Prince Harry interviews ahead of release of book

The Daily Mirror reports the “future of the NHS is on a knife edge” and highlights the calls from the British Medical Association for immediate state intervention. 

Both the Guardian and the i newspaper lead with warnings from health leaders that the NHS faces three more months of turmoil – with further critical incidents expected – and patient care routinely compromised. 

UK set for longer and deeper recession 

The Financial Times reports experts predict the UK is set for a longer and deeper recession than other wealthy nations in the G7. 

The FT surveyed more than a hundred experts and a clear majority say they expect high interest rates and tight government spending controls to continue for longer than elsewhere. One economist said that the 2023 recession will “feel much worse” than the economic impact of the pandemic – but most said growth would return by the end of the year.
