:00:00. > :00:00.we have seen Jeremy not do that job. He has been hiding behind a door,

:00:00. > :00:15.not talking to his members of Parliament.

:00:16. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:19. > :00:22.With me are the Political Correspondent for the Guardian,

:00:23. > :00:25.Rowena Mason, and the Westminster Correspondent for the South West

:00:26. > :00:39.There's really only one show in town: The anointing

:00:40. > :00:48.Theresa May's 'fast track' to Number 10.

:00:49. > :00:50.The Mail describes the imminent 'coronation' of Theresa

:00:51. > :00:55.and features a smiling picture of the soon-to-be PM and her husband

:00:56. > :01:00.The Mirror calls for an early general election to give Mrs May

:01:01. > :01:04.The Times looks ahead to who could be

:01:05. > :01:12.is the Prime Minister who can reunite the Tory party.

:01:13. > :01:14.The Express carries a warning to Theresa May

:01:15. > :01:21.The FT leads with Mrs May promising to make

:01:22. > :01:23.Brexit a successAnd the Metro describes a day of

:01:24. > :01:47.We are going to start with the Daily Mail, who backed Theresa May. As you

:01:48. > :01:59.say, they backed her, it was only last week... It feels like a long

:02:00. > :02:03.time ago. She was a supporter of Remain and she is also a hard line

:02:04. > :02:09.on immigration which appeals to the Daily Mail and I am sure they will

:02:10. > :02:19.continue to get behind as long as she does what she said today and

:02:20. > :02:29.that is deliver on Brexit. He caught on the eyeball, there, but an

:02:30. > :02:37.affectionate kiss in the photograph. There will be some people

:02:38. > :02:42.disappointed? Absolutely. It could come back to haunt her because she

:02:43. > :02:54.has been given this job because her opponent dropped out and nobody has

:02:55. > :03:03.voted for her apart from 100 99 MPs. This is a different set of policies

:03:04. > :03:08.from what we voted on a year ago? I think it will be if she follows on

:03:09. > :03:14.from the speech today. She made a fascinating speech this morning. If

:03:15. > :03:20.you closed your eyes and imagined a lower tone it could have been Ed

:03:21. > :03:29.Miliband... Of really? It was a fascinating, powerful speech calling

:03:30. > :03:35.to reform, irresponsible big business, talking about putting

:03:36. > :03:41.workers on boards, intervening in the energy markets. It was a real

:03:42. > :03:46.eye-opener because the issue is whether she will get to do all of

:03:47. > :03:50.these things because they seem to be dominated one subject. In The

:03:51. > :03:59.Guardian, you are picking up that it Guardian, you are picking up that it

:04:00. > :04:08.has cut short what should have been a nine week contest. People have not

:04:09. > :04:13.heard what she is about. We know she is the Home Secretary and we know

:04:14. > :04:19.what she stands on on Brexit but do we know about what she stands for on

:04:20. > :04:29.the economy? She seems to have parked on Labour 's lawn and taken a

:04:30. > :04:32.more centric position. But we do not know the specifics in terms of

:04:33. > :04:41.policy and she has given hints here and there, she wants to ditch the

:04:42. > :04:45.target of getting a surplus by George Osborne, it seems, but we do

:04:46. > :04:52.not know how much planning has been going on behind the scenes. She does

:04:53. > :04:56.not have to abide by the rules. Should not set it. But she would

:04:57. > :05:03.have to have an Autumn statement which would reset the country's

:05:04. > :05:10.fiscal position. It will look different... A lot worse than

:05:11. > :05:15.earlier this year. She was not able to achieve the surplus at whatever

:05:16. > :05:22.the figures are, they agreed, and she may be able to make a position

:05:23. > :05:32.to make some difficult decisions. -- grim. Is Brexit overshadowing

:05:33. > :05:37.everything else? I think she's heading for what possibly a tough

:05:38. > :05:42.time. She will have the poison pill of having to push the button on

:05:43. > :05:52.Brexit, Article 50, which triggers that the UK leaving the EU and there

:05:53. > :05:59.is a possibility of market jitters. You believe the Remain side, then

:06:00. > :06:04.job losses, companies pulling out so that will be a tricky moment for her

:06:05. > :06:11.and how she prepares for that moment and how she tries to calm fears and

:06:12. > :06:14.make people feel better... We heard from the deputy chair there was a

:06:15. > :06:23.compassionate conservative with a small sea, she would hope to be

:06:24. > :06:30.something akin to that - can she do that with all the shackles she is

:06:31. > :06:32.facing? All politicians, all prime ministers are going to call

:06:33. > :06:37.themselves compassionate politicians. They promise to be a

:06:38. > :06:42.one nation Prime Minister but the reality can be very different

:06:43. > :06:49.because many economists tell us we could very well be in recession next

:06:50. > :06:53.year. It depends on what deal we can achieve when dealing with the

:06:54. > :06:59.European Union. We could be a significantly poorer country. It is

:07:00. > :07:04.not matter what intentions you set out with but they may be swept away

:07:05. > :07:14.by the economic situation. The front page of The Sun, quite a punchy

:07:15. > :07:23.front page. All those that would be leaders. I wonder how many of those

:07:24. > :07:28.will feature in her cabinet? We do not know and she will be spending a

:07:29. > :07:33.lot of time in the next couple of days - she probably has the week to

:07:34. > :07:39.come up with the Cabinet she thinks will be able to deliver Brexit.

:07:40. > :07:44.People who she trusts and people on the Brexit side so that she shows

:07:45. > :07:50.that the party and the country that she will be delivering on what they

:07:51. > :07:58.have asked her to do and some of the key Brexit people, Liam Fox, Chris

:07:59. > :08:02.Grayling, to people who have been introducing campaign speeches for

:08:03. > :08:12.her. You would expect them to feature. She can reunite the Tories,

:08:13. > :08:23.but there are some angry about the way Angela was treated... Just to go

:08:24. > :08:28.back on what The Sun has predicted their readers identify with, not the

:08:29. > :08:31.fact that she has been Home Secretary and policies on

:08:32. > :08:40.immigration are the shoes that she wears. The same is kitten heel,

:08:41. > :08:58.leopardprint shoes. They were quick to label her the new Maggie

:08:59. > :09:03.Thatcher. Can she reunite the party? We are going to move on and took

:09:04. > :09:10.about how quickly she may press ahead to triggering Article 50 and I

:09:11. > :09:15.think that will be crucial in terms of uniting the party. Many of her

:09:16. > :09:20.MPs and party members will want her to press ahead very fast on the

:09:21. > :09:28.decision the country took in the referendum. Theresa May's stated

:09:29. > :09:36.position is to move slowly and to start negotiations next year. In The

:09:37. > :09:44.Express underlying that. Make sure you get us out of the EU. This is a

:09:45. > :09:49.warning from the Daily Express. The Daily Express crusade - they are

:09:50. > :09:56.going to try and make sure she delivers what she has promised and

:09:57. > :10:03.that Brexit means Brexit. There are different ideas even within the

:10:04. > :10:06.Brexit have our how to do it. There will be hurdles along the way and

:10:07. > :10:13.she will have to negotiate between all these different points of view.

:10:14. > :10:21.From the soft Brexit to the hardline who want to see Article 50 triggered

:10:22. > :10:27.straightaway so that there is no lag or retreating from what they see as

:10:28. > :10:34.the key things and number one on that list is ending freedom of

:10:35. > :10:38.movement. And then you go into issues as to whether you can and

:10:39. > :10:45.freedom of movement and still be part of the single market. She was

:10:46. > :10:49.agreeing that if we were to retain access to the single market, there

:10:50. > :10:54.freedom of movement and you can bet freedom of movement and you can bet

:10:55. > :11:03.your life that those sorts of comments will be studied very

:11:04. > :11:07.closely. All of that may fall into the camp on the new Brexit

:11:08. > :11:15.portfolio. We all this talk about the top three jobs - treasury and

:11:16. > :11:23.foreign and I wonder if Brexit is the one they all want. I do not know

:11:24. > :11:27.what that new role is going to be called- negotiator? A couple of

:11:28. > :11:34.people I mentioned earlier are people I mentioned earlier are

:11:35. > :11:44.possible contenders for that... Of the Times go into who they think

:11:45. > :11:50.might be that person. Two of the key people muted, Chris railing and

:11:51. > :11:56.David Davis and potentially Liam Fox. What the Times on to say is

:11:57. > :12:01.they have interesting intelligence about Boris Johnson was said by

:12:02. > :12:05.friends to expect little from Theresa May so he's not waiting by

:12:06. > :12:14.the phone but it is still possible she could for him something... I

:12:15. > :12:20.think Michael Gove is to expect even less. Very frosty between him and

:12:21. > :12:28.Theresa May. Philip had been is tipped to take over as the

:12:29. > :12:33.Chancellor. -- Philip Hammond. He is someone who is spoken about the

:12:34. > :12:39.dangers of leaving the single market. Chris Grayling went

:12:40. > :12:44.straightaway to Theresa May and some people were surprised. Maybe he will

:12:45. > :12:50.cash in on that result? There will be some people expecting rewards and

:12:51. > :12:54.although Theresa May said clearly she was not promising jobs to

:12:55. > :13:03.anybody, some people were very quick to see which way the wind was

:13:04. > :13:06.blowing. Some people threw their weight behind Theresa May other than

:13:07. > :13:25.people like Doris Johnson. Let's look at the shoe-ins, the foot

:13:26. > :13:29.in the doors and the lost souls. Can we talk about the lost souls, Nicky

:13:30. > :13:37.Morgan who didn't run for the leadership, and John Whittingdale,

:13:38. > :13:42.the Culture Secretary. Patrick McLoughlan is interesting as well.

:13:43. > :13:48.Talking about key decisions away from Brexit, transport department is

:13:49. > :13:52.one of those, with the long-awaited decision on airport expansion. I

:13:53. > :13:56.don't know where she sets on Heathrow and HS2. That is very

:13:57. > :14:01.important with Southern conservative MPs. Although the legislation has

:14:02. > :14:04.gone through and the work has started, it will be a significantly

:14:05. > :14:09.poorer country in future if that is the case, then HS2... Down the

:14:10. > :14:16.bottom there is a basket of goodies waiting for her when she gets into

:14:17. > :14:19.Number Ten, Trident Mac, Heathrow runway, Scottish independence, the

:14:20. > :14:25.G20 meeting, snap election -- Trident. Trident is interesting

:14:26. > :14:28.because one of the first things all incoming Prime ministers have to do

:14:29. > :14:33.is sign a letter of last resort which is the instruction to the

:14:34. > :14:36.commanders of the Trident subs, hiding under the Atlantic, about

:14:37. > :14:43.what to do if there is a nuclear war. Britain has been devastated,

:14:44. > :14:47.perhaps, in these circumstances, they have to find nuclear weapons to

:14:48. > :14:51.carry on fighting the enemy, or head to Australia. When Tony Blair was

:14:52. > :14:58.shown this letter and was instructed to sign it, he went white. Would she

:14:59. > :15:01.go white? She has been in COBRA and some of the big security meeting.

:15:02. > :15:05.All candidates she has the experience. She will have seen some

:15:06. > :15:12.hair raising things as Home Secretary when it comes to terrorist

:15:13. > :15:17.attacks. It is still quite a moment. Nuclear devastation on another

:15:18. > :15:22.country. Trident is the easy one. She knows how the party will vote.

:15:23. > :15:27.She will use that in her first week of prime ministership as a method of

:15:28. > :15:34.showing that the Conservative Party are united on this issue, whereas

:15:35. > :15:38.Labour are divided. Looking at the shoe ins, Philip Hammond for

:15:39. > :15:42.Chancellor they say, Liam Fox could be on his way to Brexit secretary

:15:43. > :15:50.role, and David Davis as you say back in government. Chris Grayling

:15:51. > :15:54.and David Davis have perhaps been frustrated they didn't get the roles

:15:55. > :15:59.they might have wanted with David Cameron and now they might be on the

:16:00. > :16:07.rise. David Davis is suing Theresa May's department currently over the

:16:08. > :16:11.snoopers charter, the temporary charter, surveillance, so if he gets

:16:12. > :16:21.the top job despite suing the Home Office... Nothing is impossible. The

:16:22. > :16:25.timetable, Friday for the big jobs? They are being tightlipped about

:16:26. > :16:31.when Theresa May will announce her Cabinet. She is meant to be working

:16:32. > :16:34.in her office tomorrow. And having a think. Yes, because she is already

:16:35. > :16:40.doing their job at the moment. This doing their job at the moment. This

:16:41. > :16:45.is a formality. If she has it in place at the end of the week she is

:16:46. > :16:50.doing all right. The Daily Mirror, holding her to the words in 2007

:16:51. > :16:54.when Gordon Brown took power, the only election, bring it on. She said

:16:55. > :17:01.he needed a mandate and now they say so do you. It is interesting. Well,

:17:02. > :17:06.they might call it hypocrisy. This is what she called for. These are

:17:07. > :17:15.the standards that she held Gordon Brown to. She is planning to go on

:17:16. > :17:20.and be the Prime Minister for four years, until 2020, and she won't be

:17:21. > :17:25.voted in by the country. On the other hand, she would find it

:17:26. > :17:30.difficult to get the support from Tory MPs to hold a snap election.

:17:31. > :17:35.They only fought one about a year ago. A lot of people have just one

:17:36. > :17:40.marginal seats who wouldn't be used about having to fight another one.

:17:41. > :17:48.-- won. We have had mayhem galore and the market just wants stability.

:17:49. > :17:53.Do we want snap elections? I am sure the markets won't want it. We

:17:54. > :17:57.suggested it seems surprising that a Labour supporting paper in the Daily

:17:58. > :18:01.Mirror is saving bring it the early election. That would point to the

:18:02. > :18:08.last thing the party needs and could do well in. Obviously, later this

:18:09. > :18:15.week, events might determine that. She says she will not have an early

:18:16. > :18:20.election. That seems definite. If you do, you need to rule it out

:18:21. > :18:24.first. The thing that cost Gordon Brown in 2007 wasn't that he didn't

:18:25. > :18:28.hold the early election after becoming Prime Minister and getting

:18:29. > :18:32.a mandate, he tantalised us that he was going to and then he pulled out

:18:33. > :18:37.for some ridiculous reason and then he looked like a chicken. Theresa

:18:38. > :18:43.May has made a sensible position of ruling it out at the moment. I am

:18:44. > :18:50.sure she is keeping her options open. A quick look inside the Mail.

:18:51. > :18:55.Car crash campaign destroys Andrea, accidental candidate. They point to

:18:56. > :19:04.the Times' story on the weekend, saying she was hard done by. It was

:19:05. > :19:09.all a bit of a card -- car crash. She did quite a good concessional

:19:10. > :19:14.speech. The reasons she gave a not the ones she had given in these less

:19:15. > :19:18.than satisfactory interviews over the last few days. She said she

:19:19. > :19:25.withdrew because the country needed stability. Is it the real story? No.

:19:26. > :19:31.If you believe that, you believe anything. I read the Telegraph

:19:32. > :19:36.interview this morning and it was almost like hands in front of my

:19:37. > :19:41.eyes. She talked about how it was a shattering experience over the last

:19:42. > :19:43.few days and she felt under attack. The interviewer asked when she had

:19:44. > :19:50.last cried and she said 20 minutes ago. I read all of that and wondered

:19:51. > :19:53.how on earth she could carry on. One Tory MP was brutal today and said

:19:54. > :19:57.that whatever happened over the weekend, if she felt under attack,

:19:58. > :20:02.that is nothing compared to talking to President Putin. Yes. There is

:20:03. > :20:07.the echo of the campaign from Boris Johnson. The telephone calls, the

:20:08. > :20:12.e-mails, not doing what she was supposed to do, what campaigners

:20:13. > :20:17.were supposed to have done, it shows how difficult it can be to run a

:20:18. > :20:23.campaign. I think so, and she hadn't really run anything like this

:20:24. > :20:28.before. And don't forget, when she actually threw her hat in the ring

:20:29. > :20:32.to be leader, Boris Johnson was in the race. When she put the

:20:33. > :20:35.nomination papers in Boris Johnson was running and Michael Gove hadn't

:20:36. > :20:40.declared. She would have thought that she was going to come third or

:20:41. > :20:45.fourth and then get a nice Cabinet job in Boris Johnson's premiership.

:20:46. > :20:51.It didn't quite work out as she had expected. I saw at hoik today which

:20:52. > :20:58.had confirmed to her followers that it was all over and two... I assumed

:20:59. > :21:05.there won't be a -- tweet. Well, you never know. What about David Cameron

:21:06. > :21:10.harming his way into Number Ten this evening? -- humming. Is said he

:21:11. > :21:15.would like to do what John Major did, take a seat in the Lords and

:21:16. > :21:18.stay in politics somehow. I think we know very little about what he wants

:21:19. > :21:24.to do next. He has been pressed about it once and he is saying he

:21:25. > :21:29.will definitely stay until 2020, he will be a backbench MP and then

:21:30. > :21:36.after that it is sort of up for grabs. He definitely doesn't want to

:21:37. > :21:42.do what Tony Blair did, just to flee immediately. Make loads of money but

:21:43. > :21:46.see your reputation trashed. He doesn't want to do that, he wants to

:21:47. > :21:55.carry on until the next election. After that, who knows? Apparently,

:21:56. > :22:00.he might move his children. It says she can now be educated privately

:22:01. > :22:03.without creating a fuss. I am scooting on because I want to get to

:22:04. > :22:10.Labour in a while. Weekly, before we do that, the markets get to an 11

:22:11. > :22:16.month high, the 250 is up, the FTSE 100 is up, so, where is the

:22:17. > :22:23.Market looked relieved after the Market looked relieved after the

:22:24. > :22:37.Prime Minister has been put in place but don't forget the FTSE 100 is in

:22:38. > :22:40.dollars and not pounds. -- markets look relieved. Billions of pounds

:22:41. > :22:44.have still been wiped off the stock markets in the referendum result.

:22:45. > :22:49.Still, billions have been written off. Maybe there is a rally. There

:22:50. > :22:57.might be joy for those who haven't bought euros yet, in that the pound

:22:58. > :23:04.rose slightly. 1.46, wasn't it? OK, let's turn to Labour. It is

:23:05. > :23:08.extraordinary, we have gone through the papers and Labour isn't on the

:23:09. > :23:14.front pages of anywhere, really, and yet they have real problems. It has

:23:15. > :23:17.little reference to Angela Eagle, former Shadow Business Secretary,

:23:18. > :23:24.who has launched a formal challenge against Jeremy Corbyn. She failed to

:23:25. > :23:26.make waves today. Unfortunately, she was announcing a leadership bid and

:23:27. > :23:29.giving the speech at the time Andrea giving the speech at the time Andrea

:23:30. > :23:35.Leadsom pulled out all the Tory race. She has been squeezed in terms

:23:36. > :23:42.of the space. There was a moment on Twitter which did the rounds, it

:23:43. > :23:51.went viral when she went, where is the BBC, Robert Peston, she has been

:23:52. > :23:57.overshadowed somewhat? Jeremy Corbyn will be happy about that. The real

:23:58. > :23:59.thing is tomorrow when the executive committee will determine whether

:24:00. > :24:05.Jeremy Corbyn is on the ballot without the support of... How does

:24:06. > :24:11.it work? How many are on the committee who will decide? I think

:24:12. > :24:19.it is 33. Is it a secret ballot? That we don't know. There are fears

:24:20. > :24:24.among Corbyn supporters that it could be a secret ballot. We don't

:24:25. > :24:27.quite know at the moment. It looks like there are more Corbyn

:24:28. > :24:31.supporters on the NEC than non- Corbyn supporters but there are

:24:32. > :24:36.rumours people are on holiday at the moment. Some people want to delay

:24:37. > :24:44.it. It really is up for grabs, potentially. Whatever the decision,

:24:45. > :24:47.it mightn't be the end of it, because if Jeremy Corbyn is excluded

:24:48. > :24:52.or isn't automatically on the ballot, he said he would go to court

:24:53. > :24:54.to challenge it. Take a step back, let's remind people that the

:24:55. > :24:59.question is whether MPs would have to renominate him or whether as the

:25:00. > :25:04.incumbent he would automatically be on the ballot. It seems like a

:25:05. > :25:14.really technical point. It hasn't been done before. There is a

:25:15. > :25:20.president, when Neil can -- Kinnock gathered votes. The income it

:25:21. > :25:27.wouldn't necessarily have to. There are differing legal opinions about

:25:28. > :25:29.it. -- incumbent. Supporters say he shouldn't have together these
