Summary of The National Newspaper
The National front page this morning – summarised
The front page of the Scottish newspaper The National reports on the Conservative Party joining Reform UK on an anti-migrant attack.
- A SCOTTISH Tory motion “condemning” free bus travel for asylum seekers has been overwhelmingly rejected by MSPs.
The Conservatives had faced criticism from the SNP, Greens, Labour, and LibDems after tabling the controversial motion, which saw them accused of a “dog whistle attack on asylum seekers”.
The Tories’ condemnation of free bus travel for asylum seekers drew criticism from the First Minister and a joint intervention from the Scottish Catholic Church and the Church of Scotland.

Sara was failed: ‘It’s not human to do this’ – Paper Talk UK
Thursday’s headlines are dominated by the conviction of a father and stepmother who killed 10-year-old Sara Sharif. Police said Urfan Sharif, 43, and Beinash Batool, 30, had subjected Sara to “horrific suffering” before her body was found at the family’s home in Surrey last year.
As more details emerge about the life and death of the young British girl, the newspapers react with horror at the brutality Sara lived – and died – under. Many of the newspapers pick up on the state’s failure to save her, pointing the finger at the courts, police, social services and teachers, who reportedly missed at least 15 chances to save her life.
Several domestic political stories also find space on the front pages with reports on Labour’s plans to build new houses, potential strikes this winter and ongoing reactions to the October Budget.
The back pages cover last night’s Champions League action – including yet another loss for Manchester City and the news that Saudi Arabia has been confirmed as the 2030 World Cup hosts.
