DAILY EXPRESS Daily Express front page headline: "Hundreds feared dead in quake horror". It features a picture of people reacting in front of a high-rise block as it collapses in Bangkok — The death toll from the earthquake which hit Myanmar and Thailand on Friday could be in the hundreds, with the Daily Express reporting the 7.7 magnitude quake caused tremors as far away as India and China. Thailand’s capital Bangkok has been declared an emergency zone.

The striking photo of a skyscraper’s collapse at a work site in Bangkok features on a few front pages this morning, including the Daily Star’s. Their report warns the death toll could be much, much higher- in the tens of thousands of victims.

DAILY STAR Daily Star front page headline reads: "Hell on Earth" in front of a composition of pictures of the quake's impact. It shows a collapsing high-rise tower in Bangkok, the concrete detritus and workers running from huge clouds of dust. — The striking photo of a skyscraper’s collapse at a work site in Bangkok features on a few front pages this morning, including the Daily Star’s. Their report warns the death toll could be much, much higher- in the tens of thousands of victims.

While The Times features the quake photo, its main story is about police being sent to arrest a couple – one of whom is a Times journalist – after they complained about their kids’ school. Police detained the pair in a cell for eight hours and questioned them for harassment for sending emails to the school leadership and being critical in a WhatsApp group. The article quotes freedom of speech advocates and the couple saying they never used threatening language.

The i Paper leads on its own poll suggesting that following the welfare cuts announced this week, Rachel Reeves is less popular than the PM. The polling indicates half of the public oppose the measures – a level nearly as high as the 55% critical of Liz Truss’s “mini budget” in 2022. Some 41% are said to believe the policies will leave their household worse off, but there is narrowly more support from voters for public spending cuts compared with future tax hikes.
