with me are broadcaster john stapleton and kate proctor, the political correspondent of the london evening standard. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the observer leads with a warning from a major conservative party donor that michael gove should be installed as the new tory leader because theresa may has shown that she cannot "carry brexit through". the sunday times also leads on brexit with details of a government plan for a "doomsday no—deal brexit" that claims britain would be hit with shortages of medicine, fuel and food. the sunday telegraph pictures the queen on derby day, also marking the 65th anniversary of her coronation. the paper also reports on comments from priti patel that the conservatives are abandoning their position as the party of meritocracy. the sunday mirror has details of a murder probe into a british man who was found dead last september in the desert 75 miles from his home in new mexico.

and "back from the dead" — the mail on sunday claims to have found a key witness in thejeremy thorpe affair who police assumed was no longer living. well, let's make a start. let's start with i ended up, on the mail on sunday and the story we have been running all day as our lead, an hour ago i set up the task of reading and you did so well. i will do my best. people have been watching the bbc drama andi people have been watching the bbc drama and i know you have as well aboutjeremy drama and i know you have as well about jeremy thorpe, they drama and i know you have as well aboutjeremy thorpe, they will find is easy but those who haven't may find it difficult but basically the mail on sunday have come up a cracking story because one of the central figures of the thorpe saga was a man called andrew newton, a man who was a former airline pilot who allegedly anyway was commissioned to kill norman scott who was thorpe's love. —— lover. it

was assumed from many years that newton was no longer with us. the daily mail have found him alive and well and living in surrey. that is significant because with all of this talk of the thorpe affair going on, a lot of it prompted by this excellent bbc drama, basically it is releva nt excellent bbc drama, basically it is relevant because andrew newton may now actually be investigated by the police over claims that he hired a formerfriend of his, denis mearns, to kill thorpe. he said he was actually approached and he was offered 13 one half thousand pounds to killjeremy thorpe and he said he gave the police ‘s evidence years ago and said the police at the time, one police force anyway, what do the evidence and decided not to pursue it and that would involve jeremy thorpe, but nevertheless as we all know thorpe and three others went on trial for conspiracy know thorpe and three others went on trialfor conspiracy to know thorpe and three others went on trial for conspiracy to murder norman scott, they were acquitted,

co ntroversially, norman scott, they were acquitted, controversially, a huge shock that they were all acquitted and now we are they were all acquitted and now we a re left they were all acquitted and now we are left hanging with this man dennis meehan and andrew newton, both of whom are still alive, both who may now face further police investigation over the allegation they plotted to kill norman scott. doubtful in my view that andrew newton the former airline pilot will face prosecution because he did a deal with the police at the time giving evidence againstjeremy thorpe and they said he would be immune from prosecution, but we will see. well done into rank kate, all of this happened a0 years ago. i don't think you were born at that time. —— well done! i have been following the bbc series which has been a fantastic amortisation of it but to actually now know that people involved are still alive and still probably have questions to answer is really fascinating. i think the mail on sunday did an amazing job

tracking down this kind of key protagonist in this, like, it is called a very british scandal, the drama, but it is true, one of the biggest scandals or cover—ups of the 20th century. it's but something that struck me and for people my aid toa that struck me and for people my aid to a sort of learning about this story for the first time, is this came about becausejeremy story for the first time, is this came about because jeremy thorpe story for the first time, is this came about becausejeremy thorpe was 93v, came about becausejeremy thorpe was gay, had a lover, and homosexuality was illegal at time. so he wasn't able to fully express his sexuality in public and it isn'tjust him, there would have been so many politicians at the time in exactly the same situation. i think it shows how far we have come in the decades since that people in public life can 110w since that people in public life can now fully express who they are. 0bviouslyjeremy now fully express who they are. 0bviously jeremy thorpe for now fully express who they are. 0bviouslyjeremy thorpe for him, this kind of suppressed private life we re this kind of suppressed private life were to some horrific decision making on his part but all i can say is seeing it with fresh eyes, what a

fantastic, amazing leap forward in terms of accepting people's sexuality. it is worth saying that there is a bbc documentary going up on bbc for tomorrow night with some of the details of the mail on sunday has. a former colleague of mine tom laing will on panorama many years ago is now 83 followed the stories in the late 19705 and made a film for panorama to go out to the end of thejeremy for panorama to go out to the end of the jeremy thorpe trial, assuming for panorama to go out to the end of thejeremy thorpe trial, assuming he would be found guilty and of course he was cleared and his co—defendants we re he was cleared and his co—defendants were cleared and the bbc 5aid quite rightly, the gist of it was wrong, put it away. the bbc thought they had held back and destroyed all of the copies. they didn't because tom kept his own copy. part of that film will now form a documentary on bbc for tomorrow night. to add to the drama, the last instalment, i think, the drum on bbc one. let's move on. the page of the observer has a

brexit 5tory, the page of the observer has a brexit story, for a change! kate? this story leading the observer is an interview with a london hedge fund manager, crisp he is saying that michael gove do a betterjob as as leader of the conservatives and theresa may is not carrying brexit through and in a shoe really needs to be swapped and gove was the right person for the job —— crispin odie. he isa person for the job —— crispin odie. he is a brexit supporting diana, the la st he is a brexit supporting diana, the last donation he gave was £50,000 before the general election. —— donor. he is causing trouble, it will not be happy reading for theresa may, the conservative party has to listen carefully to its donors, the way that the party is structured. he makes a good point that there is unhappiness within the conservative party each theresa

may's leadership. this feeling about people within, figures within political parties, how many members, senior members, of the conservative party do you think would back michael gove given all we know about him and boris johnson? some years ago? him and boris johnson? some years ? i him and boris johnson? some years ago? i think the political knifing of borisjohnson a ago? i think the political knifing of boris johnson a few years ago when they were both going to the leadership of the party still remains in people 's minds. boris johnson was the front—runner and michael gove came in on the day, he was going to announce that he wanted to go to the party leadership and said actually, i want to run myself the whole time. it caused a lot of up5et. the thing ifind odd, i've never heard of crispin odie, that's probably my ignorance because he is a hedge fund manager and has given the tory party £50,000 but white his views on this were the front page on the observer? i've never heard of him, you've never heard of him and you are political reporter, have you? no, he means nothing. why is it

so you? no, he means nothing. why is it so significant that he is saying this? i may be entirely wrong. interesting reading for michael gove, though. just because form we move on, i want to draw your attention to the other front—page 5tory, doreen lawrence attaches —— attack5 5tory, doreen lawrence attaches —— attacks the groenefeld quarry. the mother of steven, —— grenfell. she fought a long hard battle to get justice for her son because the metropolitan police, elements of it at the time, were deemed by the official enquiry institutionally racist. she campaigned against a great brick wall to get to the truth of the matter and find out all of tho5e of the matter and find out all of those responsible in court. she says there was a parallel between what happened to her and the obstruction 5he happened to her and the obstruction she got and what is happening at g re nfell she got and what is happening at grenfell and the key quote is the like to think we have moved on since

stephen wa5 like to think we have moved on since stephen was killed but race is no longer an issue but of course it is, it is the elephant in the room in5ide it is the elephant in the room inside the one enquiry, people from that kind of background 5till inside the one enquiry, people from that kind of background still feel that kind of background still feel that they have no right to safety and no right to be heard and that, to her at lea5t,... and no right to be heard and that, to her at least,... i found that very moving. she makes a point that lots of people have felt for a long time but i think has come particular to the four with the commemorations for people who died in grenfell which has formed the first part of the enquiries it been a fortnight or so the enquiries it been a fortnight or so ofjust hearing the very personal stories of people's last moment in the tower. i think we're getting this very strong sort of story emerging that there is a set of people here who are living in poverty and living sort of below the radar and poverty and living sort of below the radarand their poverty and living sort of below the radar and their concerns were not listened to over and over again. this is a group of people who were

not represented fully. and you have come across as the most dignified and eloquent people you could possibly imagine, in my opinion, anyway. much more of this to come. another couple of stories, the sunday times, another brexit story and a very alarming one, kate? shock horror! to the times says if there is no guilt brexit, it is doomsday. doomsday on day one. as soon as we leave the eu, if we don't have a deal with europe, basically the sky is going to fall in. we will run out of medicine, food, fuel, basically britain is going to go into meltdown. it's a really, really strong, scare story ofjust how bad... being drummed up by civil 5ervant5. bad... being drummed up by civil servants. it is a leaked report from the interministerial group on preparedness. so they have, the civil servants and ministers, have been working on what is going to

happen as soon as we leave the eu and some of their findings are really severe but i would just say i've spoken to someone who is also in this group in the last two weeks and they actually were very optimistic about how brexit might go on day one. if we leave. so, through to believe? they are two very different stories being told. -- who true. they were really impressed as to how civil servants came together to how civil servants came together to make a plan, the person i spoke to. position one would expect them to. position one would expect them to adopt, i suppose. but speak in the front page of the sunday telegraph. a story from a former cabinet minister. priti patel, former international development minister, having a real go at the conservatives and in particular theresa may. she said they are no longer the party of meritocracy which, of course, no longer the

party led by people of any decency. did you look that up in a dictionary? i did! to make sure i knew what it meant. meritocracy i5 the winding of power, holding of power by people of merit. the tory party is being run by people who do not have any merit, 5he party is being run by people who do not have any merit, she is saying, and also that she was asked whether theresa may and philip hammond were remain voters or appeared to be remain voters or appeared to be remain voters or appeared to be remain voters anyway during the referendum, wa5 remain voters anyway during the referendum, was a problem and she 5ay5 referendum, was a problem and she says she initially thought so that nash ‘5 in cities. their lack of idea5, bradbury, cup, they shouldn't be attacking the labour party. priti patel lost herjob, let's add, for the cabinet as international development secretary because of a numberof development secretary because of a number of meeting she held with israeli officials said it could be a big case of sour grapes here, she's unhappy with conservative party, unhappy with conservative party, unhappy the way it is going. while this india her to her colleagues?”
