The word “coward” features in many of Thursday’s papers, in reference to new laws designed to force criminals to attend sentencing hearings in England and Wales. The Daily Mail says the legislation will “finally” see “cowardly” and “spineless criminals who refuse to hear their fate in court… dragged into the dock”. There are images of four convicted killers – including the nurse Lucy Letby – who refused to attend their own hearings“We’ll see you in court, cowards” is how the Metro sums up the change in law, which will allow custody officers to use “reasonable force” to get criminals into the dock. The move follows fresh uproar after Letby stayed in her cell last week while a judge sentenced her to life in prison for murdering seven babies and attempting to kill six moreAn image of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak talking to the mother of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel, who was killed in a gangland shooting last year and whose killer refused to attend his sentencing hearing, is at the centre of the Times. Elsewhere there is a report about Tory MP Nadhim Zahawi, who is said to be “acting as a middleman between the UAE and the Barclay family” as it tries to win back control of the Daily Telegraph. A potential job as the group’s chairman is at stake, the paper claimsThe Daily Mirror describes the new laws in England and Wales as a “victory for victims’ families” – and notes the change follows a campaign run by Cheryl Korbel, the mother of murdered nine-year-old Olivia. “I hope she’s proud of what we’ve done,” Korbel tells the paperUsing that same word, the Daily Express says “cowardly criminals will be forced into the docks” from as early as autumn, noting that is when Mr Sunak said the legislation could come into force. A large image of Prince Harry also appears on the front page, with the accompanying report focused on his new Netflix series Heart of InvictusThe Sun dedicates its entire front page to the youngest son of King Charles, responding to claims he makes in the new TV series about the media ignoring British troops wounded in Afghanistan. “We did care Harry and we still do,” the paper tells the royal, alongside images of previous editions where its front page focused on British soldiers.Still related to Letby but on a slightly different note, the Guardian focuses on the news that the inquiry into how the nurse was able to murder seven babies will now have greater powers to compel witnesses to give evidence. Lawyers for the victims’ families believe former and current staff of the Countess of Chester Hospital Trust, where Letby worked, should be “forced to appear”, the paper reportsThe i leads with an exclusive about taxes, which Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has reportedly told Treasury officials he will not cut in his Autumn Statement. Some Conservative MPs will be “dismayed” with the decision, the paper adds, but Mr Hunt “still hopes to reduce the tax burden” before the next general electionAn image of Jenni Hermoso, the Spanish footballer at the centre of a sexism row after she was kissed on the lips by Spain’s Football Federation (RFEF) president Luis Rubiales, is the focus of Thursday’s Daily Telegraph. “World Cup winner laughed about controversial kiss,” the paper says, claiming Hermoso was “caught on video sharing social media jokes about the incident”. The Telegraph’s main story is about the number of NHS patients dying while waiting for treatment, which it says has doubled in five yearsResponding to its own front page from Wednesday, the Daily Star says a so-called “boffiness” disagrees with “boffins who claim booze doesn’t make us better looking”. The experts on either side of the “mega-important alcohol research” are at “war”, the paper playfully reports
New laws to force offenders to appear in court for sentencing are the lead story for several of the papers. “At last” is the headline in the Daily Mail, next to photos of four convicted murderers who all refused to attend their hearings – including nurse Lucy Letby and the killer of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel, Thomas Cashman. The Daily Express says the change will compel “spineless criminals” to face their victims’ families in court. For the Daily Mirror it is a “victory”. “We’ll see you in court, cowards” is the headline in the Metro.
The Times reports on new powers to sack rogue police officers on the spot, under “zero tolerance” reforms of the disciplinary process. Policing Minister Chris Philp tells the paper that the measures will help restore public confidence in the police – and make sure rogue officers have “nowhere to hide”. The paper says the changes “represent a victory” for Sir Mark Rowley, who pledged to overhaul standards when he took over as commissioner of the Metropolitan force last year.
The Daily Telegraph says there has been a sharp rise in the number of patients who have died while waiting for treatment on the NHS. A new analysis of waiting list figures suggests deaths have doubled over the past five years to around 120,000. According to the paper, the total is higher than it was in lockdown and is likely to keep rising.
Killers Jordan McSweeney, Lucy Letby and Thomas Cashman all refused to appear in court for sentencing
Elsewhere in the Telegraph, new US fighter jets, capable of carrying nuclear weapons, will be based in the UK by the end of the year. The paper understands that two squadrons of F-35s will arrive at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk “imminently”.
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly’s visit to China is debated on a number of comment pages. The Times says it was inevitable that the trip would “raise hackles at home” – especially on the right of the Conservative Party. But it suggests breaking off relations with Beijing – while China is still the UK’s fourth largest trading partner – would not be in our “best interests”. The Financial Times agrees. It argues that the UK has to balance commerce with security and human rights – and the government should “make no apology” for engaging with China or discussing trade.
A refugee charity has told the Guardian that the government is playing “Russian Roulette” with the lives of hundreds of asylum seekers who could soon be housed on the Bibby Stockholm barge at Portland in Dorset. A water company is carrying out plumbing work onboard, but the paper claims that the Home Office plans to move migrants back before “urgent repairs” are completed. Ministers insist the work is “routine” and is not linked to the traces of the legionella bacteria found in the water supply earlier this month.
And the Sun interviews a rugby referee on how he’s preparing for the new season – at the age of 87. Nando Di Matteo has been refereeing for 40 years and still officiates at up to four matches a week in Northamptonshire – running up and down the pitch for the full 80 minutes. Asked how he does it, Mr Di Matteo tells the paper: “bananas and a pint of Guinness”.
