:00:16. > :00:24.Welcome to our look ahead at the papers tomorrow. With me here Kate
:00:25. > :00:29.McCann of the telegraph and Jay Watts of the Independent. Quick look
:00:30. > :00:33.at the front pages. The FT have Theresa May's speech on our future
:00:34. > :00:37.departure from the EU, saying the Prime Minister managed to ease
:00:38. > :00:43.business fears of a so-called hard Brexit. I dominated by that speech.
:00:44. > :00:48.Newspaper highlights her assertion Britain will quit the single market.
:00:49. > :00:51.Metro says she played hard ball with the EU and warned it not to try to
:00:52. > :00:55.punish Britain in the exit negotiations. The Express has the
:00:56. > :01:00.same threat from the Prime Minister to abandon talks on a post Brexit
:01:01. > :01:04.deal with the EU if there's any attempt to impose punitive terms.
:01:05. > :01:12.The telegraph headlines her comment that no deal is better than a bad
:01:13. > :01:16.deal. So, Kate, the papers on the whole are pretty warm reception for
:01:17. > :01:19.Theresa May's speech. Yes, I don't think she could have hoped for
:01:20. > :01:23.better today or tomorrow. This is also going to be the highest point
:01:24. > :01:26.she's likely to reach in the two-year Brexit negotiation process,
:01:27. > :01:30.because we've not started negotiating yet. So Theresa May's
:01:31. > :01:34.setting out her hard ball as we've talked about. She's saying the EU
:01:35. > :01:38.needs to listen up, we're not going to take no for an answer, this is
:01:39. > :01:42.what we want. Underneath it all, there are softer tones saying we
:01:43. > :01:45.don't want to see the EU ruined. We don't want lots more Brexit or other
:01:46. > :01:49.countries to exit and we want you to be our friends. At the same time,
:01:50. > :01:53.this is not a game. We're not playing around here, we're going to
:01:54. > :01:57.drive a hard bargain and get a good deal for this country. All the
:01:58. > :02:00.headlines are supportive. The comment that's quoted on the front
:02:01. > :02:03.of the Telegraph, the plan represents a master class in common
:02:04. > :02:09.sense. She'll be delighted with that. Yeah, absolutely, she will.
:02:10. > :02:13.The front of the Telegraph that shows the challenge that newspapers
:02:14. > :02:16.are facing. There was so much news today, so many points, so much
:02:17. > :02:20.information on her negotiating stance. This is after woks and weeks
:02:21. > :02:25.that we've been gagging for any small detail of what she's going to
:02:26. > :02:31.do. Now she's thrown all this stuff out there. The news coverage has had
:02:32. > :02:34.to focus on it and hasn't so much focussed on the unanswered
:02:35. > :02:39.questions, there aren't many of them. If she's pleased with the
:02:40. > :02:43.telegraph, she's going to be thrilled with the Daily Mail. Steel
:02:44. > :02:47.of the new Iron Lady. I think this one will split opinion. It's very
:02:48. > :02:50.1980s throw back. That's probably the intention here. If you look at
:02:51. > :02:55.the tight face and the graphic. Theresa May basically dressed up
:02:56. > :02:59.there as you say, Margaret Thatcher. It's all about her, this is her
:03:00. > :03:03.moment. This is the toughest May is going to be able to be. Before we
:03:04. > :03:07.start negotiating, before she has to start compromising and before the
:03:08. > :03:10.country really starts to understand what Brexit means and like Joe says,
:03:11. > :03:14.there are lots of questions. One of the big unanswered questions is
:03:15. > :03:18.about the customs union. If you listen to what Theresa May said
:03:19. > :03:22.today, on the one hand she's saying we will have a phased exit from the
:03:23. > :03:26.EU. On the other she says there won't be a Troonational arrangement.
:03:27. > :03:31.She says we won't remain a member of the single market but will have
:03:32. > :03:36.access to the single market. We won't have a deal open to other
:03:37. > :03:40.countries on the customs, but we will pick and choose the bits we
:03:41. > :03:44.want. That's very difficult. We've skimmed the top line of the speech.
:03:45. > :03:50.In the days to come we have to see what actually that really means. We
:03:51. > :03:55.will, yeah. Metro, don't call me maybe. I don't know if that's a
:03:56. > :04:00.reference to the Economist front page that called her Theresa Maybe.
:04:01. > :04:03.This whole thing she couldn't make up her mind, what strategy she
:04:04. > :04:07.wanted. Do you think she's answered her critics with this speech? I
:04:08. > :04:14.think she may allow herself a sherry in Downing Street tonight. Is that
:04:15. > :04:18.her tipple? Yeah, it must be. She's probably there with Philip -
:04:19. > :04:22.Probably watching us! She's been accused of having no Brexit plan, of
:04:23. > :04:27.not knowing what she's doing. Turns out today that she did have a very
:04:28. > :04:30.clear idea of what she wanted. She talked about being disciplined,
:04:31. > :04:33.about how the Europeans have been disciplined and it showed today that
:04:34. > :04:38.she had a very clear message and she played the cards that she had very
:04:39. > :04:42.well. I think her party will be very pleased with it. This is one day. It
:04:43. > :04:48.was a good move in the chess game of politics. But the reality may kick
:04:49. > :04:53.in. So some commentators saying this may the last moment of control she
:04:54. > :04:59.has. What about the European reaction? In a sense, there was that
:05:00. > :05:03.threat in a way, if you don't give ace deal, a -- give us a decent deal
:05:04. > :05:07.there'll be no deal. Will they feel threatened? I think so. We'll see
:05:08. > :05:10.more of that in the days to come. Aside from the stark language she
:05:11. > :05:16.used, there were a number of references in the speech about the
:05:17. > :05:21.UK's security powers and how much we contribute to things like Europol.
:05:22. > :05:23.UK is the driving force behind that organisation, which protects the
:05:24. > :05:29.whole of the EU from terrorism. There were a number of references in
:05:30. > :05:32.her speech to if you don't give us a good deal, we might have to look
:05:33. > :05:35.again at the security powers. Number Ten sources trying to play that down
:05:36. > :05:39.tonight and say of course that's not a bargaining chip in. Reality, it's
:05:40. > :05:43.one of our most powerful cards. I would be surprise today she doesn't
:05:44. > :05:46.play it. The EU reaction will be muted at first. They want to see
:05:47. > :05:51.what's going to come of this. They want to understand what it means. If
:05:52. > :05:56.that issue is on the table, we'll see a fierce reaction to it. We're
:05:57. > :06:00.going to be discussing the papers in much greater detail in the next
:06:01. > :06:07.hour. For the moment, Kate, Joe, thank you very much indeed for being
:06:08. > :06:09.with us. We will be back at 11. 30pm with a more detailed look at the
:06:10. > :06:15.front pages. See you then.
