than the pro-Brexit seats, who have a double hill to climb, if you like, | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
but Labour MPs are not happy today. We have two very senior journalists | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
here, much better than those two! It here, much better than those two! It | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
is good to see you both. We'll have a full edition of The | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
Papers at 11:30, but Laura Perrins, co-editor of political website | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
the Conservative Women, and Joe Watts, political | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
editor at the Independent, This is an amuse-bouche of the | :00:23. | :00:33. | |
papers before the news, why did she do it? A reluctant decision, but | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
certainly the right decision for the country, because what this general | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
election will do, if the Conservatives win it, it will | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
strengthen her negotiating position against Brussels in the Brexit | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
negotiations. Secondly, it will bring stability to the economy, we | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
have already seen sterling rise today on calling this election, and, | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
thirdly, it will bring certainty for thirdly, it will bring certainty for | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
at least five years, which will go through the negotiations and after, | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
so the right decision for the country. OK, Joe, the front page of | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
the Daily Telegraph, May's bolt of the blue, what do you think? Well, I | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
think it is a good idea for her, strategically speaking, she will be | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
really reluctant about accepting a landslide victory and all those | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
extra seats to let her do what you once. She very clearly talks in this | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
piece about bringing forward her vision of Brexit, you know, she is | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
very clearly putting the focus on her. She has seen the opinion polls, | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
and she has seen not only how far her party is ahead, but also how far | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
she is ahead of Jeremy Corbyn. She is putting the focus on her, it will | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
be about her, pushing through her version of Brexit. And while there | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
is this big push to suggest that she very recently and reluctantly made | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
this decision, just in the last few days, there has clearly been an | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
element of contingency planning, even if the final decision was not | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
made until recently. A lot of thought has gone into this decision. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
Briefly onto the Daily Mirror, the lady is for U-turning, so can she be | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
trusted? It is important to remember that it is not just a question of | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
what she likes in terms of Brexit, she is going back to the people yet | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
again, essentially, for a mandate for Brexit. I mean, up until now, | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
there were certain factions on the political left asking for a second | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
referendum. They have essentially got that, and yet they are still not | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
happy. It is very clear that it will be the people who decide, it will be | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
the people's mandate that gives the go-ahead in relation to how to | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
negotiate on Brexit. I mean, she cannot be criticised for calling | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
Aidan McArdle held election. That is what the Micras years. -- for | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
calling a critically held election. Theresa May has characterised this | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
as the Brexit election, bad news for Labour? Their Brexit policy is all | :03:05. | :03:15. | |
over the shop! Theresa May, very much to the detriment of Ukip, has | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
made the Tory party the party of Brexit, taking the harder stance is | :03:20. | :03:32. | |
that people in her party wanted. The Lib Dems are calling for a second | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
referendum, and Labour is caught in referendum, and Labour is caught in | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
the middle with some northern seats where the population were very much | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
for Brexit, and some seats in south London and other areas where the | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
seats were very much pro Remain. So they have a difficult tightrope to | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
walk, and it does not make for a very clear manifesto message. Very | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
briefly, the Financial Times, May calls snap election to strengthen | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
hand in Brexit talks. That is what this is about. Absolutely, and if | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
you are British and working and employed in Britain, you want your | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Prime Minister to have the strongest hand possible when going into | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
negotiations. You want your team playing their best players, and that | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
is what this election will give her. All right, that was the starter, the | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
main courses at 11:30. Now time for a look at the weather with Tomasz | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
Schafernaker. A lot of clear weather this evening, | :04:34. | :04:43. | |
temperatures falling rapidly, we are in for a frost across central and | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
southern areas of the UK tonight. Last night, Scotland was the coldest | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
place, down to | :04:52. | :04:52. |
