10:40 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the former conservative pensions minister, baroness ros altmann and the economist and member of labour's policy forum, grace blakeley. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. leading the metro, you ain't seen nothing yet folks, says the prime minisiter, as he tells the cabinet to get to work after their election landslide. in the guardian, a plea from labour's keir starmer: we must stop damaging infighting after the disastrous election result. the telegraph leads with turkey , letting palestinian group hamas plot terror attacks on israel. in the mirror, fire peril of half a million washing machines as whirlpool announce a huge product recall after a number
10:41 pm
of fires. in the sun, the sack for flack — tv star caroline flack forced to quit tv show love island after being charged with assault. lots to get our teeth into there. let's start with the metro. boris johnson, as you would expect from a barnstorming performance in the commentsj, roz he says the hard work starts now. and it is going to be hard work, isn't it? it should be, boris is in his element and he could not have wished for a much better result. and he has hit the ground running, he wanted everyone else to hit the ground running, talking about people's cabinet, where the servants of the people, not the masters and we've got to deliver on the people's priorities, andi deliver on the people's priorities, and i think that basicallyjust trying to engineer this euphoria and this sense of we are going to get things done, notjust brexit about
10:42 pm
other things. socialjustice, social ca re other things. socialjustice, social care from a technical homelessness. education and infrastructure, a whole list of things that he is now promising that he will deliver, and as he rightly says people are expecting him to deliver the expectations are very high. brexit is going to happen at the end of january as you know. we will have left the eu and be in a transition period but you won't feel that much different after the 31st of january because transition maintains all the current rules but we want legally be members any more. whatever happens after that we are out. and as you know, i was, after that we are out. and as you know, iwas, i after that we are out. and as you know, i was, i would after that we are out. and as you know, iwas, iwould have after that we are out. and as you know, i was, i would have preferred to stay for at least very close to the eu and i still hoped we might be able to stay very close to the eu but whatever parliament decides whatever boris johnson
10:43 pm
but whatever parliament decides whatever borisjohnson decides that's what's going to happen. with that's what's going to happen. with that kind of majority you have to just accept it i think. quite triumphant scenes in the commons, and that's understandable with a majority like that but do you get the sense that the election was less a big endorsement of borisjohnson and more a great big no tojeremy corbyn? it was deafly an endorsement ofjohnson positive message of get brexit done, there was a lot of mistakes made by the corbyn campaign as well. as part of a much more coordinated global slowdown that will impact quite severely on the areas asjohnson said will impact quite severely on the areas as johnson said lynn tim their votes. whether or not he can ove rco iti e votes. whether or not he can overcome some of votes. whether or not he can overcome some of the very long—standing tensions in the conservative party against much more
10:44 pm
free—market conservative party against much more free— market people conservative party against much more free—market people like sergeyjavid that will remain quite close ally in those elements close to the break supported and see themselves as socially very white ring but also wanting to spend the liberal money in those areas that are devoted to the european union and with can ove rco iti e the european union and with can overcome those divisions and chart a course through what is undoubtedly going to be a rocky several years. it's going to be very interesting to see in one way or another if things do go wrong there's no escaping the fa ct do go wrong there's no escaping the fact that it will all be on johnson and the conservative party. very interesting to point grace is making because you're now in a party that has vastly changed from a few weeks ago. as was said during the election, this is the brexit party now. the voting base is also very different. actually, ithink now. the voting base is also very different. actually, i think that gives a tremendous opportunity to do a lot of good for groups that have been left behind, and if we can pick up been left behind, and if we can pick up on that and actually deliver
10:45 pm
radical new policies that can help the regions, places outside the london and the southeast which have been neglected actually that would been neglected actually that would be very good, and to be fair. even if there is some kind of economic wea kness if there is some kind of economic weakness which i agree with grace, i think that's quite likely in the not—too—distant future boris johnson has got five years to come good. without an election for the next five years as long as by year four or five things five years as long as by year four orfive things are five years as long as by year four or five things are going much better that's what needs to happen, and in fa ct that's what needs to happen, and in fact in the meantime but there are difficulties on the brexit side he will be in a position of perhaps being able to try and blame the eu rather than anything that's happening here. you have to give credit, this was an amazing victory. a giant roll of the dice but the gamble paid off. and he has now got ca rte gamble paid off. and he has now got carte blanche gamble paid off. and he has now got ca rte blanche and gamble paid off. and he has now got
