Most of Friday’s front pages lead with the shocking news announced yesterday that the prime minister will scrap NHS England and bring it back under government control over the next two years. Many papers report on the amount of job losses the changes could see and how much cash that could free up.
On the international front, there’s room on almost all the front pages to reports that Russian President Vladamir Putin has agreed in principle to a ceasefire in Ukraine but has set out strong terms. He has also rejected having a direct phone call with Donald Trump, who has imposed more sanctions on Russia in a bid to get Putin to accept the US-proposed ceasefire deal.
