He swept aside Australian John Millman in straight | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
With me are Anne Ashworth, Assistant Editor of The Times, | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
and Kevin Schofield, Editor of Politics Home. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
The Observer leads with the Conservative leadership race, | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
saying the final choice will be between Home Secretary Theresa May | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
The Sunday Express front page is devoted to the Queen's call | :00:33. | :00:42. | |
for calm reflection in the wake of the vote to leave | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
The Sunday Telegraph has with an interview with Conservative | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
leadership candidate Andrea Leadsom, in which she claims she can be | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
The Mail on Sunday headline accuses Andrea Leadsom of hypocrisy | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
The Sunday Post claims that medics are planning to emigrate as a result | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
The Sunday Mirror front page has a tribute to Caroline Aherne, | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
the comedy actress and writer who passed away earlier today. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
And it's back to the race to be the new Prime Minister on the front | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
of the Sunday Times, the paper says senior Tories | :01:17. | :01:27. | |
are uniting to stop Theresa May being installed in the top job | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Let's begin with the Sunday Times. This is an interesting suggestion | :01:31. | :01:41. | |
that although we have only had elections that involve a party | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
members, this time we might not have won. There seems to be a bit of a | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
clamour for Theresa May to be installed as the new Tory leader and | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
Prime Minister, and clearly that was to happen, if she was appointed by | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
acclamation, then it could happen quite quickly and David Cameron | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
would be out the door. But there is a backlash to that idea, despite the | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
fact that she seems to have by far the most support among the | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
Parliamentary Conservative party, her rivals unsurprisingly are saying | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
no, we won't step aside, there must be a contest. Primarily there needs | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
to be a contest that when Mrs May, who was a remain Sam Payne, and a | :02:26. | :02:35. | |
Brexit photo, either Andrea Leadsom or Michael Gove. It is an | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
extraordinary drama, and they say they don't want a rerun of how | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
Gordon Brown replaced Tony Blair in 2007. The consequences weren't good. | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
So they want to see it done in full and fair contest. If Mrs May is | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
anointed as the leader they are even talking about a judicial review. Has | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
that ever happened before in the Conservative party or any other? Not | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
as far as I can remember, but nothing would surprise you about how | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
the world is behaving right now. There are plenty of judicial | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
reviews, particularly on Labour, whether Jeremy Corbyn would be on | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
the shortlist of candidates if there was a challenge. I'm sure we will | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
get to that eventually, but as I say, unsurprisingly Andrea Leadsom | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
is saying, I will not stand aside, and Michael Gove likewise. He is | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
insistent that the next leader of the Tory party must be someone who | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
campaign for Brexit. If it was a remain, they would not have the | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
moral authority, he says. The country has spoken, they want to | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
leave, and it would make sense for somebody who believes in it to lead | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
the country. That would be down to Michael Gove, Liam Fox and Andrea | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
Leadsom. Theresa May seems to be likely to be the figure who could | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
unite the party, is that not in the greater interest of the Conservative | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
party, to have a central figure with huge experience in government, and | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
who also has that popular touch? Remember Theresa May and | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Hillsborough? You could see the woman really felt for those | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
families. She might be quite a price, and I think they would be | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
wrong to underestimate her. Let's talk about the other candidate we | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
have been talking about. We have done quite a lot of stories about | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
Andrea Leadsom. She says she might be the new Thatcher. Is that what | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
the Tories want? Maybe, they do have a vast yearning, don't they? Even | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
perhaps the ones who don't remember her in government. Andrea Leadsom is | :04:56. | :05:05. | |
saying, this is how I need to present myself. I am glamorous, | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
kind, but I have a steely determination. It is the idea of the | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
elegant woman who can bring consensus that knows exactly when to | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
play it tough. It is all a little bit... Are not necessarily | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
convinced. Remember it was not that long ago that Lady Thatcher was a | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
booby -- bogey woman in the Conservative party. Presumably this | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
is plain to the activists, isn't it? If it does go beyond the MPs. It is | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
a clear pitch to the grassroots. Presumably they won't have some of | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
the activists that Theresa May... That they were regarded as the nasty | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
party. She is not universally popular out in the country as far as | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
the membership is concerned. There was certainly a belief up until this | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
week that if Boris Johnson had gotten down to the last two he would | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
have beaten Theresa May quite easily among the activists. Clearly most | :06:16. | :06:23. | |
activists would have voted for an insert so they seem more likely to | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
support a lead supporting candidate. People in offices can feel a certain | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
rivalry, but there is nothing like the competitiveness and the | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
viciousness between people in Parliament. I think a lot of people, | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
if we say we are a nation that feels very separate from the Westminster | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
machine, is this not going to exacerbate those feelings of total | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
alienation from the political scene? Look how badly they are behaving! We | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
hear as journalists around the corridors of power, we hear them | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
back biting, as it is usually done behind closed doors. This is the | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
first time we have seen it just out there. And it was similar during the | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
televised Brexit debate, with some of Amber Rudd's lines against Boris | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
Johnson think pretty below the belt. They were party colleagues, but on | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
this issue they were really divided. They said repeatedly that won't have | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
referendums out of the way would come together, but it has been | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
anything but. It is getting nasty by the day. Speaking of which, let's | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
move on to the Mail on Sunday, because just as the Telegraph inks | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
Andrea Leadsom will be the new Thatcher, the Mail on Sunday has | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
found that she may not necessarily found that she may not necessarily | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
be the dyed in the wool eurosceptic has which she has betrayed herself. | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
They found that she wants said, I'm going to nail my colours to the | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
mast. I don't think the UK should leave the EU, I think it would be a | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
disaster for our economy and would lead to a decade of economic and | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
political uncertainty. That is a fairly forthright support of | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
Britain... That was just three years ago. When we knew the referendum was | :08:23. | :08:32. | |
coming. I said earlier the Remain Campaign should... She was not the | :08:33. | :08:42. | |
person of political substance. It is only in the past week that anybody | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
knows who she is. Some would say if you went out into the country a lot | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
of people still wouldn't know who she is. She is going to be doing the | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
rounds tomorrow. I think she is on one of the Sunday shows. I think she | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
might be on Andrew Marr's show. She will have a good time there. If she | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
is watching the paper review, at least she can be tipped off and will | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
be able to work on her story. Michael Gove is on the front of the | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
Mail on Sunday. His sister says he is a political psychopath. She was | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
full remain, but there is family loyalty, which is much stronger than | :09:26. | :09:35. | |
political loyalty. The Sun, Boris won't answer my calls. I can't say I | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
blame him, given what has happened. It says here, I have tried to ring | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
him and explain what I did, but he is not picking up his phone. Kenny | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
bee that surprised? He admits in an interview that on Wednesday night, | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
the night before the Dagar happened, he was still trying to drum up | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
support for Boris's launch, which was the following day. He says, and | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
I don't quite believe this, that they were at a Tory sum of all the | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
night before and a few things went on that made him realise actually | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
Boris isn't the man to lead the country. He went home and slept on | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
it and woke up in the morning spoke to his wife and said that is what | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
I'm going do. Then by 9am he had not only declared that basically | :10:33. | :10:41. | |
eviscerated Boris Johnson. You can't really expect him to pick up the | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
phone after that. I'm going to say something in Michael Gove's support. | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
He is an incredibly polite man. He has good manners and Isla is | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
courteous. He would be capable of writing a very strong 5000 word | :10:55. | :11:02. | |
piece on why he should stand, very quickly and very... He made quite an | :11:03. | :11:11. | |
emotional speech. Very personal. I think Boris is in the middle of a | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
dark night of his soul. He is sitting surrounded by the debris of | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
his career. I'm sure he is not necessarily talking to anybody, I | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
hope he is having some nice snacks, maybe watching the tennis, and is | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
taking time out. I think the last thing on his mind is speaking to | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
Michael Gove. Is intriguing to think that we were sitting here a week ago | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
reviewing papers that were talking about Boris throwing his hat in the | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
ring and being the leading light, and the likely winner. And it has | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
gone, it has vanished. The speed at which political development has | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
moved this past week has been astonishing. I am going to jump to | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
the Sunday Mirror, because speaking of sleeping a long time in politics, | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
copyright Harold Wilson, who was born 100 years ago today, and | :12:04. | :12:13. | |
someone who tends to be forgotten. It is hard to believe that Harold | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
Wilson would have ever had quite the experience Jeremy Corbyn is in | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
during this week. It is incredible. I doubt if there has ever been | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
Labour leader who having lost the support of three quarters of his MPs | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
had continued to plough on. It is incredible really. McDonald in 1921, | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
who had 14 MPs. He had just announced he was going off to form a | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
coalition with the Tories, so we might call those special | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
circumstances. Something I happened to look up this week, I was | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
thinking, there must be a precedent. It was the only one I could find. | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
Unimpressed, and surprised there was a precedent. There is something like | :13:05. | :13:15. | |
62 vacancies in his Shadow Cabinet, and there is no one left. I am led | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
to believe that now the rebels have stopped hanging on for him to | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
resign, rather than wanting to directly challenge. He has come out | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
fighting. What is the thrust of it? He is going to reach out. He is | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
going to try to bring unity to his party. I wonder whether the fishes | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
that too deep, and when we saw those people who had placed their trust in | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
him, their evident sadness at how badly wrong it had gone, and they | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
want to be a party in power. Nobody is in Parliament to be a protest | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
group. You want to be a party able to take power and assume it, and | :14:01. | :14:09. | |
currently, dare I say, the Tories will be hoping this continues then | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
they will have a snap election and there will be another Tory | :14:14. | :14:14. | |
government. Sports pages in the Telegraph, will | :14:15. | :14:24. | |
have to rattle through them. Do the England football story for us first. | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
I am declaring an interest in being Scottish, so why not in a great | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
position to criticise England, but the FA chief executive has said the | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
next manager will be paid by results. You can have a little | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
giggle at that, he might not get paid very well. You can see why. | :14:43. | :14:53. | |
Fabio Capello, Roy Hodgson is on a small fortune, they have spent | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
millions and billions to achieve nothing. When you get there, Wales | :14:57. | :15:08. | |
have obviously... Why would you bother to want to be in England | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
manager? There are an awful lot of people who have already made a great | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
deal of money out of football and what an amazing victory that would | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
be to lead the England team. But are they going to get this guy from | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
Wales? Isn't he a shoe in for the job? I don't see him being a Welsh | :15:24. | :15:33. | |
manager or going to England. Also, there is another interesting | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
question here, does this apply anywhere else? As any other person | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
in these kinds of jobs get paid on results? You get no basic whatsoever | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
and you just hope to win? It used to be before there was so much money in | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
football that the players remind on them -- relied on their win bonuses. | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
You could argue it was better than. Now they are on ?100,000 per week | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
regardless of whether they win, lose or draw. One man who has had a very | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
rotten day. It is the twilight of the gods, isn't it? No Djokovic at | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
Wimbledon, no Boris in number ten. What next? All the certainties have | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
gone! Leicester winning the Premier League. 2016 has been the year of | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
the upset. Even the upset in the football tonight. I've always | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
thought the Germans couldn't win it against the Italians, look what | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
happens! The Germans also missed a few penalties tonight, and they | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
haven't missed penalty since 1982. Everything we thought we believe and | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
new. Is it all down to Brexit? Is it that we are all... All about in | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
innate years are going, and because everyone else is like that we don't | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
notice it, but everything has been upset. Everything will be blamed on | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
Brexit. Everything that goes wrong will be blamed on that for at least | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
another 18 months, I would say. A terrifying prospect. I will remember | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
that when I drop or later a glass at home over the weekend. Thank you | :17:19. | :17:19. | |
both. | :17:20. | :17:31. |
