Scrutiny if you ask a question

The Brexit debate now relates to Trump and Israel. The BBC hosted show for Conservative leadership candidates demonstrated how these issues relate. Recent Trump visit backed Farage and Johnson. After leaving EU a trade deal with USA seems the only option. Tweets from Trump about Khan are part of a position on Islam that also supports Israel. ( Recent news is that Golan Heights now include the Trump Heights ).

Strangely to my mind the newspapers today have switched the news to the people who asked the questions. Do words have consequences? Should there be a general election? No follow up for the candidates but Daily Mail and Express have front pages about the background of two people who also have been suspended from jobs following checks on social media posts.

True if you get to the end of Leo McKinstry column he remarks that "none of the leadership contenders ....shone brightly under pressure". Boris Johnson did not commit any howlers.

The Daily Mail front page complains that Boris Johnson was asked 23 follow up questions, 10 more than anyone else. For context, this was the first time he has been answering questions on telly during this election. Is he supposed to be a natural for a general election situation? Are questions allowed?

BBC Radio 4  5.30 news today reported on this as the news from the papers. Will this agenda continue?

I still think the Guardian version on YouTube is missing the bit on Islamophobia so I repeat it here from yesterday

Hunt is also the current Foreign Secretary. When he retweets Trump you might think that would get more comment.
