Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
With me are political commentator Jo Phillips and Nigel Nelson, | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
who is political editor of the Sunday People. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with: | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
The Observer says the Conservative Party is in chaos | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
as it begins its party conference following the defection of one MP | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
The Mail says the two surprises have wrecked Mr Cameron's chances of | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
using the conference as a launchpad to win the General Election. | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
She is pictured on the Telegraph, too. | :00:52. | :01:01. | |
The paper says Mark Reckless lost faith in Mr Cameron after a furious | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
And the Express leads on the same story: | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
What an incredible day, politically. Let's begin on what the mail on | :01:11. | :01:34. | |
Sunday is leading on tomorrow, the minister forced to quit over | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
Internet sex shame. More details of what these allegations are from | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
another Sunday newspaper over this minister. The other papers have had | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
to play catch up fairly quickly. This is a Sunday Mirror story. | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
Broadly, Brooks Newmark, the civil society minister, was caught sending | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
explicit pictures of the social media having established a rapport | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
with someone on social media. He thought he was talking to a young | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
woman but he was talking to a freelance undercover reporter. The | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
moment he realised what had happened, he quit. It was within | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
less than an hour after he had been told the story would run in tomorrow | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
morning's papers and he went. Clearly, he felt it was serious | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
enough to resign. David Cameron has not had the usual friendly letters | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
when you normally do in these occasions and has immediately | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
replaced him with another minister but it is a very bad start to David | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
Cameron's Tory conference. The Tory conference wouldn't be the same | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
without a bombshell! We have got to now! Brooks Newmark doesn't actually | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
admit to what the allegations are. Our reporters have been in contact | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
with him and he says he wants to spend time with his family and | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
doesn't say whether they chew but he has resigned. That does put out the | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
fire, so to speak, and stop the endless days of calls for his | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
resignation. One assumes that if this was not true comic he would | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
fight tooth and nail to defend his name. The last thing a minister like | :03:30. | :03:39. | |
him would want is this overshadowing the conference. At worst or best, | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
depending on which way you look at it, it's a terrible error of | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
judgement. He has made a complete fool of himself. But he has slightly | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
stolen Mark Reckless's thunder! The focus is very much on both. In the | :04:01. | :04:10. | |
Observer double whammy for Mr Cameron, who is remaining silent | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
tonight as he walked into the hotel in Birmingham ahead of the | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
conference but you will have a lot of questions to answer tomorrow. But | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
he will want to talk about policies. Indeed! And how the Tories might win | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
the election. In a sense, Mark Reckless's defection is a much more | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
serious blow to David Cameron than losing a minister. The fact that | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
Mark Reckless has a 10,000 majority in Rochester and Strood would | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
suggest he is likely to retain the seat in a by`election for UKIP in | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
the same way that Douglas Carswell willing Clacton, meaning that before | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
the general election, you are looking at UKIP having to elected | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
MPs in the House of Commons. Psychologically that's hugely | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
important because they will be seen as a respectable party. Nigel Farage | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
says he will do whatever it takes to get Mark Reckless elected. | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
Otherwise, he will be like so many defect ease. He has had his moment | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
in the sun. He will disappear. Do people vote for defectors? I don't | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
know. He has got a 10,000 majority but that does not mean he has got a | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
terrific personal following. But I think a lot of the fact that his `` | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
a lot of the stuff that has come out tonight... Up until this evening and | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
last night, Mark Reckless was leaving messages saying, I am | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
looking forward, going to Birmingham. If those things are | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
true, and that is what Tory HQ are putting out, voters in Rochester and | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
Strood might think, that's a bit shifty. He has been plotting this | :06:12. | :06:25. | |
since last year. Rochester and Strood is one of those areas that | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
has flipped between Labour and Tory. It could go UKIP but could equally | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
go Labour. It's important that somebody like Mark Reckless wins the | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
seat, clearly, but Douglas Carswell... There is a personal | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
following there. It looks like he will retain the seat. He may do it | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
with a big majority. What Mark Reckless did is discover... A | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
polling company went into the constituency, asking questions, | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
like, how likely would you be to vote for Mark Reckless if he went to | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
UKIP? Ground is being prepared here. It gives a picture of a very shallow | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
man. At the end of last month, he was talking about the only way to | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
get an independent Britain, talking about the European referendum, was | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
to vote Conservative, so I do agree with you there. But it just seems to | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
me that it is another coup for Nigel Farage. I presume he would have | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
unleashed it yesterday but decided the vote in the House of Commons | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
would have overshadowed it. The Sunday Times also reports on the | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
defection and the scandal as well. Prime Minister rocked by defection | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
and sex scandal. Any new interesting analysis of how it rocks the Prime | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
Minister? They have got Lord Ashcroft's polling data and his | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
survey of more than 8000 voters found 27% of those who voted Tory in | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
2010 had abandoned the party. 73% of those would now back UKIP. UKIP is a | :08:16. | :08:26. | |
very serious threat. David Cameron has got to get his troops geared up | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
for the election, especially in a way that Labour were not able to do | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
this last week, and UKIP represent a huge threat there. The activists | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
will know, the guys will have to go out and leaflets in the rain and so | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
on, they will know that UKIP could do pride of victory. Sticking with | :08:45. | :08:53. | |
the Sunday Times, bombing jihadists says top British general. Something | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
similar was said to me yesterday. Again, question marks over the | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
military campaign. Absolutely. This is Lord Richards saying, with all | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
his experience as an army man a soldier, there is no way out of this | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
without ending up with a ground war and I think that is what everybody | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
is terrified of. You have got to take it seriously. We will look at | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
more papers and stories at 11:30 p.m.. At 11 p.m., more on Mark | :09:27. | :09:38. | |
Reckless, the second Conservative MP to defect to UKIP in a month. | :09:39. | :09:46. |
