'Poisonous'

A round-up of the headlines from the UK front pages

"Poisonous" is The Mirror's verdict on Home Secretary Suella Braverman's remarks on immigration. The tabloid accuses her of trying to "distract from her own failures". The Times calls her speech "one of the most hardline" on the subject by a British home secretary.

The i Paper reports that private schools are set to "go to battle" with Keir Starmer over Labour's plans to charge 20% VAT on school fees. Many private schools have charitable status, so are currently exempted from various taxes.

The Financial Times leads on a lawsuit brought against Amazon by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) claiming that the retailer illegally uses monopoly power to overcharge consumers, hobble competitors, and exploit sellers on its marketplace platform. The paper says the suit marks one of the biggest tests yet for FTC chair Lina Khan and her "more aggressive stance".
