:00:14. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:17. > :00:22.With me are the former Labour political advisor,
:00:23. > :00:24.Ayesha Hazarika, and Neil Midgley, media commentator at
:00:25. > :00:34.We are going to be gained with a reminder of the breaking news which
:00:35. > :00:41.makes it onto the front of one of the pages tomorrow morning, the
:00:42. > :00:48.resignation of Diane James, the MEP elected 18 days ago to lead the
:00:49. > :00:54.party, Ukip. That is the head in the Times. Ukip leader quitting after
:00:55. > :00:59.three weeks. Full marks for getting it on this quickly. Great scoop by
:01:00. > :01:04.Lucy Fisher in terms of getting the scoop. This story is extraordinary
:01:05. > :01:09.and I don't think we'll get to the bottom of it for some time. A report
:01:10. > :01:15.said she felt shaken after being spat on on a train on the way to
:01:16. > :01:19.Cardiff but I think there is more to it. The key line in the resignation
:01:20. > :01:25.is that she does not have the sufficient authority nor support of
:01:26. > :01:29.her colleagues and party, indicating that there were rules she wanted to
:01:30. > :01:37.change, questions she was asking about finances so I think it allude
:01:38. > :01:42.to something much murkier going on. And rats fighting in a very small
:01:43. > :01:47.sac. There is a question about whether Ukip still has a role in the
:01:48. > :01:51.post-referendum Britain, what do they stand for, what do they want,
:01:52. > :01:57.what is their pitch to the electorate? Nigel Farage has been
:01:58. > :02:04.the leader at least twice. They want him to come back! Technically he may
:02:05. > :02:13.still be the leader because she has said she has not formally become the
:02:14. > :02:22.leader. For ever Farage! Steven Woolfe, who was the Ukip the hope
:02:23. > :02:27.against the Labour Party in the North, there is some weirdness about
:02:28. > :02:37.him not getting his papers in on time. I don't think it was 18
:02:38. > :02:43.minutes. It is like Stranger Things, these strange things happening in
:02:44. > :02:52.Ukip. One difficulty happening with Ukip, the Times has done it and now
:02:53. > :02:58.the Daily Telegraph. Presume the others will be dependent.
:02:59. > :03:04.Interesting that Diane James Haskell in her statement to the Times -- has
:03:05. > :03:16.given her statement. And it is on the day of Theresa May's big speech
:03:17. > :03:21.at the Tory party conference. Getting the news before 9pm, when
:03:22. > :03:28.the paper goes to bed. It sets the agenda. The Daily Mail is doing its
:03:29. > :03:36.bit tomorrow, Ayesha, with its very bold image, Theresa May savaging
:03:37. > :03:45.leave the liberal -- savaging the liberal elite. We are all liberal!
:03:46. > :03:50.What is really interesting is that I think that Theresa May's speech is
:03:51. > :03:54.not going to have many nuggets of policy, it looks like they have
:03:55. > :03:59.briefed out the interesting policy things, the timing of Article 50,
:04:00. > :04:06.the thing about overseas doctors and immigration. The key message they
:04:07. > :04:11.want to get to the country is a big patriotic message, a big appeal.
:04:12. > :04:15.Ironically I think it is to the Ukip voters and those who voted for
:04:16. > :04:19.Brexit, saying that we've heard you, we get what you are saying and we
:04:20. > :04:25.are on your side. It is more about tone. We have Eneko on the front of
:04:26. > :04:37.the Daily Express, the message that they won't grovel to Brussels. -- we
:04:38. > :04:46.have an echo. According to the press Association, Liam Fox this evening
:04:47. > :04:50.was casting doubt on the quality of the CVs of the trade negotiators who
:04:51. > :04:54.may be a part of the British team. It would be a strange interview
:04:55. > :05:01.where the interviewer says, would you grovel to Brussels and Theresa
:05:02. > :05:06.May would say, just a bit. Of course she has to talk tough and Theresa
:05:07. > :05:10.May personally has played a very strong tactical game, staying
:05:11. > :05:15.relatively neutral during the referendum campaign itself so now
:05:16. > :05:23.she can pretend to be all things to all men and women. Particularly to
:05:24. > :05:27.disenfranchised Labour voters. The stark thing that stood out to meet
:05:28. > :05:31.at the Labour conference was that the Labour Party has no answer to
:05:32. > :05:36.the many millions of natural Labour supporters who want curbs on
:05:37. > :05:42.immigration. The Labour Party just isn't speaking to that and Theresa
:05:43. > :05:47.May comes from relatively modest background herself, she is able to
:05:48. > :05:51.say once again, as Margaret Thatcher did in the 80s: we are the parties
:05:52. > :05:58.of the aspirational working-class -- the party. Picking up on what Niall
:05:59. > :06:01.said, looking at the front of the Guardian, Theresa May calling on the
:06:02. > :06:11.Tories to seize the centre ground. Papers will take the editorial line.
:06:12. > :06:16.You briefed the papers to things that may appeal to their readers.
:06:17. > :06:20.People will feel that her initial big picture on the steps of Downing
:06:21. > :06:30.Street was very much that they are going to rules from the centre,
:06:31. > :06:33.almost like an Ed Miliband speech, like one government, but I think the
:06:34. > :06:38.reality will be different. I think Neill is right, they need a
:06:39. > :06:43.political and strategic decision to go after the northern heartlands
:06:44. > :06:47.where they will try to settle. They know that Labour is soft in those
:06:48. > :06:52.areas because of the Brexit vote and immigration issues. Difficult for
:06:53. > :06:58.Labour to navigate through the Freedom of movement stuff. Diane
:06:59. > :07:03.James and Ukip couldn't come at a better time for Theresa May. Her
:07:04. > :07:08.policies, grammar schools, immigration, that is catnip to that
:07:09. > :07:12.kind of right wing, people who are interested. She's saying to Ukip
:07:13. > :07:17.voters, come back to the Conservative Party. This talk of the
:07:18. > :07:26.centre ground is for the birds. Right! Fact! Not closing the deficit
:07:27. > :07:32.by the end of the Parliament, the people who care about that.
:07:33. > :07:37.Extraordinary because for years the Labour Party have been said that
:07:38. > :07:41.their policy of borrowing more to invest was irresponsible but now
:07:42. > :07:44.that rule has been ripped up. There is that think that in government you
:07:45. > :07:52.can fairly shamelessly pick from what the other parties have and you
:07:53. > :08:00.don't get access match -- you don't get too much flak. This fund from
:08:01. > :08:07.and am -- announced from Amber Rudd today. The living wage. Diane James
:08:08. > :08:15.said in her first conference speech, she called Theresa May magpie May
:08:16. > :08:19.because she was collecting policies and the grammar school policy was a
:08:20. > :08:22.Ukip policy. One thing in the Guardian piece, Theresa May
:08:23. > :08:27.attacking the Labour Party saying that they have not just been divided
:08:28. > :08:35.as a party, they have divided the country. I have issue with that,
:08:36. > :08:38.Labour is very divided. At least Ukip have made us look better but I
:08:39. > :08:43.don't think anybody would say that the Labour Party policies are
:08:44. > :08:48.defined in the country. Grammar schools are very divisive. Hardline
:08:49. > :08:51.talk on immigration, doctors going back, that is pretty divisive stuff
:08:52. > :09:01.and she will have a big row with Scotland over Brexit. The big idea
:09:02. > :09:06.that... I think she will be far more divisive. If Jeremy Corbyn and the
:09:07. > :09:10.Labour Party had done the right kind of job with their supporters in the
:09:11. > :09:15.referendum vote, we would have had a Remain vote and the country would
:09:16. > :09:19.now be united in membership of the European Union, that is the
:09:20. > :09:29.divisiveness of the Labour Party, internal fighting, not doing what it
:09:30. > :09:34.needs to do with the big issues in the country. The Labour Party is
:09:35. > :09:46.definitely divided. Nothing was more divisive than the referendum result
:09:47. > :09:50.and it is your guide's fault. -- your guy. The Guardian look like
:09:51. > :09:57.they have some fashion advice for if the Prime Minister gets into tough
:09:58. > :10:05.negotiations with the EU. And some advice from Kim Kardashian and Kanye
:10:06. > :10:11.West, apparently hiring doubles. Going to the Metro, bumpy Brexit
:10:12. > :10:19.ahead, a slightly different take on her words. Yes and in particular on
:10:20. > :10:23.Philip Hammond's words. Good cop bad cop I think, Philip Hammond is
:10:24. > :10:28.saying as Chancellor, you know, it is looking bleak and it will be a
:10:29. > :10:33.roller-coaster and it may look all right at the moment but choppy
:10:34. > :10:40.economic waters ahead and then Boadicea Theresa comes along in her
:10:41. > :10:45.chariot and says we are patriotic, tough, the party of the working
:10:46. > :10:50.classes the same as everybody else. Clearly it is going to be bumpy
:10:51. > :10:55.ahead. There's one sentence that sooner or later must come out of a
:10:56. > :11:02.Conservative's mouth, either we want to stay in the single market or we
:11:03. > :11:07.don't. That will be the decisive point that will decide how bumpy it
:11:08. > :11:13.gets stuck last word. The Chancellor Philip Hammond summed it up when he
:11:14. > :11:18.said that nobody voted to get poorer when they made the decision, time
:11:19. > :11:20.will tell. The IMF have said that they were possibly overly
:11:21. > :11:24.pessimistic but they are still worried about the future. Ending on
:11:25. > :11:33.a download! Thank you for joining us. -- down note. A reminder of the
:11:34. > :11:37.breaking news about Diane James's decision to quit as Ukip leader
:11:38. > :11:39.after 18 days because she says she does not have the authority to make
:11:40. > :11:56.the changes she needs. Still a relatively quiet and
:11:57. > :12:01.tranquil scene over the UK over the next few days in stark contrast to
:12:02. > :12:02.the devastation brought by
