Thursday’s front pages offer a variety of headlines, mostly domestic stories, with no single lead story dominating the front splashes. Several papers report on the stabbing of a soldier in Gillingham in Kent, while the ongoing bullying scandal on the popular TV series Strictly Come Dancing continues to be heavily covered by the tabloids.

The back pages report Ben White is considering playing for England again now Gareth Southgate and Steve Holland have departed. Olympics 2024 is also covered on the back – with Morocco’s win over Argentina a popular story.

Wednesday’s front pages offer a welcome break from the dominant stories over the past few weeks, as politics slips off many front pages, leaving room for other domestic topics and some showbiz gossip. 

The BBC’s apology regarding the Strictly Come Dancing scandal is a prominent story for many of the tabloids, amid whispers the popular reality TV show could face the axe. Many of the front pages carry pictures of the three-time Olympic dressage champion, Charlotte Dujardin, who’s pulled out of the Paris Games after a video emerged which she said showed her “making an error of judgement”.

Football dominates the back pages, including the latest transfer reports and gossip.

Tuesday’s front pages, for the second day, are heavily dominated by US politics. Many broadsheets turn their focus to Vice President Kamala Harris as millions of dollars in donations to the Democrats have started to pour in, and Democratic heavyweights throw their support behind the VP. 

The UK tabloids are less focused on US politics and look a little closer to home with various domestic stories featured as the leads. 

The back pages are focused on Premier League gossip and the upcoming Paris Olympics.

Sunday’s newspaper front pages have a range of leads – with domestic politics being the most popular. Several papers leave space to report on the ongoing chaos caused by the global IT crash as travellers remain stranded and reports suggest it could take weeks for the chaos to calm.
