Kate Winslet as a villain and Woody Harrelson alongside. Triple nine, we | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
get Jason Solomon's verdict in the film review. -- 999. | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead at the morning's papers. | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
With me are James Cusick, a political correspondent | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
for the Independent, and the broadcaster, Lynn Faulds Wood. | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
But let's start with the front pages. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
All the newspapers feature pictures of Boris Johnson | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
The FT says dozens of FTSE leaders will sign a letter of support | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
backing David Cameron's push to keep Britain in the European Union. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
But the Express says Boris Johnson will 'get us out of the EU'. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
The Telegraph leads with Mr Johnson's article calling | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
He's pictured in front of the union jack. | :00:48. | :00:58. | |
The Guardian says the Mayor's intervention marks | :00:59. | :00:59. | |
the most significant hurdle to the prime minister's chances | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
The Times shows Mr Johnson surrounded by the media | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
on his London doorstep during his statement this afternoon. | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
It also features the public petition for a meningitis vaccine to be made | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
The Daily Mail's headline reads 'Boris goes in for the kill' - | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
claiming his decision is a dagger blow for Cameron. | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
The Sun takes a Dad's Army theme, and highlights that Mr Johnson told | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
the Prime Minister of his decision via text message | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
While the Independent's headline says the Mayor is 'out for himself'. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
It is all about Boris, never mind Donald in the State and they both | :01:27. | :01:43. | |
have the same haircut -- States. Numerous words outlining why this | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
should be the case to leave the EU. Boris is the man to stop the | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
Brussels machine, as the Telegraph neatly puts it. The front page | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
itself is classic. It is Boris behind the union jack. It is almost | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
future PM stuff with a 2000 word essay in the paper which could be | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
read out at any party conference as a leader's speech. It is full of | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
invective and it is not something that has been worked out in that the | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
last couple of days -- in the last couple of days. He has held these | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
use for a long time. A small part of the front page brings up the | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
possibility that Britain might not ultimately leave the EU in the event | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
of an outvote because what he wants is some redraw and of the | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
relationship on the line that Churchill envisages -- these views. | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
Four paragraphs into a story about leaving Europe it raises the policy | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
-- possibility that we might not have to leave the EU. He and David | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
Cameron over the months had a discussion about two referendums. | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
One that would lay out the position and the second would be a | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
confirmation. All of the papers today show that Boris Johnson has | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
made up his mind and he will be a front rather, whether he likes it or | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
not -- runner. He likes it. He is on every front page. ?30 million worth | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
of bliss. The front of the Telegraph. This is a man who is | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
saving this is my conviction and David Cameron says he thinks it is | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
about leadership ambition and so do I. It is interesting what you are | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
saying, that this is effectively a very high-stakes gamble bargaining | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
chip that Britain besides, we will pull out of the EU, so Boris | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
Johnson, when he becomes leader of the Conservative Party and Prime | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
Minister, because David Cameron has resigned, he goes back to Brussels | :04:02. | :04:11. | |
and he says, we know it is a fait accompli. We have the Danish | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
rejecting the resolution. There is a sort of history in Europe that you | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
can make up your mind to do something and the institution finds | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
a way to ask you a game. It would end the European project if one of | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
the 28 is saying that we only want a free trade agreement and that is it, | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
no supernatural powers for a court in Brussels, it is the end of the | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
project. The strange thing is, in all of the many essays, it is not | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
like there is something wrong with what David Cameron has negotiated, | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
it is the whole project. He is saying, this is a great friend, he | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
is saying you did a great job in Brussels in the time available to | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
you, but by the way I think he is saying he thinks it is pants and it | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
is not good enough. He is also saying that he is against the | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
creeping colonisation and federalism by the European powers that be. He | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
is not against Europe. He is saying it is great and a lovely place to | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
live. He lived in Brussels, he likes chips and mayonnaise. And the little | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
streets until they were dominated with huge buildings full of | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
bureaucrats. Basically, he is saying he would like a different Europe and | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
the one we now have, and so we will leave for now but when he quoted | :05:51. | :06:00. | |
Churchill, he looks Churchillian on the front of the paper, he said he | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
wants to be associated with Europe but not absorbed by it. I think you | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
are right. Once we are out, if we are out, he will come back in with | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
various interest and... (CROSSTALK). It has to be said, the EU does not | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
want Britain to leave and they have made that clear. The Independent, he | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
has his hands in his pockets. At a funny expression. It looks as if he | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
is whistling, but maybe not -- and a funny expression. He confirms he | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
will back the Brexit, in line for Number Ten if UK votes to leave. | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
This is my newspaper... That is the best headline. I think it sums up | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
Boris Johnson. The venality the Independent suggest. It is a nice | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
play on words, out for himself. The political editor says this makes him | :07:04. | :07:12. | |
a natural leader. Of course he is the front man. He said he didn't | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
want that role. It would be interesting for me and the rest of | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
the lobby in Westminster to see how much he is forced into this. That is | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
David Cameron's fear. Until today the natural leader, there have been | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
questions over who it was, if it had to be Michael Gove, fair enough, but | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
he wasn't the most like politician. Every front page today is confirming | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
what is said here, he is the natural leader, and that worries Number Ten. | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
He is also bringing in the idea that if you vote out it is not | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
necessarily final. That is the wording that is being used. He wants | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
a new relationship of trade and cooperation. Back to the idea of out | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
why Europe got together as a common market in the first place. Is that | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
what Nigel Farage and George Galloway want? No. He doesn't want | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
to be seen with either. It is quite clever, to be able to say it, vote | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
out, but it means in on our terms. Vote out and we renegotiate what in | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
means. We could be here all day if we go into details playing words. | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
(CROSSTALK). We don't want to be all day, sorry, mate. David Cameron | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
might be grateful that we are not actually discussing whatever he | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
brings back, which could be vetoed anyway by European lawmakers, so he | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
might be pleased it is all on Boris today. The Sun, blonde bombshell | :08:52. | :09:00. | |
after PM Dad's Army debacle. And here he is... Look at the right hand | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
side, the sun that yesterday was saying, who in the EU do you think | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
you are kidding? That is where the Dad's Army theme has come from. It | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
is a play on words. Exactly. Yesterday, they were saying, we | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
don't like what you have brought back, Mr Cameron, and today they are | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
saying on the right hand side, Mr Cameron is being lined up, and the | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
blonde bombshell is coming -- lo not. I think the Sun is clear, I | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
think they like Boris. The Sun and the Express. Is that divide among | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
the papers, James, basically the Mirror... The Guardian is definitely | :09:49. | :10:01. | |
supporting him. And the Mirror. The Mirror has EU rats Boris, which has | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
the Mirror siding with David Cameron. I suppose legitimately | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
questioning Boris's motives. In some of the papers it is almost... It is | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
not necessarily an in or out fight but an establishment versus the | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
people fight, which is how the Express has painted the picture. If | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
it has come down to that, it means the negotiations, the outcome of | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
what is at stake, the detail is being quietly parked and it comes | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
down to a visceral, emotional reaction to it. That will | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
characterise it. Lots of people think what we will discuss over the | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
next 120 days is what will happen in Scotland, people have made up their | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
mind before the campaign started. -- is what happened in Scotland. It is | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
about how to change people's long-held views. That is why it | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
David Cameron is going on about a leap in the dark. It is the unknown | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
that you don't want to go near. Don't for a about the details. Only | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
one paper supporting him, the FT, with business leaders. We know how | :11:12. | :11:20. | |
David Miliband feels. Nothing else. Have a look at Boris's face on the | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
front pages. You can see which way the paper is going by the expression | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
on Boris's face. The more left-wing leaning papers are not supporting | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
it. OK, OK, we will test that with the Daily Mail. Horoscope is in for | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
the kill. What does it say? -- Boris goes in for the kill. It says I am | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
petitioning for Hannibal Lector. LAUGHS. | :11:53. | :12:02. | |
Boris goes for the kill. Johnson backs EU exit. Another paper | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
suggesting he is out for himself. We should say why it is a dagger blow. | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
David Cameron knew that he was going to go for the out, and in fact Boris | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
couldn't remember the name of the out he was going for, so he called | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
it Vote Leave. Ten minutes before appearing on his doorstep, that is | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
when David Cameron was dumped by text. To send your Prime Minister a | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
text with something so important shows him what he thinks of the man. | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
Disdain, contempt... I don't know. Lee | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
Disdain, contempt... I don't know. -- be careful, you are supposed to | :12:53. | :13:00. | |
be... (CROSSTALK). Let's go to the Guardian. What does this look say? | :13:01. | :13:09. | |
Don't buy anything from this man! I think I can take it from this that | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
the Guardian are going to back the stay in side of things. Boris says | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
this is my conviction, I have wrestled with this one... If it is | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
your conviction, you don't really wrestle with it, you have probably | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
known for a long time. David Cameron says it is not his conviction but | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
his leadership ambitions. James, the suggestion is from Number Ten, they | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
are worried Mr Johnson could add four percentage points to the tally | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
for the out campaign. Our people in Scotland, in the north-east, will | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
they be concerned he will vote out? -- are. The Guardian has a small | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
graphic on the front which says why he is vital and it means that the | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
two politicians, whose vote they will take their cues from, are the | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
Prime Minister and Boris Johnson, which is why Number Ten are | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
anxious. The Guardian goes into good detail. This is a neat what story. | :14:14. | :14:27. | |
-- Nick Watt. He says Downing Street have been irritated by Boris | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
Johnson. You totally understated. Indeed. It has been great to have | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
you in to look at some of the stories making the headlines. Many | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
thanks. Stay with us here on BBC News, there is much more coming up. | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
Now, it is time for the film -- Film Review. | :14:48. | :14:49. |
