Wednesday’s front pages feature a variety of stories covering national and international politics as well as domestic stories including the resignation of England football manager Gareth Southgate – who resigned yesterday after eight years in charge. 

Elsewhere, Jay Slater, 19, whose body was found yesterday also makes the front pages. There is also room for the latest from TV shows and showbiz gossip.

Tuesday’s newspapers mark a shift in coverage as most broadsheets cover the latest from the US presidential race – with a little UK politics on the front page. 

The tabloids lead to the discovery of a body in the Jay Slater case. Though not formally identified it is believed the body is that of the missing 19-year-old Brit, with early theories being that he slipped into a ravine and died. The papers note that rescue workers had to use a helicopter to reach the ravine and it’s believed specialists found Slater’s possessions. 

A handful of the front pages leave space to assess the England football team and whether Gareth Southgate will be replaced. The speculation around Southgate’s future dominates the back pages.

Monday’s front pages are dominated by two stories: England’s 2-1 loss to Spain in the Euro 2024 final and the aftermath of the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump – as more details start to trickle out. 

Most papers feature images of a dejected-looking England after Spain scored a late goal to clinch the trophy. Other papers look ahead to the future of England boss Gareth Southgate, with speculation he could now be replaced. 

Over in the USA, more and more details are starting to emerge regarding the shooting of Donald Trump. The former president spoke out pleading for unity in the country whilst the US secret services are coming under fire as details over how the shooter was able to get so close to Trump without being stopped is questioned.

Most of Sunday’s front pages lead with England’s upcoming European Championship final against Spain. 

The UK newspapers had gone to print before the news of the assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump. As a result, the newspapers have no coverage but the online websites are all dominated by the ordeal. The gunman has been shot dead. Trump suffered a shot to the ear – he has since been discharged from hospital. At least one other person, who was in the audience, was shot and killed.

As it has been for much of this week, the front pages continue to be dominated by domestic politics and football. Friday sees stories on prison reform, the prime minister’s first overseas trip to attend a Nato summit in Washington, the two-child benefit cap and the rise in the value of the pound on the foreign currency markets.

Elsewhere, almost all of the front pages splash on the England football team ahead of the European Championship final on Sunday. England will face Spain at the Olympiastadion Berlin. The back pages continue the Euros coverage.

Thursday’s front pages report on domestic news, with the killing of the wife and two daughters of the BBC horse racing commentator John Hunt one of the morning’s lead stories. It comes after a manhunt in which Kyle Clifford, 26, was apprehended. 

Most papers feature images of the England National Team as they beat Switzerland 2-1 to reach the final of the European Championship – where they’ll face Spain. Ollie Watkins is pictured on many of the tabloids after his late goal gave England the win.
