Friday’s front pages continue their political coverage – an ongoing theme in recent weeks, with a couple of papers looking across the pond to the news of Donald Trump being found guilty in his hush-money trial. 

Elsewhere, the latest from the UK political landscape is also featured heavily on the front pages as the general election looms. 

The back pages bring you the latest from the Premier League as complaints over the jam-packed football schedule continue to dominate the sports world. Elsewhere, the back pages also look ahead to Saturday’s Champions League final at Wembley where Borussia Dortmund will face Real Madrid. Londoner Jadon Sancho will face fellow Englishman Jude Bellingham.

Most of Thursday’s front pages lead on domestic topics – with politics being the most popular. We’re less than 5 weeks away from the UK general election and the campaign trail is heating up. 

Several of the front pages lead on Diane Abbott defying Sir Keir Starmer as she says she will remain an MP for as long as possible. Abbott was suspended from Labour last April for saying Jewish, Irish and Traveller people do not face racism “all their lives”. 

The right-leaning and left-leaning newspapers have a different take on the Abbott story – either way, it’s bad for Labour! 

More from the campaign trail also features on the papers, the right-leaning newspapers lead on Tory Chancellor Jeremy Hunt saying Labour can’t be trusted with the economy, whilst the left-leaning newspapers say NHS nurses are in support of a Labour government. 

Strikes, celebrities and UK crime stories also feature on the front pages.

As expected, Wednesday’s front pages are heavily dominated by the latest developments from the general election campaign trail. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer have been on the road trying to shore up support ahead of the 4 July snap election. 

The right-leaning newspapers bulk up support for Sunak’s national service plans and take aim at ‘mickey-mouse’ degrees, saying the PM will ban such degrees. 

The left-leaning newspapers report on the probe against Angela Rayner being dropped by police, they rip apart the prime ministers ‘triple lock’ policy, calling it a gimmick, and pick up on Labour’s promise to clear NHS waiting lists within 5 years. 

The back pages report on the latest from the Premier League – the season may be over, but hiring continues.
