Browsing: October Budget

Monday’s front pages lead with several domestic and international stories.

Ongoing backlash over the October Budget dominates a handful of front pages with several reporting on the ‘tax raid’ whilst others preview a speech by the chancellor in which she will say she had no choice other than raising taxes.

Several papers look ahead to Friday’s assisted dying vote in the Commons. The Cabinet appears to be split over the vote – but many of the papers are not.

Images of Storm Bert feature on many front pages as streets flood in the UK and at least five people died.

The weekend’s Premier League action dominates the back pages.

The chancellor delivered her first Mansion House speech on Thursday as she urged the City regulators to allow financial service providers to take greater risks, saying that the rules introduced after the 2008 financial crash had “gone too far” and were harming growth.

The speech is an annual address to the City of London by the sitting chancellor. In her first address, she attempted to reassure the City that she had a growth strategy. Much of her speech is highlighted across print media and online this morning.

The Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey also gave a speech yesterday at the event in which said the UK must improve its relationship with Europe saying the “consequences of Brexit” were damaging the economy.

Thursday’s front pages report on the budget – delivered by the chancellor yesterday. The newspapers analyse and scrutinise the measures announced by Rachel Reeves, the first Labour budget in 14 years.

Online, the newspapers offer up even more analysis and opinion articles.

Elsewhere, there’s a little coverage of the flash flooding in Spain and the back pages are dominated by Manchester United’s attempts to get Amorim.
