The Post Office's new chairman Nigel Railton will brief...
Daily Mail
The Daily Mail says Labour has a “secret tax rise dossier” with plans to raise £60bn. Its front page also includes a picture at Ascot of Lady Gabriella Windsor, who lost her husband Thomas Kingston earlier this year.
Daily Express
The Daily Express’s headline quotes Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as saying “Labour will tax your years of savings in weeks”. Its front page includes an image of Lady Gabriella Windsor receiving a “big hug”.
Daily Telegraph
An eye-catching picture of a racegoer at Ascot wearing an elaborate headdress adorns the front page of the Daily Telegraph. The main headline reads “Britain 20 years behind Europe on cancer care” and, lower down, the paper reports “tax raid fear” as Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer “suggests savers are ‘not working people'”.
The Times
The Times also questions Mr Starmer’s definition of “working people”. It says that former Prime Minister Boris Johnson “shuns campaign trail as Tories face red wall decimation”. Another headline is about a blood test that can “spot Parkinson’s seven years early”.
i paper
The UK is in “secret talks” over “financial turmoil” at its IT contractor Atos, the i paper reports, with a possible effect on benefits and the NHS. It features an image of sheep apparently turning away from Rishi Sunak as he tries to feed them under the headline “ewe turn if you want to”.
The Guardian
The Guardian leads with Labour saying that the “NHS will buy beds in care homes to cut hospital waits”. The front page includes an image of Rishi Sunak on a boat, titled “All at sea?”. Lower down, the newspaper reports that UK children are “shorter and sicker due to poor diet”.
Daily Mirror
Several puns make it to the front page of the Daily Mirror. The headline reads “you’re going to need a bigger vote” alongside the same picture of Mr Sunak. It adds that the Tories are “adrift from reality” and, using the same pun as the Guardian, says that the PM is “all at sea”.
Metro
“Post Office in ‘criminal conspiracy'” reads the headline of the Metro quoting one of the independent forensic accountants the company hired. The story adds that the accountant, Ian Henderson, “felt there was a cover up” of the Post Office scandal, in which hundreds of postmasters and postmistresses were wrongly prosecuted.
Financial Times
The Financial Times looks beyond the election, saying “Tory hopefuls jockey for position as post-poll race to succeed Sunak looms”. The paper also reports Nvidia has become more valuable than Apple and Microsoft.
Daily Star
The Daily Star focuses on the “rise of the bog snackers”, stating that a “quarter of Gen Z admit eating as they sit on lav”. The front page also promotes pullouts of Ascot, the Premier League and the Euros.
