Several papers lead with the arrest of Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old man suspected of fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah. Robinson was arrested after his “anguished dad” helped turn him in, the Daily Mirror reports. Robinson, who a neighbour says came from a “good God-fearing family”, could face the death penalty if found guilty.
Tyler Robinson’s arrest also leads the Daily Mail, which reports on engravings found on a rifle believed to have been used in the shooting, including: “Hey, fascist, catch!” US President Donald Trump says Kirk’s killer “deserves” the death penalty, the paper also reports.
Tyler Robinson was turned in by his “cop dad” after his son “confessed” to him, the Daily Star reports.
The Daily Telegraph also features Tyler Robinson’s arrest on its front page, but the paper leads with Labour sources saying that Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is “laying the groundwork” for a leadership bid. It comes as “speculation mounts” about the prime minister’s future, the paper reports.
Time is running out for Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to “repair his faltering premiership”, leads the Guardian. The paper reports that a challenge to Sir Keir’s leadership was likely if Labour perform poorly in local elections next May. “The clock is ticking,” said one unnamed MP.
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch describes Sir Keir’s government as one of “scandal and crisis” in the lead for the Daily Express. Badenoch warns that the prime minister is “too distracted” to deal with economic turmoil and threats posed by Russia to the UK.
Downing Street “was told” about Lord Mandelson’s emails with the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein two days before Starmer removed him as ambassador to the US, the Times reports. The revelation “will fuel criticism of Downing Street’s handling of the scandal”, the paper reports, and leaves London without an ambassador in Washington just days before Trump makes a state visit to the UK.
Despite Trump’s state visit to the UK being “overshadowed” by Lord Mandelson’s sacking, the US and UK are still “rushing” to finalise deals on nuclear reactors, AI data centres and whisky, according to the Financial Times. OpenAI is set to announce a British arm to its $500bn Stargate data centre during Trump’s visit, when he will be accompanied by OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang.
Lord Alli, a Labour “super-donor”, evicted a family from a house before hiking the rent by £1,000 a month, according to the i Paper. His actions would be outlawed next year under his own party’s Renters’ Rights Bill, the paper reports. The evicted father, a Labour voter, says: “The hypocrisy just feels like too much”.
