‘A big Labour majority will be best for Britain’ & ‘Trump granted immunity’ – Paper Talk 

News Briefing

It will come as no surprise that Tuesday’s front pages continue with their coverage of the upcoming UK general election. UK voters head to the polls on Thursday to elect a new party into power, with all opinion polls heavily suggesting a Labour government will be ushered into No 10. 

With only a few days left the papers are firmly in their camps with who they are backing – and their front pages reflect that. The liberal left-leaning papers lead on Labour’s promises of a brighter future, whilst the traditional Conservative-supporting right-leaning newspapers warn their readers not to abandon the Tories and go to Reform UK. The papers say a vote for Reform will keep Labour in power for many years. The right-wing papers have accepted this general election loss and instead have focused on making sure the Conservatives remain the official opposition. 

Elsewhere, US politics also finds space on the front page after the US Supreme Court ruled that former presidents are entitled to some degree of immunity from criminal prosecution.
