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