Daily Express – United we stand in winter fuel fight
The Daily Express has launched a campaign to keep winter fuel payments after MPs passed a cut to the allowance for 10 million pensioners.
The front page notes that even though the MPs passed the cut Starmer saw many of his MPs abstain from voting – which the paper calls a ‘revolt’.
Elsewhere, Harry Kane earned his 100th cap for England last night – and scoring twice makes the front page.
Labour votes to cut allowance as MPs shout ‘shame!’
MPs have voted by 348 to 228 in favour of Rachel Reeves’ plan to snatch Winter Fuel Payments of millions of hard-pressed pensioners this Christmas.
After the result was announced, opposition MPs were heard shouting “shame!” at Labour MPs who had backed the controversial policy.
The vote came after a high-tempered, and at some points furious, 90-minute debate, with opposition parties uniting to blast the Labour government’s policy.
The Tories, SNP, LibDems, Reform UK, Northern Ireland parties, the Greens and even some Labour MPs rose to object to the Government’s plan.
Had the vote passed, it would have been binding on the government and killed off the policy before Rachel Reeves even stands up to deliver her first budget next month.
Lee Carsley stamps authority with exciting England tweak as four stars fearful after win
Lee Carsley made it two wins from two as interim England manager with a comfortable triumph over Finland at Wembley Stadium.
Competing in the second tier of the Nations League following relegation from Group A, England are in a strong position to make an immediate return.
Harry Kane breached the Finnish backline midway through the first half, but the England skipper’s headed effort was quickly ruled out for offside.
Making his 100th appearance for the national side, Kane refused to be kept quiet all night, coming close once again with a drilled free-kick, before eventually snatching a goal just before the hour mark.

Editorial 11 September 2024.
Wednesday’s front pages feature a few leads with several papers focusing on the early release of prisoners in England and Wales. Many of those papers are traditionally right-leaning and see the early release as a ‘day of shame’ for the country and most feature images of men celebrating their release.
The Commons vote on cutting winter fuel payments is picked up by many other publications. The traditional left-leaning newspapers suggest the public move on from the fuel payments and instead focus on supporting the government in its plans to fix public services.
A few international stories make the broadsheet front pages as US President Joe Biden is reportedly weighing up whether Ukraine can use American long-range missiles in Russia.
