The goings-on of Westminster once again feature heavily across the nation’s newspapers, with headlines on Labour leading the charge.
As the 100th day of the new Government fast approaches, the focus of the Financial Times, the Daily Mail, and The Independent are all the same: Tax hikes on the horizon.
While the Daily Express splashes on those already feeling the pinch after the Government cut the winter fuel payment for pensioners across the UK.
The Times leads on plans to drum up more funds to help boost Britain once again, with a headline that reads: “Workers bill set to help unions raise Labour cash.”
The i reports on some good news for carers under Labour’s flagship employment rights Bill: It is time for a pay rise.
On the topic of health, the Daily Telegraph reports that private hospitals across the UK will come to the rescue of the NHS.
Moving away from British politics, the Daily Mirror and The Sun instead focus on a royal update as the Princess of Wales appears to be very much on the mend.
Looking abroad, The Guardian leads on claims of intentional attacks by Israeli forces on UN peacekeepers in Lebanon, sparking fresh accusations of breaches of international law.
The Metro kept it simple, with a headline on Hurricane Milton that says: “Phew!”
And, lastly, the Daily Star splashes with a piece on Only Fools and Horses star David Jason, who has backed the newspaper’s campaign to preserve the classic British put-down.
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
