hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. joining me, kevin schofield, who's the political editor at huffpost uk, and martin bentham, the home affairs editor for the evening standard. the home affairs editor welcome the home affairs editor back to both of you. let's bring welcome back to both of you. let's bring you up—to—date at home with the last of the front pages. the i says "the race is on" to pick the next tory leader — after rishi sunak announced his bid for the topjob. certainly the first to launch. a picture of the former chancellor

as a young boy features on the front page of the mail. the paper says mps who resigned earlier in the week from the government are facing a backlash from colleagues and voters in the so—called "red wall". the telegraph leads with a warning from rishi sunak that "tax cuts must wait", with the paper calling him "the serious candidate". the ft says the former chancellor is among those being accused of treachery by fellow tories after events of the past few days. "don't listen to fairytales" is the headline in the times — a soundbite from rishi sunak�*s campaign video released this evening. the mirror leads with a tribute to the older brother of tv star declan donnelly, who has died aged 55. and the same story leads the sun — with the headline "my darling brother has gone". let'sjump let's jump straight in. let'sjump straight in. martin, do you want to kick us off this time,

if we take a look at the front of the guardian? let battle begin. how much do you think that is loaded language or, given what you know about tory leadership contests, do you think battle is... they have got it about right? i you think battle is. .. they have got it about right?— it about right? i think so, don't ou? it about right? i think so, don't you? yes. _ it about right? i think so, don't you? yes. i _ it about right? i think so, don't you? yes, i suspect _ it about right? i think so, don't you? yes, i suspect it- it about right? i think so, don't you? yes, i suspect it will- it about right? i think so, don't you? yes, i suspect it will be. l it about right? i think so, don't i you? yes, i suspect it will be. of course, it may quieten down further down the line, but at the outset in particular, i think there is going to be a lot of candidates, clearly at least starting the run, and quite at least starting the run, and quite a lot of division amongst them as to what the strategy should be for the conservative party going forward, leaving aside any personal divisions that may or may not exist as a result of the ousting of boris johnson. so, yes, ithink there result of the ousting of boris johnson. so, yes, i think there is definitely going to be a battle and it test for the conservative party, to contain that rancour, and get

themselves together at the end of themselves together at the end of the process and, hopefully from their point of view, as quickly as possible, and then getting on with operating a new government. that front- -a~e operating a new government. that front—page message, kevin, in the times as well, don't listen to fairy tales, sunak tells tory voters, it is not very heavily disguised that remark, is it? it is pretty obvious who he thinks may have been telling fairy tales to the voters at.— fairy tales to the voters at. yeah, it is not exactly _ fairy tales to the voters at. yeah, it is not exactly subtle. _ fairy tales to the voters at. yeah, it is not exactly subtle. we - fairy tales to the voters at. yeah, it is not exactly subtle. we have l it is not exactly subtle. we have known _ it is not exactly subtle. we have known for — it is not exactly subtle. we have known for a while there were known fora while there were tensions— known for a while there were tensions behind the scenes. they were _ tensions behind the scenes. they were supposed to be a joint economic between _ were supposed to be a joint economic between borisjohnson were supposed to be a joint economic between boris johnson and were supposed to be a joint economic between borisjohnson and rishi sunak— between borisjohnson and rishi sunak three weeks ago, which got cancelled~ — sunak three weeks ago, which got cancelled. obviously that is not going _ cancelled. obviously that is not going to — cancelled. obviously that is not going to happen now, but find mental differences _ going to happen now, but find mental differences between borisjohnson, differences between boris johnson, who differences between borisjohnson, who wanted to appease his backbenchers while also satisfying voters _ backbenchers while also satisfying voters. on the one hand, he wanted to keep _

voters. on the one hand, he wanted to keep spending money on public services _ to keep spending money on public services will also cutting taxes, and obviously you can't do both of those _ and obviously you can't do both of those things definitely, and rishi sunak— those things definitely, and rishi sunak told him that and poor sean did not— sunak told him that and poor sean did not like — sunak told him that and poor sean did not like it. there was tension there _ did not like it. there was tension there. document borisjohnson did not like _ there. document borisjohnson did not like that. that was the first, saiid _ not like that. that was the first, saiid javid — not like that. that was the first, sajid javid went before rishi sunak, and the _ sajid javid went before rishi sunak, and the whole thing went after that. martin, _ and the whole thing went after that. martin, the — and the whole thing went after that. martin, the front of the ft tries to peel back some of the ft tries to peel back some of the layers of this story about what has been going on over the past few days. we have had confirmation from the telegraph online that steve baker has now dropped his leadership bid and is backing suella braverman, boy do you make of this headline in the ft, sunak accused of treachery as he enters tory leadership race? clearly there will be some people, i think it is a go from a downing street official, and aid rather than

an official, rather than any politician directly, but clearly there are were supporters who feel aggrieved by what has happened —— a quote from it. how damaging that is to rishi sunak in the long run i think is questionable because, clearly, an awful lot of people in the conservative party thought it was time for borisjohnson to go. these two full get credit for being out there, leading the move to get rid of him. on the fairy tales word, thatis rid of him. on the fairy tales word, that is notjust referring back to boris, i think it is also part of the leadership thing, you have sold a braverman launching her campaign with talk of big tax cuts, talking about the smaller state, tight spending and so on —— suella braverman. there will be other people coming into this race who want to have tax cuts and lead our believe the way forward for the country is to have a tax cut agenda,

rather than what rishi sunak is saying, a consolidation of all the debts the government has got full to buy think it is, going forward, whether his message is sufficient to appeal to both his own party in westminster and also to the party more generally, for the electorate, ultimately, this is an open question —— | ultimately, this is an open question —— i think it is. ultimately, this is an open question -- i think it is— -- i think it is. front page of the exoress. — -- i think it is. front page of the express, boris, _ -- i think it is. front page of the express, boris, no _ -- i think it is. front page of the express, boris, no turning - -- i think it is. front page of the express, boris, no turning backl -- i think it is. front page of the l express, boris, no turning back on rwanda. the domestic events taking the spotlight, this story suggests that whatever he is doing, however he has been doing it, anyone who has opposed mrjohnson and helped to bring him down is a traitor, and that that might lead to all kinds of

events. that will affect how people vote, if it becomes about which candidate you want to stop. the ex - ress candidate you want to stop. the exoress going — candidate you want to stop. the express going through some stages of -rief express going through some stages of grief right— express going through some stages of grief right now. they were strong supporters of boris johnson, grief right now. they were strong supporters of borisjohnson, so grief right now. they were strong supporters of boris johnson, so they are going _ supporters of boris johnson, so they are going for a betrayal narrative, perhaps — are going for a betrayal narrative, perhaps at— are going for a betrayal narrative, perhaps. at the moment, boris johnson — perhaps. at the moment, boris johnson is _ perhaps. at the moment, boris johnson is a lame—duck prime minister. _ johnson is a lame—duck prime minister, everyone knows he is going. — minister, everyone knows he is going, power has drained out of number— going, power has drained out of number 10, almost overnight, the cabinet were told yesterday there would _ cabinet were told yesterday there would be — cabinet were told yesterday there would be new policy instruments. wants _ would be new policy instruments. wants to — would be new policy instruments. wants to clear the pitch for whoever succeeds _ wants to clear the pitch for whoever succeeds him, so this is one of the bil succeeds him, so this is one of the big ticket— succeeds him, so this is one of the big ticket policies the government had, very— big ticket policies the government had, very controversial and not all that successful, because the votes are still— that successful, because the votes are still coming over, —— the boats are still coming over, —— the boats are coming — are still coming over, —— the boats are coming over the channel. they have _ are coming over the channel. they have not— are coming over the channel. they have not been able to deport anyone, so i have not been able to deport anyone, so i think— have not been able to deport anyone, so i think it _ have not been able to deport anyone, so i think it is — have not been able to deport anyone, so i think it is questionable whether— so i think it is questionable whether any progress on this will be

has been cleared of breaching covid regulations which, personally, i never thought he would be fined for it, but there is a risky would be, he has about well out of that, after his pledge to resign if he were to be fined, to contrast with boris johnson. the test now, depending on who is up against is, whether his decency and liability and so on is enough to stand against whoever the tory party has leading them —— reliability. the column underneath there, one of the reviewers on your programme, keir starmer needs to come out with some ideas, because he needs to have a positive vision to sell to the country as well as pitting himself against the negative image the conservative government has acquired recently.— has acquired recently. good. that's the -a~e has acquired recently. good. that's the page four _ has acquired recently. good. that's the page four dealt _ has acquired recently. good. that's the page four dealt with! _ has acquired recently. good. that's the page four dealt with! let's - has acquired recently. good. that's| the page four dealt with! let's move on to the telegraph. kevin, new met

chief put more bobbies on the beat. i know martin will have something interesting to say about this as home affairs editor of the evening standard, but do you want to kick us off on the story? he has got a quite impressive track record, but arguably one of the demands is they want the event to... having a track record, including a stint at the top, might be regarded as a potential liability.— top, might be regarded as a potential liability. yeah, it is the ultimate poisoned _ potential liability. yeah, it is the ultimate poisoned chalice. - potential liability. yeah, it is the | ultimate poisoned chalice. yeah, potential liability. yeah, it is the . ultimate poisoned chalice. yeah, he has taken _ ultimate poisoned chalice. yeah, he has taken overan ultimate poisoned chalice. yeah, he has taken over an enormous organisation which, he will have an in trav— organisation which, he will have an in tray of— organisation which, he will have an in tray of growing problems and, yeah. _ in tray of growing problems and, yeah. he — in tray of growing problems and, yeah. he is— in tray of growing problems and, yeah, he is saying all the right things— yeah, he is saying all the right things at— yeah, he is saying all the right things at the moment. whether he can actually— things at the moment. whether he can actually employ it, it's another storv — actually employ it, it's another story. yet, _ actually employ it, it's another story. yet, as i say, london is an enormous — story. yet, as i say, london is an enormous city, huge population, all

said, it is a very big organisation, plenty of things can go wrong, however vigorous your control is, so that is the danger for him but on the particular issues, the met has got more police officers then it had ever had, so it is possible... some of these reductions have made it hard for them to do. when he was head of counterterrorism, he was always very keen then on the impact of community policing, in terms of gathering intelligence or in that case terrorist crimes that were going to happen, but the same applies to all forms of crime, that getting police officers close to the community, receiving contacts from them, getting intelligence from them about things that are happening, whether it be gang crime or any sort of offending patterns from people who are causing difficulty in intercepting that before it gets embedded, it's a very important

thing, so the narrative there is right, and he has got the numbers to be able to help to do that. delivering it, of course, is difficult, and there are a lot of challenges in london, all the ones kevin talked about, also national duties like policing protests and so on, which people think about, and all the other demands that go on the force of the police of the capital. let's talk about the other story that had a lot... actually, it did not have as much attention as you might have thought, kevin, which was british airways announcing a slew of flights into cancelling this summer. according to page two of the times tomorrow morning, it amounts to a of its summerflights not tomorrow morning, it amounts to a of its summer flights not going to take off. . , ., , , off. yeah, the figures are pretty staggering. _ off. yeah, the figures are pretty staggering, especially _ off. yeah, the figures are pretty staggering, especially if, - off. yeah, the figures are pretty staggering, especially if, like i staggering, especially if, like myself— staggering, especially if, like myself and my family, you plan to fly british—

martin, thank you both, martin and kevin, and apologise for losing my thread halfway through. i will see you soon and i will see you in the morning. thank you for your company. martin bentham and kevin schofield will be back again. right now, the sport and the weather, and then lewis vaughanjones will be here with the news. goodbye. hello there. this is your update from the bbc sport centre. we start with tennis. cameron norrie's dream run at wimbledon has come to an end. the british number one was beaten in four sets by the defending champion novak djokovic. he'll now face nick kygrios in sunday's final, as he looks to seal a seventh title at the all england club. joe wilson reports. what steps these were for cameron norrie, following just three british men — roger taylor...
