A BBC News presenter has been suspended on air for a possible breach of neutrality after he asked “Can I be so happy?” In a political program following Boris Johnson’s decision to withdraw from the race to become prime minister.
Martin Croxall was presenting the Sunday night BBC News edition of The Papers, where journalists review daily newspapers, when she made the comments at the start of the programme, about 90 minutes after Johnson made his decision public.
“Well, this is all very exciting, isn’t it?” said Crossel. “May I be so happy?”

The programme started at 10.30pm on Sunday, around 90 minutes after Johnson pulled out of the Tory leadership race.
In her first question to her guests, Croxall also remarked: “Can we even show you the front pages just yet, have they arrived? No they haven’t arrived.
“It’s all a little bit, you know, lastminute.com isn’t it? Because all the front pages were probably out of date by the time we received them.”
Croxall also suggested during the programme that her comments could have breached BBC guidelines.
Responding to a guest’s joke aimed at Johnson, she said: “I shouldn’t probably [laugh]. I’m probably breaking some terrible due impartiality rule by giggling.”
