:00:00. > :00:00.sack the chief whip. The Sunday Telegraph claim senior members of
:00:00. > :00:12.the Tory party are threatening to resign of plans for Heathrow get the
:00:13. > :00:15.go-ahead. Let us begin. Your political editor of the Sunday
:00:16. > :00:18.express and that is lovely to have you here but I want you to document
:00:19. > :00:25.something other than politics and latter is your headlines saying
:00:26. > :00:29.killer storms. We understand the storm has claimed its first victim,
:00:30. > :00:35.a 90-year-old who was blown into the side of a bus. This story was moving
:00:36. > :00:40.as he went through the day, not something that figure at massively
:00:41. > :00:44.on our news list in the morning but we sell a lot of papers in the North
:00:45. > :00:48.of England and as we move through the course of the day the situation
:00:49. > :00:53.became more serious with a growing number of flood warnings across
:00:54. > :00:59.large swathes of the North of England and Wales, and not just
:01:00. > :01:03.those AV is more prone to flooding. We have also heard that places like
:01:04. > :01:08.Cockermouth are expected to be under water from seven p.m.. Thousands
:01:09. > :01:14.evacuated and people left without power and of course the storm
:01:15. > :01:19.continues and we still have 85 mph winds across large parts of the
:01:20. > :01:22.company and the more rain to come, and moving southwards, so I think
:01:23. > :01:26.this story will move on and then the North of England, this is what our
:01:27. > :01:33.readers will be waking up to tomorrow. If they can get to the
:01:34. > :01:38.newsagent! Which is always a worry! I have had some amazing stories to
:01:39. > :01:41.night of people being rescued, and one of the things that struck me
:01:42. > :01:49.talking to people in the middle of it all, as journalists will be
:01:50. > :01:54.doing, it seems to catch people rather by surprise and also rather
:01:55. > :02:00.than -- rather worse than floods in those parts before? Storms can
:02:01. > :02:07.become the main story of the day from Norway. We have all had a week
:02:08. > :02:11.where we expected the Labour Party to be on the front page over the war
:02:12. > :02:20.and suddenly the storm and homes underwater. We will come onto more
:02:21. > :02:26.political matters but just sticking with your paper, the front-page
:02:27. > :02:29.picture, a great picture. We have had great pictures all day and my
:02:30. > :02:35.Twitter feed has been full of pictures from my friends in the
:02:36. > :02:39.North East sweating -- tweeting pictures of water and roads closed
:02:40. > :02:44.and people not able to get home. Your name is on the front page,
:02:45. > :02:52.Special Report on pages four and five. Quite a lot of elements, take
:02:53. > :03:02.us through this, there are three main stories. The first one is that
:03:03. > :03:05.there are lots of rumours and plots within Westminster against Jeremy
:03:06. > :03:12.Corbyn but the main story has been almost the opposite angle, of
:03:13. > :03:17.moderate MPs attacking Jeremy Corbyn for not calling off the attack gods.
:03:18. > :03:24.Campaigning to get these MPs deselected. Jeremy Corbyn feels that
:03:25. > :03:33.the abuse he is receiving is not being reported, and this sort of
:03:34. > :03:40.covers that. That first one, rumours that the leader passed out. Is this
:03:41. > :03:45.right? I missed this. It is astonishing but it is what MPs have
:03:46. > :03:52.been saying all week and I reported it to the leader's office yesterday,
:03:53. > :03:59.and they are furious. Categorically untrue, and they see it as a mere
:04:00. > :04:04.two undermine him, because they can't attack his politics and he won
:04:05. > :04:07.in Oldham they have to do this. They plan to sack the Chief Whip and
:04:08. > :04:15.reshuffle the Shadow Cabinet Minister stop you reporting it you
:04:16. > :04:22.think it is on the cards? They see Rosie Winston, the Chief Whip as not
:04:23. > :04:27.being one of the layers. She was very influential informing the
:04:28. > :04:32.Shadow Cabinet when she helped steady the ship and appoint the
:04:33. > :04:37.shadow cabinet, and she was very influential in the coming up with an
:04:38. > :04:40.agreement for a free vote on the Syrian air strikes, but that has led
:04:41. > :04:43.some of the Syrian air strikes, but that has led some of Jeremy
:04:44. > :04:48.Corbin's supporters to think that she is not supportive, and they need
:04:49. > :04:53.somebody on their side. Is it your impression that this is what we are
:04:54. > :05:00.going to see? That they have to be real loyalists? I think so. It is
:05:01. > :05:05.really interesting because if you remember after the vote, they were
:05:06. > :05:08.reports she had walked into the opposite division lobby which would
:05:09. > :05:13.be absolutely astonishing, so there are real issues around her, but the
:05:14. > :05:18.thing I find so surprising is that he has had a tough week, or a tough
:05:19. > :05:25.beginning of the week. But not a tough end! And the point is that the
:05:26. > :05:28.Oldham result has possibly toughened his resolve to actually deal with
:05:29. > :05:34.some of the resistance within the party. The interesting thing is if
:05:35. > :05:38.he is going to purchase party of the moderates, who will he put in their
:05:39. > :05:44.place and will he find enough allies to be able to fill those positions?
:05:45. > :05:55.The front page of the Observer goes on about
:05:56. > :06:01.confidence, this is interesting stuff. At the start of the week we
:06:02. > :06:04.would have been thinking about short pages of moderate MPs calling for
:06:05. > :06:09.Jeremy Corbin's resignation because they were expecting him to suffer a
:06:10. > :06:13.humiliating result, and actually there was a swing to Jeremy Corbyn,
:06:14. > :06:20.over 60% of the vote, which is an amazing achievement. The moderates
:06:21. > :06:23.are not sure what to do. The old phrase a week is a long time in
:06:24. > :06:27.politics and circulate through. I don't think he is out of the woods
:06:28. > :06:35.yet and lacking in the background is this bullying scandal. People like
:06:36. > :06:39.Stella Creasy being threatened and told she would be deselected. If you
:06:40. > :06:45.then purges moderates it'll open him up to the same kind of allegations
:06:46. > :06:55.of snazzy type behaviour, purging his shadow can in his critics. --
:06:56. > :07:00.Sasi. Stella Creasy has a public meeting tomorrow and I am told she
:07:01. > :07:04.will have a fairly strong police presence because of the kinds of
:07:05. > :07:08.threats she has received. I don't think either elements of the stories
:07:09. > :07:11.will go away and Jeremy Corbyn will try to strengthen his hand and the
:07:12. > :07:18.moderates will still have something to say over how he manages his own
:07:19. > :07:23.politics and team. Staying on the front page of the Observer, new
:07:24. > :07:31.bombing raids hit the city in all fields. Tell us what this is about.
:07:32. > :07:34.-- Syrian oilfields. They have been out talking to the pilots and
:07:35. > :07:40.navigators and the Observer has an interesting tack on this, as they
:07:41. > :07:43.are talking about the second wave of bombing raids but suggesting the
:07:44. > :07:51.coalition forces may become drawn into the strikes against the jihad
:07:52. > :07:55.ease in Libya. It is said this comes on the back of a reconnaissance
:07:56. > :08:00.missions the French have done in Libya and raises questions about
:08:01. > :08:05.where is this going to end? If we are now going to talk about Libya
:08:06. > :08:10.becoming a target as well, whether or not the UN resolution will even
:08:11. > :08:15.cover our involvement. The message that has been coming out clearly
:08:16. > :08:19.from Michael Fallon today, is that this is going to be a long and
:08:20. > :08:22.protracted conflict, and he's really trying to manage expectations that
:08:23. > :08:30.they will not go on and come out and it will be over by Christmas. We are
:08:31. > :08:35.in for the long haul. The phrase, not going to be a short or simple
:08:36. > :08:40.operation. Statement of the obvious but it could go anywhere? It reminds
:08:41. > :08:48.me of the polar opposite of the statement in Afghanistan when John
:08:49. > :08:54.Reid said there might not be a shot fired in Afghanistan and we were
:08:55. > :08:59.still only nine years later. Mission creep in this conflict seems
:09:00. > :09:10.inevitable. If we're talking about Libya, a front on Friday said Isis
:09:11. > :09:16.were now in Afghanistan. Let's go to the Sunday Telegraph. The main
:09:17. > :09:21.story, I think it is your turn. Tories at war over Heathrow
:09:22. > :09:24.expansion. The recommendation of a third runway at Heathrow but they
:09:25. > :09:29.arguing goes on and it looks like it's getting worse? I am not sure we
:09:30. > :09:39.will have this front-page story for the next four years or maybe for my
:09:40. > :09:42.lifetime! It is CNN off a lot of senior Tories hate the idea of
:09:43. > :09:47.Heathrow so Cameron will have the balls of his own? A lot of Tories
:09:48. > :09:54.equally on the other side want the prime minister just to get on with
:09:55. > :09:58.it and give this the green light. It was the clear recommendation,
:09:59. > :10:02.supposed to be recommended last week and now delayed a couple of weeks.
:10:03. > :10:07.The words we are hearing back in Westminster as there will be some
:10:08. > :10:14.form of fight Shand Cameron will put up some legal battles and this will
:10:15. > :10:21.drag on and on. The long grass, another political phrase. If that
:10:22. > :10:26.your impression? I think so. The interesting thing is this comes down
:10:27. > :10:29.to logistics. They all have constituencies that would be
:10:30. > :10:35.affected sort becomes a story about whether or not they will resign.
:10:36. > :10:38.They have been put into a fairly difficult position because David
:10:39. > :10:42.Cameron said there would be no expansion, but now they have reined
:10:43. > :10:50.back from that and it creates a bit of a problem. There's an easy way
:10:51. > :10:54.out of this and we know there will be a judicial review on this and
:10:55. > :11:01.there are concerns about pollution and all sorts of get out of jail
:11:02. > :11:20.free card is that the Prime Minister could use, but the general consensus
:11:21. > :11:24.thank you very much indeed. We will be back later with another look at
:11:25. > :11:26.the stories. No time for reporters.
