Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s “gutted” welfare bill has prevented a “full-scale Labour rebellion” but left “a multibillion hole in the public finances”, writes the FT. The PM “authorised a last minute climbdown” as “fears of imminent defeat” swirled. A photo of US President Donald Trump in a red cap that reads “Gulf of America” tops the paper as his “big, beautiful” tax-and-spend bill “moves a step closer after slim Senate victory”. Also on the front page, Swiss voters “face a Brexit-like dilemma”.

BBC "Starmer guts welfare reform to avert defeat in Commons" reads the front page of the Financial Times. — Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s “gutted” welfare bill has prevented a “full-scale Labour rebellion” but left “a multibillion hole in the public finances”, writes the FT. The PM “authorised a last minute climbdown” as “fears of imminent defeat” swirled. A photo of US President Donald Trump in a red cap that reads “Gulf of America” tops the paper as his “big, beautiful” tax-and-spend bill “moves a step closer after slim Senate victory”. Also on the front page, Swiss voters “face a Brexit-like dilemma”.

The i Paper also headlines on the “last minute climbdown” over the welfare bill writing, “Labour rebels force Starmer to retreat on benefit cuts again.” Those who opposed him are now “emboldened” and “likely to keep challenging PM and [Chancellor Rachel] Reeves”. There is a “Yimby town” that wants the UK’s “first nuclear power plant in three decades” and “anger at BBC boss [Tim Davie] over Glastonbury” after the corporation live-streamed a chant of “death, death to the IDF” from an act at the festival. The BBC has said “the antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves”. It added that it would review guidance around live events after featuring a warning on screen at the time of the chants. The performance will not be available on iPlayer.

Sir Keir’s benefits bill “turns to farce” writes The Daily Telegraph, citing a government minister who called the changes “shambolic”. Tim Davie is “fighting for job after Glastonbury hate chants”, the Telegraph suggests. It also writes that three hospital bosses have been arrested for gross negligence manslaughter in connection with the Lucy Letby case. A large picture of actress Cate Blanchett with Wimbledon’s Centre Court reflected in her sunglasses is splashed across the paper.
