The Economist says IN HIS OWN inimitable style, President Donald Trump has identified something he dislikes and approached it with a wrecking ball. Deprived of American funding by an executive order, aid programmes around the world are on the brink of collapse. But for the intervention of a judge at the 11th hour on January 28th, large parts of America’s federal government might have suffered a similar fate.

The Financial Times says the Bank of England has halved its growth forecast, with a cut to rates powering the FTSE 100. The bank is expecting the economy to grow by just 0.75% this year in what the paper describes as a blow to Chancellor Rachel Reeves.

The Sun leads with an exclusive interview with the girlfriend of the late singer Liam Payne. Kate Cassidy tells the paper the star was “secretly considering” a reunion with his One Direction bandmates before his death last year. “One Direction was such a huge part of his life and he would have been more than happy in the future to do that. He was so proud of the boys. He loved them so much he looked at them as brothers. “It’s so heartbreaking that the fans will never get to see all five boys back on stage together.

The Daily Mail doesn’t mince words, directly blaming Reeves for what it calls a “new era of stagflation.” The paper argues that her recent budget has led to a dangerous combination of stagnant growth and rising inflation, a scenario that spells trouble for households and businesses alike.

The Daily Mirror leads on showbiz news reporting allegations have been made against TV chef Gino D’Acampo made “sexual and aggressive comments” to a “string of women at work.” He has denied the allegations. A review of the new BBC show Amandaland makes the front page as the paper interviews the star Lucy Punch.

The Daily Telegraph shifts the blame to the “bloated state,” arguing that the expansion of the public sector since the pandemic has not been matched by productivity gains. The paper highlights comments from Andrew Bailey, who pointed out that the addition of half a million public sector workers has failed to deliver the economic boost many had hoped for. Prince Harry is pictured at the top of the paper amid reports Trump could release his visa application. Harry has faced accusations he lied about not taking class-A drugs to get a US visa.

Meanwhile, The Times highlights the Bank’s warning of a new squeeze on living standards, calling it a setback for Reeves. The paper notes that the Bank has described growth as weak and productivity as “tepid,” painting a grim picture for the months ahead. US actress Angelina Jolie is pictured on the front page.
