Most of Tuesday’s front pages lead on the knife attack on children at a holiday club in Southport. Two children have died and nine injured after a knifeman entered a dance class and started the attack. A 17-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of murder. It’s not yet known what the motive is but it’s not believed to be terror-related. 

Chancellor Reeves’s cuts and tax plans to plug the £20bn black hole in the public finances also make many of the newspapers.

Former BBC presenter Huw Edwards is pictured on most of the front pages after it was announced he has been arrested for making indecent images of children. 

There is also plenty of Olympics coverage as Team GB had a spectacular Monday – bagging their first gold medals.

Thursday’s front pages offer a variety of headlines, mostly domestic stories, with no single lead story dominating the front splashes. Several papers report on the stabbing of a soldier in Gillingham in Kent, while the ongoing bullying scandal on the popular TV series Strictly Come Dancing continues to be heavily covered by the tabloids.

The back pages report Ben White is considering playing for England again now Gareth Southgate and Steve Holland have departed. Olympics 2024 is also covered on the back – with Morocco’s win over Argentina a popular story.

Wednesday’s front pages offer a welcome break from the dominant stories over the past few weeks, as politics slips off many front pages, leaving room for other domestic topics and some showbiz gossip. 

The BBC’s apology regarding the Strictly Come Dancing scandal is a prominent story for many of the tabloids, amid whispers the popular reality TV show could face the axe.

Football dominates the back pages, including the latest transfer reports and gossip.

Tuesday’s front pages, for the second day, are heavily dominated by US politics. Many broadsheets turn their focus to Vice President Kamala Harris as millions of dollars in donations to the Democrats have started to pour in, and Democratic heavyweights throw their support behind the VP. 

The UK tabloids are less focused on US politics and look a little closer to home with various domestic stories featured as the leads. 

The back pages are focused on Premier League gossip and the upcoming Paris Olympics.
