:00:00. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
:00:19. > :00:28.With me are the political editor of the Sunday Express,
:00:29. > :00:31.Caroline Wheeler, and the political commentator Jo Phillips.
:00:32. > :00:33.The Sunday Telegraph has an interview with former
:00:34. > :00:36.Prime Minister Tony Blair, in which he says inquiries
:00:37. > :00:38.into alleged abuses by British troops should never
:00:39. > :00:46.David Cameron's former spin doctor is quoted
:00:47. > :00:49.in the Mail on Sunday, where he reveals divisions sprang up
:00:50. > :00:52.between Cameron and Theresa May during the Brexit campaign.
:00:53. > :00:55.London's mayor Sadiq Khan claims in the Sunday Times that divisions
:00:56. > :00:57.in the Labour Party could lead to a split.
:00:58. > :01:02.The Sunday Express says the detective who brought double
:01:03. > :01:04.murderer Christopher Halliwell to justice believes he may also have
:01:05. > :01:08.killed the missing chef Claudia Lawrence.
:01:09. > :01:16.And the Sun reports that TV presenter Zoe Ball and her DJ
:01:17. > :01:20.husband Norman Cook are separating after 18 years together.
:01:21. > :01:28.Let us begin and start with the Sunday Times. Following on from the
:01:29. > :01:33.big story of the day, Jeremy Corbyn's re-election of the Labour
:01:34. > :01:37.leader. Sadiq Khan saying that a purge by Jeremy Corbyn could kill
:01:38. > :01:43.Labour. You think there will be a purge? I think I am not alone in
:01:44. > :01:47.thinking that the call for unity and wiping the slate clean up going to
:01:48. > :01:51.be very hard to deliver with the people involved and who are
:01:52. > :01:55.supporting Jeremy Corbyn. He has got huge support, he has an increased
:01:56. > :02:01.majority, beating Owen Smith comp reactively. He has got a mandate
:02:02. > :02:05.from the hundreds of thousands of people who have joined the Labour
:02:06. > :02:09.Party, but the question is, are they actually going to work with the
:02:10. > :02:13.shadow cabinet and the MPs in Parliament? Because without the
:02:14. > :02:18.support of the MPs in Parliament he hasn't actually got an effective
:02:19. > :02:26.opposition. He is just a leading protest group. Caroline, you have a
:02:27. > :02:31.story from the Sunday express. And you are saying there could
:02:32. > :02:39.effectively be a shadow cabinet in exile, so Labour moderates will be
:02:40. > :02:44.on the backbenches running a sort of shadow, shadow cabinet? Exactly. If
:02:45. > :02:47.you have spoken to any senior voices with a Labour Party recently they
:02:48. > :02:52.have been scratching their heads about where they can go next. They
:02:53. > :02:56.tried this fairly dramatic coup, which has backfired. It has made
:02:57. > :03:01.Jeremy Corbyn stronger, rather than weaker. It hasn't now he is in a
:03:02. > :03:05.position to start purging the party using boundary changes, as an
:03:06. > :03:12.opportunity to get rid off moderates. You think he will do
:03:13. > :03:15.that? Those are the indications we have been given, Batty has this
:03:16. > :03:19.opportunity to reintroduce shadow cabinet elections and doesn't look
:03:20. > :03:23.like he's desperately inclined to do that, which basically means he will
:03:24. > :03:28.be appointed cabinet. It remains to be seen whether he will be able to
:03:29. > :03:31.muster enough MPs to sit in at shadow cabinet and fulfil those
:03:32. > :03:35.roles, but we understand, and I've spoken to numerous moderates, who
:03:36. > :03:39.say actually they still think they have a role in the party, although
:03:40. > :03:45.not necessarily within the Jeremy Corbyn camp to hold Theresa May's
:03:46. > :03:50.government to account and they say they are various ways in which they
:03:51. > :03:52.can do this, one of them is sitting in internal policy committees,
:03:53. > :04:00.coming up with new ideas and in essence generating a kind of
:04:01. > :04:03.ulterior agenda for the Labour Party, even potentially an ulterior
:04:04. > :04:06.whipping system where they can counter selective education and
:04:07. > :04:12.bandwidth there are moderate MPs to vote in a certain way. It's a
:04:13. > :04:16.fascinating proposal. It is, but the question that you have to ask is why
:04:17. > :04:22.don't you put your tribalism to one side and actually go in with the
:04:23. > :04:27.Liberal Democrats? And just worry about the name later. I know a lot
:04:28. > :04:31.of Labour people would think that is madness, but everything is there,
:04:32. > :04:34.the structure is there. Just do it, because then you would automatically
:04:35. > :04:42.then become the opposition. You ask a question about the moderates
:04:43. > :04:45.regularly. There is this movement by Paddy Ashdown which is trying to
:04:46. > :04:49.unite the left and become a centrist party and get when you speak to any
:04:50. > :04:52.of the moderates and ask whether this is something they are
:04:53. > :04:56.considering, the answer usually comes back that no decision Labour
:04:57. > :05:01.Party and they aren't prepared to move away from that, but will limp
:05:02. > :05:05.on as they are under Jeremy Corbyn. Moving from divisions within the
:05:06. > :05:12.Labour Party to divisions within the Conservative Party. The Mail on
:05:13. > :05:17.Sunday have what they called the explosive book by Number 10's
:05:18. > :05:26.insider, David Cameron's former spin doctor. Watch the you make of these
:05:27. > :05:32.revelations in which apparently David Cameron begged Theresa May to
:05:33. > :05:36.come off the fence over Brexit but she refused so often. One of
:05:37. > :05:43.Cameron's allies asked if she was secretly an enemy agent. Really? It
:05:44. > :05:48.is colourful language and explosive, a Mail on Sunday serialisation of a
:05:49. > :05:53.book. They paid a lot of money for it because it probably won't sell
:05:54. > :05:57.many books, but you would think that these people had something better to
:05:58. > :06:06.do than keeping meticulous notes or reading other people's text messages
:06:07. > :06:11.but this bombshell exposures... David Cameron has a book, everyone
:06:12. > :06:19.else has a book. Tim Shipman is a journalist! Exactly. This is all
:06:20. > :06:23.really about, as Caroline said before, this wouldn't be about
:06:24. > :06:28.Theresa May if she wasn't the Prime Minister. They've picked on the bits
:06:29. > :06:33.about her apparently failing to support David Cameron on 13 separate
:06:34. > :06:41.occasions which are then detailed in large print. Her sphinxlike approach
:06:42. > :06:45.is becoming difficult. You know... We knew all of that, didn't we? We
:06:46. > :06:52.knew she was playing a clever game which in the end paid off. But also
:06:53. > :06:58.is his thing about personalities. There was never a sense that there
:06:59. > :07:01.was any warmth between Theresa May and David Cameron. The fact that she
:07:02. > :07:05.is the longest serving Home Secretary since the Second World War
:07:06. > :07:09.and is actually regarded to have done a very good job and been a
:07:10. > :07:12.steady pair of hands on many things, but she has made some quite
:07:13. > :07:21.devastating attacks on the public school boys. That said David Cameron
:07:22. > :07:26.was involved in it. It is also about rewriting history, knowing now that
:07:27. > :07:31.we have Theresa May as the Prime Minister. At the relegation that are
:07:32. > :07:35.more interesting are not the ones about Theresa May, but those that we
:07:36. > :07:39.picked out before, this idea that Boris Johnson said these text
:07:40. > :07:43.messages just nine minutes before he said he was going to campaign for
:07:44. > :07:48.the leadership. Essentially saying, don't worry, David, I will campaign
:07:49. > :07:52.for Leave, but we will be crushed. There's no chance will win. This
:07:53. > :08:00.kind of duplicitous as is staggering. Tim Shipman has a book
:08:01. > :08:06.as well. Briefly run through what that is saying about what happened
:08:07. > :08:13.between David Cameron and Theresa May. It is the same sort of thing.
:08:14. > :08:18.David Cameron branded Theresa May livid after he said she would drop
:08:19. > :08:22.plans of immigration. This goes back to 2014 when David Cameron was
:08:23. > :08:29.planning to make a speech. He wanted to come in with a very tough deal,
:08:30. > :08:34.and emergency brake on the number of EU migrants, but it was well-known
:08:35. > :08:39.that Angela Merkel wouldn't have accepted that, and so David Cameron
:08:40. > :08:44.did a deal which was cutting the benefits to new arrivals. But again
:08:45. > :08:49.this is sort of rewriting history slightly to say that because Philip
:08:50. > :08:53.Hammond, who was the then Foreign Secretary, and Theresa May refused
:08:54. > :09:00.to back David Cameron, but what they did say is that you would look a bit
:09:01. > :09:07.of it it if you stand up there and say this and then Angela Merkel
:09:08. > :09:11.says, don't be ridiculous! The final point while we are on internal
:09:12. > :09:17.divisions, David Cameron and Michael Gove, who were huge friends, and the
:09:18. > :09:21.men and their wives have been close for more than a decade according to
:09:22. > :09:26.the Sunday Telegraph. And they haven't spoken since Brexit,
:09:27. > :09:30.apparently. I am not desperately surprised by that at all. It is well
:09:31. > :09:34.known they were close, and the Prime Minister did feel an enormous sense
:09:35. > :09:39.of betrayal and felt Michael Gove was going to have his back in this.
:09:40. > :09:43.He knew he was a Brexiteer and as far as understand Michael Gove had
:09:44. > :09:46.led him to believe he was going to play a more genial role in the
:09:47. > :09:51.campaign and the Prime Minister was genuinely staggered to find out that
:09:52. > :09:55.he was then going to be the sort of many head of Leave and was going to
:09:56. > :09:59.lead the campaign and that came as a blow to him. But of course there
:10:00. > :10:05.were other unsavoury things said, all about their relationship in
:10:06. > :10:12.various newspaper columns by Michael Gove's wife that wouldn't have gone
:10:13. > :10:16.down well. There was apparently an attempt by Michael Gove to make
:10:17. > :10:20.ridges with Boris Johnson, although I understand some of those overtures
:10:21. > :10:25.have been rejected. The bridges have not been built. I imagine Boris
:10:26. > :10:29.Johnson would delight in saying he is too busy. But of course he has
:10:30. > :10:35.actually done quite well out of it. Boris Johnson has had the second
:10:36. > :10:42.life as the Foreign Secretary and is doing quite well. And Michael Gove
:10:43. > :10:48.less so. Less so. He does cut quite a lonely figure these days. I am
:10:49. > :10:53.sure you choose him up when we say hello. We just a cost everybody we
:10:54. > :10:59.see. You will talk to anybody! You should be careful! Talking about
:11:00. > :11:03.some of the more important issues, like what will happen to The Great
:11:04. > :11:06.British Bake Off. The Sunday Times says the BBC are turning off the
:11:07. > :11:11.heat with a rival programme, the gloss of course they have got three
:11:12. > :11:15.of the stars still, but you wonder whether that is allowed under the
:11:16. > :11:20.copyright rules. Yes, I presume the copyright belongs to the company
:11:21. > :11:24.that came up with the format. The BBC did it, took a gamble, it has
:11:25. > :11:28.been hugely successful and the company had sold that format. That's
:11:29. > :11:33.what happens in television. It seems the BBC is cooking up something. In
:11:34. > :11:39.terms of a rival show. You won't have to do much, because they have
:11:40. > :11:44.got the main ingredients. You just need to tinker with the format a
:11:45. > :11:51.little bit, change the name, Strictly Come Baking. What else did
:11:52. > :12:00.we come up with? It could be the Hairy Bakers. Absolutely. And let's
:12:01. > :12:06.talk about Strictly. Poor old Ed Balls made his debut and it didn't
:12:07. > :12:11.go too well. Maybe this is where Michael Gove should go. This is
:12:12. > :12:17.about careers for politicians, when life beckons beyond... They do like
:12:18. > :12:21.to line these people up. We all love an underdog and generally we could
:12:22. > :12:27.see that a mile off, that he made bigger said underdog. But it is the
:12:28. > :12:32.British thing of thinking he is a good sport, he doesn't mind making a
:12:33. > :12:39.full lock himself. After the debut, he is bottom of the leaderboard, I'm
:12:40. > :12:43.afraid. They said he was quite conservative. I must say the
:12:44. > :12:48.trousers look very uncomfortable. He is apparently madly disappointed.
:12:49. > :12:53.I'm not sure what he was expecting. I would have thought that even in
:12:54. > :12:58.your wildest dreams you are not going to be top. Good sport for
:12:59. > :13:03.trying. He will be in panto somewhere this Christmas. This is
:13:04. > :13:05.where politicians and up. And Celebrity Big Brother and all those
:13:06. > :13:10.other things. Coming up next, it's
:13:11. > :13:14.The Film Review.
