US President Donald Trump's officials show no sign of halting the "bruising tariffs" on imports from around the world and are rejecting "fears of a looming recession," the Financial Times reports.
The i Paper leads with the easing of a ban on manufacturing petrol cars, described as an effort to "shield" the UK from a trade war and boost the automobile industry. The paper says the government expects to move towards a "more interventionist state" to work directly with businesses to compensate for the "damage done" by the new US tariffs.
The Times says it will be "cheaper and easier" to own an electric car, as Sir Keir warns Trump's tariffs are "not a phase". Also on the front is a report on young British Muslims "growing more disillusioned and isolated" due to the ongoing siege on Gaza from Israel.
Taking a broader view on the petrol car story, the Guardian declares Labour will "support key industries" to shelter vulnerable sectors from the 10% US export levy. In addition to the car companies, life science industries are expected to be among those receiving extra support. Elsewhere, Israel's military "razed" Gaza to create a kill zone, the paper reports, quoting Israeli soldiers.
Headlining on what it calls the NHS's "radical" plan to tackle the "health crisis," the Daily Telegraph reports medics will be sent door-to-door in a new scheme greenlit by the health secretary. There's also room for a picture of Lesley Manville and John Lithgow with their best actress and actor gongs at the Olivier awards, and Sir Keir Starmer.
The Metro leads on Elon Musk "undermining" Donald Trump's tariff order, just days after the president unveiled the plan. The tech billionare "advised against" Trump's 20% tax on European imports and 10% on UK goods, the paper says. The front is illustrated with Trump prodding a finger at Musk.
Family doctors overwhelmingly support the NHS's prostate screening programme, according to the Daily Mail's splash. Referencing its own campaign the paper says 94% of GP's surveyed in a poll think the government should roll out standard prostate checks for high-risk men.
And the Sun says the planes of Britain's Red Arrows aerial display team may be traded in for Russian-designed M-346's, sparking "RAF fury". Nodding to the ongoing tariffs reaction, Sir Keir will be boosting the "white van man" by allowing drivers to buy petrol and diesel vehicles for another five years, the paper says.
