'Tory wipeout' and 'nothing sacred'

The Guardian leads on Labour plans to close the gender pay gap. In an interview with the paper, Rachel Reeves says she'll make flexible working the norm if she breaks the "last glass ceiling in politics" and becomes the UK's first female chancellor. Noting that a woman has never been in charge of the nation's finances before, she tells the paper she she feels a "big responsibility" to solve inequality in the workplace "once and for all."

"Tory Wipeout" is the headline in the Daily Telegraph. An opinion poll for the paper suggests both Rishi Sunak, and the Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, are at risk of losing their seats at the election. According to the analysis - by the research companies Savanta and Electoral Calculus - around three quarters of the cabinet could be voted out. Analysing the results of the poll, the Telegraph's associate editor, Gordon Rayner, says Kemi Badenoch could become the future of the Conservative party "by default" - as the only "big beast" in the cabinet left standing.

The results of another, YouGov poll of 35,000 voters is the main story in the Times. The seat-by-seat analysis suggests Labour are on course to win the biggest majority of any party in a century - with the Conservatives haemorrhaging support to Reform and the Lib Dems.

The Financial Times says the latest figures on inflation "delivered a filip" to the prime minister, as he seeks to "turn around" his party's election campaign. Hitting the two per cent target for the first time in three years marks what it calls a "milestone for the economy." The Sun calls it "Rishi's reward" - for fighting off crazy union pay demands in the NHS. The Daily Mirror says he deserves no credit - given so many households are still struggling to make ends meet.

The Daily Mail reports that the Post Office has published on its website the full names and addresses of 555 sub-postmasters, wrongly accused of fraud in the Horizon IT scandal. The paper says it appears to have uncovered a "staggering data breach" - described by some of the victims as another "betrayal." The confidential list has now been taken down. The Post Office said it had begun an investigation.

"Is nothing sacred?" the Mail asks, on its front page, after Just Stop Oil protestors sprayed the Stonehenge with orange paint. The paper says the stunt, by what it calls "eco fanatics", caused outrage on the eve of the summer solstice. "Just lock them up" is the headline in the Daily Express. The paper carries a comment piece by the home secretary, James Cleverly, who describes what happened as a "reckless and idiotic assault on the fabric of our nation" - by what he calls "hemp-wearing hoodlums."

The Times reports on what it says is the first ever scientific experiment on one of the most talked about consequences of the coronavirus pandemic - the rise of working from home. The randomised trial, involving more than 16 hundred workers at a Chinese technology company, sought to establish whether work from home makes employees more productive - or gives the lazy an excuse to slack off. The conclusion: staff who are allowed to stay home for part of the week are no more efficient than those who stay in the office....but they are happier.
