‘Starmer calls on Nato to increase defence spending’ – Paper Talk 

By

Wednesday’s front pages report on the Nato summit in Washington and England’s upcoming Euros match against the Netherlands – the winner will face Spain in the finals. 

Most papers lead on UK politics. Sir Keir Starmer is heading to Washington to join the Nato summit where he’ll urge other European countries to up their defence spending. For many of the right-learning conservative newspapers, there are concerns Starmer is acting quickly enough and anger over Labour’s decision to rip up the Rwanda plan. 

Many of the tabloids lead on the upcoming Euros match.

Tuesday’s front pages continue its coverage of UK politics as the new Labour government begin setting out their plans for the country. Much of the coverage is around defence spending following a Russian attack on a Ukrainian hospital. 

The right-leaning newspapers claim the new chancellor – Rachel Reeves – is laying the groundwork for tax hikes following her first speech as Chancellor in which she said Labour had inherited the worst economy since WW2. The publications argue the economy the Tories inherited from the last Labour government – in 2010 – was far worse than today’s situation. 

Elsewhere, England’s upcoming Euros semi-finals make several tabloid front pages – and not surprisingly, dominates the back pages.

It’s politics galore on the front pages of Monday’s newspapers, with many looking ahead at what Rachel Reeves is expected to say in her first speech as chancellor. Reeves is the UK’s first woman chancellor of the exchequer. 

French politics is also splashed on the front of many papers, as the left-wing bloc won a shocking victory in the second and final parliamentary election on Sunday. France now faces a political deadlock after Sunday’s election dealt a blow to the far-right National Rally – but left no party with a majority.

As Europe’s summer of sports is now in full swing, the front pages offer up their analysis of Wimbledon, the Euros and the British Grand Prix. The coverage is continued via the back pages.
