Knifepoint robberies have decreased by 20% in hotspot areas across the UK, including London, compared to June 2024, according to Home Office data. This decline coincides with National Knife Crime Awareness week and the bi-annual Operation Sceptre, which has led to 243 arrests and the seizure of 159 knives this year.

Two stories dominate Thursday’s front pages: A report into the failings in the care of the Nottingham killer and the reaction to Donald Trump’s plans for the US to take over Gaza and to resettle Palestinians in nearby countries.

The front pages also leave room to report on Kemi Badenoch’s plans with migrants if the Conservative Party wins the next election. The papers report Badenoch’s move is an attempt to curb the rise of the Reform party.

The back pages lead on Newcastle’s 2-0 win over Arsenal last night to send them to the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
