'Autumn raid'
A round-up of the headlines from the UK front pages
The new chancellor, Rachel Reeves, is expected to reveal there is a shortfall of as much as £20bn in the government's finances, says The Guardian. The Telegraph puts the figure at £19bn and says than an "autumn tax raid" is expected.
The Times reports that the Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, has criticised England's health watchdog. Streeting says the Care Quality is "not fit for purpose", adding that he has been "stunned by the failings".
But the Daily Mail zooms in on Labour's key election campaign pledge that energy bills will fall by £300 a year by 2030. Ed Miliband has refused to give a date for when people could expect to see bills fall, it notes.
