Westminster Scrutiny and Canadian Grief: Thursday 12 February 2026
The Independent's front page on Thursday, 12 February 2026, is dominated by UK political scandal and a tragic school shooting. A large image shows individuals with hands raised near a brick building and vehicles, illustrating the aftermath in Tumbler Ridge, Canada. The headline reports 'Canada mourns with you' after nine deaths, with the suspected shooter found dead; inside the paper, police have identified an 18-year-old female suspect.
The lead UK story, "Furious women MPs turn on Starmer over 'boys club' scandals," details Harriet Harman's call for a woman in a key No 10 role. This follows criticism that the Prime Minister favours "paedophile apologists" like Lords Mandelson and Doyle, reflecting wider concerns about vetting and a "boys club" culture within government, as expanded upon inside the paper.
