11:34 pm
may's brexit speech features heavily. the guardian leads with one of the prime minister's key quotes: "i have treated the eu with nothing but respect. the uk expects the same." defiant may raises the stakes with a no—deal threat to the eu, claims the times. it was ‘may‘s finest hour‘ says the daily express. the daily mail calls it ‘the may ultimatum'. but according to the daily telegraph, the pm could face a show—down next week, when her cabinet ministers demand a plan b to her brexit plan. in other news, the ft weekend says uber has sharpened its appetite for european takeaways, as it plans a link—up with deliveroo. and the daily mirror leads with the story of ellie chessell, an acid attack victim, who says she was talked out of suicide by the strictly star katie piper. that was a quick look at the front
11:35 pm
pages. let us discuss these a little further. we are going to start up with the guardian, which gives a nice summary of what has happened today. jo—anne, do you want to start off for us? i think what is quite remarkable in a way about all of the newspapers is, despite mrs may having come back from south spoke with frankly less than zero, having had a very disappointing session there, the tone of the front pages of the newspapers, is not inside the papers, is actually pretty positive on the whole, they seem to have reacted well to the combative approach he has taken with today's unplanned announcement outside number10. —— selt unplanned announcement outside number 10. —— selt spoke. unplanned announcement outside number10. —— selt spoke. it unplanned announcement outside number 10. —— selt spoke. it is a curious turn around, if only for this 24 curious turn around, if only for this 2a hours. curious turn around, if only for this 24 hours. jessica, obviously
11:36 pm
this 24 hours. jessica, obviously this is your story, your paper. we have managed to get in donald tusk‘s reaction to this. he came out quite quickly, a conciliatory tone to end the day on. i think i intended it to be conciliatory, but there was the little jibe in his response when he said that he used theresa may of being surprisingly tough and in fact uncompromising. —— accused. we hope that yesterday that when she gave a presentation to eu leaders there we re presentation to eu leaders there were surprised at the tone and found it quite bullish. she had written an article for a german newspaper, which i think they found to be quite bombastic in its tiring. they did not feel, the briefings, an extreme amount of warmth from theresa may. i don't think anyone ever feels an extra amount of warmth from theresa may. her personality, you know, she has been leader for two years, and
11:37 pm
her personality is what it is. i think numberio were her personality is what it is. i think number 10 were completely brain —— blindsided by the reception she got in salzburg. they expect it a different tone from some of the eu leaders. i think this is donald tusk's attempt to smooth the server. what of the things we are reporting is that we expect the european commission to come back with some counterproposals to chequers, likely to appear in early october after the tory conference. that may be a way of how can we move on chequers and how can we may be rescue a bit of the prime minister's plan. what we expect them to do, probably, is to extend it, which is maybe something —— something the tory backbenchers will accept, different parts of it like environment or social exceptions. we will see how that goes down with tory backbenchers who ready don't like the jet is planned. return to the inside pages of the times. —— chequers plan. it is a
11:38 pm
little bit more detail of what took place in salzburg. like you said, they were quite surprised by her tone. what you have to wonder about now is will blink first? well, i think mrs may expressed that very clearly today when she said that the two sides have reached an impasse. she has effectively said, look, i am not changing its plan. you have got to come towards me. —— this plan. it is not sustainable because it is not a plan that has sufficient support from her own party. one of the extraordinary things about all of this is that we are sitting here, virtually on the eve of the labour party conference, and the labour party conference, and the labour party has got very little coverage at all on the front pages and has been sort of eased out of the middle
11:39 pm
pages with all the analysis of what has happened over the last couple of days. a loss of this is not a particularly good news for mrs may. it does not augur well for her conference in nine days time. but the labour party might well be asking, hang on a second, this was supposed to be our weekend. this piece by oliver wright, what it goes into is the story of yesterday and how went so wrong. there is lovely detail for the reader, probably less lovely for theresa may, where he talks about when the eu 27, the other leaders, went into their lunch to discuss brexit, she had the same lunch, but on her own in her room as room service. it shows, really, and there were pictures yesterday, many viewers will remember them, the line of suits and ben—hur in her redcoat, there has been so much imagery representing britain's isolation —— and ben—hur. she came back with a speech today which showed she would
11:40 pm
fight back against that image. it has possibly gone some way to resolving that is in view of the domestic audience, whether there was much that happened today, the brutal details in this piece, i'm not sure that has been. one of the things that has been. one of the things that did happen was that the pound, the markets reacted to brexit events and brexit news. this is still staying with the times, same page. the pound recorded its biggest one—day fall in 15 months. following the unexpected speech. it is really following what happened yesterday and, of course, in a sense was built on by what she said today. markets don't like things that are not predicted. this definitely was not predicted. this definitely was not predicted. all be briefing in advance was that she would come back from salzburg with something that
11:41 pm
would put her well on the way towards a deal. because this was never going to be the final co nfe re nce never going to be the final conference or the final get together. it was waving her on her way to easier waters of a party co nfe re nce way to easier waters of a party conference next week. that is not what has happened. as a consequence, the markets have reacted like this. interesting that they still seem confident. we entered this particular piece with an analyst saying "i'm not entirely sure today changes much, we think the odds on ofa changes much, we think the odds on of a no—deal brexit are fairly low, we believe a deal will be struck." many people are saying what does that look like? i think today's events made it more likely. but i don't think they made it more likely than not. one of the key things that stands between the uk ever leaving the eu without a deal is tory mps,
11:42 pm
hundreds of whom would object to a no—deal brexit. many of them will not side with the remain tory rebels, but there are certainly 100 tory mps who are alarmed at the idea ofa tory mps who are alarmed at the idea of a no—deal brexit. those are the kind of people i think it would step in and at perhaps a change of leadership, if britain came to the brink of a no deal. there are a lot of conservatives and conservative mps who would be comfortable to say that it mps who would be comfortable to say thatitis mps who would be comfortable to say that it is worth making the point that it is worth making the point that the no deal option wouldn't necessarily be a catastrophe, but it is still not the preferred option. you know what, you are talking about the conservatives, it seems, well the conservatives, it seems, well the daily telegraph is going with the daily telegraph is going with the story that she will have to be entering a cabinet early next week he will be looking for leadership on this, a plan b. the front page of the daily telegraph, ministers demand plan b from theresa may. this isa demand plan b from theresa may. this is a plan b for the agenda for next week's cabinet meeting, which was not supposed to be about this, it
11:43 pm
was supposed to be about setting out the uk's post—brexit immigration plan. that is what the meeting was supposed to discuss. it is likely it will not discuss it at all. it will discuss the fallout of the eu's rejection of the chapters plan or on the face of it rejection of it. there will be, voices around that cabinet table, who have always had doubts about the cheque is planned, michael gove, liam fox, penny mautz doom, they are people who have had their doubts —— chack is planned. they will be asking are you sure this is the right plan and should we start looking at other options? she isjuggling a lot. she is having to send a message to the eu as well as managing a party. we were speaking earlier to a journalist from the irish times. theirfront earlier to a journalist from the irish times. their front page said basically be feeling from dublin, that speech was talking to the party more than it was to the eu.
11:44 pm
that speech was talking to the party more than it was to the eui that speech was talking to the party more than it was to the eu. i think it was talking to a domestic audience. she was trying to steady the ship slightly. it did convey the fa ct the ship slightly. it did convey the fact that she was genuinely put out by what had happened. she genuinely felt they had behaved in an inappropriate way. i think it has beena inappropriate way. i think it has been a successful tactic, because as faras been a successful tactic, because as far as the front pages though it has distracted attention from asking those questions as to how she ended up those questions as to how she ended up in that situation, why was it that she was led to believe and she therefore led others to believe that she was going to come back from salzburg with a completely different outcome? was that a baby of her political advisers? was it a failure of the civil service? did she completely lack all sense of objectivity about the way the eu might do hera objectivity about the way the eu might do her a favour, which is
