Newspaper review: Ched Evans, Jean Alexander and Brexit

Ched Evans was found not guilty of rape on Friday - but the papers say parts of his trial were troubling.

The Daily Mail asks why Mr Evans' lawyers were allowed to ask the alleged victim about her sexual history.

In rape trials, cross-examining an alleged victim about their sexual history is banned - except in "exceptional circumstances".

The Mail says the decision to lift the ban - made by the appeal court - was "extraordinary". The Guardian says it has "sparked outrage, external".

In the Daily Mirror, Alison Phillips writes, external: "What woman in her right mind would go to the police this morning if she were raped last night after too much to drink? I wouldn't."

The Daily Star says Mr Evans spent £5m on clearing his name. But a number of papers point out that - after being jailed in 2012 - he may be entitled to hundreds of thousands of pounds in compensation.

The Sun says that - even though Mr Evans was found not guilty of rape - he is "guilty of treating women like dirt, external".

That thought is echoed by Matt Dickinson in the Times, external. "Just because it isn't rape, doesn't mean it isn't misogynistic and nasty," he says.

The Daily Mirror devotes its front page to Jean Alexander, in character as Coronation Street's Hilda Ogden. The actress died on Friday aged 90.

"She was the world's favourite soap star," says her niece, Sonia Hearld.

The paper's television critic, Ian Hyland, external, says Alexander's "finest Corrie moment" was in 1984, after her on-screen husband Stan died.

"Hilda in her funereal best, quietly opening the brown paper parcel that contained Stan's personal effects.

"Her trembling fingers find Stan's glasses case, and, as the silent credits roll, it all comes flooding out.

"It was like something out of an Alan Bennett monologue. Little wonder she was named best actress at the RTS Awards the following year."

The Guardian's Stuart Heritage says Hilda Ogden was "Weatherfield's answer to Carmen Miranda, external".

"While Miranda wore fruit in her hair," he writes, "Hilda favoured curlers and headscarf - as if her hairdo were permanently in preparation for a glamorous invitation that never came."

Oliver Wright from the Times and Kevin Schofield from Politics Home review Saturday's papers on the BBC News channel.

"We British are on our way to making the biggest screw-up since Suez," writes Matthew Parris in the Times, external. "And somewhere deep down, the new governing class know it."

The screw-up - according to Mr Parris - is "this Brexit thing".

"How do you make this thing work? We asks because the suspicion grows that none of you has the foggiest."

Mr Parris may not, then, agree with with front page of the Daily Express, external. "Anti-Brexit 'Remoaners' were urged last night to stop knocking Britain," it says.

Inside, the columnist Ross Clark writes: "There are are a small number of frustrated Remainers who will try every trick in the book to overturn the result.

"Ultimately they will lose, because the will of the people - the genuine people - will prevail."

In the Financial Times, the Private Eye editor Ian Hislop is more laid-back.

"It's been terrific for us," he says. "2016 is an incredibly funny year."

A portrait of the Queen features on the front page of the Times, and inside most other papers.

The work, by Henry Ward, celebrates her 60 years as patron of the Red Cross. But some people aren't impressed.

"It's not fit to hang on the railings of Kensington Gardens," art critic Sir Roy Strong tells the Daily Mail.

"It's the sort of thing you see drawn on the pavement, and people put money down."

Tell us what you really think, Sir Roy.

The Sun says the painting, external makes the Queen look like the comedian, David Walliams. But the paper's art critic - the eminent "Toulouse le Plot" - is slightly more sympathetic.

"Perhaps Henry Ward just caught our graceful Queen at a funny angle," he writes.
