:00:00. > :00:17.Wimbledon, she claims her 22nd grand slam title.
:00:18. > :00:24.Hello, welcome to our look at what is ahead in the papers. With me in
:00:25. > :00:27.the studio, political commentator Joe Phillips, and Nigel Nelson,
:00:28. > :00:33.political editor of the Sunday Mirror. Welcome to you both. What we
:00:34. > :00:39.have so far, the Observer, Labour plunged into their greatest crisis
:00:40. > :00:44.for generation, is a leadership bid is launched against Jeremy Corbyn.
:00:45. > :00:50.The Telegraph, senior allies of Teresa May have gone to war on
:00:51. > :00:56.Andrea Leadsom. The Sunday Times, same story, saying 20 MPs would quit
:00:57. > :01:00.the party if Andrea Leadsom wins the leadership race. The Sunday express
:01:01. > :01:04.covers the same comment saying that mothers have rounded on her and
:01:05. > :01:08.accused her of weapon arising parenthood in a fight to become
:01:09. > :01:13.Prime Minister. Mail on Sunday, Cliff Richard launches a ?1 million
:01:14. > :01:17.legal action against the BBC after the broadcast of a police raid on
:01:18. > :01:21.his home. The Sunday Mirror, the splash on the news that the former
:01:22. > :01:27.Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott believes Tony Blair illegally took
:01:28. > :01:33.the country into the Iraq war. We will come to that in a moment but we
:01:34. > :01:39.kick off with the Telegraph. It has got the story about Andrea Leadsom
:01:40. > :01:43.and the whole row about what she said or did not say to the Times
:01:44. > :01:53.newspaper. What do you make of it all? That she is rather stupid. Tell
:01:54. > :01:57.us what you really think! Incredibly naive. Most people have now seen the
:01:58. > :02:02.transcript of her interview with a respect political journalist. Andrea
:02:03. > :02:08.Leadsom, saying in the interview, I don't want to make this sound nasty
:02:09. > :02:14.or unkind, which is the classic mistake, you say, with every
:02:15. > :02:19.respect, but... But if she did not want to be so, she did not need to
:02:20. > :02:25.say it. She made the classic mistake of them giving the story legs by
:02:26. > :02:28.making this rather ridiculous blaming of the messenger. If this
:02:29. > :02:31.woman seriously wants to become Prime Minister she needs to get a
:02:32. > :02:38.grip and some common sense about dealing with the press. Will it
:02:39. > :02:43.affect her chances? It will. I actually like her and think she is
:02:44. > :02:49.rather good for a Brexit supporter, a worthy challenger to Teresa May,
:02:50. > :02:57.but I agree with every word, that she has been absolutely stupid. Does
:02:58. > :03:00.it show inexperience? It does. Any experienced politician would have
:03:01. > :03:05.been on their guard for questions like that and dealt with it. And as
:03:06. > :03:09.a result she makes the mistake of not simply saying, I'm sorry if I
:03:10. > :03:13.caused any offence, instead she claimed not to say it, we all know
:03:14. > :03:17.that she did. Now the Sunday Telegraph have produced a litany of
:03:18. > :03:27.Tory woman saying there are against her. And Alan Duncan and Philip
:03:28. > :03:32.Hammond. Who broke off a conference today to actually have a go at her.
:03:33. > :03:36.We go now to your story in the Sunday Mirror. Extraordinary, John
:03:37. > :03:40.Prescott, former Deputy Prime Minister, now saying the Iraq war
:03:41. > :03:44.was illegal, in the week of the Chilcott report. The reason he is
:03:45. > :03:49.doing so is because of the Chilcott report. He does a regular column for
:03:50. > :03:54.the Sunday Mirror and has chosen to go down memory lane, he was Deputy
:03:55. > :03:59.Prime Minister at the time. He says that he now thinks the war was
:04:00. > :04:03.illegal. At the time, and the column is fascinating, it goes into what
:04:04. > :04:07.was happening in Cabinet. His main complaint was that he was not
:04:08. > :04:11.getting the paperwork, nor were the Cabinet ministers. So the infamous
:04:12. > :04:15.legal judgment from the to any general at the time, John Prescott
:04:16. > :04:20.says that no paperwork came with it. He just walked in, gave a verbal
:04:21. > :04:26.presentation, that was it. Did he say what he did not ask at the time?
:04:27. > :04:31.He said he does. He said he asked the Cabinet Secretary, ask Tony
:04:32. > :04:36.Blair, even sent in to America to try to allay his fears, and of
:04:37. > :04:44.course, he apologises for having voted for it. Speaking of the Labour
:04:45. > :04:47.Party, of course there is a Tory leadership contest, and it looks
:04:48. > :04:53.like there will be a Labour Party contest, Angela Eagle will announce
:04:54. > :04:58.on Monday, what do you make of it? You could not make it up. The last
:04:59. > :05:01.couple of weeks have been astonishing for anybody following
:05:02. > :05:06.British politics. Labour is absolutely in the midst of the most
:05:07. > :05:10.unpleasant civil war. What seems to have happened is that Angela Eagle,
:05:11. > :05:15.who has been threatening, walking around with a wet dishcloth,
:05:16. > :05:19.threatening to stand against Jeremy Corbyn, and now apparently going to
:05:20. > :05:23.do so on Monday. But what is a slightly more interesting twist is
:05:24. > :05:29.the unions, the main unions, who fund Labour, Len McCluskey, of Unite
:05:30. > :05:35.union, turning bitterly and the deputy leader, Tom Watson. And you
:05:36. > :05:39.saw the clips and the news, Jeremy saying, I am not under threat,
:05:40. > :05:45.everything is fine. But it does look chaotic to me. Most of us are old
:05:46. > :05:51.enough to remember the SDP. Could we be looking at a new party? Or the
:05:52. > :05:55.Labour Party collapsing into Mac? We are certainly looking at a
:05:56. > :05:59.realignment. Because I cannot see how the Labour Party, in Parliament,
:06:00. > :06:03.when the majority of its MPs do not support the leader, how they are
:06:04. > :06:10.actually serving their constitutional duties as Her Majesty
:06:11. > :06:14.is opposition. Can you see a split? I can, if they cannot sort this out.
:06:15. > :06:19.The party is totally dysfunctional, nowhere near any kind of opposition.
:06:20. > :06:23.The observer describes this is the greatest crisis for generations. It
:06:24. > :06:30.might at blessed be coming to an end. If Tom Watson had not said,
:06:31. > :06:34.there is no point carrying on with discussions with the unions, then we
:06:35. > :06:37.might have had a leadership challenge, at least it is out in the
:06:38. > :06:44.open instead of tracking on to conference time. What happens if
:06:45. > :06:51.Corbyn gets re-elected? That is when the party splits. Cliff Richard,
:06:52. > :06:56.suing the BBC for ?1 million over the filming at his house. His
:06:57. > :07:03.lawyers have dispatched letters to the BBC and South Yorkshire Police.
:07:04. > :07:09.The intention is to Sue for misuse of private information. Basically he
:07:10. > :07:17.says that detectives and reporters unlawfully colluded to invade his
:07:18. > :07:24.privacy. They quote him as saying, I want my day in court. There has been
:07:25. > :07:28.an apology, the BBC said it was sorry that he suffered distress. It
:07:29. > :07:31.is one of those difficult things about the relationship between the
:07:32. > :07:37.police and broadcasters or reporters, which all of us are aware
:07:38. > :07:41.of. And often is very good. To have a relationship can be very useful
:07:42. > :07:45.for both sides. It can be in the public interest. You often don't
:07:46. > :07:51.blunder into a situation where you should not because you ask the
:07:52. > :08:02.police first. That this was a certain mistake. Andy Murray, Centre
:08:03. > :08:07.Court. I shall be watching tomorrow. This is so exciting. If there is any
:08:08. > :08:16.fairness in the world he should win. Because Novak Djokovic is out...
:08:17. > :08:22.Why, because he is British? Because both of his main opponents are out.
:08:23. > :08:26.His Canadian opponent could do it but he is not that well known to
:08:27. > :08:30.people like me, I am sure. But he certainly caused an upset by
:08:31. > :08:35.knocking out Roger Federer. Everybody is looking for a bit of
:08:36. > :08:39.sunshine. And a huge television audience, the papers are saying. I'm
:08:40. > :08:48.afraid Wimbledon has rather passed me by because of all the political
:08:49. > :09:02.Makkah -- machinations have kept me busy going on. Predictions? I think
:09:03. > :09:08.you will. He will. We will be back 11:30pm for another look at stories
:09:09. > :09:10.making the news tomorrow. Time now
