The Lionesses’ victory lap after a triumphant European Championship win dominates Tuesday’s papers. “The Lion Ladies” declares the Sun, as it fills its front page with a “strong and victorious” photograph of the team’s visit to Downing Street.
The Metro leads with the team being greeted by “jubilant fans” after they arrived back in the UK, accompanied by a photograph of Leah Williamson hoisting the Euro trophy as the crown “came home again”.
“Welcome home!” says the i Paper as it teases the Lionesses’ victory parade through London on Tuesday. Also leading is Donald Trump’s comments on the scenes of “real starvation” in Gaza, saying “you can’t fake that” after seeing images of desperate Palestinians on TV. The paper reports that the UDS president is pushing for a new ceasefire and says he will set up “food centres” without fences in Gaza.
The Guardian praises the Lionesses as “selfless, defiant and hard-working” champions, spotlighting a beaming photograph of the team in front of Downing Street. In its Gaza coverage, the paper reports that Trump has told Israel to allow “every ounce of food” into the region.
A “Downing Street dance of joy” headlines the Daily Telegraph as it splashes its front page with a photograph of England’s Lucy Bronze and Chloe Kelly enjoying their special reception at Number 10 on Monday. Alongside, the paper reports that Trump told the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, that he should “cut taxes and stamp out illegal immigration” to beat Reform UK leader Nigel Farage.
The Daily Express follows with their own coverage of Trump’s “pretty simple” advice for the prime minister. The paper says the US president also told Sir Keir to protect farmers and cut crime if he was to have a chance of beating Farage.
“It ain’t rocket science” is how the Daily Mail sums up Trump’s message to Sir Keir for defeating the Reform leader. Sharing the top spot, the Lionesses “roaring into Downing Street” is captured in an image of Captain Leah Williamson carrying the Euros trophy.
The “next goal for Lionesses is more honours” is front and centre on the Times. The paper says pressure is growing to recognise more of the team’s star players in the next honours list. The Times also reports that the NHS has accused the British Medical Association of “risking patient safety” by refusing requests for striking doctors to return to work.
The Mirror spotlights honorary graduation ceremonies held for Nottingham attack victims Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar. The paper features a “courageous” Charlie Webber who collected his brother’s honorary degree from Nottingham University as their parents urged graduates to “raise a glass to Barnaby”.
Germany and France are warning that the EU’s new trade deal with the US could hurt the European economy, the Financial Times reports. The paper says the agreement has caused “jitters in Paris in Berlin” as the euro saw a “big drop” against the dollar. Elsewhere, Trump’s meeting with Sir Keir in Scotland is also prominent, with both leaders agreeing to “work together to bring an end to the misery and starvation” in Gaza.
Finally, the Daily Star echoes calls to give coach Sarina Wiegman and the England team their “gongs”. The paper says it wants Wiegman to be made a “beautiful Dame” and for the team mascot Reggie to “get a juicy bone”.
