From ‘Brexit's darkest hour’ to the ‘dude’: Newspapers react to Boris Johnson’s victory
After Boris Johnson unsurprisingly won the Tory leadership election, UK newspapers did not waste time in commenting on the next Prime Minister.
Mr Johnson has proved to be equally as divisive between the country’s media as he is with MPs in his own party.
Headlines ranged from predicting doom in ‘Brexit’s darkest hour’ to hoping that Mr Johnson could ‘bring the sunshine’ following the reign of Theresa May.
