Newspaper headlines: Labour's £28bn 'U-turn' and fury at 'blue card' plans

Sir Keir Starmer's decision to axe Labour's pledge to spend £28bn a year on green projects features on many of Friday's front pages.

"Can you ever believe a word Sir U-turn says?" asks the Daily Mail. The Guardian says the decision has sparked "fury" from campaigners, unions, and some in the energy sector. The Times quotes Labour MP Clive Lewis, who has accused Sir Keir of "experimenting with a variation of austerity".

The Financial Times has spoken to an industry analyst who's warned Labour's cut to funding for home insulation will lead to "more wasted energy, more imported gas and higher bills". Many of the papers reflect the Labour leader's insistence that the policy was unaffordable because of the government's handling of the economy.

"PM vows to call out Starmer's 'dirty tricks'," is the headline on the front page of the Daily Express. A Tory source has told the paper that Rishi Sunak would "never stoop so low" as to use the murder of the transgender teenager Brianna Ghey as a political issue. Sir Keir has called for an apology from Mr Sunak, who made a jibe about the Labour leader's position on gender on the day Brianna's mother was visiting Parliament.

The Daily Telegraph reports on allegations by a priest that the Church of England is operating a "conveyor belt" of asylum seeker baptisms. The Reverend Matthew Firth - who used to be in charge of a parish in the north of England - tells the paper he personally encountered about 20 cases where failed asylum seekers sought baptisms to support their appeals to remain in the UK. The Church of England has previously said that it's not its job to vet asylum seekers.

The i says the Post Office has admitted a second IT scandal may be linked to wrongful prosecutions. The newspaper reports that the Post Office is investigating claims it wrongly pursued former sub-postmasters because of faults in its Capture IT system - a separate system to Horizon, which has already been linked to hundreds of wrongful convictions. The paper quotes the organisation as saying it's "particularly concerned" by the allegations.

"Nation in decay" is the headline on the front of the Daily Mirror. The paper reports the number of children having teeth pulled out in hospital in England last year soared to 48,000. It says a lack of NHS dentists has been blamed for the rise. The chair of the British Dental Association, Eddie Crouch, is quoted as saying the statistics show the "oral health gap is widening" for young patients.

"Blue what?" asks the headline in the Sun. The paper says football fans have reacted angrily to plans to introduce a new blue penalty card. The paper says proposals from the game's lawmakers could see players who break certain rules banished from the pitch for 10 minutes. The Daily Star says the change would be the biggest to the game since the introduction of red and yellow cards at the 1970 World Cup.
