'Reform civil war' and 'arise Sir Becks'

"David finally gets a knighthood... and Posh to be a Lady" writes The Sun in an exclusive, heralding the footballer's supposed new title "Sir Becks". It reports he will get the "gong next week" in the Birthday Honours List of King Charles III. The BBC has not verified the report.

It's "civil war" for Reform UK as the party's chair Zia Yusuf quits the party, writes the Daily Telegraph. Reform leader Nigel Farage was given "just a 10-minute warning" before Yusuf posted his resignation on X after he called a question by the party's MPs over banning burkas "dumb". A "bitter slanging match" between Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump also makes the front page after the tech billionaire wrote "without me, Trump would have lost the election".

The FT also leads with Yusuf's resignation, with the former Reform chair saying he didn't think the position was a "good use of my time". Nigel Farage has called him "enormously talented" and said he was "genuinely sorry" he had stepped down. On the world stage, "Trump and Xi dial down rhetoric and agree to new round of trade talks".

Labour has banned the bosses of 10 water companies from receiving bonuses "with immediate effect" over "serious sewage pollution" reports The Guardian. In the past decade, they have been paid £112m in bonuses. Last year, sewage pollution "rose to a record 2,487 events", according to the paper. "Bosses should only get bonuses if they've performed well" the paper quotes Environment Secretary Steven Reed.

The Times covers Musk and Trump's disagreement too, highlighting the X founder's comment that the president had appeared "in the Epstein files" as a barb that "signals war". Trump was named in one document released by a judge last year regarding a connection with the disgraced financier - but this carries no inference of wrongdoing. The BBC has contacted the White House for comment on the allegations. Also on the front page an image of four Chelsea pensioners doffing their hats atop mobility scooters.

The i Paper's front page is mostly taken up by the news of the UK water bosses "finally" receiving a bonus ban "amid public anger at sewage scandal". The paper draws attention to how it had "campaigned for tougher powers to restrict such payments".

"Russia blames UK for drone attack on jets" and "says it could lead to World War Three" reads the top headline of the Daily Mail. Kremlin ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin said the UK military's tech had helped Ukraine hit the targets inside Russia, the tabloid reports. It also picks up Trump and Musk's argument calling it a "war of words".

The Daily Mirror headlines on a promise by Health Secretary Wes Streeting to "end corridor care", as he says £450m will go towards tackling the issue. The Mirror also runs the story of the race attack on Bhim Kohli on its front page that resulted in his death as his teen attackers have now received their sentences. "They can rebuild their lives, we can't" writes the paper, describing the "anguish" of Kohli's family.

A veteran standing by two tombstones appears on the front page of the Daily Express as "our last D-Day heroes remember fallen friends 81 years on". "Never forget their sacrifice", the paper writes.

For the Daily Star, it's "blast orders" as it writes "most of us say we're off down the pub if there's a nuclear war".

Several front pages feature the feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the resignation of the Reform UK chairman, Zia Yusuf.

The Times, The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail say a war of words has erupted between the US president and the his former ally, after Mr Musk claimed that Mr Trump was mentioned in classified government documents on the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The Guardian describes the clash as a "bizarre drama."

The Telegraph says a row about banning the burka has ignited a civil war within Reform UK. The paper says Zia Yusuf gave Nigel Farage just a 10-minute warning before announcing his resignation.

The head of the Council of Europe has told The Times that the Convention on Human Rights must be reformed in the face a growing political backlash against migration. The paper says the comment is an invitation to Britain, and other critics of the Convention, to begin talks about changes.

And The Daily Mail says Russia's ambassador to the UK has claimed, without offering evidence, that Britain helped Ukraine carry out drone attacks on Russian military airfields last weekend.
