‘Starmer the charmer’ – The historic White House summit 

Politics

PM Sir Keir Starmer’s meeting with Donald Trump dominates much of the UK’s news this Friday. The British Prime Minister met with the US president in what much of the media is dubbing a ‘White House summit’. To almost everyone’s surprise, the meeting appeared to go well, with a UK-US trade deal expected soon, the president backing the prime minister’s Chagos deal, and the president effectively ruling out a US backstop for Ukraine.

Trump-Starmer meeting on Thursday – Liverpool victory sends Reds 13 points clear – Lionesses beat Spain at Wembley – Paper Talk

News Briefing

Most of Thursday’s front pages lead on the prime minister’s upcoming trip to Washington where he is set to double down on his declaration that negotiations over Ukraine should involve Ukraine. He will also tell the president of the US that Russia will strike Ukraine again unless the US provides ongoing security support.

The back pages are dominated by last night’s Premier League action as Liverpool go 13 points clear at the top of the table, Manchester United fought back to beat Ipswich, Manchester City beat Spurs 1-0 and Arsenal’s stalemate seems them at risk of slipping out the top four. The Lionesses beat Spain 1-0 at Wembley in last night’s Nations League.
