Virtually every newspaper is leading a “Labour civil war” after Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham was blocked by the party’s ruling body from standing as a candidate in the upcoming parliamentary by-elections in Gorton and Denton. i Paper reports that the prime minister faces “condemnation from within his own party”, with a minister telling the publication the move makes Sir Keir Starmer look “cowardly”.

The headline on the front page of the Times reads:

“Labour MPs rebelled after Burnham was blocked,” says the Times, adding that the bloc is defying calls from senior figures in Sir Keir’s own party. According to the newspaper, Ed Miliband, Angela Rayner and Lucy Powell recommended that Burnham should be allowed to stand in the Gorton and Denton byelection, partly because of the “significant risk” Labor would lose the constituency to Reform UK. The combination of byelection defeat and local elections in May “could be fatal for Starmer”, the newspaper warns.

The headline on the front page of the Express reads:

The Express says Sir Keir is now facing “Labour’s biggest ever civil war”.

The headline on the front page of the Daily Telegraph reads: “Labour in revolt over Burnham 'seam'”.

The Telegraph took a similar approach, declaring Labor to be in “open rebellion”. The newspaper says a letter has been circulated on the backbenchers claiming the decision amounts to “a remote pricking of a small group of people at the top of London”.

The headline on the Mail's front page reads:

The Daily Mail leads a warning to the Prime Minister that his decision to block Burnham’s return has only “hastened his demise” and made him more likely to face a leadership challenge.

The headline on Metro's front page reads:

The Metro quotes Labor MP Karl Turner as saying there would be “a lot of bloodshed” as a result of the decision.

The headline on the front page of the Financial Times reads:

The Financial Times reported that reactions against Donald Trump increased after a second person was killed by federal agents in Minneapolis. The report quotes top Republicans who have publicly condemned the attack, such as Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, who said the president is “receiving bad advice right now.” Democrats threatened a second government shutdown in response, while former President Barack Obama declared the attack, which the newspaper called a “rare public intervention”, a “wake-up call for every American.”

The headline on the Guardian's front page reads:

The Guardian also repeats other headlines about Labour’s “civil war”. Elsewhere, the paper focuses on the lingering effects of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by an immigration officer in Minneapolis as pressure mounts on Donald Trump’s administration to fully investigate the killing.
