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.

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.

Thursday’s front pages lead on the chaos in the House of Commons on Wednesday following a debate and vote on calls for a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza war. 

House Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle is facing calls to resign following the drama.
