The Telegraph says Boris Johnson was "fishing for votes" at the final hustings of the Tory leadership contest on Wednesday evening - playing on the moment he brandished a kipper to demonstrate his point about the cost of being a member of the EU.

The Guardian says Mr Johnson was one politician in Theresa May's firing line when she blasted the "absolutism" of some in her party in her final speech as prime minister.

The Daily Mail leads on the latest of its series of stories on the dementia care "scandal". It says experts predict dementia care costs will soar by 79% in a decade, meaning care home residents who pay their own bills will face charges £21,000 higher than those who are funded by the taxpayer.
