11/06/2017 The Papers

Hello. This is BBC News with Martine Croxall.

We'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment,

first the headlines at just after 11pm.

Theresa May battles back amid speculation over her leadership

a full five-year term as prime minister, and says it's time

What I am feeling is that actually there is a job to be done.

And I think what the public want is to

ensure that the government is getting on with the job.

Meanwhile, he's back in the cabinet -

Michael Gove returns in a reshuffle, a year after Theresa may sacked him.

Police investigating the Manchester concert

bombing say they're now sure the attacker, Salman Abedi,

And further success for France's Emmanuel Macron

as his party looks set to secure a huge majority

in the country's parliamentary elections.

Still dizzy from the experience of an hour ago, hello and welcome to

what to make our look at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

With us are Yasmin Alibhai Brown and Economic Adviser for Arbuthnot Ruth

Lea. Welcome to you both. Rebecca Hunter and an Jarran Reed

believe you should have your own show! There you go! Let's begin.

Tomorrow's front pages starting with the i...

It leads with the news that one of the big hitters of the Leave

campaign is back in government as Michael Gove is made environment

The Metro uses George Osborne's description

of the Prime Minister as a "dead woman walking" for its headline,

with the former chancellor saying she could be out within days.

The Express focuses on Boris Johnson's plea to the party

to get behind the Prime Minister over fears Tory infighting

over her leadership will damage the party further.

The Telegraph's reports that Michael Gove has been drafted

potential leadership challenges, the paper claiming it's

the Prime Minister's way of showing she can work with her critics.

of Remainer Damien Green to First Secretary of State

is a sign her position on Brexit is softening,

with a possible rethink on remaining in the customs union.

The Guardian says the Prime Minister plans to win

back support from her party by adopting a more collegiate style

of leadership following criticism that senior colleagues had been shut

And the Daily Mail says she will go even further,

throwing out whole chunks of the manifesto in a bid to keep

The Financial Times repeats George Osborne's claim Theresa May

is a dead woman walking, signalling that business leaders

will take her weakness as an opportunity to push

for the softer Brexit the City favours.

Nods and shakes of heads? It is all very balanced around this table.

Let's begin with the Telegraph. Just because you have somebody inside the

current ten doesn't mean that you can keep them in line. No, but you

can keep your eye on them. I'm surprised that she brought in some

DeLaet Michael Gove, who has betrayed everybody in the party.

But, as an interesting set of decisions, there were certainly no

changes. -- like Michael Gove. I think she is trying very hard not to

make any new enemies. He is a good communicator, though, Michael Gove,

is he? I am a big fan of Michael Gove. I think is terrific guy. It is

interesting the Telegraph has put the headline here, but it just sort

of confirms in my view that I think Theresa May's and to be Prime

Minister for some time yet. I don't think there is any eminent challenge

to her leadership. -- imminent. They need to get the Queens Beach out the

weight, the Brexit talks under way, and see how it goes. I think the

other aspect that is interesting about this story is that the

promised brings in others in this reshuffle. -- Queen's Speech. The

Telegraph, perhaps because this is its wish list, says that coming back

in. If we look at the times, it is the opposite. Yesterday, at Gavin

Barwell, who lost the seat, Croydon Central, on Thursday, he was a

remain, he has been pointed chief of staff days we -- been appointed

chief of staff at Downing Street. Yes, this is interesting. The two

major papers disagreeing with each other. I personally believe that

Theresa May set out her stall on negotiating stance when she wrote to

Donald Tusk, when she was triggering Article 50, at the end of March. She

said out of the single market, after the customs union, and of course,

having a close trade relationship, a free-trade agreement, and eight

close agreement on security, and I personally believe that is right.

And I don't think that Greenies make a big difference. It is not just

Green. So Michael Fallon said, and I wash it, and it was an interesting

moment, he has been very loyal, that he is now shifting and now saying

that he is after a more business friendly Brexit. -- Green. Do you

know what? Economists are not always right. They are. I am. Please give

the talking stick to Ruth, just a moment. I am not always right, but I

write most of the time. I am more right than most economists are. But

I think when I said, you that Theresa May wanted a close trade

relationship with Europe, I think that is what Michael Fallon is talk

about. And I would like to see a continuation of tariff free trade.

If we are at the customs union, Art of the single market, I think there

will be some control of immigration from the EU. Full-back for a moment,

because much earlier in the evening, we were asked why it you are so

convinced, as an economist, that being outside the EU in the hardest

Brexit will not be a problem for Britain? -- out of the single

market. I would like a free-trade agreement. There are some people who

are harder than I am. They don't want any free-trade agreement at

all. I don't think that would be optimal. But having a trade

agreement, I don't see really why our trade should suffer from that.

And if you think about it, they're actually quite a lot of countries

that trade with the EU that are not even in a trade agreement with the

EU. And you know how long it takes them to negotiate? Stop, stop, stop.

They are not even in a trade agreement. And the fact is that

trade is actually flourishing. Look at new Chinese trade. Look at EU

trade with the US. But even that the point that if we're talking about

happy to have a trade agreement, it could take years to negotiate? I

think with the EU, it could be done within two or three years. I love

you dearly, I really do. You are some of the love talking to. You are

taking this country down a line which, when things fall apart, are

you going to take responsibility? I will have to admit that I would have

been wrong. That will be too late! People will be lose their jobs! It

is going to happen. Brexit will happen. And I hope that I pray and I

do believe that there will be a very good trade agreement between

ourselves and EU and the UK. Because it is in the EU's interest to do so?

Absolutely. They have the greatest trade surplus with us. Key pledges

being axed as the price of Cabinet support? It will be interesting,

Yasmin, to see what she can go through with, given that she doesn't

have a majority? I think the policy that really got the Pensioners will

go. I your pension? Yes. OK, that is to us. -- are you a pensioner. She

will please the Daily Mail. But now she is going to care that... I think

we would now get a much shorter Queens Beach, one that will focus

more on Brexit. I don't think she will dare. They are all furious. But

in the as much time all leadership. At a national do this. In a way, I

feel for her. Have anything about Brexit, and happy to think about a

fast put together manifested. I don't know how they will tell. I

think it was a pity that it was released. I know I was here we go,

and will tell me the attack on pensioners, and I was being slightly

facetious, but more to the point, it looked like an absolute attack on

the core vote. Can Sergio Mattarella I so agree that a policy. That was a

thing. But that was great, because we're getting far too much money as

pensioners. -- can I tell you something? I so agree with that

policy. It was toxic. And as for foxhunting, why on earth do they

mention that? They can come into my garden, because I have a fox with

Main Beach -- with mange. Let's not get to gain on local issues. Here we

have a call for unity with the Foreign Secretary. How old is he

now, at 45, 50? Is that all? Ye has more than that. He should be around

for sometime yet how long, I am not sure. But they are distributing

myself now. I they just want to let the dust settle. In my repeating

myself? Just like me, repeating yourself. I can't help it. His 53

this month. Can you imagine Boris Johnson being our Prime Minister? --

he is 53. Did or they talk about his period as Foreign Minister. --

do you know what they talk about? His period as Foreign Minister. I

don't think this is imminent, whatever happens. I don't think

anyone in the Conservative Party would've wanted him as primers,

surely. Nobody but Boris... Let's look at the ie, at the bottom. --

the i. We have had the idea of the hard Brexit, the soft Brexit, a red

white and blue Brexit, and now the open Brexit. What that mean? I was

Kertes a god only knows. I think Ruth Davidson is terrific. She had a

fantastic, fantastic election. She and Jeremy Corbyn were the winners

out of this. And she stood out well in the referendum debate. Yes, she

did, and she was a manner. I think when she is talk about the hard

Brexit, here, there are perhaps two things. Firstly, she doesn't want us

to walk away from the EU. Either one that neither does Theresa May. The

second point is she is just sort of saying I am here, and I want to be

involved, and I think she should be involved, because she is a success,

and is one of the Tory's raiders access at the moment. -- Tories'. --

greatest assets. The DUP, which, as we know, is going to in to some sort

of relationship with Theresa May... They talk about it on Tuesday. But I

agree with you, they're no deal is no deal, because they want at the

very manner in some agreement over the border. So just walking away

from the EU is not acceptable to the DUP. They are very sensible party.

I am going to go on the demonstrations, being 21. The

demonstrations against their recognition -- position on abortion.

That won't come into play with this confidence and supply arrangement.

But when you make them your fundamental allies, there are people

who are upset, including Ruth Davidson. You can have a protest

but, so what? In present-day Britain, our youth vote... I have

never protested in my life. You must come to a demonstration with me. I

would like to be there when you make your placards. I have been on 45

protest in my life and stop good God. Jeremy Corbyn saying he could

be Prime Minister in months. Either the Conservatives need to fall apart

or he can try this hand as a minority government. How likely is

it? Anything is possible and likely now. That is the great thing. Just

like in France we thought nothing was possible and what I love now is

that the possibility of possibility has been opened up. So, who is? If

Theresa May fails... Is she fails they will be an election within the

Conservative Party and then the question is whether the government

will come down? Probably not. He did quite well in the campaign, nobody

disputes that. But is still well short of the 326 he needs. If you

take that current configuration with a shocking results for the SNP, he

would have a long way to catch up, if he really wanted the prime

ministership. There is a narrative doing the rounds that you would be

mad to want to take on the Brexit negotiations given that the members

who want to stay are not going to make it easy. Let them have a go at

it... It is interesting because he has not come out... And I was angry

with Jeremy Corbyn because it did not, properly on a position on

Brexit, remain or otherwise. Nor did Theresa May. They both played quite

quietly. I think he would have a problem with negotiations because he

would have to take a tough position. But he does have had good people on

his team, such as Starmer, a professional man who knows about the

law and deals. But I think we are in such a different political

landscape, this man was written off even two weeks ago and we're not

talking that any more about him. But he is a politician and politicians

like power. The Guardian. Donald Trump delaying his state visit over

protest fears. Downing Street said it still going ahead but Mr Trump

wants us to like him. He does not want people protesting so we must

not go on protest. Would you? Of course I will be. I have special

protest shoes that I where! -- that I wear. Why shouldn't he have a

state visit? Here's the elected head of one of our biggest allies. Yes.

But the majority of the people in this country do not want this to

happen. We live in a democracy where the will of the people matters and I

think it will come from quite visit that if he wants to sit in a golden

carriage! You remember the Chinese visit when Prince Charles acted up

over it? You want to know why we were entertaining these people. It's

not as if we have always welcomed everybody here. I know there is a

petition not wanting him to come. But then there was a petition that

said he should come. I signed that once. Put your fingers away, please.

But he is the head of state. Why should he not come? There are things

happening in America at the moment... In America they are not

moving on. There are many things happening. Many Americans are

against their own president. You know what? At the end of the

election Americans always come together as a people. They have not

been able to do that. He may not want to come. He may not want to

come as he sees protests. Finally a different story in France. While

things are a little tricky here Emmanuel Macron seems to have gotten

everything stitched up. The first round of the parliamentary

elections, heading towards a land lies for a party, or a movement,

that was only set up one year ago. Quite an extraordinary political

journey. It is. He has caught the mood of the country and it says

something about the established parties, be it the socialists or the

party of Sarkozy. They must have just lost all credibility. The

socialists in particular of expected to do quite badly so that is a

summing up of the views of the French people. Marine Le Pen will be

a marginal group in Parliament as well. I think it is connected in

many ways and I am not suggesting that Ukip are the same as the

National Front. The people really thought that Ukip would get a number

of seeds because millions voted for them. -- a number of seats. We

thought we were drifting rightwards and now there are all sorts of

surprises happening. I'm not an expert on Emmanuel Macron or French

politics but it is amazing what has happened and then there is another

election coming up, perhaps more crucial to us, the German election.

The turnouts at this today was very low so the idea that his movement

has re-energised politics may be hollow. It seems... I think some

people think the business is done now that the President has been

elected. Even to get so many candidates in place in quite a short

time is a feat. An indication of how he will approach Brexit, he does not

want to give any quarter to Britain. Well, do they want to sell us wine,

or don't they? I would like some wine. But, also, there is another

site. We need them as much as they need us and that has been a problem

with the Brexit argument. I know you are going to accuse me of repeating

myself, there will be a mutually beneficial agreement, I am convinced

about that. It is in the interests of everybody. These are our friends.

They don't look at it like that, the way we spoke about them during the

campaign. The debates we had were shocking. They were terrible. But

bygones are bygones. Now, they are not. Placards again? Could you bring

your? I have 45. I will choose the best one. I reuse them. They recycle

them. They are such good things to go to. You must come with me. She

does not look convinced. Ladies, lovely to see you both to thank you.
