08.07.2025 โข The State Visit and The Reckoning
โจUK media extensively covered French President Emmanuel Macron's state visit throughout July 8th. The day began with anticipation of his arrival and discussions around Starmer's proposed migrant deal, evolving into detailed reports of the royal welcome at Windsor, his address to Parliament, and pledges for "closest cooperation ever" on migration. The visit culminated in a grand state banquet at Windsor Castle, where King Charles and Macron hailed strong UK-France relations. Concurrently, a significant domestic story emerged from the Post Office Horizon inquiry, revealing that at least thirteen victims tragically took their own lives due to false accusations, a revelation that gained increasing scrutiny from mid-morning onwards and remained a prominent focus. The Texas flash floods, a primary concern from previous days, continued to feature in reports, with death tolls rising, though its editorial prominence lessened as other major stories developed.
