Wednesday’s front pages cover the news the UK government has announced an extra £75bn on defence spending over the next six years. The papers declare the UK is on a “war footing” after the announcement. 

Many of the papers cover the news that five migrants died in the Channel yesterday, including a young girl. The papers tie the tragedy to the Rwanda bill – with the right-leaning papers saying the Rwanda bill will deter these horrifying deaths. 

Away from the two main stories, there’s room for other domestic stories, with many of the tabloids marking Prince Louis’s sixth birthday.

Many of Tuesday’s front pages report on the government’s latest efforts to get its Rwanda asylum policy passed into law. 

Many of the right-leaning newspapers that back the current government celebrate the news that Parliament has passed the Rwanda bill following late-night sitting and months of wrangling. They claim that the policy will act as a deterrent and as soon as flights start to take off, migrants will stop attempting to cross the channel. 

Elsewhere, many of the papers leave room on the front pages to cover Huw Edwards – the former BBC presenter who has not been on air due to an alleged sex scandal. Yesterday he announced he has quit the BBC on “medical advice”. 

Away from domestic news, a couple of the papers leave room for front-page coverage of Donald Trump’s NYC case.
