jean-Claude Blanc, has she? No. --

:11:52.:12:00.

Jean-Claude Juncker. The Metro. The lights are on but nobody's home. We

:12:01.:12:03.

could not conjure these people up during the campaign and now... The

:12:04.:12:07.

only people we had today was Iain Duncan Smith, and, yes, I think it a

:12:08.:12:13.

lot of people would rather like he had retained his quiet status, the

:12:14.:12:16.

quiet man. I think this is quite a good summary really. If you look at

:12:17.:12:24.

those headlines, a third of the Shadow Cabinet quitting, Scots

:12:25.:12:27.

wanting to stay in the EU, 3 million signing a petition for another

:12:28.:12:29.

referendum and Brussels wants us to leave now. Each of those is a

:12:30.:12:33.

massive front-page story on any other day! In their own right. Let's

:12:34.:12:38.

look at this, three million and the petition. There is a suggestion some

:12:39.:12:41.

of those signatures are fake, they have come from abroad, generated by

:12:42.:12:47.

some kid of... Supposedly Lotzen from the Vatican City, more than the

:12:48.:12:51.

people who live there, or whatever -- lots of them are from. At the

:12:52.:12:54.

same time a lot of people are incredibly angry at this result. But

:12:55.:12:59.

it will not make any difference. It will not. At BuzzFeed, we scrape the

:13:00.:13:04.

data from the constituencies where people were signing and we were told

:13:05.:13:08.

18% of people in Bristol signed it but about 1% of people in Walsall

:13:09.:13:12.

signed it. Congratulations, 3 million signatures all from the

:13:13.:13:17.

exact same places who voted solidly for Remain. We just created on a

:13:18.:13:22.

smaller scale the referendum vote. But Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland

:13:23.:13:26.

fighting to stay in the EU. The way that power is devolved to Edinburgh,

:13:27.:13:31.

to Holyrood, and how it is wrapped up in EU law, that could mean it

:13:32.:13:36.

would be within Nicola Sturgeon's gift to make it very difficult for

:13:37.:13:42.

us to... She can make it difficult and object but I think on balance

:13:43.:13:45.

there is very little they can do. Even the Conservatives in Scotland

:13:46.:13:48.

are saying this is a slightly nonsense argument, that there is

:13:49.:13:51.

very little that can be done to stop the rest of the UK going. Scotland

:13:52.:13:55.

can object, it can feel to endorse the plan, but ultimately if the UK

:13:56.:13:59.

wants to go for it, you know, and there is a moral imperative behind

:14:00.:14:06.

it. It is very hard to stop the rest of the UK going. But she says she

:14:07.:14:09.

has to do the best by Scotland to she might be tempted to try if it

:14:10.:14:12.

prevents an immediate breaking of the United Kingdom? I think you are

:14:13.:14:16.

right on this. She will just find there are too many stumbling blocks

:14:17.:14:20.

to that. She might try in order to show she has done her best. Perhaps

:14:21.:14:25.

that is it as well. Then she can prove she has done her best and

:14:26.:14:29.

there is another reason for a second referendum. But constitutionally it

:14:30.:14:34.

is fascinating, isn't it? And very complex. These things were never

:14:35.:14:38.

supposed to be unpacked, that is the problem. And Gibraltar, no one quite

:14:39.:14:42.

thought about that, or Northern Ireland, for that matter! We need a

:14:43.:14:46.

lot! Or two! The Financial Times. The UK confronts new reality -- we

:14:47.:14:54.

need a lawyer. Then we start looking at how difficult life may be. He no

:14:55.:14:58.

longer wants to be the commissioner and is looking at the financial

:14:59.:15:02.

services, says decisions will be made in terms of the euro rather

:15:03.:15:06.

than any other currency, and not in London. He says that. Absolutely,

:15:07.:15:13.

and the waiter financial Times has put its first line, the stark

:15:14.:15:16.

reality of crumbling influence on the world stage. Yes, pretty

:15:17.:15:21.

sobering. Boris Johnson I'm sure we'll object, but for the Financial

:15:22.:15:25.

Times to read on that, they were very pro-case-2-mac during the

:15:26.:15:28.

campaign. They are not messing about when they say that. -- pro Remain.

:15:29.:15:33.

Britain is really going to struggle to negotiate new deals, John Kerry

:15:34.:15:39.

flying in. Also this leadership battle within the Tories running on

:15:40.:15:42.

for months and months well this is going on. It will be interesting

:15:43.:15:47.

times. And Erik Nielsen, the columnist, whatever influence the UK

:15:48.:15:51.

had in the EU is completely gone. There was a meeting on Tuesday,

:15:52.:15:55.

Wednesday, and we can turn up the first day but not the second. That

:15:56.:15:58.

is the first time in 40 odd years that has happened. Yes. You know,

:15:59.:16:04.

when Greece was in crisis the German banks have a lot of money invested

:16:05.:16:07.

there and they had to do something to keep it within the EU, and in

:16:08.:16:10.

terms of our leveraged only thing we have now is when we invoke Article

:16:11.:16:15.

50. That is not only thing we can do. We can hold off on that but

:16:16.:16:18.

basically they can set the terms to a certain extent of what we are

:16:19.:16:22.

allowed to do and how much of the Single Market we can access, and

:16:23.:16:26.

what deal we will get. Even the Telegraph, a fantastic column there

:16:27.:16:30.

by the Brussels correspondent today in which he went through and set

:16:31.:16:34.

out, even for a Eurosceptic paper, just saying how brittle these

:16:35.:16:39.

negotiations will be because the EU is not in a mood to let us get away

:16:40.:16:42.

with something like that -- to brutal-mac these negotiations will

:16:43.:16:47.

be. That is pleasing to people thinking, you know, the EU doesn't

:16:48.:16:50.

like that anyway, we voted out, this is what we wanted. That will

:16:51.:16:53.

probably be the assessment back here. We will speak again at have

:16:54.:17:00.

passed 11. Have some coffee. It is prideful but not great! Rosamund and

:17:01.:17:06.

Jim will be back at have passed 11 with us to have another look at the

:17:07.:17:12.

front pages. -- have passed 11. Coming up, the weather.

:17:13.:17:17.

Hello. Good evening. Let's look at the satellite secrets to see what

:17:18.:17:23.

has been happening today.
