Encouraged by a tweet from Phil Jones ( @Phil_Jones01 ) who suggests the end of Trump could be the beginning of the end for Brexit and the Brexiteers. Much still to happen here, but a few signs in the papers.
Sunday Times says "panicking No10 dumps Trump and woos Biden" . Planet Fox is not exactly the same i every story. Guess Fox will continue with Trump interviews whatever happens. But is the story about #No10Sources possibly true. Time will tell and quite soon.
Some of the shift is around the newspapers that supported #LiarJohnson on Brexit now attacking him for restrictions on trade during lockdown. Unclear where this will go. Observer points out divergence between Mail and Express on support for lockdown. My guess is that Express closer to UK opinion but Mail aware that newspaper sales are challenged. Reach still has a plan to move online.
Sunday Express though has exclusive interview with Nigel Farage who suggests that Trump is exactly who Britain needs. So some newspapers will stick with #TrumpBrexit indefinitely.
Sunday Times has a comment from Josh Glancy to debunk the Carole Cadwalladr "story" that Cambridge Analytica connects Trump and Brexit. The copy includes mention of Facebook , Steve Bannon, billionaire Mercer, but now apparently the story is shown not to be true in ICO report. Observer editorial very different. Now getting complicated so will come back to this.
The evidence for newspapers linking Trump and Brexit and supporting the ideas around both is much more clear. If there is a change in Washington there may be fresh evidence in legal cases. Also USA journalists seem more direct about dishonesty than some UK media. time will tell, maybe next year.
