:00:14. > :00:22.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:23. > :00:26.With me are Tim Shipman, political editor of The Sunday Times
:00:27. > :00:27.and Caroline Wheeler, political editor of
:00:28. > :00:35.The Observer leads with the fallout from Iain Duncan Smith's
:00:36. > :00:38.resignation, saying the Tory party is at war.
:00:39. > :00:41.The Mail on Sunday claims the Prime Minister unleashed a four
:00:42. > :00:44.letter tirade at Mr Duncan Smith when the Work and Pensions Secretary
:00:45. > :00:48.made clear he was determined to resign.
:00:49. > :00:51.The Sunday Times focuses on what the resignation could do
:00:52. > :00:54.to George Osborne's leadership ambitions.
:00:55. > :00:59.And the Sunday Telegraph says the knives are out
:01:00. > :01:02.for the Chancellor, as he suffers what they call an "unprecedented
:01:03. > :01:05.The Sunday Express has a different lead, reporting that murder trials
:01:06. > :01:11.could be shown live on TV, in a bid to show justice being done.
:01:12. > :01:14.And for the last ever print edition of the Independent on Sunday,
:01:15. > :01:17.the paper has the simple headline "lights out" and a report
:01:18. > :01:32.A bonanza for people like this. You could hardly believe what you are
:01:33. > :01:34.seen when we all saw the story drop last night that Ian Duncan Smith had
:01:35. > :01:46.resigned. With the mail on Sunday. Expletives
:01:47. > :01:52.at Chequers. Expletives on the telephone, we are told. In other
:01:53. > :01:56.newspapers as well, I should stress. I have had more cans of Diet Coke
:01:57. > :02:04.today than I have had hours sleep since this book. Ian Duncan Smith
:02:05. > :02:10.said in his resignation letter to David Cameron yesterday, by car, I
:02:11. > :02:15.am told. At the taxpayers expense. Probably. It arrived at the primers
:02:16. > :02:20.to reforms him up and says, is there anything I can do to keep you? And
:02:21. > :02:25.please don't resign immediately, have a think. Ian Duncan Smith
:02:26. > :02:30.phones back a couple of hours later and says I am off and I will issue
:02:31. > :02:36.my letter to the media. At flash point in the prem and Mr Gore 's
:02:37. > :02:40.desert. He calls him dishonourable for his behaviour because he didn't
:02:41. > :02:48.have the guts to turn up and resign in person. The reason that she was
:02:49. > :02:53.supposedly resigning, the cuts to disability benefits, he had not
:02:54. > :02:56.bothered to mention to the Prime Minister before. David Cameron is
:02:57. > :03:02.furious. There is a huge lead in the Sunday Times as well on this. And in
:03:03. > :03:07.the Sunday express. Probably in the Telegraph as well. It has been a
:03:08. > :03:10.very well briefed story and it has a right old mess. We have all been
:03:11. > :03:14.waiting for weeks that there is a civil war and put the party but
:03:15. > :03:18.tonight there actually is. And you actually seen anything like this
:03:19. > :03:23.before? In all the times you've been covering politics. In his letter, he
:03:24. > :03:29.was very plain and explaining why he was calling. And then the reaction
:03:30. > :03:32.that we also last night. It was astonishing and some senses. There
:03:33. > :03:36.was a strange delay from when he announced he was calling and number
:03:37. > :03:40.ten responding. I am told from sources close to Smith that there
:03:41. > :03:44.had been some warning signs that he wasn't happy for some time and it
:03:45. > :03:49.was some suggestion that he had been unhappy about the direction of
:03:50. > :03:52.policy for some time and particularly on the cuts agenda, he
:03:53. > :03:57.could see that cuts were being made at all costs and putting in jeopardy
:03:58. > :04:01.what he saw as his latest work, which is around the agenda of making
:04:02. > :04:08.work pay. He wants to be seen as a social reformer. That is his legacy.
:04:09. > :04:14.He has people close to him referring to him in those terms. Will he be a
:04:15. > :04:17.light to get away with that? Some people have an in touch as saying
:04:18. > :04:21.that you have to remember that has legacy has meant hardship for a
:04:22. > :04:24.great deal of people. And that is how number ten want to spend it.
:04:25. > :04:33.That he was looking for an excuse to go. He was not happy with the way
:04:34. > :04:36.that things were going. There is a suggestion he wanted to cause pain
:04:37. > :04:40.and embarrassment to the Chancellor, who is in favour of the prime
:04:41. > :04:45.ministers renegotiation deal to stay in Europe. If you speak to those who
:04:46. > :04:50.are close to Iain Duncan Smith, they are very determined that this was
:04:51. > :04:54.about the fact that he wanted -- you felt that his whole life 's work was
:04:55. > :05:08.being undermined by the slicing of the budget. But as luck at the
:05:09. > :05:13.Sunday Times. This shreds as attack -- has chances of getting to number
:05:14. > :05:16.ten. George Osborne has been this dominant figure in politics for a
:05:17. > :05:20.long time. All the people that support and the man himself have
:05:21. > :05:28.been trying to make it years the inevitable next leader after David
:05:29. > :05:31.Cameron. He offers people job got -- jobs, he gives my to constituencies
:05:32. > :05:35.and he gets a lot of support. Since it looks like he will not win,
:05:36. > :05:40.people come crawling out of the woodwork. What we have huge night as
:05:41. > :05:44.all-out war on George Osborne by ministers, MPs, who are sick to
:05:45. > :05:49.death of him walking at over the party. There are people sing he is
:05:50. > :05:56.unfit for the job, people come heading into the jail catcher in the
:05:57. > :06:11.Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. -- comparing him to the jailed catcher.
:06:12. > :06:16.-- child catcher. We also have the revolution that last week one of the
:06:17. > :06:22.people closest to him was telling people that he made not run. If you
:06:23. > :06:29.make not win, he will not risk the humiliation of running. One voice is
:06:30. > :06:39.awful quiet in this also far as Boris Johnson. She is on holiday,
:06:40. > :06:43.skiing. He is -- he will be delighted. Ever since Boris Johnson
:06:44. > :06:50.came out in favour of the exit for -- from Europe, his popularity has
:06:51. > :06:56.soared. At the same rate that George Osborne popularity has diminished.
:06:57. > :07:00.George Osborne has known that his popularity was on the wane. There
:07:01. > :07:11.was a tax credits row last autumn when he was damaged. This rebellion
:07:12. > :07:14.over the personal independence payment has shown that he has
:07:15. > :07:21.misjudged the mood of the party once again. Want is recoverable but twice
:07:22. > :07:25.not suck. Everyone needs a friend and George Osborne 's rent as
:07:26. > :07:29.Michael Gove, coming to his side. The one member of the true that is
:07:30. > :07:40.trying to remain friends with everybody. Osborne invited Gove over
:07:41. > :07:45.to his tax funded home to be nice to him and keep it all sweet. Meikle
:07:46. > :07:49.Corp has done a piece for the Sunday Telegraph saying that everybody
:07:50. > :07:52.needs to pull together. I think the Secretary of State for Justice
:07:53. > :07:55.should probably read all the stuff that we had just been looking at and
:07:56. > :08:00.see what chance that is of everybody remaining friends. It is pretty wall
:08:01. > :08:10.at the moment. But is usually interesting to political journalists
:08:11. > :08:18.like you, but, I'm almost you for you, but what I want to know is what
:08:19. > :08:23.this is matter to the country? Why would people who don't follow the
:08:24. > :08:27.ins and outs at with spinster need to worry about this? I think at the
:08:28. > :08:30.heart of this there is a row about something that is fundamental. It is
:08:31. > :08:36.to do with the direction of travel for the country, it is about how we
:08:37. > :08:40.move forward. The flashing lights of the economy are plunking away and we
:08:41. > :08:46.are trying to get our books back into the red, so that we can protect
:08:47. > :08:51.ourselves of any shocks that made commented future. It is all about
:08:52. > :08:55.how that will happen and basically, Ian Duncan Smith has tried to
:08:56. > :08:58.protect his empire and he is saying that he doesn't think we can cut and
:08:59. > :09:03.cut and cut at the expense of things that need it most well at the time
:09:04. > :09:07.that Mike at the same time as giving tax breaks to the high income
:09:08. > :09:11.earners. The other thing you get with others in fighting in one party
:09:12. > :09:15.if you think back to Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, it was all them
:09:16. > :09:18.arguing with each other and the opposition at that time was largely
:09:19. > :09:23.irrelevant. The fact that the Tories feel that they are able to have this
:09:24. > :09:26.ridiculous Civil War on the front page of every paper is partly a
:09:27. > :09:31.function of the fact that they do not think that Jeremy Corbyn is a
:09:32. > :09:35.threat to them. That is special about her CD as a bookish as for the
:09:36. > :09:39.country. If you don't have an effective opposition, this is what
:09:40. > :09:46.happens. There was a poll that put carbon ahead for the first time. --
:09:47. > :09:51.Jeremy Corbyn. The public does not like political parties that are
:09:52. > :09:56.fighting each other all the time. A couple of quick stories away from
:09:57. > :10:00.the Conservatives. The Sunday express their stocking about plans
:10:01. > :10:04.to screen the moderate trials. Not the whole trial, but certain parts
:10:05. > :10:08.of it. There has been talk about this for a long time now. It is all
:10:09. > :10:13.about open justice. What the proposal as it is that they will
:10:14. > :10:17.have a pilot scheme at the Old Bailey, to film the sentencing
:10:18. > :10:23.remarks of just -- judges, whether viewed to in the future appealing --
:10:24. > :10:28.paving the way for the jet -- tell the position of the high-profile
:10:29. > :10:32.trials. There is precedent for this across the rest of the world. We saw
:10:33. > :10:38.the Oscar Pistorius trial, the OJ Simpson trial, and I think this is
:10:39. > :10:43.just about seeing that we need to evolve our criminal justice system
:10:44. > :10:47.into the 21st-century. They have been doing it in the Court of Appeal
:10:48. > :10:52.for well. The real question is comes next. Is this the thin end of the
:10:53. > :10:58.wedge when we suddenly get the British barristers grandstanding
:10:59. > :11:02.like Johnnie Cochran back in the good old days? There are judiciary
:11:03. > :11:06.is probably scored to adapt to the skin of thing than almost anywhere
:11:07. > :11:10.in the world and there is a positive development. It will be interesting
:11:11. > :11:14.to see how far it goes in the years to come. Finally, the last and
:11:15. > :11:25.addition of the Independent on Sunday. Lights out, it says. They
:11:26. > :11:28.are talking about the reasons for optimism on climate change. It is
:11:29. > :11:33.very sad to see the paper going online. I have friends who work
:11:34. > :11:37.there. I think it is a fantastic newspaper. Pound for pound, in terms
:11:38. > :11:42.of the budget they have and the staff they have, they put out a good
:11:43. > :11:46.product. It is a great shame to see it going online only. We need to
:11:47. > :11:52.embrace the future. They can make a success of a deer, or to the good
:11:53. > :11:56.and David Cameron has given an interview this evening. No escape
:11:57. > :12:02.from politics. There are some cracking lines on there. One of the
:12:03. > :12:07.things that David Cameron actually says is that he would not rule out
:12:08. > :12:11.serving in a future government. Once he stood down as Clemens to, he has
:12:12. > :12:16.said he will not serve a third term, but he may come back and read up in
:12:17. > :12:20.the parklands and the future. Boris Johnson will be delighted to offer
:12:21. > :12:22.him the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions. That is a further
:12:23. > :12:25.papers. -- That's it for
:12:26. > :12:27.The Papers this hour. You'll both be back at 11:30pm
