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 newspaper leads feature various stories, but almost all of them are domestic political news. A number of the headlines lead on plans from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to challenge what he describes as Britain’s “sick note culture.” Elsewhere, the EU’s olive branch to UK students, Thames Water nationalisation plans and the Tory MP cash scandal make the front pages.

Several UK papers, and most of the Scottish front pages, of course, lead on news that former Scottish First Minister, Nicola Strugeon’s husband has been charged with stealing from the SNP. 

Most of the papers offer up a snippet of their review of the latest Taylor Swift album on their front pages. So far, it’s all glowing reviews for Taylor’s – The Tortured Poets Department.
