Newspaper front pages report on the murder of Ann Widdecombe, Andy Burnham's budget plans, US strikes on Iran, and the impact of a recent heatwave.
Andy Burnham is "exploring holding an expanded Budget this autumn" to set out strategic priorities, reports the Financial Times. New strikes on Iran by the US "pose biggest test for interim deal", it headlines.
As part of Burnham's Budget, the Telegraph reports he has a "plan for £38bn tax raid". The paper leads with the latest in the murder of Ann Widdecombe, saying that the suspect "drove 300 miles to her house".
The Metro also leads with the Widdecombe murder, leading on police comments that the killing was "not political". It details that the suspect is a "28-year-old - described as a white British national".
The Times also carries Widdecombe's murder in its top slot, reporting the suspect carried a "foot-long stick" according to his neighbours. It also highlights that "immigration reforms could be scaled back" with up to 1.6 million migrants getting indefinite leave to remain after five years instead of ten.
On the front page of the i Paper is the comment from police that there was "no sign of political motive" in the murder. Now, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage wants more protection, it adds.
The Daily Express leads with tributes to the late politician. "Our sadness at losing 'one of a kind' Ann" reads the headline.
"Widdecombe speculation unhelpful, police warn" reads the Guardian's headline on the murder. In its top story, it reports that the June heatwave "killed 440 a day at its peak" according to an estimate by scientists.
The Daily Mail also recounts the details of the suspect in Widdecombe's murder, describing him as a "loner" who "left his house with a pole". The paper's Bryony Gordon has written about "why so many women like me have fallen for Jude Bellingham". Meanwhile, Prince George and Princess Charlotte are pictured in the royal box at Wimbledon.
The passage of a bill "to prevent cover-ups" in response to the Hillsborough Disaster will "finally pass after years of frustration". The paper leads with the words of one mother whose son died in the crowd crush: "I'm over the moon".
Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger leads the Daily Star along with the headline "3 Lions satisfaction". The paper says the singer "used to jinx us.. but it's all over now!"
