Newspaper headlines: Migrants arrive at 'record speed' and 'Fresh inheritance tax grab' Newspaper headlines: Migrants arrive at 'record speed' and 'Fresh inheritance tax grab'
(about 16 hours later)
The migrant crisis dominates the papers on Wednesday, with the Times leading with the headline "Channel boat migrants arriving at record speed". More than 50,000 migrants have crossed the Channel under Sir Keir Starmer's leadership, which the paper says is "the fastest the milestone has been reached under any prime minister".
The Guardian's headline reads "Treasury targets inheritance tax rises", reporting that a "clampdown on gifting money and assets" is under consideration for the forthcoming budget. Sources told the paper that officials have been tasked with examining whether a change to inheritance tax could help close the reported £40bn gap between revenue and spending.
"Migrants flood into Britain" says The Telegraph, paired with a photograph of migrants racing into the sea to board small boats off the coast of Gravelines, France. The headline story is also on inheritance tax, with the paper reporting that the amount of money raised from the tax has more than doubled over the past decade.
"It's not our fault!" declares the Mail's headline, leading on comments from Baroness Smith of Malvern, a former Labour home secretary, after she said "what is happening is the result of the last government". The image of migrants sprinting into the channel is front and centre of the paper, with the caption "Dawn dash".
The Financial Times says migrants arriving by boat will "add to stresses" for local councils, which will have a duty to house the homeless amid a severe shortage of social homes. The paper also reports that weapons factories in the EU are expanding at three times their rate before the Ukraine war, which they write "represents rearmament on a historic scale".
A record eight million people are now receiving universal credit, according to the Express. The paper reports that the number of benefit claimants who are not obliged to look for work has "shot up by a million under Labour".
The i Paper is leading with a clampdown on artificial stone imports to the UK, writing that the incoming restrictions have come off the back of their own investigation into rising cases of silicosis among young workers.
"Bungling hitwoman in niqab faces life" reads the front page of the Metro, after US woman Aimee Betro was found guilty of attempting to shoot a man dead in the UK. Betro will be sentenced on 21 August.
The Sun's headline reads "Taunts of the TikTok migrant", reporting that a man has "boasted on TikTok" of crossing the Channel by dinghy and has "racked up a million views" detailing his journey from an asylum hotel near Heathrow.
The Star has pictured Match of the Day's new "hat-trick of hosts" of the front page, with the paper saying the new show will "focus strictly on footie".
"Dry alert" warns the Mirror, reporting that drought conditions could last until the middle of October.
The papers have reflected on the news that more than 50,000 migrants have come to the UK on small boats since Sir Keir Starmer came to power as prime minister. The Times says they are arriving at "record speed". The Daily Mail tells its readers Baroness Smith of Malvern, a former Labour home secretary, had the "brass neck" to blame the previous Conservative government for the high figure. Both papers, as well as the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph, have illustrated the story with photos of migrants in France rushing into the sea to try to board a boat to the UK.The papers have reflected on the news that more than 50,000 migrants have come to the UK on small boats since Sir Keir Starmer came to power as prime minister.

The Sun features what it calls a TikTok migrant who, it says, has racked up a million views documenting his journey across the Channel and subsequent stay in a UK hotel. TikTok has told the paper it has a zero-tolerance approach to content that promotes people-smuggling, while the Home Office says such behaviour is unacceptable. The Financial Times focuses on concerns from charities of a potential surge in homelessness, if people are told to leave government-rented hotels as part of efforts to clear the asylum application backlog. Ministers say they will continue to work with local councils and other organisations to provide support to those granted refugee status.The Sun features what it calls a TikTok migrant who, it says, has racked up a million views documenting his journey across the Channel and subsequent stay in a UK hotel.

Sources have told the Guardian that the Treasury is looking to raise money from inheritance tax by tightening rules on the gifting of money and assets before death. The shadow chancellor, Sir Mel Stride, is quoted in the Daily Telegraph saying those who have worked hard and want to pass on something to their loved ones should not be punished. The Treasury says it is committed to keeping taxes for working people as low as possible.Sources have told the Guardian that the Treasury is looking to raise money from inheritance tax by tightening rules on the gifting of money and assets before death.

The Daily Express reports on the revelation that a record eight million people are now on universal credit, after the figure increased by a million under Labour. The Taxpayers Alliance has told the paper the rise in claimants is "astonishing", and warns that Britain is accelerating towards what it calls the "fiscal cliff edge of broken finances". The government says it inherited a "spiralling, unsustainable benefits bill" from the Conservatives.The Daily Express reports on the revelation that a record eight million people are now on universal credit, after the figure increased by a million under Labour.
