Meanwhile, the Daily Mail and The Times splash on comments fromHealth and Social Secretary Wes Streeting who has admitted that the overburdened health service wouldn’t be cured despite the huge handout.

The Daily Telegraph says Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves has indicated more tax rises are on the way in Wednesday’s budget to help prop up the NHS.

Charities are warning MPs that cutbacks may be unavoidable and funds may be rerouted away from essential services if the rise in employers’ National Insurance goes ahead, writes the i.

Meanwhile, in Europe, Volkswagen may axe three of its German factories which will see thousands of jobs lost in the carmaker’s first closure in 87 years, the Financial Times reports.

The Metro reports that a paedophile who used artificial intelligence to turn normal photos of children into bespoke, sexually explicit copies ‘of the most depraved nature’ has been jailed for 18 years.
