‘Anger at Nato troop insult’ and ‘Trump delays Chagos surrender’
BBC
According to the Guardian and many of today’s newspapers, US President Donald Trump’s “insult” towards NATO troops comes first. British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer blasted the president’s comments that NATO troops were staying off the front lines in Afghanistan as “frankly appalling”. But the newspaper now writes that his comment “risks a further diplomatic rupture with the White House.”
The Daily Mirror is demanding an “apologize” apology from Trump for a headline in which he “insulted dead British heroes”. Both wounded veterans and Prince Harry call the president “hit.”
The Independent echoes the Mirror in its call for Starmer to apologize for Trump’s “appalling slander about our war dead”. The newspaper commemorates the personnel who died in the clashes with photographs of some of the 457 people.
The Daily Express has described Donald Trump as a “bloody cheek” after his comments on NATO. “Donald, there are 457 tragic reasons why you are so wrong,” he says, as the front is lined with a convoy of hearses carrying the coffins of British soldiers killed in Afghanistan.
“Now Trump delays Chago surrender,” reads the Daily Mail headline. The legislation, which will be debated in the House of Lords on Monday, envisages the transfer of the archipelago to Mauritius and the UK renting a military base for £101 million a year. But the debate was pulled “just days after the president criticized Britain for ‘an act of great stupidity,'” a move he said was “15th century.” He stated that it increased the “hope of a U-turn”.
The Daily Telegraph said British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was “forced” to withdraw the Chagos Islands bill following “US reaction to the deal”. Also in the spotlight is “Genetic testing for cancer coming to the NHS”.
The Sun has the latest on Brooklyn Beckham and his famous family. In an exclusive article, the newspaper notes that his wife, Nicola Peltz, told him “it’s me or her, you can’t have it both ways” after feeling “humiliated by her mother Victoria at their wedding.”
The author of the review of neets (young people not in education, employment or training) said young people with “normal” mental health conditions were being “erased”. Former Labor Cabinet Secretary Alan Milburn told the Times that Britain was facing a “lost generation” of 16-24 year olds as a result.
According to the Financial Times, the price of gold rose when “Trump’s Greenland hit the dollar.” Closer to home, “a handful of super-rich moguls”, including the Rothschild family, are buying up Britain’s “struggling” village pubs.
Daily Star hints at a big reveal for the Traitors season finale with “Claudia’s Traitors secret”. But instead he reveals the “television presenter’s behind-the-scenes tanning trick.”
A plot against Starmer and Streeting tops The i Paper, which reports that “key figures” in the Labor Party support Andy Burnham’s return to the House of Commons, as expectation grows that he will challenge the Prime Minister for the leadership. Those on the left of the party, he writes, fear “a Wes Streeting coronation”.
