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
