Boris Johnson : the 30-day spin
When Boris Johnson met German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the outcome was, depending on your spin, a pledge to do a Brexit deal in 30 days or a threat to end it all after just 30 days. The backstop – the hope of avoiding a hard Irish border – can be re-negotiated. Maybe.
But as big as the story of politicking is, the remarkable bit is the realisation that even the Labour supporting Mirror now calls the Prime Minister ‘Boris’ and leads with an image of him looking jovial.
The Daily Express calls Merkel’s move “a major concession; The Sun says it is an “opportunity”. The i says Merkel has given “orders”. The Daily Telegraph says the PM has scored “a victory”. The Mail says Johnson could be “on the brink of a triumphant breakthrough”. The Guardian says Merkel has put “the responsibility for the UK crashing out of the EU firmly at the prime minister’s door”. The Financial Times hears the leader of German parliament’s foreign affairs committee says Johnson is using Merkel to show the British he had tried everything, so he could then blame EU when it all goes wrong.
Such is the spin.

Johanna Konta is as British as 3000 migrant children we must not let in
Yay! Johanna Konta is the British number one – the last Briton standing at Wimbledon. Can she win the tennis comp.? The Daily Mail hopes so:
Johanna Konts was born to Hungarian parents in Sydney, Australia. She moved to the UK when she was 14. In 2012, this migrant / immigrant became a British citizen.
Come one, come all, then. But only if you’re white and play a sport the Daily Mail enjoys:
3,000 future Golden Children can be wrong.

Skatey Kate Middleton Makes Jan Moir Eat Her Teddy
PRINCE William’s lover, the leggy Kate Middleclass, is, like her man, playing at dress ups. Yesterday, Kate was in the papers dressed as a roller (S)Kate-r.
She was “Disco Queen Kate” (Express); “ECHOES OF PRINCESS DI” (Sun); “ROLLER SKATING” (Sun). And the Mail heralded her on its front page as “Skatey Katy”, looking on as she heading to her roller disco in “sober black boots”.
One day on and Kate Middleton is still in her green spandex top, yellow short shorts and roller skates. Has she been home yet?
She’s on the ground. “KATE IN A STATE,” says the Sun. It’s “Skating Kate’s tumble,” says the Express. And the Mail asks: “Is this a portrait of the future Queen of England?”
