Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
With me are Pippa Crerar, Political correspondent | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
at the London Evening Standard and Torcuil Crichton, | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
Westminster Editor of the Daily Record. | :00:24. | :00:24. | |
The Telegraph leads with the resignation | :00:25. | :00:37. | |
It claims, fears over being cast as a backbench schemer, | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
led David Cameron to step down with immediate effect. | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
We're reminded by the Metro that on leaving Downing Street David | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Cameron had said that he would be "proud" to serve as a backbench MP. | :00:51. | :01:07. | |
Has legacy in the ruins 16 months after his election victory. | :01:08. | :01:18. | |
The Times says the issue to reintroduce the grammar schools was | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
time Cameron's decision to quit. The Guardian says the Prime Minister | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
-- former Prime Minister did not want people to look at differences | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
between him and Theresa May. The Daily Express reports that | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
almost a million people in England have potentially deadly Type 2 | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
diabetes but don't know it. NHS health chiefs are concerned | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
that soaring numbers The murder brings us the story about | :01:38. | :01:48. | |
the BBC losing the contrast to -- contract for the Great British Bake | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
Off. We're talking about the demise of the show on the BBC. | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Cameron quits to avoid split with me. Allied said he feared being cast | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
as backbench schemer. But he says he did not want to be a distraction. A | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
couple of months ago he promised to stay on as an MP and here we have a | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
dramatic U-turn which very few people expected, despite some operas | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
close as parliamentary friends saying that they knew all along. He | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
consulted Sir John Major, one of his predecessors, about this and John | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
major headed straight to the awful to watch the cricket on the day he | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
stood down from Downing Street. -- awful. -- the oval. He was keen not | :02:41. | :02:51. | |
to be cast as the new Tony Blair to go off and make his millions | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
elsewhere in the private sector. Not did he want to follow Ted Heath who | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
sat in the back benches for 37 years. Stewing over what Margaret | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
Thatcher was doing to his beloved party. When she then met her and at | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
Downing Street he took to the streets seeing, rejoice, rejoice! He | :03:14. | :03:22. | |
does not... Is fundamentally about difference of opinion with Theresa | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
May and the way she is shaping up as the Conservative leader? That is | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
part of it but he had is bake off. The voters of Whitney have been | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
outbid by David Cameron's inherited fortune, which she can now play | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
with. His ?4 million M Meyerbeer and -- memoir deal. Is it about the cash | :03:45. | :03:54. | |
then? He seems to have been disappointed he was crashed so | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
quickly by trees at me. All our eyes has begun Brexit so we have not been | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
following David Cameron's arc over the summer with things like his | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
closing up to the Chinese, Theresa May puppet of that. Same with the | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
Northern powerhouse. Grammar schools -- Theresa May got rid of that. It | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
would not surprise me if she even kicked the Huskies out of Downing | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
Street! He felt privately aggrieved about this. With the legacy he was | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
hoping might continue is gone? He left a huge legacy. He says taking | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
Britain to the edge of the cliff and then left us there. That will be the | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
single biggest thing he is remembered for, regardless of what | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
he done as leader or legislation. Well, the bedroom tax and austerity | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
and... He has potentially taking us to the beginning -- beginning of a | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
new dawn of free trade, not tied to Brussels. That's what those people | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
who voted to leave would say. That is what the majority voted for, for | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
sure. Let's go to the Daily Mail. His | :05:19. | :05:27. | |
legacy of ruins. -- has legacy ruins, they say. He was the first | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
Prime Minister with a majority, Tory Prime Minister, since 1992. And now | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
he is leaving the Commons. It is quite remarkable how Theresa May has | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
come in and while many people thought she was going to be a | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
continuity candidate, one nation carry on one nation aspect, she was | :05:51. | :05:59. | |
Home Secretary in his Government for six years, she has quickly struck a | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
new tone and set her own course will stop for me, nothing represents | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
that's better than grammar schools which David Cameron very early on in | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
his leadership made clear he would not pursue, he would not allow the | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
expansion of grammar schools and he would stick with the Labour policy | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
of banning any more. For sound educational reasons and also good | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
political reasons. Forward into the past. It casts the Tory party as | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
old-fashioned 1950s British party and Cameron's one achievement was to | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
take it from the mad fringes it was on when Tony Blair was elected and | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
bring it back to the centre ground, with the help of his Huskies and | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
lots of other things and make it electable again. Then he threw it | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
all away, he gambled Britain on the Scottish referendum which he won and | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
lost the following morning when he started talking up English votes for | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
English laws and flare nationalism again at the top he won that so he | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
could gamble again just to pacify the right wing in the Tory party. He | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
is the man who broke the bank in Monte Carlo. He took Britain to the | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
casino and lost. What was a poll said, all political | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
careers end in failure? Is that the right way to look at Cameron now? It | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
depends on the up, Brexit and your political perspective. To some | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
people it will be about what he did and power since 2010 including | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
things like austerity and the bedroom tax. For others though, who | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
wanted to have a referendum on the EU and applauded him for doing so | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
and then subsequently that was one, they will probably do him a bit more | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
nostalgically and fondly. It comes down to what happens with bread | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
negotiations and how successful or otherwise at end up being for our | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
country. -- Brexit negotiations. How hard is it for a former leader to | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
shuffle to the back, onto the back backbenches? The prostate and | :08:13. | :08:22. | |
Theresa May made at the dispatch box -- the first speech to May, you saw | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
him on the fourth row in the backbenches. He looked comfortable | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
and relaxed. When Theresa May had her Brexit await the day he was in a | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
Westminster restaurant seeming to enjoy himself. It looked like he was | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
in it for the long haul and he promised he would be. Alex Salmond | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
got it right today when he said that every MP has a contract with the | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
constituents to serve out their town and Alex Salmond was in the same | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
situation with being the big man and stepping aside. He knows how | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
frustrating that can be fully former First Minister Prime Minister but | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
you have got to suck it up and coming clearly felt he could not. -- | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
and Cameron felt he could not. Onto the times. Talking about boundary | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
changes. The political analyst, well known analyst has had a look at the | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
boundary changes which are coming in next general election and worked out | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
that Labour could lose 25 seats, a massive shake-up and one of the key | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
facts of this is it could boost the Tory majority from 12 MPs to 40. | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
When you consider how complicated the next 12 -- next four years look | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
for the Prime Minister and getting policy through Parliament, how few | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
MPs 12 that is who will vote against everything she proposes, it makes | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
after the next election make her life if she continues as leader and | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
possibly Prime Minister a lot more comfortable. One of the reasons | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
Cameron decided to leave, with only a majority of 12 all the MPs must be | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
there all the time. He would not have time to go anywhere else and | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
relax. One of the other interesting | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
elements is what happens to Labour. One of these seats in lose is Jeremy | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
Corbyn's seat which would be subsumed into a bigger east London | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
constituency and he would be up against some quite prominent MPs in | :10:49. | :10:57. | |
the area. Diane Abbott, his Shadow Foreign Secretary. There is a sweet | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
irony in that. I think that is the story although it is quite near the | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
bottom in the times. Basically Jeremy Corbyn's constituency may | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
disappear and Emily Thornbury and Diane Abbott would have a greater | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
claim to the resultant constituency because under Labour's rules 40% of | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
their constituency would be the new one. Even if one was to step aside | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
than under Labour's rules it should be an open short list. He is caught | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
by ways on this. There is some good news in that boundary change. It | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
seemed Nick Clegg's she is also due to disappear, so he will be relieved | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
he will not have to stand again. Do you know something we do not? | :11:47. | :12:01. | |
Not a Cabinet's view. All of this stuff, toss it out of the way. Great | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
British Baked Off. How much of a disaster is best for the BBC? It is | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
a disaster for the BBC but is it a disaster for the viewer? I do not | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
know where Channel 4 is on the telly. I've no idea! Once again, | :12:24. | :12:32. | |
follow the money. ?25 million Channel 4 paying for this programme | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
formats and I fear this might be some kind of reverse top gear. They | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
bought the former but not the presenters. And they have not bought | :12:42. | :12:56. | |
Mary Berry. They consider themselves BBC people and the fact the big is | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
considered the BBC product I think they will be fairly upset about that | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
but do they then also follow the money? It depends how much they get | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
offered. The BBC was any lose - lose situation. The either match what | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
Channel 4 is offering an come in for criticism from the newspapers over | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
is it were spending so much money on a programme, no matter how popular | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
it is, just one programme? Or they let it go and they are criticised | :13:29. | :13:36. | |
for giving up on... It is almost like letting go of the Crown Jewels. | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
30 million viewers. How much is that worth? How many Chris Evans is it | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
worth? The BBC will be slapped off what | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
ever it does but it will be slapped off more, one suspects, if it spent | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
the money than letting it go. The BBC, through the licence fee, part | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
of its unwritten remit is to develop talent and develop formats. There is | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
a future for you. Fill the gap in the schedule. Other programmes that | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
have transferred they tend to lose that secret ingredient. If the | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
format is changed or the presenters go, it changes. Surely they will | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
reach the ceiling of viewing numbers by now and can Channel 4 improve on | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
the recipe. Lets see if they can. Thank you to you both. The front | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
pages are online on the BBC News website. You can see us there too | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
with each night's edition of The Papers posted shortly after we | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
finish. Once again, thanks for that. Much more coming up. Now the | :15:00. | :15:00. | |
weather. | :15:01. | :15:06. |
