#AceDailyNews says here’s todays Newspaper Headlines: PM faces parties quiz with The Daily Telegraph says the move by the Met Police suggests its inquiry into the 12 events is entering its final stages. This could “complicate the prime minister’s attempt to draw a line under the partygate saga”, it says as they plan to interview (well send off 50 questionnaire’s) with set questions to bring this debacle to a conclusion more soo folks.

The Times front page
Two stories dominate Thursday’s front pages: the PM’s plan to end Covid all laws in England and the Met Police saying they will email more than 50 people as part of its inquiry into lockdown parties in Downing Street and Whitehall. The Times says Boris Johnson is expected to be among those questioned, with detectives sending formal questionnaires at the end of the week.

The Daily Mirror carries its picture exclusive of the prime minister at what it says was a No 10 quiz night in 2020. The photo shows the PM with three aides, two in tinsel and a Santa hat, with a bottle of sparkling wine. However, its lead is about ex-footballer Wayne Rooney’s wife Coleen talking about their relationship.

The i says anyone who attended the Downing Street events without a “reasonable excuse” will be fined, with police demanding “truthful” answers within seven days. Meanwhile, the paper describes the planned ending of all Covid restrictions in England as a “bonfire of pandemic rules”.

Bonfire of Covid rules as The Daily Mail leads on the planned ending of Covid restrictions in England in a fortnight – including the requirement to self-isolate after a positive test. The paper describes 24 February as “freedom day”, adding the PM is said to have boasted to allies he had “got Covid done”

“The End,” is the Star’s take on the same story, as it says England will be “‘back to normal’ after two years of hell”.

The Guardian quotes unions as saying Mr Johnson was “going too far, way too soon”, but says some lockdown-sceptic Conservatives demanded he went even further, calling for a guarantee of no future restrictions.

The Financial Times says England is following the lead of Denmark, which became the first European nation to drop all restrictions this month. But its lead story is on the Wall Street’s top regulator seeking to compel hedge funds and private equity groups to disclose quarterly performance and fees charged to investors.

The Sun reports that animal charity the RSPCA has taken West Ham defender Kurt Zouma’s pet cats away after the paper obtained videos of him kicking and slapping one of them.

The paper says last night’s announcement by Scotland Yard overshadowed the prime minister’s attempts to overhaul No 10 with a mini-reshuffle.

BBC News

The Times reports that Boris Johnson is expected to be among 50 people questioned by police investigating lockdown parties at Downing Street.

According to the Telegraph, detectives plan to send questionnaires with “formal legal status” to dozens of people suspected of being involved in the gatherings.

It says the move both “suggests the police inquiry is entering its final stage” and threatens to “complicate” efforts by Mr Johnson to draw a line under the partygate saga.

The i warns that the Met’s update “shows how tricky it will be” for what it calls this “Olympian contortionist” of a prime minister to evade a fine for breaking his own Covid laws – but says it expects him to try. 

With the headline “Freedom!” the Express features Mr Johnson’s announcement that coronavirus rules in England could end in a fortnight – a month earlier than planned.

The Mail says the prime minister boasted to allies he had “got Covid done” – and No 10 sources have told the paper they’re confident the UK will be the first major country to lift all coronavirus restrictions.

But the Guardian says some scientists are concerned the change risks sending a signal that the pandemic is all over, while unions have warned that the government is “going way too far, way too soon”.

The proposal to end restrictions in England ahead of schedule is welcomed by several papers.

The Sun gives thanks for the “miraculous” vaccines rolled out by the NHS and praises Mr Johnson for “facing down scaremongering boffins and dodgy forecasts”.

For the Mail, this “final unshackling… hugely vindicates Mr Johnson’s Covid strategy”. 

But the Mirror isn’t convinced, arguing the absence of senior government advisors at Wednesday’s announcement “fuels the theory this was a political decision by a prime minister desperate to avoid a leadership challenge”. 

The front page of the Sun says there’s been a “huge backlash” against the West Ham footballer Kurt Zouma, after footage emerged of him kicking one of his cats.

The paper says the French defender has been fined £250k, lost sponsorship deals and been dropped by his team. “Good”, says the paper, before asking “what possessed” West Ham to condemn the abuse but then select the player for a match on Tuesday night. 

The Star is also appalled, describing Zouma’s actions as “disgusting” and “evil”. The paper says he must be prosecuted “or other sick individuals may think they can get away with this sort of behaviour”.

The Telegraph claims energy “surge pricing” is set to be introduced for millions of households, after three of the UK’s largest suppliers backed a revolutionary overhaul of the market.

Scottish Power, EDF and Octopus Energy are said to support plans for smart meters to record energy use every half-hour, paving the way for higher prices during peak periods.

The paper says there’s no suggestion firms will force customers to adopt surge pricing, but acknowledges the tariffs will be far easier to roll out from 2025 when half-hourly updates are set to become the default option for millions of smart meters, rather than something households must opt in to.

Several of the papers lead on the health secretary’s plan to tackle the backlog of NHS patients in England.

The Times front page
NHS waiting lists make several of Thursday’s front pages, with the Times reporting warnings from Tory MPs that Boris Johnson’s plans to clear the healthcare backlog in England are “not ambitious enough”. Many papers also picture Adele at the Brit Awards after she scooped three out the four of the main prizes.

Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Health Secretary Sajid Javid says waiting lists will rise no matter what level of “investment or reform” the government provides. He says the total waiting list will only start to come down by 2024, but by then “99% of patients will be waiting for less than a year”.

The Daily Mail is unimpressed at the prospect of waiting lists rising while tax is increased, asking: “Is that all we get for £12bn?” It says “agonising year-long waits” for hip replacements and cataract surgery will not be eliminated until March 2025 – after the next general election.

The Daily Express says 10m “hidden” patients who did not get treatment due to Covid are set to join waiting lists. The paper says the “shocking” figure was “laying bare a harsh reality facing the NHS”.

Elsewhere, the i says another one million children in the UK will go hungry as the cost of living crisis bites. The paper says 1.6m children are currently eligible for free school meals, but there is concern for a further one million whose parents are being hit by rising food prices.

The Daily Mirror leads on a quote from a BP boss, after the oil giant revealed a profit of $12.8bn (£9.5bn) in 2021. The paper says its chief executive is in line for a seven-figure bonus, while it says tax breaks helped the firm see “a bumper year as millions face poverty due to rising energy bills”.

On the same story, the Financial Times reports that BP has rejected calls for a one-off tax on profits to help households and energy-intensive industries to cope with higher fuel bills. Its chief executive Bernard Looney said an additional tax would divert revenues away from projects to boost gas supplies and produce low-carbon energy.

The Guardian leads on a prominent climate scientist saying a group of Tory MPs are trying to drag climate policies into a culture war. He said it was a tactic “being used by those opposed to addressing the ecological emergency”. The 19 Conservative MPs in the Net Zero Scrutiny Group say they do not dispute climate science or the need to decarbonise.

Like several other papers, the Metro carries a photo of Adele on its front page, speculating about the ring she wore on her engagement finger. But it leads on the so-called “Wagatha Christie” libel case between celebrities and former friends Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney.

“Handbags and sad wags” is the front page of the Daily Star, as it also leads on the legal row between footballers’ wives Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney.

Writing in the Daily Telegraph Sajid Javid says the “hard truth” is that waiting lists will continue to rise until 2024 regardless of the level of “investment or reform”.

He says this is because people who stayed away from the NHS during the pandemic are now returning for scans, checks and procedures.

But Mr Javid says from 2025, about 99% of patients will wait less than a year. 

The Daily Mail is underwhelmed by the admission that waiting lists will not decline sooner.

The paper asks “is that all we get for £12bn?” That’s the amount that will be raised every year through higher National Insurance contributions.

The former Conservative Chief Whip Mark Harper tells the paper families will have expected better results from the tax increase. 

Writing in the Daily Express, the chief executive of the NHS Confederation, Matthew Taylor, welcomes the government’s plan but warns that it leaves one big question unanswered: where are the staff to make it work?

He says there were nearly 100,000 vacancies in the NHS at the last count, and “a fully-costed workforce strategy is noticeable by its absence.” 

The i newspaper is calling on the government to give free school meals to all children whose parents receive Universal Credit.

The paper says almost 1.5m children are at risk of going hungry because of the cost of living crisis. Currently, families on Universal Credit can claim free school meals for their children only if their household income, excluding welfare payments, is less than £7,400 a year.

The Financial Times has interviewed Bernard Looney, the chief executive of BP, after it announced a big increase in profits thanks to high energy prices.

He rejects calls for a windfall tax on energy companies – arguing that it would deter investment and delay growth of renewable energy.

In its editorial, the Daily Mirror says the resistance of the government to a one-off levy shows it is siding with big corporations against working people.

Elsewhere, leading climate scientist Michael Mann has told the Guardianthat a group of Conservative MPs and peers is trying to derail the government’s plan to make the UK a net-zero carbon emitter.

He accuses the Net Zero Scrutiny Group of wanting to drag climate policies into a culture war. The paper says the group is attempting to link policies to tackle climate change with the cost of living crisis.

The Daily Telegraph highlights an analysis which found that more than 14,000 people fall victim to scams every day. More than half of them are losing at least £100, and 22% of the victims are vulnerable, including the elderly. 

Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper will use the data today to accuse the government of playing down the impact and the scale of fraud. 

And finally farmers have been told that yelling “get off my land” at walkers who stray from footpaths is no longer deemed acceptable.

According to the Times new guidance from the government body Natural England suggests they should instead ask trespassers if they need help getting back to paths.

The agency said the aim is “to help the public enjoy the countryside.”
