welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
tomorrow. I'm joined by Katie balls from the Spectator and David Davis | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
the broadcaster. Have you recovered from the election? Just! Still | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
shell-shocked! We are going to start with The Telegraph which declares | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
the Prime Minister will stick to her pre-election plans for a hard | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
Brexit, despite calls for a change of approach following the election | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
result. The Times says things could go in the opposite direction as it | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
sources claim. The Chancellor is preparing to fight to persuade | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
members of the government to support a softer Brexit instead. The i | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
points to pressure from Michel Barnier to begin talks as Theresa | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
May is still to finalise a deal for support for her government from the | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
DUP. The Financial Times claims Emmanuel Macron is also putting | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
pressure on Mrs May to begin talks. The Metro focuses on the DUP and the | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
status of their negotiations with the Conservatives. The paper says | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
deals with the party could lead to further problems for Theresa May's | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
government. Diane Abbott is on the front page of The Guardian. The | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
paper has an exclusive interview with her there. Although that's The | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Daily Mail! The Daily Mail leads with claims that medical assistance | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
are treating patients as part of an NHS cost-cutting measure leaving | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
many at risk. We are going to start with The Telegraph. May says she's | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
sticking to her Brexit blueprint. She's in France, but she's talking | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
to a serious Europhile fan of the European Union, yet she's making it | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
clear she'll stick to what people are describing as a hard Brexit. | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
Yes, it's worth noting in her meeting with Macron today that it | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
was quite a friendly handshake. Unlike the one he had with Mr Trump! | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
There do seem to be warmer relations. There's been a lot of | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
speculation since the results about what it means for Brexit. Lots of | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
people in her own party want her to rethink her approach but The | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Telegraph is saying that's not going to happen. Why? You could point to | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
the fact, David, that 80% of voters voted for parties, labour and the | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
Conservatives, who are advocating leaving the single market. Yes, but | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
what's been going on since the election result and the outcome, | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
which shocked just about everybody. I think that's a fair comment. I've | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
been abroad in recent weeks and it shocked people abroad. They still | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
don't understand why the Brits, a British Prime Minister has an | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
election she doesn't need to have. Anyway, putting that aside, I was | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
going to sit it I can say there's been a lot of briefing today and | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
indeed a few speeches and interviews, from Conservatives | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
saying soften your tone, Mrs May. A hard Brexit is off the agenda. And | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
what happened tonight very clearly is that the hard Brexiteers are | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
fighting back and there's been this briefing to The Telegraph saying the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
Prime Minister is absolutely sticking to her guns and a threat | :03:49. | :04:01. | |
that Britain could leave the EU without securing a trade deal. Issue | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
trying to keep those backbenchers onside? Is that what this is all | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
about? I think she's trying to keep a lot of backbenchers and side at | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
the moment. We saw in her shuffle today of ministerial appointments, | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
we saw some remain porters, in, some Brexit supporters come in. It's hard | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
to did you switch side shoes on. Even if she wants to lead us out, | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
it's whether she actually can. May has never looked weaker as Prime | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Minister than she does now and it's the cabinet making a lot of | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
decisions. Which takes off onto the other story, David on the front page | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
of The Times. Hammond pushes Tories to ditch Brexit trade plan. The real | :04:45. | :04:56. | |
Brexiteers are going to hold sway according to The Telegraph, but The | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
Times is now saying it could be Hammond. This is exactly the point. | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
Is it only a week ago it was Philip Hammond who was for the chop as | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
Chancellor? Now he is preparing to lead a battle within the government | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
to soften Brexit by keeping Britain inside the EU customs union. This is | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
what people like Boris Johnson have fought tooth and nail against. And | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
then of course President Macron who we mentioned earlier, he added to | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
the fire tonight by saying that the EU's doors remain open for Britain | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
to reverse Brexit, if things go on like this. I have to say, the result | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
is a night of the football match, France three with ten men, England | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
two with 11 men, I hope that wasn't an omen for Mrs May! Katie, is | :05:57. | :06:07. | |
Theresa May's debating style the way that she feels she should conduct | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
these talks on Brexit, is to go in there and say if we don't get a deal | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
where going to walk away and that's it. Hard Brexit. That is what | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
underpins her whole strategy, that they are going to be too scared not | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
to give us a deal. Is that what this is about? That was part of her | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
pitch. It's quite funny that during the election campaign, which | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
everyone admits was now quite a bad campaign, she said if you don't vote | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
for me you will have Jeremy Corbyn in the negotiations so you need me. | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
If you look at how she's been depicted in the foreign media since | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
the results and you do think she's more a laughing stock right now than | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
this Iron Lady. That could change but I think you can't deny although | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
she called this election to strengthen her hand, it's weakened | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
it massively. Of course, there's a bloke called David Davis who is | :07:01. | :07:11. | |
Secretary of State for Brexit. He is presenting a rather softer line in | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
the past few days than he had to follow the May line until last | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
Thursday. But now, it will be very interesting to see what tone he | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
takes and what approach he takes. I still don't understand why she has | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
the tone she has. What is the reasoning for going in there, making | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
it clear it's going to be a hard Brexit if I don't get what I want? | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
The idea is you have to be able to walk away from the table in order to | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
get a good deal. I think that wine is wearing weaker and weaker, | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
particularly now. We saw Michael Gove today, everyone seems to be | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
softening their language a little and talking about this need for more | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
conversation with everyone and all the different parties. It's all | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
talk, but there seems to be a conscious effort to make it seem | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
less hard. I don't know if Theresa May herself has got the memo. There | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
are a lot of Conservative hardliners on this matter and she now has to | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
keep them somehow onside, though history teaches us that the | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
Conservative Party's way of self-preservation is a considerable | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
way. Given the majority she's got now, next to none, even with the DUP | :08:34. | :08:42. | |
she's got to keep them on side as well. It feels a bit unlike the | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
Major years when he was held ransom by the blokes beginning with B, as | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
it were! We shouldn't underestimate the role of Ruth Davidson in this. | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
Without the games in Scotland with the Scottish Conservatives, May | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
wouldn't have been able to form a minority government. Ruth Davidson | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
is in favour of a soft Brexit. She wants to focus on the economy so she | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
isn't in the big Brexit camp. The front page of the Financial Times, | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
Cameron turns heat on May with call to consult Labour for a softer | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
Brexit. We'll go on to The Guardian. Interview with Diane Abbott on | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
diabetes and life as chief target of a vicious Tory campaign. We saw the | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
day before the election, Diane Abbott was moved temporarily from | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
the Home Office brief, after a bad interview on Sky. They said it was | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
health reasons. Now she says she suffers from type two diabetes. In | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
the stress of the campaign have blood sugar levels were all over the | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
place which affected her performance. The irony of that is | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
that the Prime Minister has, for many years, suffered from a | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
different type of diabetes as well. This whole question of the media, | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
particularly the press's approach to Diane Abbott, and other Labour | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
figures, was that counter-productive? In previous | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
campaigns certain newspapers claimed they won the campaign for the | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
Conservatives. I seem to remember somebody what one it was the | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
headline. Who was it what lost it this time, one wonders? Perhaps that | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
isn't a question to be asking tonight. Yes, on a programme called | :10:37. | :10:47. | |
The Papers! LAUGHTER Are you saying the papers have no influence? I'm | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
saying it's a very interesting question academically. I'll see you | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
at Birmingham University to discuss it! Talking about people wanting to | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
get into the press and the papers, Nick Clegg is now a columnist with | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
the i. Yes, the i is still print. It's The Independent that is online. | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
There he is, Nick Clegg, new columnist. Great news because he | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
lost his job last week. No need to go to the Job Centre! It's quite | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
traditional for politicians to have columns. Less common is what George | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
Osborne did, obviously, when you take on the editorship. I imagine | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
George Osborne might be kicking himself. Isn't it the same owner? No | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
it's not actually. You want complaining about politicians doing | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
new jobs? Television people have endlessly gone into. Politics have | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
they? I can go back as far as Geoffrey Johnson Smith, who was an | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
early TV presenter, who was a Conservative MP for years. I'm going | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
to have to wrap this up otherwise be looking for a new job as well! | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
LAUGHTER Thank you. That's it for The Papers tonight. Thank you to you | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
watching, goodbye. Hello. A bit of summer warmth on the | :12:14. | :12:27. | |
way for many of you tomorrow. The skies across the UK looking a bit | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
more like this at times. Certainly in areas where skies have been | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
particularly | :12:34. | :12:34. |
