'Burnham faces climate revolt' and 'Harry wants to fix feud' Published 2 hours ago Image caption, The Jackdaw gasfield will be given the go-ahead today, according to the Guardian. The paper says the move signals Prime Minister Andy Burnham's commitment to the North Sea oil and gas industry, but "threatens to trigger a row with climate campaigners and Labour MPs". It reports that the shift will be a "major boost" for Britain's oil and gas industry, and once fully operational, will account for 6% of North Sea gas production. Image caption, The Prince of Wales is pictured back-to-back with his brother, the Duke of Sussex, on the front page of the Sun. The paper focuses on a "bombshell" interview Prince Harry gave GQ magazine, where he said he hoped for reconciliation with his family. In a comment that the paper says could be seen as "a dig at Wills", the duke said: "Some people don't want it to work out. I want to work it out". Image caption, The Daily Express says the Duke of Sussex has been "forced to deny taking a swipe at William", in regards to his remarks in GQ. "It was absolutely not intended as a swipe at his brother or any other members of this family," a spokesperson for the prince told the paper. Image caption, The interview is described as a "new Sussex psychodrama" by the Daily Mail, which reads: "Oh, do put a sock in it Harry!" Image caption, "Mahmood's fight to save her migrant crackdown" reads the Times, which reports the home secretary is "under pressure" to water down plans that would make it harder for foreign workers to claim permanent residence. The paper says Burnham is considering exempting care workers from a proposal to extend the qualifying period for claiming indefinite leave to remain from five years to 15 years. It adds that Mahmood is expected to formally announce the plans next month, despite opposition from more than a hundred Labour MPs. Image caption, The Telegraph says teachers face being banned from wearing pro-Palestine badges following a review of anti-Semitism in schools. It says that Sir David Bell, former Ofsted chief inspector, will detail the scale of abuse suffered by Jewish pupils across England in a report set to be released on Wednesday. He is expected to make 27 recommendations to deal with anti-Semitism in schools and colleges, the paper reports, including strengthening guidance on political impartiality - particularly regarding geopolitical issues. Image caption, The front paper of the i Paper is dedicated to its exclusive report that the owners of Manchester City struck a rights payment deal with the council months before they were sold to Etihad Airways in agreement worth an estimated £10m a year. The airline reached a 10-year sponsorship deal for the council-owned stadium - as well as the club shirt and campus - which it says is worth a reported £400m. Image caption, The Independent considers an inquiry which found that government failures in care settings created an environment that allowed Covid to "spread like wildfire" among the most vulnerable. The paper says the inquiry found ministers treated the sector "like an afterthought" during the pandemic, and then-Health Secretary Matt Hancock's claim that the government had placed a protective ring around care homes was unfounded. Image caption, The Mirror has similarly focused on the "protective ring" claim, which is says has been slammed as a "cruel lie". The paper says some 43,000 residents died after hospital patients were discharged to care homes in the first weeks of the outbreak. "More shame for Hancock", it writes. Image caption, The former health secretary is also pictured front and centre of the Metro, paired with the headline "Hancock and bull". Image caption, The headline of the Financial Times reads: "AI debt nerves trigger race for default insurance in case boom turns to bust". The paper reports $9bn of credit default swaps are being traded a week, triggered by the wave of borrowing to finance trillions of dollars of AI infrastructure spending. It is a sign of investor unease, the paper says.
