:00:17. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
:00:20. > :00:22.With me are the former Conservative minister Esther McVey
:00:23. > :00:26.and the Independent columnist James Rampton.
:00:27. > :00:33.Welcomer Apple TV. The front pages. Starting with the times. It claims
:00:34. > :00:38.that supporters of the Theresa May are furious that one of the biggest
:00:39. > :00:42.Ukip donors is backing Andrea Leadsom in the race to be the new
:00:43. > :00:47.leader of the Conservative Party. The FT says George Osborne is
:00:48. > :00:51.planning to cut corporation tax to stop businesses leaving Britain
:00:52. > :00:56.after the Brexit. The Metro at Boris on the front page sing he is sorry
:00:57. > :01:01.he once trusted Michael Gove. The Telegraph also as Boris. In his
:01:02. > :01:07.column for the paper, the former Mayor of London says the government
:01:08. > :01:13.has not emphasised the bright side of Brexit. Tensions in Labour make
:01:14. > :01:20.the headline for the Guardian. Jeremy Corbyn is seeking to avoid a
:01:21. > :01:35.split in the party. There was a word missing. The i, boys, boys, it says.
:01:36. > :01:41.Tories edge toward a two woman contest. There we have them both.
:01:42. > :01:42.Theresa May and Andrea Leadsom. There are men in this competition
:01:43. > :01:47.but they aren't getting as much of a but they aren't getting as much of a
:01:48. > :01:56.look in. Yes, they are, in a different way. You have Michael
:01:57. > :02:00.Gove, Stephen Crabb, the Fox. A great set of individuals, all of
:02:01. > :02:04.them could be administered by The i is focusing on what would be a very
:02:05. > :02:10.interesting way forward, especially if you look at the other women
:02:11. > :02:13.leaders around the world whether it is Angela Merkel one Nicola Sturgeon
:02:14. > :02:26.or Hillary Clinton. Are we moving to an era of women at the top of
:02:27. > :02:34.politics? I am not the spokesperson for all women. It is interesting
:02:35. > :02:41.that the Tory MP Anna Zoo Bridge said she was tired of the boys
:02:42. > :02:45.mucking things up. Boys have behaved appallingly. Someone said it was
:02:46. > :02:49.like student union antics between Michael Gove and Boris Johnson. They
:02:50. > :02:52.were both in the Oxford union that had that are of a childhood
:02:53. > :02:58.playground fight that they were going through. I do think that the
:02:59. > :03:03.women who have emerged here have come across as far more grown up and
:03:04. > :03:08.statesman and sensible and all the things you will need when you
:03:09. > :03:14.entered these crucial negotiations. There is a difference between them
:03:15. > :03:21.as well. It is quite clear, one was on the inside, one was on the site
:03:22. > :03:27.and they have different approaches. One thing is that Andrea Leadsom has
:03:28. > :03:33.said it should be a Brexit supporter who does the negotiation. Others
:03:34. > :03:38.have said we need to heal the country and the party as well. To be
:03:39. > :03:43.fair, Theresa May did not play a high-profile role in either of the
:03:44. > :03:49.two sides, although she was a premium campaigner. You have five
:03:50. > :03:55.very different candidates but I think it is the women who have
:03:56. > :04:00.compared and been more low-key than the men.
:04:01. > :04:06.Whoever is the frontrunner never seems to ever get the job and with
:04:07. > :04:10.the Tory party it is frequently the underdog who comes out. It does
:04:11. > :04:14.complete our members who will choose whether they think the antics with
:04:15. > :04:20.the boys was wrong or whether Michael Gove who saw himself as a
:04:21. > :04:25.real purist did it out of principle because he believed in it for the
:04:26. > :04:30.country. Andrea Leadsom defends the U-turn she made about three years
:04:31. > :04:37.ago. She thought it would be a bad idea for Britain to leave the EU.
:04:38. > :04:42.Three years is a long time. She says she has been on a journey and that
:04:43. > :04:45.is very enough. I do think that might be a problem for her but I
:04:46. > :04:50.agree that Theresa May, even though she was for the name she only give
:04:51. > :04:56.one speech and was seen as the main light. That will make more
:04:57. > :05:00.acceptable. Lots of Tories will have been on the lenient side as well so
:05:01. > :05:07.she might heal the party but it is interesting, this bottom line, Boris
:05:08. > :05:15.supporters: it drove a Machiavellian psychopath. Insults are still flying
:05:16. > :05:21.even though they are killing each other's chances but they can stop.
:05:22. > :05:31.Boris says he is sorry he trusted Grove. I suppose, a leadership
:05:32. > :05:38.contest is in the offing so people will look out for themselves. I was
:05:39. > :05:44.reminded of this quote from the forest that you should never trust
:05:45. > :05:52.your country as much as your friends. That is something that has
:05:53. > :05:56.become clear. Gove has just seen -- seemed quite duplicitous. Johnson
:05:57. > :06:00.has used that word because they were so close and Gove has said it is out
:06:01. > :06:09.of Judy. There are many people who seem as untrustworthy because of the
:06:10. > :06:13.way they treated Johnson. There are several things that lead up to this
:06:14. > :06:17.so that was supposed to have been a letter or a tweet that without the
:06:18. > :06:21.Andrea Leadsom that she would be given a position but that didn't
:06:22. > :06:26.happen. There was an article in the Telegraph which Boris had written
:06:27. > :06:30.with a different if you are on where the red lines would be drawn and,
:06:31. > :06:40.therefore, this came at the end of that. The leaked e-mail. People are
:06:41. > :06:45.saying what was going on? I guess we will never know. I have read
:06:46. > :06:49.different stories. Andrea Leadsom, going on a journey, only ten years
:06:50. > :06:55.ago there was only one MP in Parliament he wanted to come out, so
:06:56. > :07:03.we have all been on a journey. I have only ever known her as a
:07:04. > :07:07.tracksuit supporter. It is like they say about Michael Heseltine, he
:07:08. > :07:19.wields the knife will never wear the crown. They are now left in a pool
:07:20. > :07:27.of blood fighting each other. Let's look at Andrea Leadsom getting some
:07:28. > :07:31.support. The Huffington Post is saying she is refusing to root out
:07:32. > :07:43.Nigel Farage being on her Brexit talks team. She is just saying... I
:07:44. > :07:49.am convinced there is enough talent on the Tory benches to find whoever
:07:50. > :07:57.she needs. One of the allies of Nigel Farage, Aaron Banks, who left
:07:58. > :08:01.one of the leaf campaigns, he is a successful currency trader and
:08:02. > :08:09.commodity trader, he says his money is on Andrea Leadsom. I think they
:08:10. > :08:13.have massively spun this headline saying she refuses to rule out Nigel
:08:14. > :08:18.Farage, but that is true because Andrew Marr asked about including
:08:19. > :08:23.Nigel Farage and she said I don't want to get into good would do what.
:08:24. > :08:30.She had the opportunity to said she would not use ranch. Wouldn't that
:08:31. > :08:37.be clever to use. Get him into the tent to shape what the departure
:08:38. > :08:42.would look like. He has said he would like to be involved with any
:08:43. > :08:47.talks because he seems he can tell you where the Achilles heels for the
:08:48. > :08:53.witnesses are in Europe, how we could forward. If you are looking at
:08:54. > :08:57.him as a person with a lot of information and insight information,
:08:58. > :09:04.he could beat somebody you might call upon. I guess if he was the
:09:05. > :09:11.only man for 17 years he has been sent this and the country has turned
:09:12. > :09:22.around. Would the EU taken seriously? He was a good last week
:09:23. > :09:28.in the European Parliament. The way he crowed was highly offensive and I
:09:29. > :09:36.think he has lost a lot of credibility in the EU, if he had
:09:37. > :09:46.any. I don't think you can be part of the team. Let's get the Daily
:09:47. > :09:54.Express. A bid to lock you exit. This is a plea in lodged by a law
:09:55. > :09:58.firm. Is this to stop the exit? Isn't that just to say that an act
:09:59. > :10:11.of Parliament that Augustine requires an act of Parliament to
:10:12. > :10:15.take us out? What they are saying is they are launching a bid to stop the
:10:16. > :10:21.government pulling out of the EU. That is what it says on the front
:10:22. > :10:28.page. At the end of the day, you have had the biggest ever in
:10:29. > :10:36.Britain. People came out in huge numbers to say we want to come out
:10:37. > :10:48.of the EU and, therefore, everybody was bright enough to decide
:10:49. > :10:51.themselves to come out. A out of leave voters said it is about
:10:52. > :10:55.sovereignty, bringing powers back to our own Parliament and the
:10:56. > :11:00.constitutional arrangements that article 50 refers to would be, in
:11:01. > :11:05.this case, to repeat an act of Parliament, which requires an act of
:11:06. > :11:11.Parliament, which requires the houses of parliament to look at it.
:11:12. > :11:17.Just as a process. All of the bad losers are looking at ways to
:11:18. > :11:22.overturn democracy. If it is following due process, that would be
:11:23. > :11:25.done anyway because it has to be. Parliament and the British
:11:26. > :11:32.Parliament is good at following due process. We have servants -- civil
:11:33. > :11:40.servants to do that. It is the voice of the people and it is what we have
:11:41. > :11:43.today. Osborne puts corporation tax cut at heart of Brexit recovery
:11:44. > :11:50.plan. This might cause problems on the continent again. The EU is
:11:51. > :11:53.accusing him of sparking a race to the bottom because that rate would
:11:54. > :11:58.be almost as though as Ireland which has attracted a lack of investment
:11:59. > :12:04.in their system, famously Google operate out of there. I think that
:12:05. > :12:09.is a danger that, in this crucial moment when we are trying to make
:12:10. > :12:14.these vital negotiations with Brussels, if we do something that
:12:15. > :12:19.annoys them, is that going to put us on the wrong foot? Is inevitably
:12:20. > :12:23.going to need to a more await style arrangement of free market and free
:12:24. > :12:28.movement of people which is more or less what we have already and is
:12:29. > :12:32.perplexing to me. If we are trying to say it will still be OK to run
:12:33. > :12:38.the business in Britain, that is the kind of thing you would want the
:12:39. > :12:42.government to be doing? People have always wondered corporation tax
:12:43. > :12:48.down. That is part of a five point plan for getting investment from
:12:49. > :12:51.China, increasing bank lending, investing in the northern
:12:52. > :12:58.powerhouse. People will look to how can you get low corporation tax. You
:12:59. > :13:02.have to balance the books. Many people have looked at this. I don't
:13:03. > :13:08.think this would be inappropriate. It would just be the sort of thing
:13:09. > :13:14.that we can do to ensure that we have a buoyant economy and,
:13:15. > :13:19.remember, the FTSE 100 is 3.7 points higher than it was before the
:13:20. > :13:26.referendum. I would like to look at a story, a depressing one, coming
:13:27. > :13:33.from Iraq today with attacks. Isis exploits Ramadan. Two big bomb
:13:34. > :13:39.attacks took place in Baghdad when people are breaking their fast and
:13:40. > :13:42.out on the streets. There is a shocking quote from a spokesman of
:13:43. > :13:46.the Islamic State sync jihadists should make it with God 's
:13:47. > :13:49.permission a month of pain for infidels everywhere. The fact that
:13:50. > :13:57.he invokes the name of God- shocking. Infidels, these are
:13:58. > :14:01.Muslims... They are. Many Muslims were killed in Orlando and Istanbul
:14:02. > :14:08.and now, sadly, Baghdad this morning. How can they be infidels? I
:14:09. > :14:12.know there are different sects within Islam that it is
:14:13. > :14:15.extraordinary that it should be religion or some perverted form of
:14:16. > :14:24.religion powering it. I find it distressing. It is murder on a mass
:14:25. > :14:30.scale in a cowardly way at a religious period in time. Thank you
:14:31. > :14:37.very much. We will look at those stories and some other once again
:14:38. > :14:43.with James and Esther at half past 11. I hope you will join us. If you
:14:44. > :14:56.have any comments send them to us on twitter.
:14:57. > :15:02.Good evening. It has been a largely fine day across much of the country
:15:03. > :15:04.and we are in for a love of dry weather for much of the week ahead.
:15:05. > :15:06.Here
