Wednesday’s front pages continue their coverage of the ongoing riots across towns and cities in England and Northern Ireland. Police are preparing for another day of disorder on Wednesday after an online list of places to target – hotels housing immigrants and immigration centres – leaked online. Extra police have been deployed to protect the country following the destruction of businesses, buildings, and cars as well as looting from the rioters.

Many of the newspapers also report on those arrested suggesting ‘judgement day is here’. The front pages say the rioters are starting to face court now and could be charged with domestic terrorism.

The front pages also feature pictures of the latest action from Paris 2024 – with Team GB’s medal success dominant. The back pages continue the coverage.

Several of the papers cover the backlash facing American billionaire Elon Musk for his ‘reckless’ comments claiming that a civil war was ‘inevitable’ in the UK – even though it’s a small minority of far-right thugs and the majority of violence, racism and looting from them has been widely condemned across the political spectrum and the nation. Musk is among several online celebrities that have been accused of whipping up fear. 

The back pages continue the Paris 2024 coverage.
