‘Slovak PM shot’ & ‘Starmer’s six fixes for Britain’ – Paper Talk 

News Briefing

Most of Thursday’s front pages lead on domestic news, with political stories the most popular. Several front pages look ahead to the upcoming general election as Labour’s Keir Starmer sets out his plans to govern the country if his party is elected to office.

Elsewhere, many of the front pages leave space to report on the shooting of Slovakia’s prime minister. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was shot by a 71-year-old man in what has been described as a politically motivated attack. The PM is fighting for his life according to many of the papers – though a recent update suggests he is now in a critical but stable condition and is expected to pull through.

Most of the back pages lead on Man Utd’s 3-2 win over Newcastle in the latest Premier League match. There are also reports on Premier League plans to hold a vote on whether to scrap the controversial VAR.

King Charles new portrait & City go top of Premier League table – Paper Talk 

News Briefing

Wednesday’s front pages report on a variety of international and domestic topics, but most of the papers feature an image of the newly unveiled portrait of King Charles. 

Several of the papers report UK education as new government guidelines are set to be unveiled this week.  But other than that and King Charles, there’s not much else to unite the front pages. 

Yesterday’s Premier League action dominates the back pages – and some space on the front pages as well, as Man City go top of the table, with only a game left to clinch a four straight Premier League title.
