:00:15. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:19. > :00:21.With me are Nigel Nelson, who's the political editor

:00:22. > :00:23.at the Sunday Mirror and Sunday People, and the political

:00:24. > :00:35.The Observer says that the Prime Minister Theresa May is facing

:00:36. > :00:39.a revolt from Remain supporting MP's over the upcoming Brexit Bill.

:00:40. > :00:41.The same story leads the Sunday Telegraph,

:00:42. > :00:46.with Tory rebels being told to back Brexit or get Corbyn.

:00:47. > :00:52.The Sunday Times also leads with a Brexit story,

:00:53. > :00:54.it says Theresa May has secretly agreed a ?50 billion

:00:55. > :00:58.The Mail on Sunday says that Theresa May ignored a memo

:00:59. > :01:00.from Sir Lynton Crosby telling her not to risk

:01:01. > :01:04.And The Express leads with presents left to pen-pals

:01:05. > :01:15.by Moors Murderer Ian Brady, who died in May.

:01:16. > :01:22.So, let's begin, and I think we can see from that what is dominating and

:01:23. > :01:27.it is Brexit and politics. Jo, we are going to start with the Daily

:01:28. > :01:30.Mail, the bombshell, apparently, dropped by Lynton Crosby who said

:01:31. > :01:36.you should not be thinking about a general election. Nevertheless, she

:01:37. > :01:41.did? She did, and completely ignored him. The Mail on Sunday have got

:01:42. > :01:45.this memo from Lynton Crosby, who was called while he was away on a

:01:46. > :01:52.long planned family holiday in Fiji. He said, you need to call one of the

:01:53. > :01:56.chiefs of staff, and was told they were thinking about going for an

:01:57. > :01:59.election. He said, I'd think that is a smart idea. He asked what research

:02:00. > :02:05.had been done, heard that none had been done. Obviously said, you know,

:02:06. > :02:10.this is a bonkers idea, are you sure you are going to go ahead with this?

:02:11. > :02:14.Furthermore, there's a real risk that the Conservative vote would end

:02:15. > :02:20.up broadly similar to what the party got in 2015, voters do not want the

:02:21. > :02:27.uncertainty. This also comes on the same day that the Prime Minister, in

:02:28. > :02:30.the poll for the same paper, shows that Conservative voters think that

:02:31. > :02:35.they have more chance of winning if she quits. Boris Johnson is the

:02:36. > :02:39.favourite to replace her. But I think this memo that has been linked

:02:40. > :02:46.just shows the total shambles that was going on. And then we saw it

:02:47. > :02:50.played out, embarrassingly, toe curling Lee, through every day of

:02:51. > :02:55.the election campaign. It's amazing that everybody thought the way they

:02:56. > :03:01.did. Calling the election was always high risk. Everything that had

:03:02. > :03:06.happened in America, the voters were behaving particularly keenly, and

:03:07. > :03:10.nothing was guaranteed. The article says it was Lynton Crosby's strategy

:03:11. > :03:14.to make Theresa May the centre of the campaign. The strong and stable

:03:15. > :03:18.leader? Exactly, it wasn't about the Tory party, it was about Theresa

:03:19. > :03:22.May. Anybody that spent five minutes in her company knows that she

:03:23. > :03:25.couldn't sustain that. Lynton Crosby should have known. What he was

:03:26. > :03:30.thinking to try to do it that way was bound to actually fail. Pages

:03:31. > :03:36.and pages of this in the Daily Mail, but we must go on to the Sunday

:03:37. > :03:40.Times. Staying with Theresa May, this is the suggestion that Theresa

:03:41. > :03:46.May has secretly agreed the terms of a divorce bill, they have numbers

:03:47. > :03:48.and everything? We should say our esteemed colleague Chris Mason has

:03:49. > :03:53.it on high authority from Downing Street that this story is absolute

:03:54. > :04:02.rubbish. They say it is to be not true. Maybe we should move on? Tim

:04:03. > :04:08.Shipman, also an esteemed colleague, says a Tory source who has discussed

:04:09. > :04:11.the plans with Theresa May's inner circle, saying they are planning to

:04:12. > :04:15.approve a politically explosive Brexit bill of up to ?50 billion

:04:16. > :04:18.after the Conservative Party conference in an effort to

:04:19. > :04:24.kick-start the talks and negotiations with the European

:04:25. > :04:28.Union. It means Britain would pay between ?7 billion and ?17 billion a

:04:29. > :04:32.year for three years after Brexit before ending the sizeable direct

:04:33. > :04:36.payments. I don't know if you believe that? The trouble is, it's

:04:37. > :04:40.about time somebody put a figure on what we are going to have to pay. I

:04:41. > :04:45.think the onus is on Michel Barnier and the EU, they are the ones

:04:46. > :04:47.selling this thing. We are the buyers, if you like, and they should

:04:48. > :04:53.come up with it. We fight estimates of any thing from 40 billion to 100

:04:54. > :04:58.billion. Let's start with the actual figure so that we know what it is.

:04:59. > :05:01.Then we can also find out what we are buying, we can talk about, OK,

:05:02. > :05:10.we might pay that amount of money for staying near or in the single

:05:11. > :05:13.market. Whether the story is true or not, Downing Street have denied it,

:05:14. > :05:20.we will be somewhere around this figure. She will have two actually

:05:21. > :05:24.come up with money within this kind of range. We just don't know what it

:05:25. > :05:31.is. That is why Europe must say what they want from us. Staying on

:05:32. > :05:35.Brexit, in The Observer, this is the suggestion that if Tory backbenchers

:05:36. > :05:39.start to create a fuss about Brexit and the terms thereof, they might be

:05:40. > :05:47.in a spot of bother with the whips? Yes, what comes up is the Repeal

:05:48. > :05:51.Bill, which has come down from The Great Repeal Bill, what it was

:05:52. > :05:55.originally called. On the day of Brexit, all EU law becomes UK law.

:05:56. > :05:59.Completely sensible. A lot of people don't like it. A lot of clauses

:06:00. > :06:04.suggest that powers would be taken away from Parliament and handed over

:06:05. > :06:10.to Whitehall. Anyway, a lot of Tory rebels, there has been a major

:06:11. > :06:16.assault from Labour, trying to get the Tory rebels to come over to

:06:17. > :06:20.them. The euro supporters in the Tory party. The warning is that if

:06:21. > :06:24.you do that, we could be into general election territory. The

:06:25. > :06:30.government could fall if she can't get through her bill. According to

:06:31. > :06:34.the Observer, the whips are leaning on MPs and saying, don't do this. Of

:06:35. > :06:40.course, the MPs are saying, the more they lean on us, the more they are

:06:41. > :06:43.inclined to have a go. I will move us on, but let's jump to the Sunday

:06:44. > :06:51.Times, just to finish. Time is tight. It is a totally different

:06:52. > :06:55.story, but an interesting one. Five-year-olds wearing the hijab as

:06:56. > :07:01.a school uniform. New figures coming out? It is they survey the Sunday

:07:02. > :07:05.Times has done. It has shown there are lots of state primary schools

:07:06. > :07:08.that allow girls as young as five to where the Muslim headscarf, this is

:07:09. > :07:14.just the headscarf, not covering the face or anything. The idea of

:07:15. > :07:18.wearing the hijab, normally it comes in at puberty, not at the age of

:07:19. > :07:26.five. There are completely understandable concerns, which I

:07:27. > :07:29.must say I share. It is alarming female Muslim campaigners, church

:07:30. > :07:32.leaders and academics, they say it is sexualising little girls.

:07:33. > :07:40.Basically saying to them, you must be covered up because you are a

:07:41. > :07:46.sexual thing, a sexual temptation. There are concerns, Ofsted are

:07:47. > :07:49.looking to see if headteachers have been coming under pressure from

:07:50. > :07:53.external organisations, from parents or religious leaders, to bring this

:07:54. > :08:00.in. There is quite a difference across the country. A fifth of 800

:08:01. > :08:04.primary schools, including Church of England primary, in 11 regions, now

:08:05. > :08:08.lest the hijab as part of their uniform policy, which is odd for

:08:09. > :08:11.five or six-year-olds. I think we disagree somewhat on this one. I

:08:12. > :08:15.would be happy about this, provided the parents of the children are

:08:16. > :08:19.happy, and the schools are happy. The principle of the hijab being

:08:20. > :08:24.school uniform, I don't have a problem with it. Well, we end on a

:08:25. > :08:28.glorious disagreement. We have had to be short and sweet, because time

:08:29. > :08:34.is tight. We will be back in the next hour. Thanks to Jo and Nigel

:08:35. > :08:39.for now. We will be back at 11.30 when we will have more time for more

:08:40. > :08:40.discussion and disagreement! That have a look at the weather

:08:41. > :08:47.prospects. Hello, a lovely start

:08:48. > :08:50.to the weekend, with the exception of a few sharp showers in East

:08:51. > :08:52.Anglia. Most places were dry with some

:08:53. > :08:55.sunshine, with skies like this.
