Just one day until the election, the front pages continue to be dominated by domestic politics.

Wednesday’s newspapers report on the late intervention in the election campaign by former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The right-leaning newspapers that traditionally back the Conservative Party have welcomed the intervention of Boris Johnson – believing he can help stop the Tories from being completely wiped out. 

The left-leaning newspapers are fully behind Labour’s final push, reporting that the 14 years of economic austerity and Tory failures are almost over.

Away from the election, there’s room on the front pages for pictures of Andy Murray after news came he had pulled out of his last-ever Wimbledon Singles. The back pages continue their Wimbledon coverage, and there’s room to report on the latest from the Euros.

It will come as no surprise that Tuesday’s front pages continue with their coverage of the upcoming UK general election. UK voters head to the polls on Thursday to elect a new party into power, with all opinion polls heavily suggesting a Labour government will be ushered into No 10. 

With only a few days left the papers are firmly in their camps with who they are backing – and their front pages reflect that. The liberal left-leaning papers lead on Labour’s promises of a brighter future, whilst the traditional Conservative-supporting right-leaning newspapers warn their readers not to abandon the Tories and go to Reform UK. The papers say a vote for Reform will keep Labour in power for many years. The right-wing papers have accepted this general election loss and instead have focused on making sure the Conservatives remain the official opposition. 

Elsewhere, US politics also finds space on the front page after the US Supreme Court ruled that former presidents are entitled to some degree of immunity from criminal prosecution.
