The left-leaning newspapers report on the probe against Angela Rayner being dropped by police, they rip apart the prime ministers ‘triple lock’ policy, calling it a gimmick, and pick up on Labour’s promise to clear NHS waiting lists within 5 years.
The back pages report on the latest from the Premier League – the season may be over, but hiring continues.
