A red poppy appears on every front page this morning, and some newspapers are publishing special editions for Remembrance Sunday.

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson condemned BBC presenter Nick Robinson for “claiming the bias row was an anti-BBC conspiracy”, the Mail on Sunday newspaper reported. Speaking on Radio 4’s flagship Today program on Saturday, Robinson said there was “a real concern about editorial standards and errors” at the BBC but there was also a “political campaign by people who want to destroy the organisation”. Johnson called Robinson’s remarks “ridiculous” and “arrogant.”
