Like all of Tuesday’s papers, the New Year Honours list features on the front of the Times, with its main image being the newly-knighted Gareth Southgate, former boss of the England men’s football team. In a separate story, the paper also reports that “millions of teachers, nurses and civil servants could be offered higher salaries in return for lower pensions”, under possible government plans.
The i’s focus with the New Year Honours list is on the OBEs awarded to four former sub-postmasters following the Horizon scandal. The paper notes that “many campaigners are still waiting for compensation despite being cleared of wrongdoing”.
The Daily Mail is among the papers that focus on the knighthood awarded to Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, and quotes shadow home secretary Chris Philp’s claim that the gong is a “reward for failure”. Meanwhile, the theft of jewellery and other high-value items worth more than £10m from a home in north London also makes the front page.
The Daily Telegraph also leads on comments from Chris Philp about Sadiq Khan’s knighthood. Philp criticises Khan over London’s knife crime and council tax. Also on the front, the paper reports on its own analysis that workers in the public sector take “three times as many” mental health sick days.
The front page of the Daily Mirror focuses on the New Year Honours list with the headline Sir Gareth, featured alongside some other well-known faces including actress Sarah Lancashire and gardener Alan Titchmarsh.
The Sun leads on the story of five people who have been charged in connection with the death of Liam Payne. The story quotes “a friend of the 31-year-old’s family”, who said it had been a “very difficult Christmas” and “they now just want justice for their son”. The paper’s front page also features a picture of Olympic runner Keely Hodgkinson, who has been awarded an MBE.
The Daily Express leads on newly-released papers which give a snapshot of the government’s attitude to immigration in 2004. The records show former foreign secretary and former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott warned Tony Blair against granting “eastern Europeans unrestricted access to the British labour markets”, instead pushing for work permits to be used.
And like many of the papers, the Daily Star has a picture of Gareth Southgate on its front page. The headline on its lead story reads “Eggheads: We’ve cracked baldness”, with the story reporting that “eating eggs can stop you going bald”.
Something a bit different in the FT, with the paper reporting a shift of $450bn (£358bn) from actively managed funds to cheaper passive investing. “Traditional stockpicking funds have struggled to justify their relatively high fees, with their performance lagging behind the gains for Wall Street indices powered by big technology stocks,” the paper reports.
