The headline in the Daily Mail reads: "No more tax rises, insists Reeves"

A number of Tuesday’s newspapers lead with Chancellor Rachel Reeves defending the Budget and ruling out further tax rises. The Daily Mail says that in a bid to head off a “growing business revolt over her £40 billion ‘tax-bomb’ Budget”, Reeves told the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) conference she was “not going to have to come back for more”. The paper quotes CBI chairman Rupert Soames who said business had been treated as a “cash cow” to be “milked”. An image of Kate Moss is displayed on the front page, with the paper saying “Race you! Kate’s Zara collection hits High St”.

The headline in the Daily Telegraph reads: "Reeves tax rises are milking us, say bosses"

In similar fashion, the Daily Telegraph reports that business leaders have “turned” on Reeves as a “string of executives warn that Britain is becoming a less attractive place to invest under Labour”. Addressing the CBI conference on Monday, Reeves insisted her Budget was “good for jobs and good for growth”, the paper adds. The paper also leads on Labour’s plan to unveil a “flagship back-to-work plan” that does not include a “crackdown” on sickness benefits, in a “blow to business”.

The headline in the front page of the i Newspaper reads: "Public spending cuts on the way from 2026 as Reeves vows no more tax rises"

Public services face another four years of “tight budgets”, warns the Chancellor, as she pledges not to put up taxes again for the duration of this parliament, writes the i newspaper. The paper also shows a photograph of a man covered in muck from Storm Bert, adding that “more flooding” is expected.

The headline in the Times reads: "Britain isn't working, admits PM in jobs push"

Sir Keir Starmer says that Britain “simply isn’t working” and bosses must “get better at keeping the long-term sick in their jobs”, says the Times. The paper writes that the prime minister is promising an “overhaul” of job centres and will send more NHS staff to areas with the highest rates of “worklessness” under plans to deal with unemployment and a “growing sickness crisis”. The paper also reports that single women in their thirties are increasingly choosing to “take the future into their own hands” and have a baby alone. It is quoting data from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority.

The headline in the Guardian reads: "Labour makes pledge to ensure 'no young person is left behind'"

The Guardian says that teenagers will get skills training at the Premier League, the Royal Shakespeare Company and Channel Four as part of a government drive to get hundreds of thousands into jobs or education. Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall told the paper: “Almost 1 million young people are neither earning nor learning.” In other news, the paper reports that Israel’s security cabinet is due to meet on Tuesday to decide on a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon after “more than a year of fighting between Israeli forces and the Shia militia Hezbollah”.

The headline on the front page of the Metro reads: "Starmer: I'll make spiking a crime"

The Metro says the Keir Starmer has pledged to make spiking a specific criminal offence, so more people report it and police “take cases more seriously”. The prime minister said venue staff would get training, with a pilot scheme starting before Christmas, followed by a UK roll-out from March, the paper adds.

The headline on the front page of the Financial Times reads: "FCA branded incompetent by dishonest by MPs' report"

MPs and Lords have said the Financial Conduct Authority is “incompetent at best, dishonest at worst”, according to a “scathing report” published on the same day that the regulator fined Barclays £40m over a case relating to the financial crisis 16 years ago, the Financial Times reports. The FCS said it “strongly rejected the characterisation of the organisation”.

The headline in the Daily Mirror reads: "Mud, sweat & tears"

The clear-up from Storm Bert has begun after it left a “trail of heartbreak and destruction”, says the Daily Mirror. The paper shows a picture of helper Alayah Mae Axton, 10, at Cross Keys rugby club in South Wales after flooding.

The headline in the Daily Express reads: "Bank holiday thank you to nation's heroes"

Britain will say thank you to the “Greatest Generation” with bonus bank holidays to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two, according to the Daily Express. Plans to honour next year’s “momentous milestones” are set to include a four-day jamboree, the Daily Express says it understands. A tribute to author Barbara Taylor Bradford is also displayed on the front page, saying she has died aged 91.

The headline in the Daily Star reads: "All I want for Christmas is... You"

And the Daily Star reports that the number of pets being “dumped” in the run-up to Christmas has risen by 50%, “as people struggle to make ends meet”.
