'On the backs of the poor' and 'tax rise fears'

There is little comfort for Rachel Reeves on the front pages, after a Spring Statement which the Daily Mail calls "humiliating" and the Sun calls a "bombshell".

The Guardian and the Daily Mirror both offer similar headlines to each other, saying the chancellor has been accused of balancing the books at the expense of the poor.

The Guardian reports that ministers are bracing themselves for a backbench rebellion against the cuts to welfare, while the Mirror says the Trades Union Congress has "slammed" the benefit cuts as "the wrong call".

The i Paper says Rachel Reeves struggled to find any growth, adding that 250,000 people will be pushed into poverty.

The headline in the Times nods towards the forces which could knock the plans off course, saying Reeves is being "squeezed" by US President Donald Trump. The paper highlights the OBR's warning that the UK has only a "tiny cushion" to help withstand tariffs or a further increase in the cost of borrowing.

The Financial Times says the plans are in jeopardy because of the threat of a full-blown global trade war.

The editorial in the Guardian concludes that Labour's approach is "austerity in disguise" and complains that, after campaigning as an agent of change, the party has governed as a bean-counter.

For the Telegraph, it was the "most disingenuous statement in memory" - and one in which the rhetoric was entirely at odds with reality.

The Daily Star asked if Reeves was Liz Truss in disguise and says "Lettuce 2.0 has shredded the economy". More soberly the paper says that, five months after her first Budget, it's struggling to see where progress is being made.
