EPAMany of the front pages focus on speculation that Chancellor Rachel Reeves is preparing to increase income tax in this month's Budget.
The Guardian says Reeves is expected to "lay the groundwork" when she makes a speech at Downing Street on Tuesday morning, adding she is going to be "candid" about the choices ahead. The Daily Telegraph says the Chancellor is expected to say she's taking the "necessary steps" to fix public finances for "years to come".

"Reeves softens us up for tax betrayal," is the Daily Mail's take.

The Daily Telegraph says its seen a whistleblowing memo accusing the BBC of editing a speech by Donald Trump to make it appear he had encouraged the 2021 Capitol riots.

In a statement, the BBC said it did not comment on leaked documents but added that when the corporation received feedback it took it seriously.
The Times reports that the government is to scrap the English baccalaureate, a performance measure used by schools in England that tracks pupil attainment in core GCSE subjects. As part of the changes, the paper says, schools will also no longer be assessed on the number of pupils taking modern foreign languages.
