Tuesday’s front pages are a mixed bag, with the highly-anticipated report into abuse complaints on the set of Strictly Come Dancing leading the charge, although Israel’s invasion into southern Lebanon has also taken the lead for some titles.
The Metro, The Sun, the Daily Mirror, and the Daily Express all lead on the results of the Strictly Come Dancing investigation, with the BBC upholding “some, but not all, of the complaints, made” by Amanda Abbington against Italian dancer Giovanni Pernice.
The Guardian, the Daily Mail, and the Financial Times look to Israel for a headline as the national military confirms a ground operation in southern Lebanon, with intense artillery shelling and air raids targeting towns and villages near the border overnight.
After the war on Gaza and the hours-old invasion of Lebanon, the Daily Telegraph leads on prime minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu’s warning to Iran: We are coming for you.
The Independent splashes on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who has ordered Cabinet Secretary Simon Case to stand down from the pinnacle role in Whitehall.
The i leads on the Post Office Scandal, with a new report finding there is “a reasonable likelihood” a second software “created shortfalls” for sub-postmasters before the well-known Horizon disgrace..
Migrants could be housed in hotels for up to three more years because of an asylum backlog in Britain, as per The Times.
Lastly, the Daily Star reckons the Matrix is real – and the Bible proves it – so only one question is left for readers: If you take the red pill, are you really prepared to see how deep the rabbit hole goes?
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
