THE PAPERS IN the UK today are led by reaction to the televised verbal tussle between Prime Minister Boris Johnson and opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn.
The i newspaper says the debate saw “insults fly” while the Financial Times says Johnson survived a “hazardous duel” with Corbyn, according to a snap YouGov poll also covered by The Times which showed a narrow win for the PM.
