Liz Truss’s mini-budget has been heavily criticised by Michael Gove as having the “wrong values”, reads the front page of The Independent.
The paper says Gove critised the measures as being not Conservative and came at a time when pressure was mounting on PM Truss to perform a u-turn on the controversial plan to axe the 45p income tax band – which gifts an average £10,000 to the 600,000 highest earners in the UK at a time when ministers are eyeing real-term cuts to welfare benefits.
The Guardian reports that Prime Minister Liz Truss is struggling to win over Conservative MPs to back her controversial mini-budget. The paper’s front page reports on a threatened “all-out rebellion” amid fears the Tories could become known as the “nasty party.” The paper said the PM displayed “a sliver of remorse” for the way the mini-budget was received, her chancellor remains defiant. It also reports that Kwasi Kwarteng would pledge on Monday to “stay the course” with what he calls a “sound credible” plan.
Former minister Michael Gove has become the latest senior Tory to savage Liz Truss’s mini-budget, reports the Metro. The paper says the former levelling-up secretary called the mini-budget “not Conservative” and critised “a number of mistakes” in the PM’s plans to grow the economy by increasing the amount of borrowing.
According to the Daily Mirror, a senior Tory has warned that Liz Truss will be ousted as prime minister by Christmas unless she ditches her tax cuts for the wealthy. “Truss ‘is finished'” is the headline on the front of the paper, which quotes a former cabinet minister’s damning verdict Truss’s premiership.
Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng is due to say “we must stay the course” and stick to his plan to deliver economic growth on Monday, reports the Daily Express. The paper says the chancellor will draw a line under the market turmoil of the past week when he issues a “conference battle cry” this afternoon at the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham.
How many more must die? that’s the headline on the front page of the Sun which reports Mel B has demanded action to tackle domestic abuse.
The Guardian leads with the Bank of England’s warning that the UK is in a recession and interest rates may need to go higher. The paper reports the Bank of England (BoE) has warned Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng the country is already in recession, after the economy shrank for the second quarter in a row. The paper also notes the BoE hiked interest rates by half a percent on Thursday, continuing its efforts to reduce inflation.
“Back from death row” is the headline in the Metro, reporting on the release of five British people who faced execution in Ukraine after being capture by Russia. The paper says the men were freed after Saudi Arabia helped negotiate a prisoner swap with between Moscow and Kyiv.
The i leads with the Bank of England’s decision to hike interest rates. The increase in interest rates to 2.25% means millions are facing a significant rise in their mortgage payments, the paper reports. The paper says Prime Minister Liz Truss and Mr Kwarteng are under pressure to prevent a “deep recession” with their “mini-budget” on Friday.
The paper leads with the killing of a 15-year-old boy in Huddersfield, who was stabbed to death outside his school. The paper says Khayri McLean was attacked as “horrified fellow pupils looked on” and died despite “desperate efforts” by a teacher to save him.
