when you see the is extraordinary when you see the smashed glass and it right on its side and know he was driving and you side and know he wasdzivdngaaéw! can see that it is turned over on the driver's side. it really is a miracle and it says and i would insist that he was shocked and he left the car. i bet, eheken. when he left the eel: ! bet ~ ~ , ~ ~ —— , , ehekeh wheh he left the ter. ! het ~ ~ , ~ ~ —— , , would shake anyone, even if he that would shake anyone, even if he was not physically injured. he has clearly had a very lucky escape. even the two women who were in the kia as well seem to have gotten away with some minor injuries. with that is the extent of it. it really is quite shocking. well, thank goodness it seems all those involved have not been seriously injured. but you know those of us who have met the duke on a few occasions over the years can just imagine now, this is going to ignite the whole debate about those of us who are of a slightly more senior years, what ’"” there

about i afteri significant but i is but is 7 but. isgw, but. kg 97, the accident. but he is now 97, the same is the dukei accident. but he is now 97, the same is the duke and he still talks about ‘he ‘ he wishes he still had his car. how he wishes he still had his car. it is that independent people want especially in their. age and especially in their old age and i think it is a difficult ~ —— especially in their old age and i think it is a difficult asked = especially in their old age and i think it is a difficult asked to} especially in their old age and i think it is a difficult asked to ask that up. they would ask you about eyesight, says he taking off his glasses, but also what are your reactions like? glasses, but also what are your reactions like ? that glasses, but also what are your reactions like? that is as important an area is anything, i think. let's go to the sun him in the story on the front pages of course. the son says that prince philip was heard to have yelled at my legs as he was pulled it from that wreckage. you do wonder how we know about that. they are very unclear about that that i do quote will witness as saying it
10:48 pm
was frightening. can you imagine witnessing that? a dramatic looking crash is that and then only then finding out it was the duke of who was involved. i suppose we should say that we do not know exactly what happened in these details will be left for the police to look at. but we are sure to hear more on that in the days to come. let's move onto the days to come. let's move onto the front page of the guardian, your paper. jeremy corbyn faces a revolt if he seeks a referendum.” paper. jeremy corbyn faces a revolt if he seeks a referendum. i think this is a underplayed dynamic of brexit in parliament. not all the talk we hear about the labour party isa talk we hear about the labour party is a pressure onjeremy corbyn for those supporting a second vote, a campaignfor those supporting a second vote, a campaign for another referendum. but they are pushing on it corbin and jeremy corbyn has pursued this no—confidence vote and now needs to put it this way. we know that is not his instinct. and now he has got a bit of back up because there are these mps who are much quieter who
10:49 pm
are wanting him that they will either rebel or resign if they are in position in the front bench. we understand there are people in the shadow cabinet who feel that strongly about it. it is notjust because they might have sort of a brexit bent themselves, though some of them do. but they are also really worried about him playing with a lot of constituencies, especially if they want to win in the next election in 12 voted leave. will they go public? i think the moment they go public? i think the moment they want to use their influence in they want to use their influence in the party. people who have made their unease clear before but i think that they have had some success in speaking quietly to the brexit shadow secretary. earlier in the year, there was a vote of an to keep the pressure
10:50 pm
thethingthatrfra" , ~ the thing that convinced ' " the thing that convinced him " was the thing that convinced him that labour should abstain on the amendment, so it has been affected but just not heard amendment, so it has been affected butjust not heard a lot. you sent the divisions in the labour party are going to get as much attention in the immediate future as the divisions in the tory party half over the past two and a half years and more. and it is quite interesting in this guardian story, it stuck away will know the story the stat poll conducted after the crushing defeat of theresa may's brexit plan this week has found a 12 point lead for remaining in the eu, the largest margin since the 2016 vote. now nobody knows how it yet really, how the public have perceived the events of the shambolic events by general consent of this past week. and how the dice will land from that come up with the
10:51 pm
public. but has anybody really changed their minds? have major numbers changed? some may have changed their minds to we are not going to be kicked around by anybody, we want to come out. but it remains to be seen. it is really difficult for. tag party, is it not? to decide how to go in the same as it is for the tories. more than any other party, i think labour has always in this coalition that it and of the", of the?! of remain and leave bridge the kind of remain and leave that is there an 2 to = divide. that is there an app to bring that to get it if they want to win the next election and people in jeremy corbyn's office feel that is most important thing for them, that they cannot certify for backing another referendum which would put them out with their own mps and members. you talk about and david is talk about hearing more about splits in labour because look at the front
10:52 pm
page of the independent, a striking image of hillary bent and eve cooper, two senior labour figures who ignored their leader's plea not to hold discussions with government and they went ahead and spoke. yes, they did and others have and surely will but you know the most extraordinary thing to some of us in all of this is these meetings and people tubing and throwing in an out of the cabinet office today of all shades of opinion and number ten, two and a half years since the referendum and suddenly all these meetings are happening. and you do ask why were these meetings not held at any stage of the past two and a half years? i think the answer that brutally is it is not her personality. she is not a consensus person. she does not reach across the divide. ifinal person. she does not reach across the divide. i final commonly in
10:53 pm
person. she does not reach across the divide. ifinal commonly in it labour, she is very tribal, very of tribal tory and has been a tory for a very long time and it feels very strongly about keeping her party together and she has always prioritised that kind of conservative unity rather than trying to reach out and finding that consensus in parliament. let's turn to the front page of the daily telegraph, the same issue, still on brexit, the telegraph if the mirror image headline of the guardian. guardian said itjeremy corbyn faces threat of revoke, telegraph system theresa may faces revolt if she gets no deal. another day of this practise of it where we are finding out more and more about what mps do not want. nothing about what they do want, what they could conceivably wa nt want, what they could conceivably want together. here, we are told as many as 20 men wrecking ministers have indicated they are prepared to quit the government so they can support backbench moves to haul a no—deal brexit. you think about
10:54 pm
everything that is going on today and you get a summary here at the end of this story saying it sounded to me, this is one mp, it sounded to me is that the prime minister has been all things to all people. she was like the sphinx, they say. i suspect that is true. i have been speaking to a lot of tory mps today, who have been in and out of number ten, and what they say is she was actually very collegiate. we felt she was listening but what did she say back to you? they say she did not say anything. so in fact there was a listening exercise. i asked one of them when i pose that and hejust and he just laughed and question and he just laughed and said with did she ever say or offer anything? that is just what we expected. clearly, you're a sceptic came out with the impression she was
10:55 pm
not on her way to pursuing a centre brexit and a customs unit. i think even the mps who want that pursuit —— and that will not is on the route she will go down. she is making these gestures to labour and the lib dems and god knows where she will dems and god knows whete'shiewitt to talk about if they do find someto talk abouta’f therdo with her but her prep her —— meet with her but her prep her —— her priority is bringing tories and dup back on board. that is her the dljpb-ackcn boardflhotis—her route. the dljpb-ackcn boardflhotis—her 1 route. the back step - the the dljpb-ackcn boardflhotis—her 1 n this. the back step - the mrs mae and andrea the times. mrs mae and andrea bledsoe, the leader of the house, they were the last two standing when it came to selecting the current tory leader. it seems to me that they have both been a hugely upset byjohn perko and his style and john perko abandoning convention and a
10:56 pm
numberof perko abandoning convention and a number of ways and upsetting them —— berkow, and basically here we discover that theresa may may want to block the traditional peerage that an outgoing speaker of the house gets. i mean, it is his extraordinary situation. there are those who believe that john three has been the most that met the man for change from the man who is forwarded more change from the speakers chair than any speaker in modern times. but in doing so, he has upset an awful lot of people on his own side. can i get you to comment on the other story in the front page of the times with the journalists appealing to us? this is really touching. one of the signatories is a forerunner to become next chancellor and it is imploring britain to try to stay in

the eu and saying our door is always open, it is misleading him that we miss your black humour and going to the pub after work and driving on the pub after work and driving on the left—hand side. it is so lovely. it also makes you feel so sad that these kind of overtures were never heard during the referendum campaign. ido heard during the referendum campaign. i do not know if it would've made a difference booklet people felt like they had to stay out of it and david cameron felt that way when he was telling him to stay out of it. it makes you wonder if that kind of affection was shown with it was a made people's minds. certainly very heart—warming. thank you both very much. that's it for the papers for this hour. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to my guests, david davies and jessica elgot. we'll all be back for a slightly longer look at the papers at 11:30pm, but for now, goodbye. and for cold night with some
