Newspaper headlines: Arcadia 'faces collapse', and a plea to rebel MPs

The face of Sir Philip Green appears on several of the front pages, as his Arcadia High Street fashion empire faces likely collapse.

"No Shame" is the headline in the Daily Mirror, which says the tycoon is planning a luxury holiday in the Maldives in the coming weeks while thousands of his staff prepare for potential redundancy.

One employee tells HuffPost UK that colleagues are panicking there will not be enough retail jobs to go round if the chain goes into administration.

If it does, the Daily Express says, Arcadia could be broken up and sold off.

According to the FT Weekend, Next, the online clothing giant, Boohoo, and Sir Philip's long-time rival - the owner of Sports Direct, Mike Ashley - may be interested buyers.

The Sun claims that the revised system of coronavirus restrictions in England could be in place until early April.

The paper says Boris Johnson is "determined to put the NHS first" - concerned that hospitals could start overflowing with patients if the measures are eased midway through the winter.

But it points out the move will "further enrage Tory MPs already threatening mutiny" when changes to the tiered approach are put to a vote in the Commons next week.

The Daily Telegraph thinks up to 100 Conservative backbenchers could now rebel.

One of them - William Wragg - tells the Daily Mail he worries that the tiers will become "a purgatory with no escape".

Memos leaked to the Guardian show that health inspectors in England are still moving between care homes with high rates of Covid-19 infection without being tested.

The documents from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) highlight concerns that more residents have been put at risk of catching the disease by inspectors unwittingly passing it between homes.

One told managers that the visits were like "going into the eye of the storm".

The CQC says the government has now approved a testing regime, which is due to begin early next month.

The i weekend reports that scientists have developed a new type of synthetic skin that could make robotic hands cheaper and more effective.

The team at Glasgow University fitted the skin with solar-powered cells and tiny lights.

As an object approached the hand, the skin calculated its shape by measuring changes in the light - replicating a sense of touch.

The experts hope the technology could revolutionise prosthetic limbs, as it does not require a battery pack.

And the Times has welcome news for lovers of one of cricket's most cherished traditions - the mid-match tea.

On Monday, members of the Sussex Cricket League voted to scrap the requirement for clubs to lay on a spread of sandwiches and cakes for the visiting team.

But the league's chairman has now admitted there were problems with the way the vote was conducted - and it will be re-run.

Whatever the outcome, one club - the Horsted Keynes Horsemen - say they will continue to provide teas for any opponents who are happy to feed them in return.

"In fact", they go on, "we're working on a new pavlova recipe".
