Newspaper headlines: Taliban 'revenge' and Labour's 'case for power' | Newspaper headlines: Taliban 'revenge' and Labour's 'case for power' |
(1 day later) | |
According to the Daily Mail, Taliban warlords are on "a vengeful killing spree", after the UK government mistakenly leaked a database containing the details of thousands of Afghans who had helped British forces. The paper claims there have been three assassinations in the past seven days, although it acknowledges that it's not known if the Taliban actually has the list. Government sources tell the Daily Telegraph that Afghans flown to Britain since the leak have brought with them eight family members each on average, and in one case, twenty-two. | |
The Times leads on the sanctions announced against Russian spies, saying the UK is "taking on" the Kremlin. The paper says the penalties will not have much effect given the targets are unlikely ever to travel to Britain. But officials explain to the Times the move is more than purely symbolic, because outing so many will make it hard for them to carry out criminal activities in the future. | |
The Daily Express leads on an article by the Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, which accuses Labour of mishandling the economy, and leaving a "toxic legacy". The paper's editorial says she's "bang on the money" and urges the chancellor not to freeze tax thresholds for another year in her autumn budget. The i Paper says Treasury sources have indicated that fuel duty is set to be frozen again to ease pressure on household budgets. | |
The Deputy Prime Minster, Angela Rayner, tells the Guardian that Labour MPs must talk more about what the government has achieved over the past 12 months. In an interview with the paper, she cites rising wages and falling NHS waiting lists as examples. This Labour government, Ms Rayner explains, is "not about short-termism on the back of a fag packet, but fundamental reforms to get Britain back on track". | |
The Financial Times highlights the value of the global crypto-currency market reaching $4tn (£3tn) for the first time. The paper says investors are reacting to the US Congress passing landmark legislation on digital assets. One analyst tells the FT that institutional funds have been waiting for exactly this type of clarity. | |
