Friday’s front pages have no single lead with various topics splashed on the papers. Most lead on domestic topics – with politics and health the most popular but a few international stories – including the latest from Gaza do find space to make the front pages.

Elsewhere, celebrities and the arts are also featured.

The back pages are dominated by the latest from the Premier League and the Europa League.

Hector Daher, one of the leading figures in the workers’ unions, described the 24-hour strike as a message to President Javier Milei. Daher urged Milei to reconsider some of the reductions in subsidies and social programs.

Thursday’s front pages focus on the defection of MP Natalie Elphickle from Conservatives to Labour – with neither the left-leaning or right-leaning newspapers particularly happy about the situation. 

For the left-leaning newspapers, controversial figure Natalie Elphickle has ‘split the Labour Party’ with several of the papers unhappy that Sir Keir welcomed her into the party. Natalie Elphickle is known for far-right views and had previously defended her convicted sex offender former husband. For the right-leaning newspapers, her defection is a betrayal, especially given the timing, with a general election around the corner. 

Several of Thursday’s newspapers carry photos of King Charles and Prince Harry who were both at London events yesterday in the sunshine. Harry is back in the UK for a three-day charity event. 

Elsewhere, away from the main leads, the UK front pages cover a variety of domestic news. 

The back pages cover last night’s Champions League final as Real Madrid beat Bayern Munich 2-1 (4-3 agg), and the controversial late equaliser that was ruled out for Bayern. Real Madrid will meet Borussia Dortmund in London for the final. 

Wednesday’s front pages cover a variety of stories with no one story dominating the news cycle this morning. 

For some of the papers, the ongoing crisis in the Middle East leads the front pages, as Israel defies Western orders and invades Rafah – where more than 1 million people are sheltering. 

Some papers find space for the story that the Garrick Club has voted to allow women to join. Other domestic stories include pubs will be allowed to stay open later if England reach the semis of the upcoming Euros and the UK’s plans to keep children safe online. 

Many of Tuesday’s front pages cover the ongoing situation in the Middle East. The papers report on the ongoing ceasefire negotiations as Israel moves in on the Rafah crossing.

Talks are to resume in Cairo after Hamas said it would accept a deal drawn up by Egyptian mediators. It was however rejected by Israel as “far from meeting” its “core demands”.

The rest of the front pages cover a variety of domestic news and the back pages cover Manchester United’s 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace.
