:00:00. > :00:24.Welcome to a slightly earlier look at what will be in the newspapers

:00:25. > :00:30.tomorrow morning. With beers and assistant editor from The Times and

:00:31. > :00:38.the editor of the Politics Home website. We are little early but we

:00:39. > :00:42.have enough newspapers. We can begin with the Sunday Telegraph. If we

:00:43. > :00:46.thought last week was going to be busy and unpredictable, we could

:00:47. > :00:52.have a new Prime Minister by the end of the week. The Queen says we

:00:53. > :00:56.should try to be calm and collected, but that will be a problem as it is

:00:57. > :01:03.extraordinary what is happening just now. The focus has moved to what

:01:04. > :01:08.should be the sisterhood in the Conservative Party, but that does

:01:09. > :01:12.not seem to be because coming up is Andrea led some who sees herself as

:01:13. > :01:19.heir to Thatcher. She is steely in her determination and she is

:01:20. > :01:25.determined that Theresa May will not be anointed the new leader. She has

:01:26. > :01:28.given an interview to the Sunday Telegraph and says she is the

:01:29. > :01:33.preferred candidate of the Eurosceptics. She is a woman that a

:01:34. > :01:42.lot of people had not heard of a week ago. Not outside the

:01:43. > :01:48.Westminster bubble. She is not a hassle name. There was a push in the

:01:49. > :01:54.paper this morning and thought that given the level of support Theresa

:01:55. > :01:59.May has in the parliamentary party, she is miles in front, the rest

:02:00. > :02:05.should just drop out as she should be given the job. She could be Prime

:02:06. > :02:11.Minister by Friday. I do not think that will happen. I think there has

:02:12. > :02:15.to be a choice between someone who campaigned to remain against someone

:02:16. > :02:21.who remained were Brexit. Brexit one. If they are the last to it will

:02:22. > :02:31.be interesting what the Tory grassroots want. In a bad piece of

:02:32. > :02:35.language in this Telegraph piece, he was described as the suicide bomber.

:02:36. > :02:42.That is a tasteless remark. That was That is a tasteless remark. That was

:02:43. > :02:51.for getting rid of Boris Johnson. Point-mac where is the, on the front

:02:52. > :02:56.of The Mail with an unflattering observation. Rachel Johnson showing

:02:57. > :03:06.thicker than water. She, unlike her thicker than water. She, unlike her

:03:07. > :03:10.brother, wanted to remain. What is more interesting is what The Mail

:03:11. > :03:20.have done below. It is a remarkable story. They have uncovered a quote

:03:21. > :03:29.that Andrea made a few years ago. I know the political editor here and

:03:30. > :03:36.here is very thorough. Only three years ago, Andrea said that she did

:03:37. > :03:43.not think the UK should leave the EU. The Howard to be held up as the

:03:44. > :03:48.arch leader Brexit who will carry the flame going forward is quite

:03:49. > :03:53.something. I do not remember her making that quotes because she is

:03:54. > :04:01.painting herself as a long-time Eurosceptic. No one was listening to

:04:02. > :04:04.what she was saying. The Mail on Sunday have gone through everything

:04:05. > :04:12.she has said about the EU. It is very embarrassing for her because

:04:13. > :04:19.she's betraying herself as a die on the wall Eurosceptic. I remember

:04:20. > :04:27.still a backbencher and she had a still a backbencher and she had a

:04:28. > :04:33.very salty exchange with George Osborne when he tried to get her not

:04:34. > :04:40.to join the rebels on a Europe issue and she told him in no uncertain

:04:41. > :04:47.terms where he could get off. This kind of steely thing, it does fit

:04:48. > :04:53.with her political performance. Someone said she is like Margaret

:04:54. > :04:59.Thatcher but without the self-doubt, which encapsulate her. This is all

:05:00. > :05:09.about the personalities on the front pages and none of that is about the

:05:10. > :05:11.impact. Given the other things... There is another big story on the

:05:12. > :05:16.longer term impact of all of this, longer term impact of all of this,

:05:17. > :05:22.on and what will happen to the people who wanted to leave. That

:05:23. > :05:26.makes the quote from three years ago interesting because that is what she

:05:27. > :05:31.is pointing to. She says it would be a disaster for our economy and it

:05:32. > :05:40.would lead to a decade of political uncertainty. I am surprised this

:05:41. > :05:42.quote was not found by the remain campaign, especially if it had been

:05:43. > :05:48.brought out because she was part of brought out because she was part of

:05:49. > :05:53.the leave team on the TV debates. It is only really being seen now. That

:05:54. > :05:58.would've been a good bit of ammunition to use. We can move on to

:05:59. > :06:08.The Observer, who have the same story. Everyone thinks it is moving

:06:09. > :06:13.at this or and quickly. I spoke to Tory MP at lunchtime who said that

:06:14. > :06:20.when Angela Leadsom set her hat in the ring the best she hoped for is

:06:21. > :06:24.Chancellor, but now they are thinking it is possible she could go

:06:25. > :06:35.further. Do not count Mr Gove out yet. He does seem to have annoyed a

:06:36. > :06:42.Johnson especially. The Conservative Johnson especially. The Conservative

:06:43. > :06:52.Party is known for being ruthless, more ruthless than Labour. Even died

:06:53. > :06:56.in the wool Conservatives have been shocked by Michael Gove's

:06:57. > :07:03.ruthlessness this week and I think it might have backfired on him. The

:07:04. > :07:08.papers are suggesting his campaign is fading. Maybe these two ladies

:07:09. > :07:15.should agree that one of them will be Prime Minister and one for the

:07:16. > :07:22.Chancellor. I know that sounds simplistic, but I think we need to

:07:23. > :07:29.become more calm impacted. It is like watching a boxed set accepted

:07:30. > :07:35.as real. White-mac other people are saying they cannot keep up with

:07:36. > :07:42.this. What is happening to the economy? I'm trying to be sensible.

:07:43. > :07:47.We have been distracted by the personality politics rather than the

:07:48. > :07:53.nuts and bolts. You mentioned labour. An interesting story at the

:07:54. > :07:59.bottom of The Observer. They are alleging the Jeremy Corbyn's aids

:08:00. > :08:04.are refusing to let the Lido be alone with Tom Watson, his deputy.

:08:05. > :08:11.-- to let the leader. They think that he will try to bully him into

:08:12. > :08:15.resigning. This week has been claim and counterclaim and gossip behind

:08:16. > :08:26.the scenes. Do you have quite bored with you right up who is the shadow

:08:27. > :08:34.member for each job? One person said they would do it and then they

:08:35. > :08:41.resign. Last time I checked she was still the Shadow Home Secretary.

:08:42. > :08:51.There was a suggestion that Tom Watson had tried to get Jeremy

:08:52. > :08:57.denying it and saying it is rubbish denying it and saying it is rubbish

:08:58. > :09:04.and Germany did meet with Tom Watson twice this week. -- Jeremy Corbyn

:09:05. > :09:09.did meet with. Others might dispute that. It is remarkable. We have a

:09:10. > :09:17.leader it is alleged that cannot meet with his deputy.

:09:18. > :09:26.So who's going to make the piece first? The Tories or Labour? Let's

:09:27. > :09:30.pause from the politics and talk about the practical economics. You

:09:31. > :09:36.said that if anyone said this award again you would scream, so I will

:09:37. > :09:46.not say that again but the Sunday Post has come up with a different

:09:47. > :09:51.word. There is even Texit, which is Texas leaving the rest of the USA!

:09:52. > :09:57.This is about what it means to people and that people will start to

:09:58. > :10:02.think my future does not lie here, particularly people in Scotland who

:10:03. > :10:08.have seen themselves as profoundly European as well as probe Scots.

:10:09. > :10:12.They say they are leaving and planning future elsewhere in a kind

:10:13. > :10:16.of rain drain that they cannot afford, and in the kind of rain

:10:17. > :10:22.drain that has so much heart places like Spain and Italy, what the

:10:23. > :10:27.bosses of those businesses said, they have lost a generation of

:10:28. > :10:31.talent. In all this uncertainty which people really think is

:10:32. > :10:37.somewhat the way politicians acting adolescent way, probably even

:10:38. > :10:44.younger than that! Like toddlers. What does it mean for them and for

:10:45. > :10:49.their future. You were right, the Sunday Post is a Scottish newspaper

:10:50. > :10:54.and the feeling in Scotland, speaking to friends and family, is

:10:55. > :10:57.one of absolute shock. They had as a European outlook north of the border

:10:58. > :11:05.for a host of reasons and people are very angry at the prospect of being

:11:06. > :11:08.taken out of the EU. There is talk of another independence referendum

:11:09. > :11:14.and the boost that may give to the independence campaign, but it is

:11:15. > :11:20.worrying. If doctors, nurses and midwives, the people we rely on. And

:11:21. > :11:25.they already have to boost the numbers going into training because

:11:26. > :11:32.we don't get enough in. The question is, where will they go? Australia,

:11:33. > :11:39.Canada... We have to worry about the impact of this, I am the mother of a

:11:40. > :11:45.20-something son and they feel disenfranchised almost because they

:11:46. > :11:52.think, older people have voted and made a decision about future which

:11:53. > :11:57.is the decision we want. And I was speaking to a friend last night, his

:11:58. > :12:04.mum and dad are Irish and his brothers both bolted to leave and

:12:05. > :12:09.now the reality has dawned they are looking at getting Irish passports

:12:10. > :12:12.just in case. A lot of people are picking up their family trees to

:12:13. > :12:18.check if they have grandparents who might be enough to get them in. The

:12:19. > :12:29.is anecdotal evidence of people voting Leave and thinking it would

:12:30. > :12:36.end up Remain. Is there a buyers remorse type thing? As they are not

:12:37. > :12:39.a danger that by taking a historical tone, which some could say

:12:40. > :12:44.journalists have adopted over the last week, that actually we are

:12:45. > :12:47.making the situation worse. In a sense the status quo at what we have

:12:48. > :12:51.months or years. It is therefore months or years. It is

:12:52. > :12:57.possible that business can continue possible that business can continue

:12:58. > :13:01.as it has done. They've is no reason at this point it has to make such a

:13:02. > :13:06.dramatic difference. I am already beginning to yield of companies

:13:07. > :13:12.thinking about leasing premises. The thinking about leasing premises. The

:13:13. > :13:16.errors in the New York Times today all the cities that would like to

:13:17. > :13:17.take on the City of London's mantle as the premier financial centre of

:13:18. > :13:29.the world, and the mayor of Paris the world, and the mayor of Paris

:13:30. > :13:32.has already said that any sign businesses are leaving London, Paris

:13:33. > :13:37.will have those businesses, it is extraordinarily good for them. The

:13:38. > :13:44.photograph on the front of the Observer, Caroline Aherne who died

:13:45. > :13:48.today at the age of 52. Let's face it, a lot of our time over the last

:13:49. > :13:54.few years has been spent dealing with various health problems. It is

:13:55. > :14:00.nice to remember the laughs she has given us as a performer and writer.

:14:01. > :14:07.What an extraordinarily diverse comedian she was. An amazing actress

:14:08. > :14:11.as well as being very funny, and everybody can quote one amazing

:14:12. > :14:20.Caroline Aherne joke. How many people can you say that of? That is

:14:21. > :14:25.the thing, and in the 90s she was huge, Royle Family will go down as

:14:26. > :14:28.one of the greatest comedies ever created, and sadly dealing with

:14:29. > :14:36.health problems in recent years but she will be remembered fondly and

:14:37. > :14:42.there's a real sense of shock. Thank you both very much for that. Ending

:14:43. > :14:45.only slightly sombre note but we will remember the jokes in the next

:14:46. > :14:46.hour. Coming up next,
