:00:16. > :00:19.to what the the papers will be With me are Ben Riley-Smith,
:00:20. > :00:21.assistant political editor of the Daily Telegraph
:00:22. > :00:23.and Kate Devlin, Westminster Thank you for joining us. Let us
:00:24. > :00:35.look at the front-pages first. The I's front page is dominated
:00:36. > :00:37.by the Conservative cabinet ministers and MPs criticising
:00:38. > :00:40.the government's decision to make Heathrow its preferred
:00:41. > :00:41.choice for a new runway. The Metro also leads
:00:42. > :00:43.with that story, under The Telegraph says Zac Goldsmith's
:00:44. > :00:51.resignation from the Commons, sparked by the Heathrow decision,
:00:52. > :00:54.has caused what it calls a "Brexit by-election" with the Liberal
:00:55. > :00:56.democrats likely to fight it The Express carries a claim
:00:57. > :01:02.by International Development Secretary Priti Patel that UK
:01:03. > :01:04.money is being wasted on what the paper calls undeserving
:01:05. > :01:09.foreign aid projects. The Guardian's obtained what it
:01:10. > :01:13.claims is a leaked recording of remarks Theresa May made
:01:14. > :01:15.in a meeting with investment bankers, when she apparently
:01:16. > :01:18.expressed worries about the economic Don't have your baby out of hours
:01:19. > :01:24.is the stark warning from the Mail, which says three out of four NHS
:01:25. > :01:27.labour wards have no consultant The Times leads with Heathrow,
:01:28. > :01:34.but it also reports that drugs companies that hike
:01:35. > :01:38.up their prices excessively face huge fines after the UK's
:01:39. > :01:54.competition watchdog opened up The Sun say Sir Cliff Richard's
:01:55. > :01:57.lawyers have evidence of texts sent prior to a raid on his home two
:01:58. > :02:02.years ago, he is suing the force and the BBC.
:02:03. > :02:09.Well, let us begin, shall we talk about an airport? We better had. It
:02:10. > :02:14.is the only story round. It S let us start with the front-page of the i,
:02:15. > :02:18.the big headline Tory rebels let fly on Heathrow, with pictures of Boris
:02:19. > :02:23.Johnson, Zac Goldsmith and the Education Secretary. I suppose given
:02:24. > :02:27.that Theresa May has allowed this period of openness, it was entirely
:02:28. > :02:31.predictable they would come out in opposition, but they have pulled no
:02:32. > :02:35.punches. They haven't. Downing Street was very keen to emphasise
:02:36. > :02:41.that you know, there has been 40 years of dithering and it has only
:02:42. > :02:46.taken them four months to take this decision it has only taken them four
:02:47. > :02:51.Mondays of Government to rewrite the rules, and give this, you know
:02:52. > :02:54.extraordinary dispensation to the Foreign Secretary, to the Education
:02:55. > :02:57.Secretary, to come out and criticise their own Government. It is very
:02:58. > :03:02.interesting what they have said as well. Boris, being Boris has said a
:03:03. > :03:07.lot of things about it today, including predicting that London
:03:08. > :03:11.would be awash with planes. But I am not surprised the i has pulled out
:03:12. > :03:16.this word. He said it is undeliverable. So we from Foreign
:03:17. > :03:20.Secretary predicting his own Prime Minister's ?17 billion project is
:03:21. > :03:26.going to fail. It is like the Brexit campaign all over again. It is. I
:03:27. > :03:30.was just about to say. One wonders how this genie can be put back in
:03:31. > :03:34.the bottle eventually, buzz they have this period of Purdah or what
:03:35. > :03:40.you want to call it, how can they forget these things have been said.
:03:41. > :03:43.What they will hope is people like Boris and Justine took today to get
:03:44. > :03:47.their statement out today, whenever they are asked in the future, they
:03:48. > :03:52.can say I have made my feelings clear, they are there on the record
:03:53. > :03:56.and point back to them. That is an optimistic view, especially from
:03:57. > :04:02.Zac, who has resigned, Zac Goldsmith resigned. He is running as an
:04:03. > :04:05.independent in a by-election. He will hammer the Government on
:04:06. > :04:09.Heathrow, if he wins, and that will be seen as a victory for the
:04:10. > :04:13.anti-Heathrow campaign, so that will be another blow. Like you say, we
:04:14. > :04:18.don't know how long it will be caught up in the court, how long the
:04:19. > :04:23.consultation period will be, whether it will disappear as a Tory split
:04:24. > :04:27.issue. There is this strange thing, that the opponent, the political
:04:28. > :04:33.opponents can make their opposition plain in TV studios but not in the
:04:34. > :04:39.House of Commons? Yes yes, that was a very key demand that Theresa May
:04:40. > :04:44.made, she made them request permission from her, to be able to
:04:45. > :04:49.say these thing, but she told them point blank they wouldn't be able to
:04:50. > :04:53.say them in the House of Commons. But of course, Zac Goldsmith is not
:04:54. > :04:58.a member of the Cabinet. He is not being held by these rules, and he,
:04:59. > :05:02.you know, he gave it both barrels in the House of Commons today. They
:05:03. > :05:08.managed to kind of get both of these, they also announced they
:05:09. > :05:11.would give this special dispensation a week ago, presumably in a bid to
:05:12. > :05:15.head it off, headlines like this, and it doesn't appear to have
:05:16. > :05:19.worked. Indeed. Let us move on to the telegraph now, with the story
:05:20. > :05:24.you alluded to, Ben. Your own newspaper of course. Heathrow forces
:05:25. > :05:27.May into a Brexit Bentaleb shirntion triggered by the resignation of Zac
:05:28. > :05:30.Goldsmith. What is interesting is that Zac Goldsmith said he wanted
:05:31. > :05:35.this to be a referendum this by-election to be a referendum on
:05:36. > :05:40.Heathrow, but how can it be, because the Conservatives won't put a
:05:41. > :05:45.candidate up against him. And the Lib Dem a candidate is likely to be
:05:46. > :05:52.anti-Heathrow as well. It turns it into what will become a Brexit
:05:53. > :05:56.by-election, Because? 71% of people in Zac Goldsmith's constituency
:05:57. > :06:00.voted to remain, he was a very ardent Brexiteer, the Lib Dems are
:06:01. > :06:06.the party who have gone out of their way to be as pro-EU as possible,
:06:07. > :06:09.openly pushing for a second referendum, being accused of not
:06:10. > :06:16.listening to the British people, but they see an opportunity to represent
:06:17. > :06:23.the 48%, and pick up key by-elections like this one, you have
:06:24. > :06:26.Lib Dems and a badly pro-EU party fighting against a former Tory
:06:27. > :06:32.candidate who was a big Brexiteer, so it is going to be about the EU.
:06:33. > :06:38.That versus probably Zac's charisma so it will be a fascinating battle.
:06:39. > :06:43.Is this something the Prime Minister should have for seen or could have
:06:44. > :06:47.for seen? Zac has never been that quiet in coming forward and
:06:48. > :06:53.suggesting he might do this. But the fact it might become an anti-Brexit
:06:54. > :06:57.campaign? I see. I think that is probably something they should have
:06:58. > :07:02.thought avenlt it is quite difficult -- about. It is quite difficult.
:07:03. > :07:06.They are stwung way or another. This is smart politics so the
:07:07. > :07:09.Conservatives cannot lose this by-election, so they can't lose on
:07:10. > :07:13.Heathrow. And in a loft ways that was probably the most sensible thing
:07:14. > :07:18.they could do, is just to withdraw themselves from the race.
:07:19. > :07:22.The other The other thing this does, is it takes what was a very slim
:07:23. > :07:27.majority for Theresa May this morning, a majority of 12, instantly
:07:28. > :07:31.makes it a majority of 11, that is very serious problem for her as
:07:32. > :07:34.well. So what you saw in the Conservative statement, saying they
:07:35. > :07:41.were going to stand against him was a lot of praise for Zac, so clearly
:07:42. > :07:48.the hope is when he comes back, that he might, you know, vote with the
:07:49. > :07:55.Conservatives. That might just be optimistic. You can imagine them...
:07:56. > :08:03.Theresa May needs every boat she can get. She only has a working vote of
:08:04. > :08:07.11. A A bad case of flu running rampant and she is stuffed. Let us
:08:08. > :08:12.look at one more Heathrow story, on the front-page of the Metro, the
:08:13. > :08:17.headline is air rage, it is about Theresa May's problems in her own
:08:18. > :08:21.backyard, in her own constituency, and the paper says that she is
:08:22. > :08:27.potentially guilty of having committed something of a U-turn over
:08:28. > :08:32.Heathrow. Heathrow. David Cameron got hammer with this, no ifs, no
:08:33. > :08:35.buts then began to turn round and have this independent commission and
:08:36. > :08:41.prepare the ground for a U turn on Heathrow. He left office before it
:08:42. > :08:45.got to that point, but Theresa May backed all similar sentiments, there
:08:46. > :08:54.were leaflets that have had her saying I will fight to stop the
:08:55. > :08:59.Heathrow runway. It is perfectly acceptable. But Maidenhead, her own
:09:00. > :09:03.council is one of four Tory councils that will sue her own Government
:09:04. > :09:08.over the Heathrow third runway. It is remarkable, that will play out
:09:09. > :09:13.again, over years, so that is not go to go away. Can I draw your
:09:14. > :09:16.attention, Kate, to another headline in the Guardian, moving on the a
:09:17. > :09:21.different story but more problems for Theresa May. This is what the
:09:22. > :09:24.Guardian claims is an exclusive. A leaked recording revealing what
:09:25. > :09:31.Theresa May thinks about Brexit. This is from a recording to a speech
:09:32. > :09:38.she gave to a group of economists at Goldman Sachs in which she was quite
:09:39. > :09:41.warm about the EU. She was, she was one about what might happen to the
:09:42. > :09:46.banking industry if we voted for Brexit. What she suggested was that
:09:47. > :09:50.lots of banks may need to go abroad, and I think this is really
:09:51. > :09:53.interesting story, because it is interesting to think where these
:09:54. > :09:59.stories have come from, you are right, it is a taped record, it was
:10:00. > :10:05.made in May, but at the weekend, we had the shop steward for the bankers
:10:06. > :10:08.suggest that maybe banks might go abroad after Brexit. And the
:10:09. > :10:15.industry has been hammered for that for a couple of days. Suddenly, we
:10:16. > :10:18.find a tape recording suggesting that the Prime Minister is very
:10:19. > :10:22.sympathetic to their cause and indeed suggested before the vote
:10:23. > :10:26.that I may need to do this. I think it is an interesting story. You
:10:27. > :10:32.smell a bit of a set up there, do you sno? Well... Somebody has leaked
:10:33. > :10:37.it. Somebody has leaked it. It certainly puts bankers in a better
:10:38. > :10:41.light. The one thing you would say adds secret recordings go that get
:10:42. > :10:46.leaked, there is no smoking gun in here that will be used to undermine
:10:47. > :10:50.Theresa May, she is saying there is a good economic argument for staying
:10:51. > :10:54.in the EU and there is a chance some firms might think again if it is
:10:55. > :11:03.Brexit. That that was close to her public position. Should we be that
:11:04. > :11:06.surprised. She was a remainor, perhaps some see over the financial
:11:07. > :11:12.sector, that this isn't going to damage her massively in the long
:11:13. > :11:18.run. Let us go back to the Metro, and to the big photograph of, they
:11:19. > :11:23.have at the top. Jungle ablaze, this is a reference to the fact that the
:11:24. > :11:27.Jungle camp at Calais is starting to be demolished. With people still
:11:28. > :11:30.living there. Which ever way you look at it, this particular story in
:11:31. > :11:35.the demolition of the Jungle, it is not a solution to any sort of
:11:36. > :11:40.problem, is it? No, and you feel it is only just beginning, because they
:11:41. > :11:43.are about seven, eight nine thousand refugees at the beginning of the
:11:44. > :11:48.week, they begun clearing them out. The problem is all those who wanted
:11:49. > :11:53.to go and were happy to go have left, there is a nub of people,
:11:54. > :11:57.saying I don't want to go, I want to get to Britain this is the best
:11:58. > :12:01.place for me to be, that throughout the rest of the week is when it is
:12:02. > :12:04.going to get trickier, when they will need to foribly remove some of
:12:05. > :12:09.these people and that is when some of the scenes that have only been on
:12:10. > :12:13.the periphery could get worse, all the people have been moved, those
:12:14. > :12:17.asylum claims haven't disappeared, they are in different parts of
:12:18. > :12:21.France, will they return and try to get into Britain. The refugee crisis
:12:22. > :12:25.is nowhere near finished by demolishing one camp. Do you think
:12:26. > :12:28.that in the days to come, we are going to see some difficult scenes
:12:29. > :12:33.with people who are determined to get to the UK or determined not the
:12:34. > :12:37.leave, that in a sense, you know, it has been fairly peaceful to now, it
:12:38. > :12:43.is going to get harder. It has and the approach the French authorities
:12:44. > :12:48.are taking is, is as Ben says an attempt to try and persuade people,
:12:49. > :12:52.they are doing it gradually, they are trying to take down buildings,
:12:53. > :12:57.you know, building by building, bit by bit, rather than going for a kind
:12:58. > :13:00.of enforced confrontation, the problem they will face is that the
:13:01. > :13:04.expectation is that hundreds of people will still try to stay by the
:13:05. > :13:10.end of the week, and then what are they going to do? I am going to
:13:11. > :13:14.return boat of you to what may feel like ancient history, we have had so
:13:15. > :13:18.much politics but cast your minds back to the general election
:13:19. > :13:24.campaign of last year, and the Ed stone which the i is going to have
:13:25. > :13:29.some fun with. Photo at the bottom. How Ed stone returns to haunt
:13:30. > :13:37.Labour. How can a disaster happen twice? You thought the Ed stone can
:13:38. > :13:42.do no more damaged. It has got them a ?20,000 fine from the Electoral
:13:43. > :13:46.Commission, and I think it cost about seven-and-a-half grand the Ed
:13:47. > :13:50.stone, that was part of more than ?100,000 that the Labour Party
:13:51. > :13:55.failed to register properly with the Commission, and today it has been
:13:56. > :13:59.announced they have been fined 20,00 pounds, they blamed on an admin
:14:00. > :14:07.error, but it is a second bout of embarrassment. It has been very
:14:08. > :14:11.expensive. Was so much money ever so ill spent? The problem is Labour
:14:12. > :14:15.were warned this would be a problem, this isn't actually the first Ed
:14:16. > :14:21.Stone they tried to do. They tried to do one during the Scottish
:14:22. > :14:28.independence referendum, it was killed off by a kind of Labour
:14:29. > :14:33.politicians in Scotland, insisting it would look ridiculous, doing a
:14:34. > :14:38.mock-up to show how badly it would go down, they managed to kill off
:14:39. > :14:42.the idea. Nine months before it was resurrected for the Ed Stone. On the
:14:43. > :14:48.grounds it would look like a tombstone. Which is what it came to
:14:49. > :14:51.be named after all. There must be some red faces Echeverria more so
:14:52. > :14:56.than before. Thank you. That it is for The Papers tonight. All the
:14:57. > :15:01.front pages are are online on the BBC website where you can read a
:15:02. > :15:07.detailed review. It is all there, seven days a week. You can see us
:15:08. > :15:11.there too, with each night's edition of The Papers being posted shortly
:15:12. > :15:14.after we finish, so thank you very much.
