Monday’s front pages feature a variety of domestic and international stories. Several newspapers lead with the prime minister’s AI strategy – set to be revealed today. Keir Starmer will set out plans to use AI across the country to boost growth and deliver public services more efficiently.

The AI Opportunities Action Plan being announced on Monday will be backed by leading tech firms, which are said to have committed £14bn towards various projects, creating 13,250 jobs.

Away from the AI story, many of the papers are made up of a mixture of news. Several papers continue their coverage of the LA wildfires, whilst images of the UK’s frosty weather make some of the newspapers.

The back pages report on Manchester United knocking Arsenal out of the FA Cup yesterday – as well as news Man City and England player Kyle Walker wants to leave the Premier League and play abroad.
