Monday's UK newspaper front pages are led by Andy Burnham's latest policy proposals, with several titles focusing on a tougher approach to youth benefits. The prominence of the story suggests his plans are setting much of the political agenda at the start of the week.
Another eye-catching theme is a Gatwick fly and dry angle, presented as a travel-related policy line. The wording points to an alcohol-focused measure linked to the airport, giving papers a sharp secondary headline alongside the wider political coverage.
Elsewhere, the Daily Express highlights findings from a conservative think tank that say police forces spent £631m on diversity, equality and related schemes. The paper presents that spending as waste, framing it as part of a broader argument over public money and institutional priorities.
Taken together, the front pages mix welfare policy, transport and public spending rows. But Burnham's plans appear to dominate the coverage, showing how strongly the newspapers are leaning into policy battles and politically charged cost debates.
