The Daily Telegraph leads with the BBC’s Election debate – the paper says the two main party leaders clashed over immigration, welfare and taxes in the final television debate before the country heads to the polls next month.
Sticking with the fiery TV debate from Nottingham, the Daily Mail examines Rishi Sunak’s attack on Labour’s immigration and tax plans. “You’re Taking People for Fools” is its headline, quoting Mr Sunak’s accusation about the way Sir Keir Starmer would deal with illegal migration.
The issue is key for the Daily Express too which argues the Labour leader “failed” nine times to say what he would do with migrants arriving on British shores.
For the Times, Mr Sunak was in “barnstorming mood” as he tried to “ram home” his claim Labour would raise taxes. It says the prime minister and the Labour leader launched “highly negative attacks” on each other in a bad-tempered debate.
The Guardian calls the debate tetchy, and says the two leaders clashed “bitterly” particularly over their response to the political betting scandal. The paper says the Labour leader launched a “fierce attack” on the culture at the top of Conservative Party and – in Sir Keir’s words – its “wrong instinct” to place bets on the future of the country.
Away from the debate, the Daily Star interviews an England fan who was pictured in Cologne fast asleep while watching the Three Lions being held to a 0-0 draw with Slovenia on Tuesday night.
According to the Financial Times, Rassemblement National party chief Jordan Bardella has pledged to fight a “cultural battle” against Islamism and secure an EU budget rebate even as he promised “a lot of pragmatism” on the economy if his party wins snap elections.
