Johnson to face court over claims he lied to public over Brexit
Boris Johnson is to be summonsed to court to face accusations of misconduct in a public office, over claims he made that the UK sent the EU £350m a week. It relates to comments the former Mayor of London made while campaigning for the UK to leave the EU before the 2016 referendum. Marcus Ball has now brought a private prosecution against the former foreign secretary, saying he misled the public during the campaign and again at the 2017 general election. Brexit in-depth: All the latest news, analysis and expert opinion "Democracy demands responsible and honest leadership from those in public office," Mr Ball said previously. "The conduct of the proposed defendant Boris Johnson was both irresponsible and dishonest. "It was, we say, criminal."
"Having considered all the relevant factors I am satisfied that this is a proper case to issue the summons as requested for the three offences as drafted. The charges are indictable only. "This means the proposed defendant will be required to attend this court for a preliminary hearing, and the case will then be sent to the Crown Court for trial. The charges can only be dealt with in the Crown Court."
The Daily Mirror leads with figures that show closures of family surgeries have left more than 500,000 patients forced to find a new GP. The paper blames a decade of underfunding by the government and expresses concern that the situation is likely to become worse. One thing is clear, concludes the Daily Mail, we must have more GPs. The paper describes the situation as critical, with 40% of doctors saying they are planning to retire or quit the NHS in the next five years. In short, says the Daily Express, we must find a way to train and retain more of them.
The main story in the i newspaper details the financial problems facing the Conservatives. It talks of the Tories haemorrhaging cash, with donors turning their back on them because of the prime minister's handling of Brexit. The paper says the situation is so perilous that the party's chief executive, Sir Mick Davis, has been forced to prop up the Tory headquarters using his financial wealth. The Sun reports Sir Mick accounted for nearly one-in-10 pounds given in the first three months of the year. The main story in the Times is devoted to a new opinion poll that suggests the Liberal Democrats are ahead of the Conservatives and Labour for the first time since 2010. The YouGov poll of 1,700 people questioned about their general election voting intentions puts the Lib Dems on 24% - two points ahead of the Brexit Party. The Tories and Labour are both on 19%.
The Times thinks the findings support the idea that the electorate is fracturing between those who support a no-deal Brexit and those who want to reverse the referendum. Writing in the paper, YouGov's director of political research, Anthony Wells, argues it is too early to write off the two main parties, saying he expects Labour and the Conservatives to be back ahead after the new Tory leader is elected. The Sun believes the poll exposes the extent of voter fury about Brexit, while the HuffPost UK website says the Lib Dems will see the lead as validation for their avowedly anti-Brexit position. The Guardian's main story is devoted to its investigation into the attendance and voting records of some members of the House of Lords. It reports that 46 peers failed to register a single vote last year. One Labour peer is said to have claimed almost £50,000 in attendance and travel expenses covering every day the Lords was sitting, despite never speaking or asking written questions. The newspaper suggests the data will raise fresh questions about the size and effectiveness of the Lords, and the funds that can be claimed by those who fail to regularly contribute.

The sooner Labour realises that no version of Brexit can bring the country together, the better The Brexit Party’s message in the EU elections was ‘We demand Brexit NOW’, the Liberal Democrats had ‘**** to Brexit’ and the Labour Party’s was, well, a little more hard to follow
At last, this is what the country demanded. We voted to get our democracy back, so now our prime minister will be chosen by 100,000 rural 97-year-olds. And these people generally live in areas that represent the whole nation, such as Outer Fridlington on the Marsh, where they’re familiar with issues such as immigration, because last year someone moved there from Upper Fridlington on the Marsh, which is the other side of the jousting range. Among the hundreds of candidates, there are several sub-sections, such as the contest to be the most anti-Europe, in which Boris Johnson will promise to restart the Seven Years War against Prussia, so Andrea Leadsom will reply she’ll make it compulsory to sell cocaine in pounds and ounces rather than grammes, and make it a criminal offence to have déjà vu.
Then there’s the competition to be the liberal one, so Rory Stewart showed he can use the internet and said he smoked opium, but Michael Gove will retaliate by revealing on Instagram that while he was education secretary, in the evenings he was starring in a live gay **** show in Amsterdam. “Having to say my lines clearly and concisely while placed in challenging physical situations, gave me a unique insight into the importance of emphasising correct English grammar,” he’ll tell us.

She said: ”Merely voting for another party is not in itself a grounds for exclusion or expulsion or anything like that and I want the large numbers of people who did that last week for heart-felt reasons to rest assured.
