as well as a video highlights screenplay on the BBC website. That | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
is all the sport, now it is time for the papers. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Hello and welcome to our Sunday morning edition of The Papers. | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
With me are James Rampton and Josie Cox. | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
The Observer features an interview with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
in which he criticises his deputy Tom Watson. | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Prime Minister Theresa May is Britain's most popular | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
politician, and is even regarded positively by 20 per cent | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
seen a leaked letter from the International | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
Trade Secretary Liam Fox, which suggests he and Boris Johnson | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
are arguing about who controls key parts of foreign policy. | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
a royal wedding next year - in a special report it says | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
is about private briefings by government ministers to City | :00:59. | :01:07. | |
executives that Britain could remain a member of the EU until late 2019, | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
a year later than previously anticipated. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
by the Mail on Sunday after he recovered from a fall | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Let's begin. Jeremy Corbyn, my deputy is talking nonsense and he | :01:17. | :01:30. | |
knows it. That is all in the Observer, trots and plot, what you | :01:31. | :01:41. | |
make of it? Laughing. This really looks like all-out war. It is hard | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
to see how any cohesiveness can be returned to the party within the | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
next few weeks even in the next few months. A couple of decades! | :01:52. | :02:00. | |
Rhetoric is becoming very strong. The claims that have been thrown | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
against the party by Tom Watson last week in this apparent letter, they | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
were punchy. It is perhaps not surprising that Jeremy Corbyn is | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
coming out and saying this. What do you make of it? There is no | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
observable good outcomes of the Labour Party at least in the next | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
year or two. I am metaphorically sitting here with my head in my | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
hands, I would naturally be a Labour supporter, but it seems like a | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
suicide cults. The inter-warfare that is going on, even if Jeremy | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
Corbyn does win, what happens to the 80% of the Parliamentary Labour | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
Party MPs who voted no confidence in him just a few weeks ago. There must | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
be a split, there must be two parties, that is disastrous at a | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
moment where the Labour Party has a massive responsibility in my view to | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
tackle the iniquities of the Tory government, it is fighting itself. | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
For democracy, that is a disaster. Also I'd talk about unity and taking | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
the fight to the Tories, but when they have had a few open goals, the | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
question of the resignation honours with David Cameron, the resignation | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
of Iain Duncan Smith, people were asking where was the fight. -- sides | :03:16. | :03:26. | |
talk about. There are two completely different ideologies and what the | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
Labour Party should be in this day and age, if there is no cohesiveness | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
and agreement on that, where is the credible opposition? Interesting | :03:34. | :03:40. | |
question. When the open goal appears, they do not run over and | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
capable, they ran over and kick themselves! LAUGHTER | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
Labour blacklist 1000 today, Labour officials have been identifying | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
entries as they try to stop members of rival parties and hard left | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
factions influencing the party leadership. This is more if you like | :03:59. | :04:07. | |
trots. This is the question of what is an interest. This 1000 today, it | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
is such a huge number that I cannot begin to imagine where they are | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
finding these people and begin to imagine how much trawling through... | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
They trailed through social media accounts. What qualifies? It is like | :04:21. | :04:33. | |
McCarthyism! Also, why not? If you were a Conservative Party member and | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
you had felt that the Labour Party was for you, what is the reason why | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
you cannot join? By Labour Party rules you cannot be a member of | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
another party. Someone with a militant tents and see from the | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
1980s had said I may be readmitted. -- tendency. Leon Trotsky said that | :04:55. | :05:05. | |
they should secretly join to form a Trotskyite cult within the Labour | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
Party. That is where the phrase entries comes from. If that happens | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
we have two totally separate parties fighting each other rather than the | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
Tories. Let's move on to the other front-page story in the Sunday | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
Times. Brexit will be delayed until the end of 2019, Whitehall is not | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
ready for talks. In a sense you think we kind of know that. Article | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
50 has not impressed, it takes two years, do the maths. Two years from | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
say Christmas would take you up to 2019. This is not brand-new in the | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
sense that I think it is something Sadiq Khan referred to last week and | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
he was saying we need to... He used the phrase square the circle on | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
issues like migration, trade, rushing into anything would lead to | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
more panic and could lead to the brain drain which people have been | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
talking about, people relocating away from the city to places like | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
Dublin, Frankfurt and Paris. We need to avoid that. You have a calming | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
influence of Philip Hammond trying to say look, we will still be able | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
to pay the farmers, we will be able to pay the scientists, we will be | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
able to do things until 2020. You have that pool, on the other hand we | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
have people saying why aren't we still in the EU? -- why are we still | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
in the EU? There are two different factions in the Tory party, there | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
are the moaning Remainers who are furious about how it has turned out | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
and the head-bangers have said let's get a move on! What I find | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
interesting is insiders are saying they are setting up two new | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
departments. Liam Fox is trying to recruit 1000 trade policy experts, | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
but he is only found fewer than 100. We have not negotiated his 1973. | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
There is no one with that expertise out there unless they go to | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
Brussels! You can find them all there! Let's go to the Sunday | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
Telegraph. Boris and Liam Fox in a bitter feud, we have done the Labour | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
Party, let's do the Conservative Party. The only thing missing is | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
David Davis's name. He has a slice of this pie as well. That is | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
mentioned in the Sunday Times story. David Davis 's role is also to be | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
defined and the resources that he has has not been made clear. He is a | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
big person in the party. Absolutely. This is classic turf war and what we | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
are risking here is losing sight of the bigger issue at hand which is | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
basically what the Times article writes about. Not having the | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
resources available, this is not a time where we need in fighting like | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
in the Labour Party. We need a united front. I am just guessing | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
here, but I suspect Theresa May has very little interest in hearing her | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
ministers bicker about something like a turf war when you are looking | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
at Brexit. There is a nanny knows best put-down, she said she is | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
unimpressed with this sort of carry on. She is absolutely right. There | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
is a lovely Matt cartoon. David Cameron turn to it every morning. | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
Wife says to the husband, is that borrowers and Liam Fox discussing | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
Brexit or Olympic judo? -- Boris. This is a massive ego battle. | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
Michael Gove did brilliantly destroying his two supposedly best | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
friends in politics, Johnson only temporarily and it became a huge | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
battle of ego waving. This is the same thing, three very alpha males, | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
Davies, Johnson and Liam Fox or having to share the same house, that | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
would be a great reality TV show, the Big Brother house! Very much | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
Brexit ears! Theresa May may have played a blinder. -- Brexit | :09:12. | :09:24. | |
supporters. I wonder if either of you reflecting on what is going on | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
in labour and Conservatives and the magnitude of what is ahead, we have | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
a PM who is very popular according to polls we have today, but she has | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
not got a personal mandate, she may be tempted to have an election | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
sometime in the next year, there are difficulties, but politically it may | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
make sense. Especially if she sees herself at a dead end with | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
everything that is going on around her. Just going back to the | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
Telegraph. What is interesting is that in this case and I do not know | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
whether this is just the way it is written, Liam Fox looks like he has | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
taken the aggressive stance and there is a sentence towards the end | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
of the article where it says Boris would theoretically agree to suck on | :10:06. | :10:13. | |
some resources from his camp into the Fox's camp which is not | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
something that we know of Boris on stock that is quite | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
uncharacteristic. One said that Liam Fox's letter is very strong | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
language. It does make you think, where is all this heading? This | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
massive ego clash is going on, we have a country to run and Theresa | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
May may say unlike Gordon Brown who bottled it soon after becoming Prime | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
Minister, if I run for election now, serve this tide of popularity, | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
Gordon Brown act out of that, I could get a bigger mandate and | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
change the terms. -- backed out. They could say we do not want the | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
hard Brexit that some people are advocating, we have had a full | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
general election campaign where we have discussed the issues | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
comprehensively and you cannot avoid Brexit entirely, but you could | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
soften it. Interesting. Here is an answer to all the party problems, | :11:11. | :11:18. | |
how to avoid a Brexit break-up. Relate's advice to couples. LAUGHTER | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
What puzzles me about this is how many couples do you know that all | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
many? I know parents and children many? I know parents and children | :11:32. | :11:32. | |
who are at war, I interviewed a comedian the other day who says he | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
calls his parents Lord and Lady snob, I will not tell you who it is. | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
They are at the adamant that Leave is the right thing to do and he said | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
they very selfish, they said they are worried about pensions and we do | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
not want to get involved in a Greek financial crisis with the Euro. We | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
want to cut ourselves off from the world and in so late ourselves from | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
the trouble and we voted for the. This comedian is an open-minded, | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
Euro minded person. He is furious. My daughter was abroad when this | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
happened and she said she was the areas, the older generation have | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
stolen my future. When you look at the breakdown of who voted what and | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
their attitudes to various things, they tend to be different, that is | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
according to the polls, I just wondered if there were many cases | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
for Relate's advice. I know one couple who is definitely on polar | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
opposites sides of the debate. Are they seeing Relate? They do not talk | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
about it, that is maybe the only way forward for a lot of people for the | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
top of the Sunday express has Princess Eugenie to marry. Over to | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
you on this one. Here is a ticking time bomb false. My little knowledge | :13:03. | :13:12. | |
of the Royal family, Eugenie could be to marry in 2017 or not. I am | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
glad you cleared that one up! LAUGHTER | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
Mighty Mouse Farrah, The Mail on Sunday, the Daily Express point out | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
they are 30 PG further The Mail on Sunday. -- 30p cheaper than The Mail | :13:30. | :13:39. | |
on Sunday. This is a proper news story. Congratulations to them to | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
get it on the front page at three in the morning. People working through | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
the nights to make sure that was on the front page. What is | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
extraordinary is he fell over, he was tripped accidentally by his | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
training partner who was covered in blood, he got up and he beat his | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
rival in the spring to the line. He is the most decorated British | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
athlete, he is a total hero. We will have to believe it's there, Mighty | :14:10. | :14:10. | |
Mouse Farrah | :14:11. | :14:11. |
