Most of Friday’s front pages lead on the same story – the landmark report that calls for women impacted by pension changes. It calls for them to receive payments and follows a campaign by so-called Waspi women – named after the group Women Against State Pension Inequality. 

Thursday’s front pages feature various leads but politics seems to be the hot topic with the government suffering a series of defeats over its Rwanda asylum plan in the Lords last night, UK inflation and the economic outlook making several splashes. The shock resignation of Ireland’s PM is pictured on a couple of front pages. 

Almost all of Wednesday’s tabloids cover the latest from the royal family, as Princess Kate’s medical records were reportedly breached as unauthorised members of staff tried to access her health records. Other royal front page leads report on the grainy video of William and Kate at a farm shop in Windsor, that sparked wild conspiracy theories online. 

Tuesday’s newspaper front pages feature a variety of leads, with pictures of the Princess of Wales out and about a popular splash for the tabloids, and UK politics a hot topic for the broadsheets. 

Monday marks a bank holiday in the UK, but politics doesn’t stop and Tory party infighting continues to dominate the front pages. The political drama has led to speculation of whether a snap election will be called this half of the year, and whether the Tory party will oust Rishi Sunak as prime minister before the next general election.

Many of the Sunday Papers look at politics in the UK, including reports that MPs are planning to topple Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as polling continues to be dire for the Tory party. Many Tory MPs are worried the Conservatives are facing their biggest-ever electoral defeat later this year, with a general election expected in the second half of 2024. 

Friday’s front pages cover a variety of stories. Several of the papers cover recent political news from the UK, including the government’s new definition of extremism and the ongoing scandal over a top Tory donor who is alleged to have made racist comments about MP Diane Abbott. 

Thursday’s front pages report on the ongoing row over alleged comments made by Tory donor Frank Hester about MP Diane Abbott. Hester – who donated £10m to the Conservative Party last year, reportedly said Abbott made him “want to hate all black women,” and said she “should be shot.” 

A variety of, mostly domestic, topics dominate the UK front pages. The latest from the UK political scene makes a few of the splashes, as the government admitted comments made by one of the party’s biggest donors were racist. 

The edited photo of the Princess of Wales and her children continues to dominate the papers. Yesterday, Princess Kate acknowledged she had altered the Mother’s Day image after four international agencies ordered ‘kill notices’ over the picture – meaning they told media not to use the image over fears of it being doctored.
