Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
With me are Ayasha Hazarika, a former Labour adviser, | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
and Dan Bilefsky is a writer for the New York Times. | :00:21. | :00:32. | |
The front pages start with kidnap alert at all bases, on the Metro. | :00:33. | :00:41. | |
The Mail leads on the same story, as police hunt for two suspects in | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
connection with the incident at RAF Marham. Today's meeting between | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
Theresa May and Francois Hollande dominate the Guardian's FrontPage. | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
They report on the French president insisting that the UK will not have | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
access to a single market without open borders. The Express claims | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
house prices rose by more than 10% in the last month. Millions of Brits | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
are abandoning trips abroad and taking staycations, in what the | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
Telegraph says will be an economic boost. The FT pictures Jeremy Corbyn | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
launching his campaign to stay as leader and his warning that his | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
Parliamentary opponents will not be safe in their seats if he wins. | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
According to the Times, several people on camera's honours list have | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
been blocked by Whitehall because of concerns about their suitability. We | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
start with the Metro. The Mirror, actually. Those two papers are | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
reflecting the alarming incident at RAF Marham in Norfolk concerning the | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
attempted abduction of a serviceman. An awful story and a serious | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
reminder of the fact that this country is still on high alert in | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
terms of terrorism and also the sort of threats that our service men and | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
women face both abroad and at home. Some horrible reminders of the | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
attack on Lee Rigby, which happened, of course, in this country. So it's | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
a very important reminder that, even though we have all been focused on | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
the EU referendum and Brexit, terrorism is still a huge issue for | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
this country, keeping citizens safe, and I am sure Theresa May will be | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
acutely aware of this. Her primary duty as a Prime Minister is to keep | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
citizens safe, so I think people will be watching this, she will be | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
getting regular briefings on it, and it is very serious. The significance | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
of RAF Marham is it is from where Tornado jets, the fleet is based, | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
and they are carrying out missions over Syria all the time. Indeed. We | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
have been watching with deep concern what has been happening in France in | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
the last couple of years, three serious terror attacks in less than | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
two years, and Britain, which recently renewed its offensive in | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
Syria against Isis, now finds itself potentially under attack. This is | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
very alarming. We are not sure yet whether this was terrorism. But | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
given what is happening in the rest of Europe and across the Channel, | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
it's deeply concerning, because all along we have been worried the UK | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
might be vulnerable. The Guardian, no free trade without open border, | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
Francois Hollande has told Theresa May. This is tricky, because there | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
is a difference between being in the single market and getting all the | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
benefits that we have now, while we are still in the European Union, and | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
having access to the single market, suggest a lesser status. The Brexit | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
people are keen to point out that, if you have access to the market, it | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
doesn't mean you have to follow along with the rules concerning free | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
movement of people, for instance. Look, this is an absolutely crystal | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
clear example of how confused people are about the consequences of exit. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Also, what were people voting for? Loads of people voted leave because | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
immigration is a big issue. It became a lightning conductor. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Thought it would be clear that we could get immigration down. May not | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
be that clear-cut. What politicians are going to have to be realising is | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
there has been a huge breakdown in trust in politics, which is a reason | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
for why the vote went the way it did. If people think they were | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
promised one thing and it isn't delivered, that is going to store up | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
trouble for this government down the track, especially because you have | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
your Brexiteers, David Davis, Boris Johnson, and I think they could be | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
quite a gap between what those politicians are saying and what the | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
public think they are getting. Yesterday, we saw Angela Merkel | :05:01. | :05:09. | |
Francois Hollande, portraying Theresa May very well, but Francois | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Hollande is saying, look, if you want access to the single market, | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
you have to have free movement of people. There are 100,000 plus | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
French people living in London and they are a huge cultural part of the | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
city. They look of French people there are worried about their | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
future. Francois Hollande was playing nice today but there was | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
some Gallic seriousness. It was a wake-up call. I agree. I think you | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
have to abide by the democratic decision. I voted Remain. But there | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
is so much uncertainty about what Brexit is going to mean a very | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
practical level. The immigration thing is one, take another | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
interview, in the music industry, where there is a lot of great work | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
in Europe. They are worried. They are all thinking, will we have to | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
get visas? There are some interesting and big questions, | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
practical questions, that nobody has the answers for, and that is | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
worrying. And the false promise that Brexiteers have been selling, that | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
they can have access to the single market and not have free movement, | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
that will be laid bare very quickly. The Financial Times, Jeremy Corbyn, | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
the issues a seat warning to rebel MPs. The suggestion is that they may | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
be deselected if they don't support him. Touring boundary changes in a | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
couple of years' time. This, to me, screams of desperation, at a time | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
when you have civil war in the Labour Party, with the Parliamentary | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
Labour Party no longer supporting Jeremy Corbyn. He has a lot of | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
support with the grassroots, young people and some older people. It | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
depends on your definition of young, I find. The fact that he finds the | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
need to make this sort of threat means that there will be a war of | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
attrition in the Labour Party and, if they don't get rid of him now, | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
they will eventually, but the main beneficiaries will be the | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Conservatives. After Brexit, you thought it would be mayhem. This is | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
the kind of rhetoric, and Team called in am I suspect, will come | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
out and say, this is not a threat, simply something that might follow | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
following the redrawing of the electoral boundaries, and it is | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
perfectly logical that that could happen. -- Team called in. But it is | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
something that militant put forward as a tactic to pressure people in | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
the 80s. Of course it is a threat. It is like saying, my hand is held | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
out, but in a fist, ready to punch you in the face if you don't comply. | :07:56. | :08:04. | |
What we are finding in the Labour Party is that Jexit is proving more | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
stressful than Brexit. It is a travesty what is happening in | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
Labour, and we've got to get this election sorted out as soon as | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
possible. But one of the things you have to do as leader of the Labour | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
Party is you have to try and unite the party, try and bring together | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
different parts of the party. The members are very important, the | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
councillors are important, but MPs are important as well, because we | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
have a Parliamentary democracy. Jeremy should be trying to bring | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
people together, not create more division. But has he created the | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
division? It is the MPs who have done that. I think the group | :08:44. | :08:51. | |
Momentum at putting pressure on MPs. Most MPs get horrendous abuse from | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
Momentum on a regular basis, they get threatened with deselection. | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
Angela Eagle is on the brink of being deselected by her own | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
constituency party because she doesn't think Jeremy Corbyn is a | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
good leader. He rang her local party to give, basically, the allegations | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
that he was very much supporting her party to deselect her. That isn't | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
unity. If you can't keep the Parliamentary Labour Party together, | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
how can you govern in opposition? That he would argue that 183,000 new | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
members in the last few days alone, he must be doing something right. He | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
is, but membership is one thing. Winning with the public is | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
important. David Cameron's honours list blocked by Whitehall. This is | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
like a final body blow to Cameron Kurle who has been facing... Downing | :09:51. | :09:59. | |
Street, he's honours list is being challenged and blocked by Whitehall, | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
which is unusual from what I understand. It is. Cameron Kurle on | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
one of the hallmarks of his time -- Cameron Kurle, one of the hallmarks. | :10:10. | :10:21. | |
David Cameron. I want it Theresa May have anything to do with this. I | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
wonder if she has been saying, look, we are not going to put everybody | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
through on these peerages. They are controversial. People feel that the | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
house of Lords is already overstuffed. There is another story, | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
saying that the Labour Party offered Shami Chakrabarti a peerage, so | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
there is cronyism allegations on both sides. What is a vote against | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
the Notting Hill set? Possibly. Never mind David Cameron putting | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
forward his people. Liz Truss put forward to be the new Lord | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
Chancellor, of course. Our first woman Lord Chancellor. But she has | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
no legal training and to people have already said they don't want to work | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
with her Lord Fawkes, who has resigned as justice minister, and | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
Anna Soubry, who has worked 20 years as a criminal arrest. Liz Truss is | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
not very popular. -- criminal barrister. I don't think Michael | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
Gould, her predecessor, at any expertise. As a feminist, I am all | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
for breaking these barriers, but it is what you do with your power. I | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
know that a lot of women are very worried about what has been | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
happening with the cuts in legal services, legal aid, so I hope that, | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
as a woman first Chancellor, and Theresa May is a woman Prime | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
Minister, they will be feminist ministers. Mrs Clinton, nothing | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
seems to unite the Republicans better than the desire to lock her | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
up. They are in the middle of her convention and they are pretty | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
united on their anger against her. It is one of the most extraordinary | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
Republican conventions in the US, with the party completely divided, a | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
plagiarism scandal with millennia trump, quoting some lines verbatim | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
from the shadow -- Michelle Obama speech, and then Ted Cruz saying | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
that Donald Trump assassinated -- insulted his father. He refused to | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
endorse Donald Trump. It seems that the only thing uniting the party is | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
how crooked Hillary Clinton is and the notion that they will somehow | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
put in jail over her use of private servers at home for e-mail. It shows | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
you, it is like the image of the Labour Party in this country... It | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
makes me feel better that there is another political party which is as | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
dysfunctional as we are. It is the only thing which seems to be uniting | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
the party. On the front page of the New York Times, Trump gave an | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
interview yesterday saying that the notion of article five of Nato, by | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
which countries promised to defend other countries from attack, it is | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
no longer sacrosanct and that the United States under president Trump | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
would not adhere to this. It has caused international backlash | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
because people are afraid the United States will retrench from the | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
international stage. It would be an interesting world with Donald Trump | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
is leader of the free world. Larry the cat. This is really important. | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
We know there has been a lot of famous political rivalry. We had | :13:43. | :13:52. | |
Brown, Blair, Theresa May, Boris Johnson. But it is their cats that | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
are arguing. Larry the cat has apparently been injured in a scrap. | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
We have got exclusive pictures. This is them. This is the power struggle | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
between number ten and the Foreign Office. It is like a metaphor. I | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
think Jeremy Corbyn's cat was a bit upset. | :14:17. | :14:27. | |
El Catto? That is what is cat is called I thought it was good | :14:28. | :14:40. | |
Chairman Meow. I heard that Theresa May was allergic to cats. Thank you | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
for coming in. Thank you for watching. Goodbye. | :14:44. | :14:58. | |
It's a pleasant evening out there for most of us. Not completely dry | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
because, in one or two areas, | :15:05. | :15:05. |
