Tried to hire a 7. 5 ton lorry to carry out the attack, hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. It will be extended compared to usual. With me are jack blanchard, Political Editor of the mirror and caroline wheeler, Political Editor of the sunday express. Welcome. Tomorrows front pages. Starting with this the Observer Says mays premiership is in peril. The paper leads with its Editorial Comment saying mrs may is discredited, humiliated, and diminished. It says she is now weak, with rivals and opponents no longerfearing her. The daily mail focusses on the foreign secretary Boris Johnson saying he is set to launch a bid to become Prime Minister. It also carries a picture of former top gear presenter, richard hammond, who was involved in a car crash during filming in switzerland. The telegraph says theresa may may be in Downing Street but she has no power after losing her majority in parliament. The paper says Senior Tories are jostling in an unofficial race to replace her. The sunday times claims as many as five Cabinet Ministers are Urging Borisjohnson to oust theresa may. The express leads with the resignation of theresa mays two closest advisers nick timothy and fiona hill. Its headline refers to them as toxic. A great deal to discuss, mostly focusing on the conservatives. We will also mention labour at some point. The observer. Blocking the dup coalition. I wonder how or the dup coalition. I wonder how or the dup would have been on the coalition. The experience the lib dems had in 2015, the formal Coalition Running the country for five years, it was disastrous for them. They were almost completely wiped out as a party. There is no appetite to repeat that because of the impact it had among the major parties. We now have a loose arrangement. The problem with that e s is ~ ~ , but ~ if . ft if . ft 77 7 ingwordsi if . ft 77 7 in egg; words of theresa may. Is weekend wobbly. It could fall it is weekend wobbly. It could fall apart atany it is weekend wobbly. It could fall apart at any moment. Weak and wobbly. We dont know how much you will get through, not much, i imagine. I some in the party that imagine. For some in the party that clearly think the dup im not the right bedfellows. fi very support she was very concerned about their stance on gay rights. That started many others coming out. There is similar rhetoric about women. Many have come out to speak vocally about fears of getting into bed with the party whose track re cord bed with the party whose track record on those issues is quite concerning to them. They are Antiabortion The 7 w concerning to them. They are antiabor with the have 7 77 concerning to them. They are antiabor with gay the have ~ 77 l concerning to them. They are antiabor with gay marriage lave 77 l concerning to them. They are antiabor with gay marriage and 77 l that. There is genuine concern like that. There is genuine concern about this. That is aside from the overarching issue about the Peace Process. Think about where we are at the moment. It is a very fragile Peace Process. The Current Power sharing arrangements and this month. The government previously has beena month. The government previously has been a neutral arbiter of the process. If we get into one, it is shattered. Yes. They are supposed to be neutral and sit above it all. Shattered. Yes. They are supposed to be neutral and sit above it altm is easy to sit in london and forget how fragile it is. But people involved in a process for 20 years are coming out this weekend saying it is dangerous and stupid. Jonathan powell, tony blairs chief of staff, he was central to making the peace happen. This is a bad idea. You dont know where this goes further down the track. The last thing we wa nt down the track. The last thing we want is this Peace Process to fall apart. Peter said the same thing in out apart. Peter said the same thing in our newspaper. He talked about Civil Servants intrinsically involved in the Process Raising Fear and alarm about the damage this could do to the process moving forward. There are genuine concerns now it could be absolutely, in his words, calamitous. The dup say they dont wa nt calamitous. The dup say they dont want a hard brexit, because they dont want a border between Northern Ireland and the republic. That might prove to be some leverage they can apply with regards to brexit which would please a lot of people. They could do that in all sorts of things, some might please people and others not. Now people in Northern Ireland are wagging the dog of the entire country. It is what the conservatives have said labour will do with scotland. And then half an hour on do with scotland. And then half an hourona do with scotland. And then half an hour on a friday morning, let us do that. Reckless. They are not thinking about the implications for the Peace Process and what it will look like. Professorjohn curtice, who never seems to be wrong about this, he called it right away. He said that is where she could go to for support. Ukip. Said that is where she could go to for support. Ukip. I said that is where she could go to forsupport. Ukip. I mean, in politics, dont you sometimes have to make allegiances were you never expected to . Theyre restricting that. But the conservatives have been running a seven Week Campaign about that. Four hours later, they are doing exactly what they said they would not do. It is hypocrisy. They would argue it is an arrangement which has been informal for some time. You often find the dup go behind the conservatives on lots of things. The difference if it isa very lots of things. The difference if it is a very cynical. To lots of things. The difference if it is a very cynical to up is a very cynical bid to shore up her own power base and majority. That is what people are taking exception to as opposed to. |j that is what people are taking exception to as opposed to. Ijust wa nt to exception to as opposed to. Ijust want to say, the dup saw off the ulster unionist party. Exactly. There is only ten of them. It is enough to get her over the line just if every one of her mps it supports us. If every one of her mps it supports us. There might be ten dup mps. There are 19 openly gay tory mps. They are furious to see their Leader Jumping into bed with this very anti gay rights party. If they decide to vote against theresa may, the majority has gone straightaway. These concerns have been raised with her already, especially the lb gt rights issue. I know she has had assurances, ruth davidson, that thoseissues assurances, ruth davidson, that those issues will not be on the table. But if you are in a situation where you are desperate to shore up votes on a particular issue, for example, a vote on a brexit deal on the grand repeal bill, for example, how far would she go to guarantee she gets that through the house if it became a Confidence Issue . It became about her leadership again . She would do pretty much anything, i would imagine, to get that through. They use the expression jump on the bed so many times. We need a different phrase for it. Jump into. Via the observer. She has no mandate. It is up to negotiation. Into. Via the observer. She has no mandate. It is up to negotiationlj had mandate. It is up to negotiation. had an interview on friday with david davis. He said this is all about brexit and she wanted to strengthen her hand with this election. How many votes does she need to claim she has the mandate for what happens next . He said to me a majority of one was enough. Of course, she does not have a majority of one. There are serious question marks about whether she has a mandate. Having said that, lots of people are saying this is academic, that she went to the people are saying this is academic, Tha Gegeral 1t to the i doing it. The general excuse for doing it. There g other things a play. The there are other things a play. The threat from scotland. The Expenses Scandal that was nipping her toes. It will be tough for her to get through the kind of brexit she has wanted to pursue and said she would. I know whitehall insiders, lots of them have said they are literally ripping up the plans they had made. They are saying those plans are pretty much dead in the water. We have not heard much about it, happily . They now realise they have to make concessions. The most important bits, getting out of the custom union, it is hard. This is the first time in this election we have had a chance to vote on what type of brexit. Were they really voting on that . Many people said it is the nhs and education and social care. That is why they liked jeremy corbyn. There were people in the Referendum Voting on the nhs as well. How can you do sting which these things . A party puts forward a manifesto. Distinguish yarmouk distinguish. It is the first time they have had a chance to vote on a type of brexit. Theresa may said this is why we are going to the polls, specifically for support for brexit and her planned. She did not get it. It is hard to argue now that we will leave the eu in this way. She needs more of a consensus than the way she has tried to do it. What has happened during the course of the day. The sunday telegraph. In office and not in power. Fragile leadership. Her two chiefs have to resign. Another bit of pressure added. The feeling is that Senior Services thought nick timothy and fiona hill had too much say. Yes. It was a settling of scores as well. It is hard to overstate how powerful these two people were. They were running the country with theresa may almost exclusively. That upset other member is of the cabinet and tory party and people in whitehall who felt they should have had more say and could not get near the Prime Minister because these two people we re minister because these two people were basically running the country. Members. They could not wait to wield the axe so to speak when the opportunity arose. It was notjust the election result. We were talking about how fragile the power base was right from the moment the tory manifesto was published three weeks before polling day. People lapped onto the front pages of newspapers about it. Lept. Mps were taking this policy onto the doorstep. They we re this policy onto the doorstep. They were finding it was absolutely monstered and savaged. Many said it was going down like a bucket of cold sick among conservatives voters. Like the triple lock for example. They have been seen as culpable for that. The sunday express, your paper, mays toxic aides resign. And incomes gavin barwell, who lost his seat, finding himself with a good job as chief of staff. In comes. Twice the money. They are not paying to of them. They are saving money. Austerity is working. Yes. He is reasonably popular among tory mps. They have been getting along well over the past two years. It is seen asa over the past two years. It is seen as a conciliatory measure. You have to understand these two aides were the life of the reason made. Along with her husband. Now she is looking isolated. Theresa may. They were her sounding board. Now that is taken away her sounding board. Now that is ta ken away and her sounding board. Now that is taken away and she is left standing alone. But barwell is like. He will have to be a critical friend. He dubbed theresa the freezer. He said she left everyone out except for those two. Mps are saying it is time to thaw and to stop that freezing out of people, bringing them back into the tent. That is possibly what this appointment signals. The other people we have heard from today have said that. It is a brave decision she has made. She kept her powder dry since leaving Downing Street, the former director of communications, who broke cover to talk about her own experience of working in Downing Street and how she felt, that they were very dysfunctional, that they were not very inclusive, that they ruled everything with an iron fist, that there was not much negotiation discussion, and everything was rubberstamped and went through them and that made life pretty umpires and that made life pretty umpires and for herand and that made life pretty umpires and for her and others. Pretty unpleasant. Ultimately they are aids, not the Prime Minister or deputy Prime Minister . Thats how they were acting. Looking at the public, they will say while on you carrying the can, you didnt win the vote on your leadership by the margin needed, you need to be walking
