Thursday’s UK newspapers focus on two major stories: the funeral of One Direction star Liam Payne, who passed away on October 16, and Ukraine’s use of British missiles against Russian targets, marking a significant escalation in the conflict. While some papers mourn Payne’s loss with heartfelt tributes, others highlight the implications of UK military cuts, criticizing the timing amidst global tensions and discussing the potential outcomes of these actions, including the impact of Donald Trump’s political future.
