Today's front pages: Papers respond to London Bridge attack
5 June
Monday's national newspapers are unanimously focused on the terror attack on London Bridge and Borough Market in the capital on Saturday, which saw three attackers kill seven people and injure 48.
The Guardian, Financial Times, the Daily Express and the Daily Mail all go with the headline: "Enough is enough", echoing Prime Minister Theresa May's speech yesterday morning in which she promised a crackdown on Islamic extremism in the UK, after 34 people have died in three attacks in as many months.

The Guardian adds that the race is on to find out if the attackers had a support network, saying a neighbour reported one of the suspects to police for extremism two years ago.
Reports that police secretly recorded an alleged terror cell in Barking discussing how to use YouTube to plot a knife and van attack in London fill the front page of the Daily Telegraph.
Metro goes for: "Taken down in eight minutes", a reference to the police response time to the attack, which has garnered praise from politicians and the public alike.
The Daily Star follows a similar line, calling the first responders "heroes".
The Sun, The Times and the Daily Mirror all showcase the same photo showing the attackers lying in the road following the attack. The Mirror also speaks of the speed and bravery of the public, police and ambulance services, while the Sun says one of the attackers was wearing an Arsenal football shirt.
Today's front pages: A Labour-SNP coalition?
2 June
There is now less than a week to go until the general election and the nation's newspapers are ramping up their coverage.
Behind closed doors, Jeremy Corbyn is sketching out plans for a minority Labour government with SNP backing, according to today's Times.
The Financial Times leads with Theresa May's attempt to put Brexit back in the spotlight after a week that saw the Tories take a hammering on social policies.
The Daily Mail zeroes in on Labour's proposed changes to inheritance tax, which the paper brands a "sly death tax trap".
The Daily Express takes its headline directly from the Prime Minister's speech in Middlesbrough yesterday afternoon in which she said the Labour leader was "not up to the job" and "doesn't believe in Britain".
The Sun opts for a more creative assault on the Labour leader, with a front page on Corbyn's need for a "magic money tree" to fund what the paper calls "election bribes" such as free university tuition.
Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph claims that social media has been flooded with fake pro-Labour accounts praising Jeremy Corbyn and attacking Theresa May.
The Guardian looks beyond the UK to focus on Donald Trump's announcement that the US is to withdraw from the historic Paris accords on climate change, a move that is eliciting horror and scorn around the world.
