Welcome to our look at head to the poll that -- look ahead to the

:00:20.:00:29.

papers tomorrow. It feels like we should be having a dinner party

:00:30.:00:33.

there are so many others here. We don't have long, but we'll be back

:00:34.:00:38.

again at 11:30pm. Let's start with the mail on Sunday. Five rivals to

:00:39.:00:45.

fight Boris for number ten. Only five? Only five! If you read the

:00:46.:00:53.

Sunday Times tomorrow there are six, maybe seven. We are inundated with

:00:54.:00:57.

people who want to lead the nation. I suppose we should be flattered.

:00:58.:01:03.

Theresa May, Jeremy Hunt, fresh from his doctors strike, Nicky Morgan.

:01:04.:01:09.

I'm told George Freeman will toss his hat into the ring, too. What a

:01:10.:01:17.

smorgasbord of fun we are awaiting. Everyone quickly googles. We can't

:01:18.:01:22.

find some of the key players. Nobody has seen George Osborne, but Boris

:01:23.:01:27.

Johnson has been out in his whites. At one point we thought George

:01:28.:01:31.

Osborne was a shoo-in to be next Prime Minister, but after a few

:01:32.:01:36.

hiccups with the Budget and now the referendum campaign where he made

:01:37.:01:38.

some harsh warnings that upset a lot of people in its party, and

:01:39.:01:44.

so-called project fear, he seems to have disappeared and nobody can find

:01:45.:01:49.

him. There is some suggestion that his leadership hopes aren't totally

:01:50.:01:53.

dead and he might be ringing round MPs to see if he has a chance of

:01:54.:02:00.

getting onto the ballot paper. The new dictionary definition of

:02:01.:02:04.

optimistic. Douglas, we haven't had you here and we are very glad for

:02:05.:02:09.

you to give the Irish perspective. How is this being viewed in Dublin?

:02:10.:02:17.

Very gloomily. It was a shock. The Irish covenant had been openly

:02:18.:02:21.

campaigning for a Remain vote and people are worried. People are

:02:22.:02:25.

worried about the economic hit, which is automatic. And then worries

:02:26.:02:31.

about the future of the border and the future of the relationship

:02:32.:02:36.

between Ireland and Britain. As far as the economy is concerned, that

:02:37.:02:41.

didn't seem to be necessarily quite what everybody was worried about. We

:02:42.:02:46.

know immigration was important. How much of an issue is immigration from

:02:47.:02:51.

the EU for Ireland? It's not an issue at all. Ireland, like Britain

:02:52.:02:58.

and Sweden in 2004, also agreed to allow all the new member states, as

:02:59.:03:04.

many as wished, straightaway. A huge number did come to Ireland. About

:03:05.:03:11.

17% in Ireland today were born outside the country, but there has

:03:12.:03:15.

not really been any major social problem and there is no

:03:16.:03:20.

anti-immigration party in Ireland. Let's look at the Sunday Telegraph.

:03:21.:03:30.

2 million is a lot, but nothing in comparison with the 17 million who

:03:31.:03:36.

said they wanted us to leave the EU. It's a fairly short space of time to

:03:37.:03:40.

garner 2 million signatures. Most of the biggest Ibra editions have been

:03:41.:03:46.

a million at most so it's a fairly big number. As you say, it won't

:03:47.:03:54.

change anything. The time it starts getting interesting is if you start

:03:55.:03:58.

hitting 17 million. Many people would still say the referendum

:03:59.:04:02.

stands. It's not going to make a difference. This is it. We still

:04:03.:04:08.

keep talking about the status of this result. It's not binding, its

:04:09.:04:13.

advisory. It would be a brave government that overturned it. If

:04:14.:04:18.

you mean brave -- by brave, suicidal, yes. It just won't happen.

:04:19.:04:23.

Signing up 3000 people a minute, good for them. If it did get 18

:04:24.:04:30.

million, that would be interesting. Some of the context of what happens

:04:31.:04:34.

next in terms of the deal and what we are expecting from the

:04:35.:04:39.

negotiation may be framed by the public reaction to what's going on

:04:40.:04:43.

with the economic problems and what appears to be a serious case of

:04:44.:04:47.

buyers remorse setting in with some people over the way they voted, but

:04:48.:04:53.

in practice, this is the biggest democratic enterprise in this

:04:54.:04:57.

country since 1992. It's pretty hard to see any credible political party

:04:58.:05:02.

trying to overturn it and survive as a government. It's very interesting.

:05:03.:05:09.

We are in uncharted territory with Article 50. When referendums have

:05:10.:05:18.

not gone the way that people have wanted in Ireland, they have just

:05:19.:05:22.

held them again. That's happened twice. It happened to the Danes over

:05:23.:05:27.

Maastricht. What happens is the mood changes. You do have buyers remorse.

:05:28.:05:33.

A lot of people who didn't go out to vote the first time to go out the

:05:34.:05:36.

second time and you sometimes come back with some kind of

:05:37.:05:40.

renegotiation. With this one, nobody knows exactly what the referendum

:05:41.:05:44.

means. They know people voted to leave the EU, but they don't know in

:05:45.:05:48.

what way, what kind of relationship they will be in the future. That's

:05:49.:05:57.

the area where it could become very, very interesting. Even if Britain

:05:58.:05:59.

doesn't decide to overturn the referendum outcome, it could end up

:06:00.:06:01.

being a different situation to the one a lot of people who voted Leave

:06:02.:06:06.

expected. There are a lot of reasons people like giving us for them

:06:07.:06:12.

wanting to leave. It might be to do with sovereignty, not feeling we

:06:13.:06:15.

have to listen to this remote place called Brussels any longer, and we

:06:16.:06:21.

get better democracy back. That's what a lot of people say. In

:06:22.:06:25.

constitutional terms, there are all sorts of ways it could work out. We

:06:26.:06:30.

were talking to Toby Young last night and he was saying we could

:06:31.:06:34.

have associate membership, which has been talked about. A lot of people

:06:35.:06:41.

think what we would always end up with was a associate membership. The

:06:42.:06:45.

referendum has decided we'll have that outside the EU rather than in

:06:46.:06:50.

it. The negotiations we are about to have in some ways will be like what

:06:51.:06:54.

we might have ended up with if we'd stayed in and things had gradually

:06:55.:06:57.

changed over a couple of years. There's a lot of evidence other EU

:06:58.:07:01.

countries might start to think about freedom of movement as well. It's

:07:02.:07:08.

also what we are able to negotiate with the other 27 members. That's

:07:09.:07:12.

right. It's difficult because we've had this shock result and everybody

:07:13.:07:15.

is bracing themselves and thinking what does it mean and where do we go

:07:16.:07:20.

next? We will get some clarity on the planned on Monday when I guessed

:07:21.:07:24.

David Cameron will give a statement to Parliament about what happens

:07:25.:07:29.

next. There is a suggestion about do we invoke Article 50 or through an

:07:30.:07:34.

act of Parliament. At the same time we're having pressure put on us by

:07:35.:07:38.

the other European leaders to get on with it and the question remains

:07:39.:07:44.

about what the wiggle room will be. And who cares what David Cameron

:07:45.:07:48.

thinks? If Boris Johnson Michael Gove disagree with David Cameron,

:07:49.:07:53.

who is now in charge? What happens when Boris Johnson and Michael Gove

:07:54.:07:56.

disagree with each other? That's what we'll see in the coming months.

:07:57.:08:01.

We must look at the Observer and think about what's happening with

:08:02.:08:06.

Labour. Hilary Benn seeks to depose Corbyn. Jeremy Corbyn has said he

:08:07.:08:14.

would stand again. That's the problem Labour faces. Unless Jeremy

:08:15.:08:17.

Corbyn walks away, it's difficult to get rid of him because ultimately

:08:18.:08:22.

the party rules state that if there is a vote of no confidence, he can

:08:23.:08:26.

go back on the ballot paper and he will just do that and win again. He

:08:27.:08:31.

said that emphatically this morning. Who wants to stand against him? We

:08:32.:08:35.

might have a general election in the next year and if you're the Labour

:08:36.:08:40.

Party candidate, you'll probably get massacred. If you want to lead

:08:41.:08:45.

Labour, you're probably better off waiting for Corbyn to lose the

:08:46.:08:47.

general election and come in afterwards. Any shuddering in the

:08:48.:08:55.

Taoiseach? They are shuddering. He's been shuddering more less all year

:08:56.:08:58.

because your most lost the last election and is just about hanging

:08:59.:09:03.

on. It hasn't been straightforward. With all of this stuff, a lot of the

:09:04.:09:13.

Europeans would like this thing to move very, very quickly. The French

:09:14.:09:16.

Foreign Minister said he wanted David Cameron out within days and

:09:17.:09:19.

doesn't see what everybody is hanging about four. I think there

:09:20.:09:22.

will be pressure to move things as quickly as possible. That's it for

:09:23.:09:25.

the moment. We'll be back for another look at the papers at

:09:26.:09:31.

11:30pm for now, thank you all very much indeed. It's time for the

:09:32.:09:34.

weather. Hello. It was a very lively start

:09:35.:09:51.

the weekend for many parts of the UK. The radar sequence
