The Guardian – New calls on Starmer to discard Tories’ two-child benefits limit
The Guardian’s front page leads on politics and football. Sir Keir Starmer is facing new calls to end the two-child benefits limit as new research shows 250,000 children will be affected by the policy over the next year. Jude Bellingham is pictured after his 13th minute goal sealed a 1-0 victory for England over Serbia on Sunday in their opening game of the Euro 2024 championships in Germany.
‘Bellingham gets England off to a winning start’ – is another headline on the front page.
