Wednesday’s front pages cover the news the UK government has announced an extra £75bn on defence spending over the next six years. The papers declare the UK is on a “war footing” after the announcement.

Away from the two main stories, there’s room for other domestic stories, with many of the tabloids marking Prince Louis’s sixth birthday.
