Many of Monday’s newspapers continue to share their expectations for the Wednesday Budget. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is hoping to introduce tax cuts in the upcoming Budget – a key policy for Conservatives – but several front pages warn that a squeeze on public spending to fund the tax cuts could leave the country facing even worse living standards.

Not all of the morning newspapers cover the massacre in Gaza last night, by the Israeli IDF who killed over 100 Palestinians and injured hundreds in Gaza who were queuing at aid trucks, igniting international condemnation and accusations of war crimes.

Meanwhile, political manoeuvring takes centre stage as The Express attempts to redirect the focus from George Galloway’s Rochdale by-election victory by highlighting Suella Braveman’s dire warnings on immigration.

Extremism is the focus of many of Sunday’s front pages. Tory MP Lee Anderson has been suspended by his party following his comments about Mayor of London Sadiq Khan which have been labelled as “Islamophobic, anti-Muslim and racist”, whilst some of the papers lead on private security being used by some MPs due to rising tensions.
