Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
With me are Political Commentator Jo Phillips and Nigel Nelson, political | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
editor of the Sunday Mirror and Sunday People. | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
The Telegraph calls the Rio Games Britain's greatest | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
The paper's main story is a crackdown on cosmetic surgeons | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
who will be named and shamed for poor practice. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
The Observer leads with a call from the London Mayor | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
to Labour Party members telling them to back Owen Smith | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
Sadiq Khan says Jeremy Corbyn has been a disaster for the party. | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
Nicola Adams's gold medal win is pictured | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
The paper reports on warnings that Rio may be Team GB's last great | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
games, if economic problems in the future force a cut in funding | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
The Mail on Sunday says Theresa May has been dragged into a party | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
scandal involving allegations of bullying. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
The Express hails a 'golden era' for British sport, | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
alongside a picture of the gold-winning kayaker, | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
And the Sunday Times says Theresa May will harness the spirit | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
of Britain's Olympic "world beaters" to draw up a blueprint for Brexit. | :01:25. | :01:35. | |
Let's get to the papers. Nigel, let's start with the Sunday | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
Telegraph. They all sang it in different ways but the headline is, | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
"The greatest games". Hasn't it been? Splendid. Certainly when it | :01:50. | :01:58. | |
started, I was a bit, Young, OK, I might watch a bit, it will be all | :01:59. | :02:07. | |
right but wasn't to enthusiastic. -- yeah. Now we are thinking this is an | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
extraordinary achievement. Mundy 20 and 12 was fantastic but just around | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
the 12. -- London 2012. They beat China with a population of over a | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
billion people. It has been fantastic. We saw at the women's | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
hockey last night with prosciutto, fantastic. Nicola Adams, of course? | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
You could almost feel her cheeks a king from the smiling. When you | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
listen and see all these people, they are young, they have years | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
ahead of them, hopefully, to carry on playing, running, boxing, | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
swimming, sailing at the standard and the are so refreshing. The | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
message is hard work, commitment, it's just brilliant. Write-up in the | :03:01. | :03:10. | |
corner, US, 39 gold. Only two more to call and we equal London. London | :03:11. | :03:22. | |
were 65 overall. No pressure Mo Farah, then. No pressure! That | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
starts with the Golden games. They have a spin on it, the Times, D-Link | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
issues. Two of the big stories of our age, how have they done that? | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
With an awful of imagination. -- an awful lot. | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
To reason they will harness the Olympic spirit for Brexit. An | :03:52. | :04:04. | |
interview or a speech from Greg Clark, the business and energy | :04:05. | :04:12. | |
Secretary, Nigel would disagree with me, I know. What they are basically | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
saying is that we are going to use what has happened with funding of | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
the Olympics which is basically targeting elite sport, the ones you | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
know where you can win medals, we are going to use that for business. | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
We have an opportunity to use the same approach. " No country has | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
increased its medal tally after 1986". What they have done is by | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
targeting funding. The underlying message is that the government is | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
saying we are going to give resources, give a boost and support | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
industries or businesses weather the other creative set, that gets a | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
mention also, to high-tech industries. The underlying message | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
is that that means they will be tough choices. Total rubbish. To be | :05:04. | :05:14. | |
fair to Jo, she is quoting what the paper says. It reads like a speech. | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
It is a clever way of a speech. Theresa May does something like it | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
as had the view speech for Prime Minister next month. As Joe pointed | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
out, we target excellence and that is the way to get through Brexit. | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
The ID you can link together somebody doing the 400 metres with | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
making spanners in a different part of the country, I don't think it | :05:43. | :05:52. | |
works. -- the idea. There is something in it, too. Didn't we do | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
well? There is something that we touched on the earlier about the | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
sheer spirit of the people that have taken part in the Olympics. If what | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
you are saying is let's get that same kind of spirit, the British | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
spirit or whatever you want to call it, and really go out and make backs | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
at a success, I would understand that. I don't get trying to make | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
this specific link between certain industries and athletics. It's a | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
problem that all it takes is basically pedestrian, isn't it | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
question mark in its pace. You know, politics is showbiz for ugly people. | :06:32. | :06:44. | |
It's pretty true. --? In the dull world of politics to somehow | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
capture... The mood of the moment. There is that thing of how did they | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
do that and why can't we inspire people? The reason is, frankly, Greg | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
Clark has a long way to go before he is as exciting as Nicola Adams. I | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
remember after London 2012, people say there had been no legacy. What | :07:11. | :07:19. | |
has happened? This is the legacy. You can't not quote what has | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
happened in the four years between. We don't see these people often | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
during that time unless they have done an advert, they are training. | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
They don't do that because of all the things that went into London | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
2012 and from that. It is part of that legacy and Tokyo in 2020 will | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
be the legacy of these games. Let's go to the Independent. Nigel, I | :07:46. | :07:55. | |
think it is your time. This is pouring cold water on what has | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
happened. Reintroducing them, the last great games of return. -- | :07:59. | :08:12. | |
Britain. -- Rio 2016. What she is saying is that these games are great | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
and Tokyo 2020 might not be because of Brexit. How do we keep linking | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
Brexit with the Olympics? How do she make the link? She doesn't. A fund | :08:25. | :08:33. | |
came up for a elite sport. That fund has been threatened by Brexit so | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
they won't be as much money around. I would say that as John Major, we | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
have to thank for most of this because he started the lottery. | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
Lottery money has gone into sport and allowed the kind of work that | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
the athletes have been able to do to get them as good enough for London | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
2012 and for Rio. Nicola Adams and the the amazing cyclist. They went | :08:56. | :09:05. | |
even born, it really is a legacy. The story in the Independent is, | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
again, stretching it. It is the mood of the moment, link it to absolutely | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
everything. Lots of things are going to be fragile in their funding | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
because of Brexit and because of the world economy. It's like, "Let's | :09:18. | :09:24. | |
look at this now". Next week it might be something else. I think | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
it's a bit off. It's not even over yet. Let them enjoy their moment in | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
the sun. The parades and all those things. Let's go back to proper | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
gritty politics. People giving each other proper kicking. | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
The London mayor putting the proverbial boot into Jeremy Corbyn | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
in a big way. Blair only two days after he was interviewed on the BBC | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
and pressed and pressed again on whether he would support. -- only | :09:56. | :10:07. | |
two days. It is a very, very damning attack on Jeremy Corbyn. He says he | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
is a principled Labour man whose support has brought hope to many. He | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
has been able to organise a successful team. He has lost the | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
confidence of Labour MPs. Throughout the campaign, he has failed to show | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
the leadership. That is the point. We are going back to Brexit now but | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
in a very serious way. Is as that's what Jeremy Corbyn... Yahoo yes. | :10:34. | :10:41. | |
-- yes. There was a problem all the way through. The truth is that | :10:42. | :10:50. | |
labour voters were in favour of Romain, as far as we know. There was | :10:51. | :10:59. | |
the third then of the remain that wondered if it was an official | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
policy. -- remain. Next week the ballot papers go out so we have the | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
voting process going on. I think there is an element of that they | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
have to try one last chance of stopping Jeremy Corbyn being | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
re-elected. At the moment, he looks the key is way ahead. There is no | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
other chance. I think you will find there will be lots of major figures | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
going out. -- he looks like he. To think there is another message to | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
Jeremy Corbyn saying that they know and he is going to win but you can't | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
leave the Labour Party to victory? What about earlier, Owen Smith | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
doesn't make it, Jeremy Corbyn does, the Conservatives win decisively, | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
this is what people are thinking in the Labour Party or Sadiq Khan. Then | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
they will need a new leader. Sadiq Khan might be? Would you want a | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
second term as London mayor would you want to rescue what is left of | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
the Labour Party which, by then, webby very much. -- won't be. The | :12:07. | :12:17. | |
government waters down drink warning. This is a fascinating | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
turnaround. We are about to get new drink targets. Instead of 14 units | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
for women being safe over a week, and 21 units for men, it will now be | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
14 for both. However, it will be a soft message from Jeremy Hunt where | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
he will be saying, "Watch it when you are drinking but it is actually | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
not much more serious to have a few drinks than going out for a drive." | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
Although, don't do that same together. But the actions you are | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
carrying out, that's fine. It's tried to get away from the nanny | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
state idea and yet still they want to put targets down without actually | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
saying whether these targets are safe or... We have been told that we | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
shouldn't drink ever at all, ever, ever, ever. Even looking at a bottle | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
of wine was bad for you back then. This comes on the back of the | :13:21. | :13:29. | |
childhood obesity and -- thing. If the government stepping back from | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
the nanny state and telling people to be responsible? There is a | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
difference between grown-ups drinking and children who can't | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
often make the choice. There will be accused whatever they do, they will | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
be accused of caving into the drinks lobby. -- they will. There is a | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
change of mood. What you said nanny state. | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
We shouldn't be finger wagging too much. Men are being told we have to | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
come down. They feel like rigid targets. Does | :14:04. | :14:15. | |
that mean 14 units a week is safe but 15 isn't? If you say to people, | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
it depends on your metabolism and a variety of things, your physique, | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
whether or not these things are safe or not, you should not have a | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
target. If you are going to water down the nanny state, don't bother | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
with a target either. It is really about common sense. This is the | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
whole thing about public health. If you eat rubbish and don't exercise, | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
you know... OK, that is it. | :14:41. | :14:44. |
