Political coverage and commentary takes up most of the front pages. The BBC, along with other broadcasters, is not allowed to report details of campaigning while the polls are open.

The Daily Mirror declares “Trump deal is a sellout”, and says that in his peace agreement with Iran the US president has “conceded everything, achieved nothing and given away leverage”.

According to the Financial Times, critics are asking whether the agreement is worth four months of war, billions of dollars in cost, the depletion of US weapons stocks and friction with allies.

The Times says there is likely to be anger among some US Republicans – saying that Donald Trump is facing a “reckoning”.

Elsewhere, the Daily Telegraph says just 100 criminals were responsible for more than 4000 shop thefts in London in the past two years. The figures come from a letter sent to the home secretary by the Metropolitan Police and the British Retail Consortium – which are calling for quicker sentencing and tougher penalties. There is no response yet from the Home Office.

Anonymous BBC staff tell the i Paper of their frustration with the corporation’s latest cuts, as part of its plans to save £500m. One employee says they are “devastated”, and questions how high-quality journalism can be produced when “funding is being gutted”.

A BBC source is quoted as saying that the “tough decisions” mean that budgets are protected for the output with the biggest audiences.

Many of the front pages are covered with photos of a jubilant England squad celebrating their win against Croatia.

The Telegraph says “England’s entertainers” started their World Cup campaign “with a bang”.

The Sun focuses more on “hero” Harry Kane during what it calls an “epic clash”. Its headline is: “Texas Kane score massacre”.

The Daily Star opts for: “Dallas wow boys”.
