Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s latest offer, citing dissatisfaction and ‘disjointed’ leadership. He pointedly noted that options include making a deal or escalating military action. As the situation develops, governments are drafting contingency plans to address potential supply chain disruptions.

Friday’s front pages feature a variety of topics, with domestic politics the most popular. The latest scandal plaguing the Conservative Party – an election betting scandal – makes several of the more liberal front pages. 

Several papers – right and left – pick up on Sir Keir Starmer’s comment that Jeremy Corbyn would have been a better prime minister than Boris Johnson.

Across the papers, England’s drab performance against Denmark – which resulted in a 1-1 draw, makes most of the papers. The coverage is continued across the back pages with critics saying England’s performance was ‘tame’ ‘laboured’ and ‘disjointed’.

Thursday’s front pages feature a variety of topics – politics, is of course the focus. Several of the Conservative-supporting papers lead on the latest polling, which has suggested the Tories are on course for an electoral wipeout. Critics will say these papers are attempting to woo back disillusioned Tory voters by scaring them into voting Conservative otherwise expect an all-powerful Labour government. 

Several left-leaning newspapers also lead with the new polling data – but point to the fact the right-wing Reform Party – led by Nigel Farage – is picking up those disillusioned Tory voters. 

A few other politically charged stories also feature, with images of Just Stop Oil’s latest protest being the most popular this morning.

Wednesday’s front pages continue to be dominated by the latest from the UK political campaigns, ahead of July’s general election. 

Elsewhere, several of the papers feature images of royals attending Ascot – but otherwise the news is fairly politically focused.  

The back pages cover the European Championship, the latest from Kylian Mbappe nose injury, the latest from the England camp and a look ahead to Scotland’s Wednesday match.
