The Daily Mail is dominated by Labour’s suspension of MP Mike Amesbury after footage appeared to show him punching a man to the ground.The paper explains what can be seen in CCTV footage that it has obtained, and also carries interviews with people in Amesbury’s constituency, who have been reacting to the footage.
That same story features on the front page of the Times, alongside images taken from the CCTV video.The paper also focuses on an upcoming speech by Keir Starmer, in which the PM will warn that Britain must face the “harsh light” of reality as he prepares for a Budget with expected tax rises.

The Daily Telegraph reports on a letter sent by former Chancellor Jeremy Hunt to the Budget watchdog, in which he says the Office for Budget Responsibility’s plans to release a report into the £22bn alleged financial “black hole” left by the Tories on the same day as the Budget would amount to political impartiality.It also features the alleged altercation involving Labour MP Mike Amesbury.
The Express carries comments from the former Bank of England governor Mervyn King, who says Labour’s claims that taxes won’t be raised for “working people” is a “terrible illusion”. Lord King, who spoke to Sky News, adds that the upcoming Budget could slow job growth and mean higher mortgages.
