:00:13. > :00:15.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:16. > :00:18.With me are Pippa Crerar, Political correspondent
:00:19. > :00:23.at the London Evening Standard and Torcuil Crichton,
:00:24. > :00:24.Westminster Editor of the Daily Record.
:00:25. > :00:37.The Telegraph leads with the resignation
:00:38. > :00:42.It claims, fears over being cast as a backbench schemer,
:00:43. > :00:47.led David Cameron to step down with immediate effect.
:00:48. > :00:50.We're reminded by the Metro that on leaving Downing Street David
:00:51. > :01:07.Cameron had said that he would be "proud" to serve as a backbench MP.
:01:08. > :01:18.Has legacy in the ruins 16 months after his election victory.
:01:19. > :01:21.The Times says the issue to reintroduce the grammar schools was
:01:22. > :01:28.time Cameron's decision to quit. The Guardian says the Prime Minister
:01:29. > :01:30.-- former Prime Minister did not want people to look at differences
:01:31. > :01:32.between him and Theresa May. The Daily Express reports that
:01:33. > :01:34.almost a million people in England have potentially deadly Type 2
:01:35. > :01:37.diabetes but don't know it. NHS health chiefs are concerned
:01:38. > :01:48.that soaring numbers The murder brings us the story about
:01:49. > :01:56.the BBC losing the contrast to -- contract for the Great British Bake
:01:57. > :02:00.Off. We're talking about the demise of the show on the BBC.
:02:01. > :02:09.Cameron quits to avoid split with me. Allied said he feared being cast
:02:10. > :02:14.as backbench schemer. But he says he did not want to be a distraction. A
:02:15. > :02:20.couple of months ago he promised to stay on as an MP and here we have a
:02:21. > :02:24.dramatic U-turn which very few people expected, despite some operas
:02:25. > :02:31.close as parliamentary friends saying that they knew all along. He
:02:32. > :02:36.consulted Sir John Major, one of his predecessors, about this and John
:02:37. > :02:40.major headed straight to the awful to watch the cricket on the day he
:02:41. > :02:51.stood down from Downing Street. -- awful. -- the oval. He was keen not
:02:52. > :02:55.to be cast as the new Tony Blair to go off and make his millions
:02:56. > :03:00.elsewhere in the private sector. Not did he want to follow Ted Heath who
:03:01. > :03:05.sat in the back benches for 37 years. Stewing over what Margaret
:03:06. > :03:13.Thatcher was doing to his beloved party. When she then met her and at
:03:14. > :03:22.Downing Street he took to the streets seeing, rejoice, rejoice! He
:03:23. > :03:25.does not... Is fundamentally about difference of opinion with Theresa
:03:26. > :03:33.May and the way she is shaping up as the Conservative leader? That is
:03:34. > :03:37.part of it but he had is bake off. The voters of Whitney have been
:03:38. > :03:44.outbid by David Cameron's inherited fortune, which she can now play
:03:45. > :03:54.with. His ?4 million M Meyerbeer and -- memoir deal. Is it about the cash
:03:55. > :04:00.then? He seems to have been disappointed he was crashed so
:04:01. > :04:06.quickly by trees at me. All our eyes has begun Brexit so we have not been
:04:07. > :04:10.following David Cameron's arc over the summer with things like his
:04:11. > :04:16.closing up to the Chinese, Theresa May puppet of that. Same with the
:04:17. > :04:23.Northern powerhouse. Grammar schools -- Theresa May got rid of that. It
:04:24. > :04:30.would not surprise me if she even kicked the Huskies out of Downing
:04:31. > :04:38.Street! He felt privately aggrieved about this. With the legacy he was
:04:39. > :04:44.hoping might continue is gone? He left a huge legacy. He says taking
:04:45. > :04:49.Britain to the edge of the cliff and then left us there. That will be the
:04:50. > :04:56.single biggest thing he is remembered for, regardless of what
:04:57. > :05:00.he done as leader or legislation. Well, the bedroom tax and austerity
:05:01. > :05:06.and... He has potentially taking us to the beginning -- beginning of a
:05:07. > :05:13.new dawn of free trade, not tied to Brussels. That's what those people
:05:14. > :05:18.who voted to leave would say. That is what the majority voted for, for
:05:19. > :05:27.sure. Let's go to the Daily Mail. His
:05:28. > :05:33.legacy of ruins. -- has legacy ruins, they say. He was the first
:05:34. > :05:42.Prime Minister with a majority, Tory Prime Minister, since 1992. And now
:05:43. > :05:46.he is leaving the Commons. It is quite remarkable how Theresa May has
:05:47. > :05:50.come in and while many people thought she was going to be a
:05:51. > :05:59.continuity candidate, one nation carry on one nation aspect, she was
:06:00. > :06:03.Home Secretary in his Government for six years, she has quickly struck a
:06:04. > :06:09.new tone and set her own course will stop for me, nothing represents
:06:10. > :06:13.that's better than grammar schools which David Cameron very early on in
:06:14. > :06:18.his leadership made clear he would not pursue, he would not allow the
:06:19. > :06:23.expansion of grammar schools and he would stick with the Labour policy
:06:24. > :06:30.of banning any more. For sound educational reasons and also good
:06:31. > :06:36.political reasons. Forward into the past. It casts the Tory party as
:06:37. > :06:40.old-fashioned 1950s British party and Cameron's one achievement was to
:06:41. > :06:45.take it from the mad fringes it was on when Tony Blair was elected and
:06:46. > :06:49.bring it back to the centre ground, with the help of his Huskies and
:06:50. > :06:55.lots of other things and make it electable again. Then he threw it
:06:56. > :06:58.all away, he gambled Britain on the Scottish referendum which he won and
:06:59. > :07:03.lost the following morning when he started talking up English votes for
:07:04. > :07:07.English laws and flare nationalism again at the top he won that so he
:07:08. > :07:12.could gamble again just to pacify the right wing in the Tory party. He
:07:13. > :07:18.is the man who broke the bank in Monte Carlo. He took Britain to the
:07:19. > :07:24.casino and lost. What was a poll said, all political
:07:25. > :07:30.careers end in failure? Is that the right way to look at Cameron now? It
:07:31. > :07:34.depends on the up, Brexit and your political perspective. To some
:07:35. > :07:40.people it will be about what he did and power since 2010 including
:07:41. > :07:46.things like austerity and the bedroom tax. For others though, who
:07:47. > :07:51.wanted to have a referendum on the EU and applauded him for doing so
:07:52. > :07:57.and then subsequently that was one, they will probably do him a bit more
:07:58. > :08:01.nostalgically and fondly. It comes down to what happens with bread
:08:02. > :08:07.negotiations and how successful or otherwise at end up being for our
:08:08. > :08:12.country. -- Brexit negotiations. How hard is it for a former leader to
:08:13. > :08:22.shuffle to the back, onto the back backbenches? The prostate and
:08:23. > :08:30.Theresa May made at the dispatch box -- the first speech to May, you saw
:08:31. > :08:34.him on the fourth row in the backbenches. He looked comfortable
:08:35. > :08:40.and relaxed. When Theresa May had her Brexit await the day he was in a
:08:41. > :08:45.Westminster restaurant seeming to enjoy himself. It looked like he was
:08:46. > :08:52.in it for the long haul and he promised he would be. Alex Salmond
:08:53. > :08:56.got it right today when he said that every MP has a contract with the
:08:57. > :09:01.constituents to serve out their town and Alex Salmond was in the same
:09:02. > :09:06.situation with being the big man and stepping aside. He knows how
:09:07. > :09:09.frustrating that can be fully former First Minister Prime Minister but
:09:10. > :09:18.you have got to suck it up and coming clearly felt he could not. --
:09:19. > :09:26.and Cameron felt he could not. Onto the times. Talking about boundary
:09:27. > :09:34.changes. The political analyst, well known analyst has had a look at the
:09:35. > :09:37.boundary changes which are coming in next general election and worked out
:09:38. > :09:45.that Labour could lose 25 seats, a massive shake-up and one of the key
:09:46. > :09:52.facts of this is it could boost the Tory majority from 12 MPs to 40.
:09:53. > :09:58.When you consider how complicated the next 12 -- next four years look
:09:59. > :10:05.for the Prime Minister and getting policy through Parliament, how few
:10:06. > :10:12.MPs 12 that is who will vote against everything she proposes, it makes
:10:13. > :10:16.after the next election make her life if she continues as leader and
:10:17. > :10:21.possibly Prime Minister a lot more comfortable. One of the reasons
:10:22. > :10:27.Cameron decided to leave, with only a majority of 12 all the MPs must be
:10:28. > :10:31.there all the time. He would not have time to go anywhere else and
:10:32. > :10:36.relax. One of the other interesting
:10:37. > :10:42.elements is what happens to Labour. One of these seats in lose is Jeremy
:10:43. > :10:48.Corbyn's seat which would be subsumed into a bigger east London
:10:49. > :10:57.constituency and he would be up against some quite prominent MPs in
:10:58. > :11:02.the area. Diane Abbott, his Shadow Foreign Secretary. There is a sweet
:11:03. > :11:06.irony in that. I think that is the story although it is quite near the
:11:07. > :11:12.bottom in the times. Basically Jeremy Corbyn's constituency may
:11:13. > :11:15.disappear and Emily Thornbury and Diane Abbott would have a greater
:11:16. > :11:21.claim to the resultant constituency because under Labour's rules 40% of
:11:22. > :11:25.their constituency would be the new one. Even if one was to step aside
:11:26. > :11:34.than under Labour's rules it should be an open short list. He is caught
:11:35. > :11:39.by ways on this. There is some good news in that boundary change. It
:11:40. > :11:46.seemed Nick Clegg's she is also due to disappear, so he will be relieved
:11:47. > :12:01.he will not have to stand again. Do you know something we do not?
:12:02. > :12:08.Not a Cabinet's view. All of this stuff, toss it out of the way. Great
:12:09. > :12:15.British Baked Off. How much of a disaster is best for the BBC? It is
:12:16. > :12:23.a disaster for the BBC but is it a disaster for the viewer? I do not
:12:24. > :12:32.know where Channel 4 is on the telly. I've no idea! Once again,
:12:33. > :12:36.follow the money. ?25 million Channel 4 paying for this programme
:12:37. > :12:41.formats and I fear this might be some kind of reverse top gear. They
:12:42. > :12:56.bought the former but not the presenters. And they have not bought
:12:57. > :13:01.Mary Berry. They consider themselves BBC people and the fact the big is
:13:02. > :13:05.considered the BBC product I think they will be fairly upset about that
:13:06. > :13:13.but do they then also follow the money? It depends how much they get
:13:14. > :13:17.offered. The BBC was any lose - lose situation. The either match what
:13:18. > :13:24.Channel 4 is offering an come in for criticism from the newspapers over
:13:25. > :13:28.is it were spending so much money on a programme, no matter how popular
:13:29. > :13:36.it is, just one programme? Or they let it go and they are criticised
:13:37. > :13:43.for giving up on... It is almost like letting go of the Crown Jewels.
:13:44. > :13:49.30 million viewers. How much is that worth? How many Chris Evans is it
:13:50. > :13:54.worth? The BBC will be slapped off what
:13:55. > :14:00.ever it does but it will be slapped off more, one suspects, if it spent
:14:01. > :14:05.the money than letting it go. The BBC, through the licence fee, part
:14:06. > :14:13.of its unwritten remit is to develop talent and develop formats. There is
:14:14. > :14:20.a future for you. Fill the gap in the schedule. Other programmes that
:14:21. > :14:24.have transferred they tend to lose that secret ingredient. If the
:14:25. > :14:33.format is changed or the presenters go, it changes. Surely they will
:14:34. > :14:41.reach the ceiling of viewing numbers by now and can Channel 4 improve on
:14:42. > :14:45.the recipe. Lets see if they can. Thank you to you both. The front
:14:46. > :14:53.pages are online on the BBC News website. You can see us there too
:14:54. > :14:59.with each night's edition of The Papers posted shortly after we
:15:00. > :15:00.finish. Once again, thanks for that. Much more coming up. Now the
:15:01. > :15:06.weather.
