Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
With me are the former Labour political advisor, | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
Ayesha Hazarika, and Neil Midgley, media commentator at | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
We are going to be gained with a reminder of the breaking news which | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
makes it onto the front of one of the pages tomorrow morning, the | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
resignation of Diane James, the MEP elected 18 days ago to lead the | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
party, Ukip. That is the head in the Times. Ukip leader quitting after | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
three weeks. Full marks for getting it on this quickly. Great scoop by | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
Lucy Fisher in terms of getting the scoop. This story is extraordinary | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
and I don't think we'll get to the bottom of it for some time. A report | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
said she felt shaken after being spat on on a train on the way to | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
Cardiff but I think there is more to it. The key line in the resignation | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
is that she does not have the sufficient authority nor support of | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
her colleagues and party, indicating that there were rules she wanted to | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
change, questions she was asking about finances so I think it allude | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
to something much murkier going on. And rats fighting in a very small | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
sac. There is a question about whether Ukip still has a role in the | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
post-referendum Britain, what do they stand for, what do they want, | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
what is their pitch to the electorate? Nigel Farage has been | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
the leader at least twice. They want him to come back! Technically he may | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
still be the leader because she has said she has not formally become the | :02:05. | :02:13. | |
leader. For ever Farage! Steven Woolfe, who was the Ukip the hope | :02:14. | :02:22. | |
against the Labour Party in the North, there is some weirdness about | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
him not getting his papers in on time. I don't think it was 18 | :02:28. | :02:37. | |
minutes. It is like Stranger Things, these strange things happening in | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
Ukip. One difficulty happening with Ukip, the Times has done it and now | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
the Daily Telegraph. Presume the others will be dependent. | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
Interesting that Diane James Haskell in her statement to the Times -- has | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
given her statement. And it is on the day of Theresa May's big speech | :03:05. | :03:16. | |
at the Tory party conference. Getting the news before 9pm, when | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
the paper goes to bed. It sets the agenda. The Daily Mail is doing its | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
bit tomorrow, Ayesha, with its very bold image, Theresa May savaging | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
leave the liberal -- savaging the liberal elite. We are all liberal! | :03:37. | :03:45. | |
What is really interesting is that I think that Theresa May's speech is | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
not going to have many nuggets of policy, it looks like they have | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
briefed out the interesting policy things, the timing of Article 50, | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
the thing about overseas doctors and immigration. The key message they | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
want to get to the country is a big patriotic message, a big appeal. | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
Ironically I think it is to the Ukip voters and those who voted for | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Brexit, saying that we've heard you, we get what you are saying and we | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
are on your side. It is more about tone. We have Eneko on the front of | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
the Daily Express, the message that they won't grovel to Brussels. -- we | :04:26. | :04:37. | |
have an echo. According to the press Association, Liam Fox this evening | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
was casting doubt on the quality of the CVs of the trade negotiators who | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
may be a part of the British team. It would be a strange interview | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
where the interviewer says, would you grovel to Brussels and Theresa | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
May would say, just a bit. Of course she has to talk tough and Theresa | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
May personally has played a very strong tactical game, staying | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
relatively neutral during the referendum campaign itself so now | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
she can pretend to be all things to all men and women. Particularly to | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
disenfranchised Labour voters. The stark thing that stood out to meet | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
at the Labour conference was that the Labour Party has no answer to | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
the many millions of natural Labour supporters who want curbs on | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
immigration. The Labour Party just isn't speaking to that and Theresa | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
May comes from relatively modest background herself, she is able to | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
say once again, as Margaret Thatcher did in the 80s: we are the parties | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
of the aspirational working-class -- the party. Picking up on what Niall | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
said, looking at the front of the Guardian, Theresa May calling on the | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
Tories to seize the centre ground. Papers will take the editorial line. | :06:02. | :06:11. | |
You briefed the papers to things that may appeal to their readers. | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
People will feel that her initial big picture on the steps of Downing | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Street was very much that they are going to rules from the centre, | :06:21. | :06:30. | |
almost like an Ed Miliband speech, like one government, but I think the | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
reality will be different. I think Neill is right, they need a | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
political and strategic decision to go after the northern heartlands | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
where they will try to settle. They know that Labour is soft in those | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
areas because of the Brexit vote and immigration issues. Difficult for | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
Labour to navigate through the Freedom of movement stuff. Diane | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
James and Ukip couldn't come at a better time for Theresa May. Her | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
policies, grammar schools, immigration, that is catnip to that | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
kind of right wing, people who are interested. She's saying to Ukip | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
voters, come back to the Conservative Party. This talk of the | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
centre ground is for the birds. Right! Fact! Not closing the deficit | :07:18. | :07:26. | |
by the end of the Parliament, the people who care about that. | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
Extraordinary because for years the Labour Party have been said that | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
their policy of borrowing more to invest was irresponsible but now | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
that rule has been ripped up. There is that think that in government you | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
can fairly shamelessly pick from what the other parties have and you | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
don't get access match -- you don't get too much flak. This fund from | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
and am -- announced from Amber Rudd today. The living wage. Diane James | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
said in her first conference speech, she called Theresa May magpie May | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
because she was collecting policies and the grammar school policy was a | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
Ukip policy. One thing in the Guardian piece, Theresa May | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
attacking the Labour Party saying that they have not just been divided | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
as a party, they have divided the country. I have issue with that, | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
Labour is very divided. At least Ukip have made us look better but I | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
don't think anybody would say that the Labour Party policies are | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
defined in the country. Grammar schools are very divisive. Hardline | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
talk on immigration, doctors going back, that is pretty divisive stuff | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
and she will have a big row with Scotland over Brexit. The big idea | :08:52. | :09:01. | |
that... I think she will be far more divisive. If Jeremy Corbyn and the | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
Labour Party had done the right kind of job with their supporters in the | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
referendum vote, we would have had a Remain vote and the country would | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
now be united in membership of the European Union, that is the | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
divisiveness of the Labour Party, internal fighting, not doing what it | :09:20. | :09:29. | |
needs to do with the big issues in the country. The Labour Party is | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
definitely divided. Nothing was more divisive than the referendum result | :09:35. | :09:46. | |
and it is your guide's fault. -- your guy. The Guardian look like | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
they have some fashion advice for if the Prime Minister gets into tough | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
negotiations with the EU. And some advice from Kim Kardashian and Kanye | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
West, apparently hiring doubles. Going to the Metro, bumpy Brexit | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
ahead, a slightly different take on her words. Yes and in particular on | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
Philip Hammond's words. Good cop bad cop I think, Philip Hammond is | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
saying as Chancellor, you know, it is looking bleak and it will be a | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
roller-coaster and it may look all right at the moment but choppy | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
economic waters ahead and then Boadicea Theresa comes along in her | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
chariot and says we are patriotic, tough, the party of the working | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
classes the same as everybody else. Clearly it is going to be bumpy | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
ahead. There's one sentence that sooner or later must come out of a | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
Conservative's mouth, either we want to stay in the single market or we | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
don't. That will be the decisive point that will decide how bumpy it | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
gets stuck last word. The Chancellor Philip Hammond summed it up when he | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
said that nobody voted to get poorer when they made the decision, time | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
will tell. The IMF have said that they were possibly overly | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
pessimistic but they are still worried about the future. Ending on | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
a download! Thank you for joining us. -- down note. A reminder of the | :11:25. | :11:33. | |
breaking news about Diane James's decision to quit as Ukip leader | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
after 18 days because she says she does not have the authority to make | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
the changes she needs. Still a relatively quiet and | :11:40. | :11:56. | |
tranquil scene over the UK over the next few days in stark contrast to | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
the devastation brought by | :12:02. | :12:02. |
