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.
