It's been a rough week for Boris Johnson, with major setbacks for his Brexit strategy and the resignation of his own brother from the government. Friday brought a new kind of trouble, though of a lighter variety. The cameras were rolling as Johnson visited a farm in Scotland and lost control of the bull he was leading—it bumped straight into a police officer. The first paragraph of the Washington Post story: "The steaks have never been so high for Boris Johnson, who has vowed to steer Britain out of the European Union and lead the country forward."

In a more serious development, Britain's Parliament passed a law compelling Johnson to ask for a Brexit delay if no deal is in place by Oct. 19, per the AP. Johnson, who insists the UK must leave the EU even without such a deal, has said he'd rather be "dead in a ditch" than seek a delay. Business Insider makes the case that he might have no choice but to resign as prime minister. This heckler, via the BBC, surely wouldn't mind that. (More Boris Johnson stories.)
