In the headlines, the resignation, yesterday, in the United Kingdom, of two key ministers of the government of Boris Johnson.

The resignation of the finance and health ministers is making headlines for the entire British press, which is already whistling the “game over” for Boris Johnson.

.

"The last chance saloon," quips

, while

brings down the curtain on "BoZo" the clown.

A sign that things are starting to go really badly for the Prime Minister: the centre-left daily 

and the conservative newspaper

have, for once, come to an agreement and now both see Boris Johnson "in edge of the precipice".

For most British dailies, the departures of Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid should be the final blow to an already largely discredited Boris Johnson.

, who denounces the Prime Minister's "repeated cover-ups", says he learned "unsurprisingly" that Boris Johnson had once again lied by denying having been informed of the allegations of sexual misconduct concerning Chris Pincher.

He would therefore have knowingly appointed him "whip" as deputy chief, to the post of responsible for the Conservative deputies.

"Finally, a point of no return has been reached by ministers forced to smear their own reputations to defend a dishonest and delinquent Prime Minister", asserts the newspaper, calling on the other members of Boris Johnson's cabinet to "follow the example" of the resigners.

"Boris Johnson has lost the trust of his party and the country and he must step down now,

, which considers Boris Johnson's "dishonesty" "corrosive" as the country faces an "acute crisis".

In Blower's cartoon, posted to

, General Johnson tries to convince what's left of his troops, starting with his Justice Secretary Dominic Raab, that this is all just a bad time to be had. , that "Operation Save the Chief", will be over by Christmas.

In the background, corpses of bottles and foie gras lie on a table – an allusion of course to “Partygate”, the scandal of the parties organized in Downing Street in full confinement.

A bad time to pass perhaps for her too: in France, Elisabeth Borne is delivering her general policy speech today in the Assembly.

Priority of the French, purchasing power should be "at the heart" of this speech, according to

, which recalls that the presidential majority no longer has an absolute majority in the assembly, where the deputies are ready to do battle.

For its part, the government says it is "open to compromise, but not to one-upmanship" and

sees a thin crest line looming" for the executive, between "protection of the French" and "reduction of deficits". The newspaper announces a "first crash test" in the assembly for the law on purchasing power - hence the drawing of Kak, with Emmanuel Macron driving a humanitarian truck, blocked by both the deputies-soldiers of the Nupes and those of the National Rally.

In France, still, the government finally changed its "case by case" policy and agreed to repatriate 16 jihadist women and 35 children, detained in Syria.

According to

, all adult women were placed in police custody or in detention, and the children entrusted to the Childhood Social Assistance.

This first in France, while Germany and Belgium have already recovered a large part of their nationals, is welcomed by the newspaper, satisfied to see the government "place the principle of humanity above the precautionary principle".

A choice which "implies accepting a share of risk, the part that distinguishes civilized societies from the totalitarian logic of terrorism".

, which evokes arrivals which are "debating", specifies that the minors were transferred as soon as they arrived in Yvelines, to the west of Paris, where those who have ties in the department, will remain on site, but for a period limited, while the others should soon be transferred "elsewhere in Île-de-France or in the provinces", to be closer to their families.

According to the newspaper, there are still nearly 170 minors and 80 mothers in Syrian camps controlled by the Kurds, places where living conditions are "appalling", according to the UN.

We don't leave each other on this.

reports on two football matches, which took place last weekend, in Sierra Leone - two meetings which resulted in rather surprising scores, since the winners imposed themselves respectively 91 to 1 and 95 to 0 , that's more than a goal per minute.

The winners benefited from very favorable circumstances: expulsions do you want some, a referee disappeared at half-time and even a player who scored 30 goals on his own!

These dubious circumstances have put the flea in the ear of the Sierra Leonean Football League, which has opened an investigation to determine if these matches were fixed… or if they are two consecutive miracles.
