Lets on Sunday Telegraph. What many people will be struck by is the

front-page picture of what looks like the schoolboy next door, just a

kid. Yes, he does and the majority of the people that he killed were

also just kids. This does seem to be quite targeted by him. They are now

revealing the fact that he did send out messages on Facebook, come to

McDonald's, I will get you free stuff. He set up a Facebook account

and lured victims to their deaths. It seems most tragically they were

very young, teenagers, as he was, a boy with severe problems. He went on

a rampage. It is not linked as we now know to any terrorist

organisation or any right wing faction or any of that, just a boy

who was deeply disturbed, had been bullied at school, he lured victims

and then shot them. That goes to the heart of how we can all processes.

We saw what happened in Nice, Orlando, apparently he was

fascinated by Anders Brodick, the right wing person in Norway who

killed so people. -- Breivik. It strikes terror, but it does not seem

to be motivated. If relief is the right word, that is what it was. You

think it will be organised by Islamic State and then there is the

ripple effect, the polarisation in society, the backlash and so on.

Hopefully that will not happen in this case. It does seem very much

like this teenager had all the warning signs that something was

deeply wrong. He was reading a book called white kids kill? It was by an

American psychologist Doctor Peter Langman, he had studied mass killers

in the US to try to unravel what was going on. Columbine for example. He

had managed to get hold of a Glock nine pistol, 300 rounds of

ammunition. All of this happening quietly in his bedroom while living

in his parents house. I do wonder because at the moment we seem to be

living in such an unstable world and these events have multiplied

recently, the one that you listed. -- ones. People in his

psychologically disturbed state, on the edge of doing something like

that or not, perhaps hearing about these other attacks that may be

politically motivated could spark off their ability to do it. We are

living in a really angry world and people like that are affected by

those events. For better or for worse. Maybe hearing about Nice and

Orlando, maybe that actually gave slightly more motivation to carry

out the attack. I don't know, I am just wondering if there is a link.

It could suggest a copycat killing. The timing was significant, it was

the fifth anniversary of Breivik's killings in Norway. The Daily Mail

has got how low can he go on the front page? Workers paid a pitiful

30p an hour to make T-shirts that fund the Corbin campaign -- Jeremy

Corbyn campaign. I thought actually more interestingly, it has a former

MP, a former adviser to Gordon Brown saying if Jeremy Corbyn stays,

making win a snap election if he has the bottle for it. Gordon Brown

bottled out of a snap election apparently. What you make of this?

It is Jeremy Corbyn bashing and he is very easy to bash. This is

momentum that organise the T-shirts. If you are going to organise a

political campaign, you need to be very careful about the source of the

T-shirts. It appears they have not been careful and they were made in

sweatshops. People were paid a ridiculously low amount of money to

make them and if you are a socialist campaigner, then that is a very

wrong thing to do. You might be more careful about that. I cannot believe

that. There are so many targets to go for here. Is it an MI5

conspiracy? Is it the establishment ganging up against T-shirt buyers?

Just, as I say, he is such an easy target. I do not think you need to

be as organised as having an MI5 conspiracy, anybody is able to do

it. What you make of this? My American friend was quoting a Will

Rogers joke, are you a member of an organised political party? No sir, I

am a Democrat. But this is the official opposition. A degree of

disorganisation is putting it rather diplomatically, the Labour Party is

imploding and it is unclear what will happen next. There is this

column here by Michael Duca who says it's Theresa May goes ahead and

causes nap election assuming the Jeremy Corbyn stays as Labour

leader, then we are looking at a Tory 1-party state add-in from item.

That is the risk. I am not a member of the Labour Party, I have friends

who are in despair who are long-term members and a think they are not

creating a credible opposition. A slap election, Theresa May could go

first collection, presumably it would be a landslide with the lack

of opposition that we have, but actually Labour are doing it for

themselves. They are destroying themselves already, it does not need

a snap election. Apart from would lose a lot of seats at Parliament.

We could wait a few years. I don't know if your friends in the Labour

Party say that some of the people behind this do not care about

Parliament. They think there is... I do not know how that works, the

grassroots movement will do something for the country without

going through Parliament. One has to ask what that will be. It is painful

to have to say it, because in some ways when Jeremy Corbyn appeared on

the scene back in September, I was among those who was prepared to give

him the benefit of the doubt. I like a lot of what he said over many

years. It is just impossible to really countenance the situation we

have at the moment where he has completely lost the confidence of

the Parliamentary party, he seems to be bunkered down, surrounded by a

group of hard-core left-wing advisers. They are presiding over

this increasingly poisonous climate of intimidation, misogyny,

anti-Semitism. We had a brick thrown through a MPs window last week, this

is a real crisis. It seems to be at an impasse, there does not seem to

be an obvious way out for those MPs who want an electable Labour Party

that does represent the millions of people who have suffered under

austerities and through other Conservative policies. You wonder

where rape threats against female Labour MPs fit into this picture of

attacking austerities. It is interesting about the lack of power

think that you were saying. Some of these momentum supporters do not

really care about getting power. They see themselves as a pressure

group. The interesting thing about that is the group have never had any

power, but yet they brought about... It was because of Ukip that we had a

referendum. -- interesting thing is that Ukip never had any paragraph.

They say you can have a lot of power without being the majority party.

The problem is Jeremy Corbyn is wonderful at preaching to the

converted, going to meetings and been fated as a hero and so on. Yes,

nobody really questions his integrity and his foresight on Iraq

and also is of other issues, but that is not enough to get Labour

into power. -- lots of other issues. You could see a situation where

Theresa May at party conference in October, you have a slim majority of

12, Jeremy Corbyn re-elected as leader of the Labour Party and you

think if I had a majority of 100 and I have to negotiate with the French

and Germans in particular in the EU, I need a new mandate, it could

potentially be tempting to think of a way to go to the country. The

mandate, she might require that, because she was put in posts and she

would not feel like an elected Prime Minister. For that reason as well it

may be tempting to go for a snap election which undoubtedly she would

win if it was done. But the news changes so fast, you never know. We

cannot underestimate Theresa May. No. Those who did are now Foreign

Secretary. LAUGHTER Let's have a look at the Observer.

This is fascinating, the EU considers migration emergency break

the Britain despite resistance from the French. It is the Germans

pushing this, pushing something which had it been available to David

Cameron a few months ago might have changed the Brexit vote potentially.

The source of this story is quite interesting, you have to read it

quite carefully to decide who is saying the EU is considering this.

It seems the British ministers are saying that which may be wishful

thinking. This is all just conjecture. Like all of it was

before the referendum. We have not delivered Ali that yet. -- delivered

our U at. This is just so what we would like, we would all like that,

but if we do get that we will so have to pay large amounts of money

into the EU. -- delivered our letter. I think this is Boris's

Little Dreamland. Our kites being flown? Yes, the EU leaders are so

concerned about Brexit that they may be able to make concessions that we

can limit immigration while still retaining access to the single

market, that was the holy grail that was promised during the Brexit

campaign by the leave side. Is it really going to happen? If that had

been on the table three months earlier we may not have had a Brexit

in the first place. The French will be extremely reluctant to make that

sort of concession. Francois Hollande will face an election

challenge from Marine Le Pen in the not too distant future. He needs to

demonstrate that there is a price that Britain must pay for the way

that we voted. Like you say, the piece has a very speculative

flavour. The fear from all the other countries is if they give the

concession to Britain is that everyone will go. There is a huge

vested interest in not doing that. You cannot do that. It feels a

phoney war face, we have had the result, but we have not pressed the

button yet. The resort this toing and froing about what it may mean.

We have the right wing papers who have cheered Brexit, all giving us

these uplifting stories about how there will not be any economic

damage and Boris will deliver everything he has promised. Comes

six months' time, things could be looking weak. Once they sit around a

table and say this is just conjecture. Let's cheer everyone up

by moving onto American politics! LAUGHTER

This is the Sunday Times, he sneers, styles and he is giving Hillary a

real fight. His wife's CV begins to look a bit ragged. Clinton puts

faith in... Where'd you want to begin with this? His speech there is

a lot of resemblance to a lot of the stuff that was said in the Brexit

campaign about making America great again and getting control back and

all of that. All of that smacks of an juicy nobody thought that we

would go the Brexit and we did. -- all of that smacks of, nobody

thought that we would go for Brexit and we did. I am very fearful, a

friend of mine in America said you guys are quite intelligent in

Britain, what will happen in America? E could win. They friend of

mine who is a pollster pointed out that many of the people who wanted

to vote for Brexit were undercounted. -- he could win. The

possibility is many trump voters are simply also being undercounted. He

has been underestimated. How many normal people would admit that they

support him? That is a large section of people. He could poll a lot

better than the opinion polls suggest. Even now he is only 2.7%

behind Clinton. That is too close for comfort. The Washington Post

editorial board wrote a scathing editorial they few days ago talking

about Donald Trump is a threat to American democracy and I do not

think we can underestimate quite how calamitous it could be, not just the

US, but the West if Donald Trump wins the presidency. He is described

by people who know him very well as a sociopath. There is no doubt about

that. The idea that he will walk into the White House come November,

I find it absolutely to find. Maybe it is another establishment plot.

The serious point here is that some people think any negative publicity,

the stuff about plagiarising his speech or Melania, his supermodel

wife and her CV, who cares it is the establishment ganging up on our

guide. This is the antiestablishment thing again, with Brexit it was like

a kick in the teeth. It may be a protest thing and it will backfire

hard. In fairness in both the US and the UK there is a problem with the

status quo. There are swathes of America who have been left behind by

neoliberal globalisation and the same thing applies in Britain. The

one positive out of Brexit was that it did give us all a big kick and

say hang on a minute, there are a hell of a lot of people who are

feeling left behind and they do not feel that it is fair that London has

become a prosperous metropolis while greats raves of the country have

effectively been abandoned. -- great swathes of the country. The Sunday

Mirror, the Dover story. The anything about this story is we know

when the school holidays are, we know when British people head to the

coast. -- the only thing. It is this weekend. It is unfortunately

predictable. Something that on a government levels should have been

done. It is predictable, but because security has been ramped up because

of events in Paris,... Nice, I think we will find it harder to travel

everywhere for a while while we are living in these dangerous times.

That is part of it, the security checks are taking longer and the

other part is there is a massive amount of understaffing. There was

one person checking coaches, it took them 40 minutes to check each coach.

Would I be flying into the arms of conspiracy theory if I say that the

French are not just allowing us to deliberately... Revenge for Brexit?

Now you want to come on holiday? That may be a conspiracy theory, but

most viewers may be thinking there may be something in that. It is an

establishment plot, we finally discovered it!
