we have seen Jeremy not do that job. He has been hiding behind a door, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
not talking to his members of Parliament. | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
With me are the Political Correspondent for the Guardian, | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
Rowena Mason, and the Westminster Correspondent for the South West | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
There's really only one show in town: The anointing | :00:26. | :00:39. | |
Theresa May's 'fast track' to Number 10. | :00:40. | :00:48. | |
The Mail describes the imminent 'coronation' of Theresa | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
and features a smiling picture of the soon-to-be PM and her husband | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
The Mirror calls for an early general election to give Mrs May | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
The Times looks ahead to who could be | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
is the Prime Minister who can reunite the Tory party. | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
The Express carries a warning to Theresa May | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
The FT leads with Mrs May promising to make | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
Brexit a successAnd the Metro describes a day of | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
We are going to start with the Daily Mail, who backed Theresa May. As you | :01:24. | :01:47. | |
say, they backed her, it was only last week... It feels like a long | :01:48. | :01:59. | |
time ago. She was a supporter of Remain and she is also a hard line | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
on immigration which appeals to the Daily Mail and I am sure they will | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
continue to get behind as long as she does what she said today and | :02:10. | :02:19. | |
that is deliver on Brexit. He caught on the eyeball, there, but an | :02:20. | :02:29. | |
affectionate kiss in the photograph. There will be some people | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
disappointed? Absolutely. It could come back to haunt her because she | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
has been given this job because her opponent dropped out and nobody has | :02:43. | :02:54. | |
voted for her apart from 100 99 MPs. This is a different set of policies | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
from what we voted on a year ago? I think it will be if she follows on | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
from the speech today. She made a fascinating speech this morning. If | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
you closed your eyes and imagined a lower tone it could have been Ed | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
Miliband... Of really? It was a fascinating, powerful speech calling | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
to reform, irresponsible big business, talking about putting | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
workers on boards, intervening in the energy markets. It was a real | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
eye-opener because the issue is whether she will get to do all of | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
these things because they seem to be dominated one subject. In The | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
Guardian, you are picking up that it Guardian, you are picking up that it | :03:51. | :03:59. | |
has cut short what should have been a nine week contest. People have not | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
heard what she is about. We know she is the Home Secretary and we know | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
what she stands on on Brexit but do we know about what she stands for on | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
the economy? She seems to have parked on Labour 's lawn and taken a | :04:20. | :04:29. | |
more centric position. But we do not know the specifics in terms of | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
policy and she has given hints here and there, she wants to ditch the | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
target of getting a surplus by George Osborne, it seems, but we do | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
not know how much planning has been going on behind the scenes. She does | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
not have to abide by the rules. Should not set it. But she would | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
have to have an Autumn statement which would reset the country's | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
fiscal position. It will look different... A lot worse than | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
earlier this year. She was not able to achieve the surplus at whatever | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
the figures are, they agreed, and she may be able to make a position | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
to make some difficult decisions. -- grim. Is Brexit overshadowing | :05:23. | :05:32. | |
everything else? I think she's heading for what possibly a tough | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
time. She will have the poison pill of having to push the button on | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
Brexit, Article 50, which triggers that the UK leaving the EU and there | :05:43. | :05:52. | |
is a possibility of market jitters. You believe the Remain side, then | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
job losses, companies pulling out so that will be a tricky moment for her | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
and how she prepares for that moment and how she tries to calm fears and | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
make people feel better... We heard from the deputy chair there was a | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
compassionate conservative with a small sea, she would hope to be | :06:15. | :06:23. | |
something akin to that - can she do that with all the shackles she is | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
facing? All politicians, all prime ministers are going to call | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
themselves compassionate politicians. They promise to be a | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
one nation Prime Minister but the reality can be very different | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
because many economists tell us we could very well be in recession next | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
year. It depends on what deal we can achieve when dealing with the | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
European Union. We could be a significantly poorer country. It is | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
not matter what intentions you set out with but they may be swept away | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
by the economic situation. The front page of The Sun, quite a punchy | :07:05. | :07:14. | |
front page. All those that would be leaders. I wonder how many of those | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
will feature in her cabinet? We do not know and she will be spending a | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
lot of time in the next couple of days - she probably has the week to | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
come up with the Cabinet she thinks will be able to deliver Brexit. | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
People who she trusts and people on the Brexit side so that she shows | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
that the party and the country that she will be delivering on what they | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
have asked her to do and some of the key Brexit people, Liam Fox, Chris | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
Grayling, to people who have been introducing campaign speeches for | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
her. You would expect them to feature. She can reunite the Tories, | :08:03. | :08:12. | |
but there are some angry about the way Angela was treated... Just to go | :08:13. | :08:23. | |
back on what The Sun has predicted their readers identify with, not the | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
fact that she has been Home Secretary and policies on | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
immigration are the shoes that she wears. The same is kitten heel, | :08:32. | :08:40. | |
leopardprint shoes. They were quick to label her the new Maggie | :08:41. | :08:58. | |
Thatcher. Can she reunite the party? We are going to move on and took | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
about how quickly she may press ahead to triggering Article 50 and I | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
think that will be crucial in terms of uniting the party. Many of her | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
MPs and party members will want her to press ahead very fast on the | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
decision the country took in the referendum. Theresa May's stated | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
position is to move slowly and to start negotiations next year. In The | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
Express underlying that. Make sure you get us out of the EU. This is a | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
warning from the Daily Express. The Daily Express crusade - they are | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
going to try and make sure she delivers what she has promised and | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
that Brexit means Brexit. There are different ideas even within the | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
Brexit have our how to do it. There will be hurdles along the way and | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
she will have to negotiate between all these different points of view. | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
From the soft Brexit to the hardline who want to see Article 50 triggered | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
straightaway so that there is no lag or retreating from what they see as | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
the key things and number one on that list is ending freedom of | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
movement. And then you go into issues as to whether you can and | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
freedom of movement and still be part of the single market. She was | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
agreeing that if we were to retain access to the single market, there | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
freedom of movement and you can bet freedom of movement and you can bet | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
your life that those sorts of comments will be studied very | :10:55. | :11:03. | |
closely. All of that may fall into the camp on the new Brexit | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
portfolio. We all this talk about the top three jobs - treasury and | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
foreign and I wonder if Brexit is the one they all want. I do not know | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
what that new role is going to be called- negotiator? A couple of | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
people I mentioned earlier are people I mentioned earlier are | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
possible contenders for that... Of the Times go into who they think | :11:35. | :11:44. | |
might be that person. Two of the key people muted, Chris railing and | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
David Davis and potentially Liam Fox. What the Times on to say is | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
they have interesting intelligence about Boris Johnson was said by | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
friends to expect little from Theresa May so he's not waiting by | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
the phone but it is still possible she could for him something... I | :12:06. | :12:14. | |
think Michael Gove is to expect even less. Very frosty between him and | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
Theresa May. Philip had been is tipped to take over as the | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
Chancellor. -- Philip Hammond. He is someone who is spoken about the | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
dangers of leaving the single market. Chris Grayling went | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
straightaway to Theresa May and some people were surprised. Maybe he will | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
cash in on that result? There will be some people expecting rewards and | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
although Theresa May said clearly she was not promising jobs to | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
anybody, some people were very quick to see which way the wind was | :12:55. | :13:03. | |
blowing. Some people threw their weight behind Theresa May other than | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
people like Doris Johnson. Let's look at the shoe-ins, the foot | :13:07. | :13:25. | |
in the doors and the lost souls. Can we talk about the lost souls, Nicky | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
Morgan who didn't run for the leadership, and John Whittingdale, | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
the Culture Secretary. Patrick McLoughlan is interesting as well. | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
Talking about key decisions away from Brexit, transport department is | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
one of those, with the long-awaited decision on airport expansion. I | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
don't know where she sets on Heathrow and HS2. That is very | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
important with Southern conservative MPs. Although the legislation has | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
gone through and the work has started, it will be a significantly | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
poorer country in future if that is the case, then HS2... Down the | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
bottom there is a basket of goodies waiting for her when she gets into | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
Number Ten, Trident Mac, Heathrow runway, Scottish independence, the | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
G20 meeting, snap election -- Trident. Trident is interesting | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
because one of the first things all incoming Prime ministers have to do | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
is sign a letter of last resort which is the instruction to the | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
commanders of the Trident subs, hiding under the Atlantic, about | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
what to do if there is a nuclear war. Britain has been devastated, | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
perhaps, in these circumstances, they have to find nuclear weapons to | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
carry on fighting the enemy, or head to Australia. When Tony Blair was | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
shown this letter and was instructed to sign it, he went white. Would she | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
go white? She has been in COBRA and some of the big security meeting. | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
All candidates she has the experience. She will have seen some | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
hair raising things as Home Secretary when it comes to terrorist | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
attacks. It is still quite a moment. Nuclear devastation on another | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
country. Trident is the easy one. She knows how the party will vote. | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
She will use that in her first week of prime ministership as a method of | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
showing that the Conservative Party are united on this issue, whereas | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
Labour are divided. Looking at the shoe ins, Philip Hammond for | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
Chancellor they say, Liam Fox could be on his way to Brexit secretary | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
role, and David Davis as you say back in government. Chris Grayling | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
and David Davis have perhaps been frustrated they didn't get the roles | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
they might have wanted with David Cameron and now they might be on the | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
rise. David Davis is suing Theresa May's department currently over the | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
snoopers charter, the temporary charter, surveillance, so if he gets | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
the top job despite suing the Home Office... Nothing is impossible. The | :16:12. | :16:21. | |
timetable, Friday for the big jobs? They are being tightlipped about | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
when Theresa May will announce her Cabinet. She is meant to be working | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
in her office tomorrow. And having a think. Yes, because she is already | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
doing their job at the moment. This doing their job at the moment. This | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
is a formality. If she has it in place at the end of the week she is | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
doing all right. The Daily Mirror, holding her to the words in 2007 | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
when Gordon Brown took power, the only election, bring it on. She said | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
he needed a mandate and now they say so do you. It is interesting. Well, | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
they might call it hypocrisy. This is what she called for. These are | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
the standards that she held Gordon Brown to. She is planning to go on | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
and be the Prime Minister for four years, until 2020, and she won't be | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
voted in by the country. On the other hand, she would find it | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
difficult to get the support from Tory MPs to hold a snap election. | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
They only fought one about a year ago. A lot of people have just one | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
marginal seats who wouldn't be used about having to fight another one. | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
-- won. We have had mayhem galore and the market just wants stability. | :17:41. | :17:48. | |
Do we want snap elections? I am sure the markets won't want it. We | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
suggested it seems surprising that a Labour supporting paper in the Daily | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
Mirror is saving bring it the early election. That would point to the | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
last thing the party needs and could do well in. Obviously, later this | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
week, events might determine that. She says she will not have an early | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
election. That seems definite. If you do, you need to rule it out | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
first. The thing that cost Gordon Brown in 2007 wasn't that he didn't | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
hold the early election after becoming Prime Minister and getting | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
a mandate, he tantalised us that he was going to and then he pulled out | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
for some ridiculous reason and then he looked like a chicken. Theresa | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
May has made a sensible position of ruling it out at the moment. I am | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
sure she is keeping her options open. A quick look inside the Mail. | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
Car crash campaign destroys Andrea, accidental candidate. They point to | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
the Times' story on the weekend, saying she was hard done by. It was | :18:56. | :19:04. | |
all a bit of a card -- car crash. She did quite a good concessional | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
speech. The reasons she gave a not the ones she had given in these less | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
than satisfactory interviews over the last few days. She said she | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
withdrew because the country needed stability. Is it the real story? No. | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
If you believe that, you believe anything. I read the Telegraph | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
interview this morning and it was almost like hands in front of my | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
eyes. She talked about how it was a shattering experience over the last | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
few days and she felt under attack. The interviewer asked when she had | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
last cried and she said 20 minutes ago. I read all of that and wondered | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
how on earth she could carry on. One Tory MP was brutal today and said | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
that whatever happened over the weekend, if she felt under attack, | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
that is nothing compared to talking to President Putin. Yes. There is | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
the echo of the campaign from Boris Johnson. The telephone calls, the | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
e-mails, not doing what she was supposed to do, what campaigners | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
were supposed to have done, it shows how difficult it can be to run a | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
campaign. I think so, and she hadn't really run anything like this | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
before. And don't forget, when she actually threw her hat in the ring | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
to be leader, Boris Johnson was in the race. When she put the | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
nomination papers in Boris Johnson was running and Michael Gove hadn't | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
declared. She would have thought that she was going to come third or | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
fourth and then get a nice Cabinet job in Boris Johnson's premiership. | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
It didn't quite work out as she had expected. I saw at hoik today which | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
had confirmed to her followers that it was all over and two... I assumed | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
there won't be a -- tweet. Well, you never know. What about David Cameron | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
harming his way into Number Ten this evening? -- humming. Is said he | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
would like to do what John Major did, take a seat in the Lords and | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
stay in politics somehow. I think we know very little about what he wants | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
to do next. He has been pressed about it once and he is saying he | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
will definitely stay until 2020, he will be a backbench MP and then | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
after that it is sort of up for grabs. He definitely doesn't want to | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
do what Tony Blair did, just to flee immediately. Make loads of money but | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
see your reputation trashed. He doesn't want to do that, he wants to | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
carry on until the next election. After that, who knows? Apparently, | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
he might move his children. It says she can now be educated privately | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
without creating a fuss. I am scooting on because I want to get to | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
Labour in a while. Weekly, before we do that, the markets get to an 11 | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
month high, the 250 is up, the FTSE 100 is up, so, where is the | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
Market looked relieved after the Market looked relieved after the | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
Prime Minister has been put in place but don't forget the FTSE 100 is in | :22:24. | :22:37. | |
dollars and not pounds. -- markets look relieved. Billions of pounds | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
have still been wiped off the stock markets in the referendum result. | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
Still, billions have been written off. Maybe there is a rally. There | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
might be joy for those who haven't bought euros yet, in that the pound | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
rose slightly. 1.46, wasn't it? OK, let's turn to Labour. It is | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
extraordinary, we have gone through the papers and Labour isn't on the | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
front pages of anywhere, really, and yet they have real problems. It has | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
little reference to Angela Eagle, former Shadow Business Secretary, | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
who has launched a formal challenge against Jeremy Corbyn. She failed to | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
make waves today. Unfortunately, she was announcing a leadership bid and | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
giving the speech at the time Andrea giving the speech at the time Andrea | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
Leadsom pulled out all the Tory race. She has been squeezed in terms | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
of the space. There was a moment on Twitter which did the rounds, it | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
went viral when she went, where is the BBC, Robert Peston, she has been | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
overshadowed somewhat? Jeremy Corbyn will be happy about that. The real | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
thing is tomorrow when the executive committee will determine whether | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
Jeremy Corbyn is on the ballot without the support of... How does | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
it work? How many are on the committee who will decide? I think | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
it is 33. Is it a secret ballot? That we don't know. There are fears | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
among Corbyn supporters that it could be a secret ballot. We don't | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
quite know at the moment. It looks like there are more Corbyn | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
supporters on the NEC than non- Corbyn supporters but there are | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
rumours people are on holiday at the moment. Some people want to delay | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
it. It really is up for grabs, potentially. Whatever the decision, | :24:37. | :24:44. | |
it mightn't be the end of it, because if Jeremy Corbyn is excluded | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
or isn't automatically on the ballot, he said he would go to court | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
to challenge it. Take a step back, let's remind people that the | :24:53. | :24:54. | |
question is whether MPs would have to renominate him or whether as the | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
incumbent he would automatically be on the ballot. It seems like a | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
really technical point. It hasn't been done before. There is a | :25:05. | :25:14. | |
president, when Neil can -- Kinnock gathered votes. The income it | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
wouldn't necessarily have to. There are differing legal opinions about | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
it. -- incumbent. Supporters say he shouldn't have together these | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
nominations. His opponents say that he should. Even some opponents, some | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
rebels, they have said that he should automatically be allowed onto | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
the ballot because if it doesn't happen it could look like a stitch | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
up, and very unfair. A lot of Labour members would be very unhappy if he | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
wasn't given a fair fight. Is Angela Eagle the stalking horse? Has she | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
been put up to bring him to the ballot, or is she serious? And how | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
convincing is what she said today? She is not a stalking horse, she is | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
certainly serious, and she will be in the contest. Whether she is the | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
only person in the contest depends on what happens to... If she isn't | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
on the ballot, there are other candidates. I imagine others would | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
enter the race and it wouldn't be a coronation for her if Jeremy Corbyn | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
goes. If he is in the race there is a strong argument, just having one | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
candidate... If he isn't, others could come in, is that Cooper | :26:31. | :26:39. | |
perhaps. -- Yvette. And others as well, I am sure. We will watch it | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
closely. Plenty more to come, no doubt. That is it for The Papers. | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
The weather is coming up next. | :26:47. | :26:52. |
