The Papers: 'Arise Sir Gareth' and minister's prison announcement

Many of Saturday's front pages look forward to the Euro 2024 final showdown between England and Spain. The Daily Express is leading calls for England's manager Gareth Southgate to get a knighthood, regardless of the outcome on Sunday.

Also calling for Southgate to receive the honour is former footballer and presenter Chris Kamara. If England win, 'Kammy' is also calling for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to give the country a bank holiday to celebrate. "Honour his 'ed my son" is the Daily Star's playful headline.

"Roar us on" is the rally cry on the front page of the Daily Mirror, alongside photos of England forwards Bukayo Saka, Harry Kane and Ollie Watkins - who fired the Three Lions into the final with a late winner on Wednesday against the Netherlands. Watkins believes England fans can be the side's "12th man" on Sunday, the Mirror reports.

Away from the football, many of the papers are reflecting on decisions being made by Labour during the party's first week in government. The Daily Mail draws attention to comments made by Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, who has confirmed a new prisoner release scheme will start within weeks to avoid overcrowding. She is warning that urgent action must be taken to avoid looters "running amok", the Mail reports.

The story also features in the Times. The paper reports that Ms Mahmood has admitted that public safety could be compromised by announcing that violent criminals will be among those released less than halfway through their sentence, though she insists it is the "only way to avert disaster" in prisons.

The i's weekend edition reports on what it says is concern within the UK government of US President Joe Biden's "gaffes". The paper cites government sources as saying privately they are unhappy that the president's verbal slips overshadowed a crucial Nato summit. President Biden mixed up the names of world leaders twice on Thursday.

The Daily Telegraph reports that half of Keir Starmer's cabinet opposed planning proposals in their own constituencies, prompting accusations of hypocrisy over the party's house-building policy. Labour's election campaign centred on planning reform in order to build 1.5 million homes in five years, the paper notes.

The FT Weekend looks ahead to legislation the prime minister will reportedly set out next week to axe hereditary peers from the House of Lords. The bill is part of a wide-ranging legislative package of the new government which will be set out by King Charles III in the state opening of Parliament, the paper says.
