'Trump pulls support for Chagos' and 'Britain faces '1936 moment''

The Mail and the Telegraph both report that retired heads of the Army and Navy, and a former MI6 boss, have written an open letter claiming the Prime Minister is not being honest with the public over defence spending.

The Telegraph says the signatories have warned that instead of receiving more money, through Labour's planned increase in defence spending, the Ministry of Defence is facing cuts because of funding pressures such as pay rises for servicemen.

The Mail says those who signed the letter have insisted that the nation is unprepared for conflict with Russia and suggested Britain faces a "1936 moment", a reference to the threat posed by Nazi Germany before the second world war.

A spokesperson for the government tells the paper that it is "on track" to meet the Prime Minister's target of spending 5 per cent of GDP on defence and security by 2035.

President Trump's change of stance on Sir Keir Starmer's deal to hand the Chagos Islands to Mauritius is the main story for the Times and the Telegraph.

The Times quotes the President's press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who said that Mr Trump's online post yesterday, denouncing the move, should be taken as the "policy" of the Trump administration, not the declaration of support which came the day before.

The Telegraph says it remains unclear whether the President's latest stance will lead to the cancellation of the deal, but recalls that ministers have previously said it couldn't go ahead without US support.

The Prime Minister's proposal to give tech firms 48 hours to remove "revenge porn" and deepfake nudes from the internet, or risk being fined or blocked in the UK, is the lead in the Guardian.

The paper quotes Sir Keir Starmer as saying that the burden of tackling abuse must "no longer fall on victims, but on perpetrators and the companies that enable harm".

And the Sun reports that ministers have agreed that pubs will be allowed to stay open until 01:00 or 02:00 in the morning during any home nations' matches beyond the group stages in the men's football World Cup this summer.

England and Scotland have already qualified for the tournament. "Swig when you're winning", the paper's headline declares.
