Several prominent UK newspapers have focused on the ongoing controversy surrounding Prince Andrew and his alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The Daily Mail’s front page highlights Labour women’s anger over what they call a “second paedophile crisis,” alongside critical coverage of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. The Mail reports Starmer faced sharp criticism in the House of Commons for granting a peerage to Matthew Doyle, his former communications chief, despite Doyle’s known friendship with a Labour councillor charged with child sex offences.
