Thursday’s front pages all lead on the announcement of a July 4 general election. Regardless of political leanings, all the papers note the snap election is a “gamble” on PM Rishi Sunak’s part.
The media, public and even Tory MPs were shocked by the announcement of a July 4 election. Many Tory MPs were hoping for a November election so the benefits of the improving economy could be felt in the pockets of the public.
The opinion polls still put the Conservatives far behind Labour and many struggle to see what the government’s plan is now.
It feels reckless, and like a government who’s already thrown in the towel and has accepted defeat. With the hopes the summer’s Euros might act as a distraction, perhaps if the Tories do lose power, it’ll be against a backdrop of a public enjoying themselves and not looking too hard at No 10.

Tuesday’s front pages mostly cover the findings from the inquiry into the contaminated blood scandal – the biggest treatment disaster in NHS history. The inquiry, chaired by Sir Brian Langstaff, is the largest public inquiry ever carried out in the UK. More than 30,000 people were infected with HIV and hepatitis C from 1970 to 1991 by contaminated blood products and transfusions. Yesterday, in the Commons, the prime minister – and leaders of the opposition – apologised. The PM promised comprehensive compensation for the victims of the blood scandal.
Elsewhere, the ICC’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu also features on many of the front pages. Israel and the US have widely rejected the move. The ICC has suggested war crimes and crimes against humanity – including using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare.
