:00:00. > :00:16.Formula One champion on the eve of the start of the season. First here
:00:17. > :00:21.is The Papers. Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what The Papers
:00:22. > :00:25.will be bringing us tomorrow. With me is Pippa Crerar and the
:00:26. > :00:29.Well, the weather is going to be Well, the weather is going to be
:00:30. > :00:35.chilly, and it was chilly in the Commons today. It sure was. It was,
:00:36. > :00:38.well and truly frosty, the front-page of the Daily Telegraph
:00:39. > :00:44.and the Guardian, they look similar, what they have there, is a picture
:00:45. > :00:50.of the Prime Minister, on the front, and reference to Cameron letting rip
:00:51. > :00:55.at Boris, and Prime Minister attacked Johnson over Brexit. John,
:00:56. > :00:58.any pretence of civility that the Prime Minister suggested would
:00:59. > :01:02.characterise this debate, certainly between him and his cabinet
:01:03. > :01:05.colleagues and those within his party, in dealing with the
:01:06. > :01:10.differences they have over the EU referendum, that is out the window
:01:11. > :01:15.know. Evaporated. I watched about an hour and half of it. It was great
:01:16. > :01:21.spectator sport, it really was. Was your shirt tucked in by the way? Who
:01:22. > :01:26.was it said that. I don't know but it was very funny. I can't remember
:01:27. > :01:30.for, well not for many year, to two members of the same party having a
:01:31. > :01:34.got at each other in this way. Boris shouting rubbish at one stage to a
:01:35. > :01:38.response from David Cameron, David Cameron making, I mean really
:01:39. > :01:42.cynically, ripping into Boris, that picture of the two of them there I
:01:43. > :01:48.think displays their feelings very very adequately. I mean, Cameron
:01:49. > :01:53.looks angry, Boris looks bewildered, dismayed, call it what you will, in
:01:54. > :01:58.shock at the treatment he got. First of all Cameron picked up on this
:01:59. > :02:01.assertion from Boris that maybe by saying let us leave, we could
:02:02. > :02:05.negotiation a better deal. He says that is for the birds. That is not
:02:06. > :02:10.on the ballot paper. Was that some kind of joke? The killer was towards
:02:11. > :02:13.the end, when Cameron said, you know, I am not standing for
:02:14. > :02:18.re-election, I am saying this because I believe this to be a good
:02:19. > :02:24.for the country, dig, dig, dig, Boris you are doing this because to
:02:25. > :02:28.further your own ends. That headline you ghured last night, that said
:02:29. > :02:31.Boris out for himself. I thought was a good headline. Many people would
:02:32. > :02:36.say that is what he is in it for. Pippa, do you see the rest of the
:02:37. > :02:41.campaign, and we have another four months of this. Can't help it. Being
:02:42. > :02:43.fought in this very kind of personal way, between, I mean we are talking
:02:44. > :02:46.for a lot of people in the for a lot of people in the
:02:47. > :02:50.Conservative Party more than 100 MPs potentially this is the battle of
:02:51. > :02:54.their life. This is something they have been wanting, this referendum
:02:55. > :02:59.for many, many years. Do you think, we are going to see this kind of
:03:00. > :03:03.vitriol over the next few months. There will be people on both sides
:03:04. > :03:09.who are hoping very much that is not the case, and in fact at the 1922
:03:10. > :03:12.committee backbenchers, this afternoon, one MP pleaded to the
:03:13. > :03:17.Prime Minister to be nice to Boris, obviously boar advice the biggest
:03:18. > :03:23.beast in the out the Brexit campaign -- campaign and the Prime Minister
:03:24. > :03:27.is the biggest beast in the campaign to remain, so inevitably they will
:03:28. > :03:31.be at loggerheads, whether it is played out so much in public again
:03:32. > :03:36.is unlikely. Boris has suggested he would not be prepared to have a
:03:37. > :03:39.formal debate. Do you believe that? He said he wouldn't take part, he
:03:40. > :03:44.wouldn't go head-to-head. After this isn't that going to change? Why
:03:45. > :03:47.wouldn't you? If you believe that Britain should leave the European
:03:48. > :03:52.Union, why wouldn't you take part in debates? What you could say is the
:03:53. > :03:55.Prime Minister started off this campaign suggesting there should be
:03:56. > :04:02.an orderly debate in the party, not wanting it to descend into the likes
:04:03. > :04:05.of the splits and the infighting that the Conservative Party suffered
:04:06. > :04:11.in the wad old days of the Maastricht Treaty. Under John Major.
:04:12. > :04:17.And yet, today he has launched this, series of person at at -- personal
:04:18. > :04:21.attacks on Boris. You could say he started it but yesterday when Boris
:04:22. > :04:27.came out and declared he was for Brexit, he gave the Prime Minister a
:04:28. > :04:34.minute's warning by text. OK, let us go to the I. On your bike or ribs.
:04:35. > :04:37.-- Boris. John has been talking about that. Pippa, are we talking
:04:38. > :04:40.really about the Prime Minister feeling that he has been betrayed,
:04:41. > :04:44.that he has been led up the garden path by Boris over the last few
:04:45. > :04:48.weeks where Boris has suggested he is going to join the Prime
:04:49. > :04:52.Minister's side on this. The final minute, he says no, a. Going to
:04:53. > :04:56.Compiegne to leave. He has not just suggested to the Prime Minister,
:04:57. > :04:58.there has been a series of backbenchers who have come out and
:04:59. > :05:03.other Conservative Party figures who have said Boris told me that I was,
:05:04. > :05:07.that he was going to vote in, and he, apparently had a meeting with
:05:08. > :05:12.leave campaigners who he told, the problem is I am not an outer. I
:05:13. > :05:16.can't do it. His own columns have talked about being within, being in
:05:17. > :05:20.the EU and the geopolitical necessity of that for wherein, so
:05:21. > :05:33.anyone could be forgiven for thinking he was going to stay in --
:05:34. > :05:35.Britain. What intrigues me, how would you characterise the
:05:36. > :05:39.relationship between these two? They went to the same university in
:05:40. > :05:44.different year, similar background, they are in the same party, they are
:05:45. > :05:49.supposed to be buddy, do they hate each other? Probably now they do.
:05:50. > :05:53.There has been an elm of healthy competition, they went to Eton,
:05:54. > :05:57.Boris was a couple of years older than David Cameron, they were at
:05:58. > :06:00.university together. In the Bullingdon club together. Cameron
:06:01. > :06:09.got a first, Boris didn't quite managed that. He has never forgiven
:06:10. > :06:15.him. He viewed himself as the intellectual superior of the Prime
:06:16. > :06:22.Minister who he sees as an up start. So, this spirit of rivalry has on
:06:23. > :06:27.occasion, for the most part been friendly rivalry, jocular, ebbing
:06:28. > :06:31.texting banter to and fro but you could say it has dipped into
:06:32. > :06:36.animosity, on Heathrow the dispute over whether there should be a third
:06:37. > :06:40.runway at Heathrow and other issues, it has never been as bad as this.
:06:41. > :06:45.Cameron spent the last few months trying to persuade Boris as the
:06:46. > :06:49.biggest beast in the Brexit campaign to come over to his side, and has
:06:50. > :06:52.offered him, an parentally offered him every job, every cabinet job
:06:53. > :06:56.apart from Chancellor, as an enticement to come over. Foreign
:06:57. > :07:06.Secretary? That has been on the table. Foreign Secretary and Defence
:07:07. > :07:09.Secretary what was I was told. I can't see Cameron turning round and,
:07:10. > :07:14.but this is not going, Cameron may feel he has drawn a line under this,
:07:15. > :07:21.Boris won't. I witnessed Boris in the past feeling humiliated at the
:07:22. > :07:25.attacks as he sees them. For example Theresa May, George Osborne and this
:07:26. > :07:30.will certainly linger, he won't, he will be furious about this. He will
:07:31. > :07:38.see it as humiliation. I was going to say as far as the front-pages are
:07:39. > :07:41.concerned it is fascinating to read, everybody is interested in
:07:42. > :07:46.personalities. The issues are all-important, they get no mention
:07:47. > :07:50.at all. You go to the next one. The Metro, Eton rival, even the Metro is
:07:51. > :07:57.talking about the two of them head-to-head. And the... The other
:07:58. > :08:04.thing I think it raises, if I may say so, look at that picture of
:08:05. > :08:11.Boris, in his woolly hat and anorak and Eton rivals in the Metro. I just
:08:12. > :08:16.wonder, you know, for althe ballyhoo round Boris what appeal he has
:08:17. > :08:22.outside London. I was watching some vox pops, probably from the BBC, a
:08:23. > :08:27.lady from Liverpool said who is Boris. He is the most popular
:08:28. > :08:33.politician in the country, I think. It is fair to say when it comes to
:08:34. > :08:36.whether people will listen to him over David Cameron, it suggests more
:08:37. > :08:44.people would trust David Cameron. I think the issue will be how, whether
:08:45. > :08:47.Boris is, his likeability can be transformed into statesmanship and
:08:48. > :08:50.into the public having confidence he could deliver, there is a world of
:08:51. > :08:54.difference between thinking a politician is a great laugh,
:08:55. > :09:00.entertaining, charismatic, crowd pleaser and thinking he can glifr on
:09:01. > :09:06.-- deliver on detailed policies. Whether if you put him in charge of
:09:07. > :09:09.the nuclear codes, or the economy, whether people would have the same
:09:10. > :09:14.faith. That has been the problem for Boris when it comes to his own
:09:15. > :09:17.political aspiration. Sorry, the other issue is the impact of all of
:09:18. > :09:23.this on the Tory party, and the split. Indeed, and William Hague has
:09:24. > :09:29.written a long article in the Telegraph, but let us go to the
:09:30. > :09:34.Financial Times and John sterling tumbles as Cameron takes on Brexit.
:09:35. > :09:42.Sterling fell while the FTSE went up. I was puzzled. I am sure it was
:09:43. > :09:49.explained to you it went up because of the rise in oil prices but the
:09:50. > :09:53.pound went down to a near seven year low, and several agencies, Moody are
:09:54. > :09:58.saying for example, that this, this, it was all down the announcement by
:09:59. > :10:04.Boris and the uncertainty about Britain's future in or outside the
:10:05. > :10:09.EU. I could lead to a more expensive Government borrowing. You know
:10:10. > :10:13.whether you believe Moody or not. Fitch are saying much of the same
:10:14. > :10:17.thing. Two of the three. Two of the big three. Again, all, as a
:10:18. > :10:22.consequence of Boris's pronouncement. It is not the Prime
:10:23. > :10:26.Minister o or those on the in camps staying it is the politics of fear,
:10:27. > :10:32.sterling, this is what happened. It just happened. On the uncertainty of
:10:33. > :10:36.the possibility. It was on the back of one politics, albeit a very
:10:37. > :10:39.well-known one, popular, a record of vote winning saying he was going to
:10:40. > :10:44.take a certain position. This is not, you can only picture what might
:10:45. > :10:49.happen, should Britain pull out. The reality is I don't think any of us
:10:50. > :10:54.know. There are those on the leave side who will say sterling will
:10:55. > :11:00.settle if Britain pulls out. It is good for exporters and people going
:11:01. > :11:06.on holiday. The Huffington Post. We will bring up the Outside Source
:11:07. > :11:14.picture of that. There it is. Which is which? We couldn't work it out.
:11:15. > :11:17.This is a reference to Boris being savaged by Cameron in the Commons
:11:18. > :11:22.over the second referendum claim. This is a battle of big beasts. It
:11:23. > :11:30.is. Huffington Post have had a day of it. They had Boris mocked up as
:11:31. > :11:38.Vicky Pollard in what they describe as a no but, yes, but impression of
:11:39. > :11:44.how it might go. John, Pippa you will be back in an
:11:45. > :11:48.hour, we will look at more of the story, maybe we will get beyond
:11:49. > :11:51.Boris but I doubt it. Stay with us, much more coming up but now time for
:11:52. > :12:10.Sportsday. Welcome to Sportsday. Coming up
:12:11. > :12:13.tonight. No FA Cup upset at new meadow as Manchester United see off
:12:14. > :12:14.Shrewsbury Town and reach the
