Tuesday’s front pages are a mixed bag, with the highly-anticipated report into abuse complaints on the set of Strictly Come Dancing leading the charge, although Israel’s invasion into southern Lebanon has also taken the lead for some titles.
The Metro, The Sun, the Daily Mirror, and the Daily Express all lead on the results of the Strictly Come Dancing investigation, with the BBC upholding “some, but not all, of the complaints, made” by Amanda Abbington against Italian dancer Giovanni Pernice.
The Guardian, the Daily Mail, and the Financial Times look to Israel for a headline as the national military confirms a ground operation in southern Lebanon, with intense artillery shelling and air raids targeting towns and villages near the border overnight.
After the war on Gaza and the hours-old invasion of Lebanon, the Daily Telegraph leads on prime minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu’s warning to Iran: We are coming for you.
The Independent splashes on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who has ordered Cabinet Secretary Simon Case to stand down from the pinnacle role in Whitehall.
The i leads on the Post Office Scandal, with a new report finding there is “a reasonable likelihood” a second software “created shortfalls” for sub-postmasters before the well-known Horizon disgrace..
Migrants could be housed in hotels for up to three more years because of an asylum backlog in Britain, as per The Times.
Lastly, the Daily Star reckons the Matrix is real – and the Bible proves it – so only one question is left for readers: If you take the red pill, are you really prepared to see how deep the rabbit hole goes?
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
