11:31 pm
with me are the sun's chief sports reporter martin lipton and the playwright & columnist at the new european newspaper bonnie greer. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the sunday times leads on claims that two of theresa may's most senior allies are preparing for a second eu referendum behind her back. brexit also leads the observer which says delivering the uk's withdrawal from the eu is forcing the government to neglect vital domestic reforms. foreign secretaryjeremy hunt believes the uk will prosper even if it walks away from the eu without a deal and wants to be the next prime minister, according to the sunday telegraph. the online independent splashes on news of a row in the labour party over when to call a vote of no confidence in theresa may's government. the mail on sunday says that some of the bbc‘s highest—paid executives have been awarded huge annual pay rises of up to 30%. the sunday express carries warnings
11:32 pm
from a think tank which claims fathers are being left out out of parenting advice by nhs bosses. and the sunday mirror claims prince harry is set to miss the royals' traditional boxing day pheasant shoot out of respect for his wife meghan, who opposes bloodsport. boruc are clearly one subject dominating. surprise surprise, it is brexit. the times has got the suggestion that there are secret talks under way behind theresa may's act to say let's go for the second referendum idea. in the words of kenneth williams, they have all got it infor kenneth williams, they have all got it in for me! it is interesting, i am sure it is a trusted source, david liddington deputy prime minister and karen barlow, the head. despite theresa may pushing and saying there will be second referendum and would be a betrayal, they are actually having talks with
11:33 pm
remainer labour mps and others about trying to stitch together some sort of coalition across the commons that might get something through parliament. liddington said ahead of this use gang of five, including this use gang of five, including this philip hammond, who concluded a new referendum might be under way to resolve the impasse. clearly we are ina resolve the impasse. clearly we are in a situation it seems nothing that this proposed can be passed at the lack. —— past. at the moment we are ina lack. —— past. at the moment we are in a complete at a shambles of a situation which has got worse. there are situation which has got worse. there a re two levels situation which has got worse. there are two levels and they are two worlds. first of all, there are people who think that they will get something together to get through the problem because it doesn't get through the problem, it doesn't happened. 0ther through the problem, it doesn't happened. other people will think
11:34 pm
there is some fantasy eu out there that they can actually get some kind of deal together and present it to the eu and the eu has already said this is it, it is done. is another group who thinks that somehow we can leave and it will all be all right. —— there are is another. these factions, i write —— there are is another. these factions, iwrite plays, i couldn't write anything like this myself. this is the issue, there isn't any leadership standing up and giving any of us any real—world solutions. we do need some clarity and we have none, other than brexit meant brexit, or does it, and no deal... there is clarity, nobody wants to acce pt there is clarity, nobody wants to accept that. the clarity is that the eu 27 said this is done. if liddington is having these discussions without informing the prime minister, that is pretty significant. theresa may has always
11:35 pm
been totally clear there will be no second referendum. but she is wounded. this is actually the example of it. i'd got used an american expression, she has lame—duck herself twice. she sexual not run for re—election and this vote. she is done and they are rushing around. somebody has to do ta ke rushing around. somebody has to do take a leadership. what is happening at the moment cannot continue, we need to find a way of wrecking the logjam. how can these people remain in that government? there is no leader, this is politics. i agree with you, i am saying this is politics and buries the leadership —— there is no leader. she is on the way to the house of lords, they are taking their posts, this is caesar's men running around ready to kick up the crown. lead us to the sunday
11:36 pm
telegraph, segway us interview with jeremy hunt who may have his eye on the topjob. he says here in this interview that he fancies a crack at succeeding theresa may. he also talks about, another interesting choice of headline given the quote is, but basically we will find a way of muddling through no matter what. you actually want a bit more strength and belief, if we are going down this path of a no—deal brexit, which is quite possible the way we are going, increasingly possible, you need someone are going, increasingly possible, you need someone who is going to lead the country who believes in it. jeremy hunt says the uk will flourish! he doesn't quite say that. he has no data to do that. meanwhile, businesses are preparing themselves to do what they need to do in case there is not one and he is coming out with basically fantasy solutions as well. that is the tragedy of the whole thing. we are
11:37 pm
going to end up, in three and a half months time, with no deal and that is how imminent it is. have to be led by someone who genuinely leaves, rather than someone who doesn't believe. the problem we have is that everybody is going to moan, whatever happens. brexiteers who genuinely believe that this is the policy that is right for this country, are going to moan that it is not being delivered properly. the remainers, who genuinely believe, i ink, that this will be bad for the country, will moan... so the solution has to be, for the sake of the country 's reputation as well, outside, remember, outside this looks really really bad. there has to be a way that the people get to decide with a majority, to ask what the question is, but something has to happened. —— don't ask me what the question is. we had a referendum in 2016 and a majority of the country who voted
11:38 pm
to leave. there is nothing in stone that says you cannot vote again. you have a cooling off period for a fridge, why cannot people be asked it again? that is the only thing i think, legitimately, that is going to make sense to anybody outside this country when people go back and ask again. it was interesting because jeremy hunt was ask again. it was interesting becausejeremy hunt was a remainer, now he's talking about a viable no deal. which doesn't make any sense. iam not deal. which doesn't make any sense. i am not sure there is a majority in parliament. there is a poor in parliament, 120 mps tops who would favour an ideal option. and yet, we are hearing that senior ministers, according to the sun and the telegraph, are preparing to insist that theresa may now tells the civil service to move into full, no deal planning. that is one fifth of the cabinet, one fifth of parliament. it
11:39 pm
isa cabinet, one fifth of parliament. it is a romp. it doesn't mean that they are wrong, it is just they have not got the majority. they want something, meanwhile, nothing else is going on. the whole machinery of government has gone down. this is the observer and the headline is that brexit deadlock is blocking off vital domestic policy reforms. this story is about the fact that brexit is sucking the life out of everything. the civil service almost had to be rebuilt for this to happen. this was obviously going to ta ke happen. this was obviously going to take place. the labour party is sort of saying, hey everybody, there are other things that we need to do but actually there are not other things that we need to do. this is a big one, as big as the civil wars. it would be great if we had a leader in the commons who stood up and said how big this is a not see it as some
11:40 pm
kind of turner —— tiny domestic thing. this is huge and deal with it. this story basically comes from the chair people of the all—party select committees, who say we are raring to go on other issues and brexit is stopping everything. nobody can make a decision because everything, all the government arguments have been sucked down to one thing, which is the next three months, march 29 and handling that process and where we are with article the. the other problem is that we are learning that the european union has actually so intertwined in this country, statutory instruments and all sorts of things, that you cannot actually move until we know what we are going to be doing and that is the mass. —— article 50. “ mess. iam sure i am sure we will be doing this again. the mail on sunday, a bbc story, bumper pay rises for bbc‘s top brass, some of their highest—paid executives who have had
11:41 pm
up highest—paid executives who have had up to 30% highest—paid executives who have had 30% pay highest—paid executives who have had up to 30% pay rises not going down well. first of all, i am going to settling deeply unpopular but i will say it. this, the bbc is a monster organisation, huge stations, everything, the question that has to be asked of the people of this country is if they want it. this is a public service, we are paying for it, but at the same time these people who are running this thing, they have to run it in competition with everybody else in the world. it isn't something that just exist with everybody else in the world. it isn't something thatjust exist in this country. the money that these people are getting is more money than people will ever see in their life, but in the world that they are m, life, but in the world that they are in, this is not a lot of money. martin is shaking his head here. let me just say, i am not saying that they should get it but i am saying they should get it but i am saying the people of this country has to decide whether they want the service. they choose to work for the bbc... hang on. the populists of
11:42 pm
this country pay the license fee, how can it be feasibly acceptable for this guy, i am sure he is a nice like. salary went up a 30% which is extravagant when most people are lucky to get 2%. he has claimed £30,000 per year in expenses. lucky to get 2%. he has claimed £30,000 per year in expenseslj lucky to get 2%. he has claimed £30,000 per year in expenses. i am not saying that the man should get it, i not saying that the man should get it, lam not saying that the man should get it, i am saying that obviously that is what he is worth in the market. he will walk if he does not get it and the director—general has made a decision, he will not walk. the sunday mirror, harry su snub boxing dayissue sunday mirror, harry su snub boxing day issue to. all of my feelings about meghan markle have gone out the window, i don't like any more. —— i don't like her any more. the window, i don't like any more. -- i don't like her any more. what is the story? the story is prince harry and meghan markle will not attend the pheasant shoot at sandringham on boxing day because she doesn't believe in bloodsports.
11:43 pm
you know what, i think a lot of the sunday mirror readers will not agree with what sports and i think it is very reasonable indeed for prince harry to understand and go along with his wife's deeply held principles. i agree, i think it is wonderful, he just married and obviously yes married her because he loves and wants to go along with it. there is as eight of anti— meghan markle stuff, including some high pollutant story about her making some rift between the brothers. obviously i do not know that that is true, but this is a good story, but the stuff that is out there is not good stuff. there has been no push back about this rift. she has no family here, she is go to have a baby, they need to lay off of her and him and let them get on with their marriage. it is quite clear that meghan markle is a force of nature changing, ruffling the favoured —— ruffling the feathers of
