to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

:00:15.:00:24.

With me is political reporter for the Huffington Post

:00:25.:00:26.

Martha Gill, and columnist for The Herald David Torrance.

:00:27.:00:30.

Nice to see you both. Lots to talk about, particularly dominated by

:00:31.:00:40.

Boris Johnson. The FT leads with the Bank

:00:41.:00:42.

of England's reaction to the economic fallout of Brexit,

:00:43.:00:44.

outlined in Mark Carney's second speech since the UK's

:00:45.:00:46.

vote to leave the EU. The Independent runs a teary-eyed

picture of Boris Johnson and uses the Shakespearean Julius Caesar

:00:50.:00:51.

analogy to describe his chances of Tory leadership being

:00:52.:00:54.

quashed by Michael Gove. The Metro likens the dramatic twists

:00:55.:00:56.

and turns of the Tory party's leadership race to the popular

:00:57.:00:58.

HBO series Game of Thrones. The Daily Express focuses

:00:59.:01:02.

on the shock announcement from Michael Gove that he would

:01:03.:01:04.

throw his hat into the ring to enter Number 10 and

:01:05.:01:07.

lead Britain out of the EU. The Telegraph leads with

:01:08.:01:10.

the reactions by Boris Johnson's allies to what they described

:01:11.:01:12.

as a "calculated plot" by Michael Gove to destroy

:01:13.:01:15.

the former London Mayor's hopes The Sun describes Boris Johnson's

:01:16.:01:17.

political fate as "Brexicution" and says Theresa May is now

:01:18.:01:24.

the favourite to become And The Guardian too features

:01:25.:01:32.

the tussle for the Tory The paper describes

:01:33.:01:35.

Micheal Gove's surprise entry Remember those days when you were

:01:36.:01:42.

scratching around for a headline. We will start with Metro, the real Game

:01:43.:01:51.

of Thrones, after Michael Gove sees off Boris Johnson. Already exciting,

:01:52.:01:56.

then this happened. Two big plot twists, the first that Gove would be

:01:57.:02:03.

running, thinking that him and Boris Johnson would run as a ticket,

:02:04.:02:08.

taking a lot of votes from Tory membership, but Gove said he would

:02:09.:02:13.

run and then Boris said he would not. That was the most shocking

:02:14.:02:23.

surprise, I think. Let's look at the I. Rather detected looking borders

:02:24.:02:32.

there. Didn't look like he had had a proper shave. -- rather dejected

:02:33.:02:41.

looking Boris Johnson. Deftly some bits he has missed thanks to that

:02:42.:02:46.

close-up. I'm sure he had quite a lot on his mind this morning. As the

:02:47.:02:51.

headline alludes to, it is Shakespearean in nature. Tory

:02:52.:02:56.

leadership races have been dramatic. He actually quoted from Julius

:02:57.:03:00.

Caesar in his declaration that he was going to run, I think most

:03:01.:03:10.

people miss it, he referred to align spoken by someone just before the

:03:11.:03:14.

Burchill from Brutus. This was very much on his mind. And we had that

:03:15.:03:20.

e-mail that was leaked. -- just before the betrayal.

:03:21.:03:27.

And we had Michael Gove's wave scene to get a good deal. Should we have

:03:28.:03:35.

seen this coming? -- Michael Gove's wife had said to get a good deal.

:03:36.:03:40.

The result was a degree of some sinless and Susan -- a degree of

:03:41.:03:48.

cynicism. Was this planned all along? Was it a last-minute thing we

:03:49.:03:51.

he realised his friend and colleague was not up to the job? I don't think

:03:52.:03:56.

that latter scenario was credible, there must be more to it, and that

:03:57.:04:03.

e-mail appears to suggest a degree of planning behind-the-scenes. And

:04:04.:04:09.

the Mirror, justice, it says, with photograph of Johnson, and strange

:04:10.:04:15.

to hear him referred to as that, as he is generally Boris. Standing

:04:16.:04:22.

behind a pleasant. Lord Heseltine coming out with incredible criticism

:04:23.:04:29.

of him today. Yes, yes. I can't quite remember exactly, but he was

:04:30.:04:33.

incredibly critical and sort of said he will have to live with the shame

:04:34.:04:38.

of what he has done. He has betrayed his country and party and torn it

:04:39.:04:45.

completely apart. When people hear that, the then said that borders

:04:46.:04:51.

would never come back from this, some speculation this morning, when

:04:52.:04:57.

Boris said he was not going to rant, that he was doing something quite

:04:58.:05:02.

clever, backing away from what will be a difficult time as Prime

:05:03.:05:06.

Minister, then he could perhaps rally some support from disgruntled

:05:07.:05:11.

people, of which there will be many, and come back again. -- not going to

:05:12.:05:19.

run. Heseltine putting the boot in. One choice quote from the Mirror. He

:05:20.:05:33.

leaked the Leeds bleeped the -- it said he bleeped the country.

:05:34.:05:41.

Some feelings amongst MPs about the leadership. I asked how many MPs

:05:42.:05:47.

supported Boris Johnson and the best guess was around 12. Crucial detail.

:05:48.:05:59.

Gove was there for ensuring ... I heard 74 Gove. But the Times had a

:06:00.:06:08.

story suggesting a deal was made with Theresa May that she would set

:06:09.:06:15.

down be taught -- she would step down before 2020. But some denials

:06:16.:06:19.

about that. Act of midnight treachery from the Daily Telegraph.

:06:20.:06:28.

The suggestion is Michael Gove was sort of an carriage, shall we say,

:06:29.:06:34.

to do this. And how many friends do politicians think they have amongst

:06:35.:06:39.

their own ranks? If you are in it for the prior, you will look after

:06:40.:06:45.

yourself. The old adage was, it might even have been Alan Clark, who

:06:46.:06:50.

said there are no true friends from politics, and the better friends may

:06:51.:06:53.

be from the benches opposite, not behind. Her hats this confirms that.

:06:54.:06:59.

Friends of the former mayor have said there is a very deep pit

:07:00.:07:04.

reserved in hell for Michael Gove. This is the other aspect, that Gove

:07:05.:07:10.

successfully pushed Boris aside, but how much damage has he done to his

:07:11.:07:15.

own candidacy doing it so brutally? And people in the country less

:07:16.:07:20.

worried about this making and breaking of friendships, whether one

:07:21.:07:24.

person has betrayed another in the party, whether they are standing by

:07:25.:07:27.

principles than doing the right thing for the country, which seems

:07:28.:07:32.

to be someone no one seems to be considering. Roger Mosey, former

:07:33.:07:39.

head of television news, now head of cell in college, hello! He said

:07:40.:07:43.

Michael Gove was a reporter Ron BBC Radio for bringing a reporter Ron

:07:44.:07:46.

BBC Radio for bringing askew about a Tory leadership election. --

:07:47.:07:55.

bringing the scoop. And The Guardian saying that Boris cannot provide the

:07:56.:07:58.

leadership. Then very different tone from Theresa May, saying she just

:07:59.:08:08.

gets on with the job. Betraying herself as a steady hand. Yes, and

:08:09.:08:14.

she did that successfully. Even the optics of the speech, in a library,

:08:15.:08:21.

not flashy like Boris, and fascinating to see her tax to the

:08:22.:08:24.

centre, dropping the previous support of getting rid of the

:08:25.:08:29.

European Convention on Human Rights, showing a general shift, not just

:08:30.:08:33.

with Theresa May, but Stephen Crabb and others, pitching to the centre,

:08:34.:08:39.

one nation, healing the country and attracting crucially as broad a

:08:40.:08:43.

section from the party as possible. And the Daily Mail saying a party in

:08:44.:08:50.

and why it must be Theresa May. Significant when a newspaper puts

:08:51.:08:54.

their weight behind you, isn't it? Theresa May has played this well,

:08:55.:09:01.

she is in the centre, known to be trucked up on immigration, reaching

:09:02.:09:06.

to the right, then tacking to the left crucially going back on her

:09:07.:09:10.

idea of scrapping the Human Rights Act. So she is very much playing it

:09:11.:09:17.

very well. And both she and Nicola Sturgeon I think, whilst they may be

:09:18.:09:23.

playing as many parlour games as the others, they have managed to sort of

:09:24.:09:27.

look as if they are not, which I think is our feat in itself. And

:09:28.:09:36.

very quickly, the Sun, from Brexit 020. Tory bloodbath. -- from hero to

:09:37.:09:51.

zero. The idea of a female head of state, prime ministers, and in

:09:52.:09:53.

Northern Ireland, it is quite something. And moving on from Boris

:09:54.:10:00.

Johnson. Mark Carney talks about economic post traumatic stress. I

:10:01.:10:06.

did tell you it wouldn't be good. He went on to say that there is a very

:10:07.:10:17.

flexible nature to the UK economy, but the Lions on graphs you would

:10:18.:10:20.

like going up will probably go in the other direction. It is reckless

:10:21.:10:28.

truth telling, as called by the FT, but he is one of the most impressive

:10:29.:10:33.

figures immediately after the vote, and this is more of the same,

:10:34.:10:37.

softening people up, getting them prepare for what could be coming

:10:38.:10:44.

down the line, and Nigel Farage's typically insightful economic

:10:45.:10:46.

analysis that Mark Carney was once again talking down Britain. But the

:10:47.:10:52.

thing is, the talked about Armageddon, the Remain camp, and you

:10:53.:10:57.

think it is this sudden thing that happens overnight, or in a moment,

:10:58.:11:03.

but of course, although there was that reaction to the pound on the

:11:04.:11:08.

markets, things have moved again. The Armageddon people might have

:11:09.:11:12.

envisaged, and if you are not an economist out can you, that didn't

:11:13.:11:17.

happen in the way that people thought it would, with that

:11:18.:11:25.

language. On Friday, I mean. Fine, but the damage has been done and

:11:26.:11:30.

will continue with this period of uncertainty, the worst work you can

:11:31.:11:36.

hear as an investor. You hear people about investment in science cooling

:11:37.:11:41.

off. Crucial art in the sector for Britain. -- crucial research and

:11:42.:11:48.

development sector for Britain. Who knows when that will change? That is

:11:49.:11:54.

all we have time for. Gerry Peyton has called it WestEnders! Also known

:11:55.:12:05.

as BBC Rahm. We need that dramatic doof-doof! Thank you both for your

:12:06.:12:15.

time. Coming up next, the weather. -- it is also known as BBC The

:12:16.:12:22.
