Newspaper headlines: Green Queen 'vents her anger', and pig crisis

The Times reports that Boris Johnson has been told that China's President Xi Jinping will not attend next month's climate change conference in Glasgow.

British officials fear that could prelude China refusing to set new goals to cuts its emissions.

The i newspaper notes that Beijing missed the UN deadline to update its pledge this week, as did Saudi Arabia.

The Daily Mail, Daily Express and Daily Mirror focus on what they say is the Queen's "frustration" at world leaders who are trying to avoid the summit.

A recording from the opening of the Welsh Parliament in Cardiff yesterday faintly picks up a private conversation in which she appears to say: "It's really irritating when they talk, but don't do."

On its front page, the Sun gives the monarch the title: "Her Majesty The Green."

Unions are threatening the largest lorry drivers' strike since the winter of discontent in 1979, according to the Daily Telegraph.

A Department for Transport spokesperson suggests the action could "hold Christmas hostage."

The Unite union says drivers want fair pay, and more truck stops with clean toilets and catering facilities.

There are more concerns about problems with this year's Christmas shopping.

The Independent online says that Amazon will recommend its customers place their orders in November.

The Express and Mail both predict that prices will soar, while the Sun insists that shoppers have started panic buying toys and other presents.

In its leader column, the Times points out that while the chancellor has said there will be plenty to buy at Christmas, he "didn't say which Christmas".

The paper suggests the "global supply chain crisis" could last until 2023.

In the Matt cartoon in the Telegraph, a child scoffs at a friend: "You don't still believe in the supply chain crisis do you? Your parents make it up so they don't have to buy presents."

The Financial Times says that Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng is hoping forecasts that this winter will be mild will ease fears about rising gas bills.

But the shadow business secretary, Ed Miliband, tells the FT this is a "new low for government policy" - "crossing fingers" for a mild winter.

The Guardian says that the government plan to increase face-to-face GP appointments could lead to an exodus of doctors, exhausted by the pandemic.

The warning comes from the doctor's union, the British Medical Association.

But the Mail criticises the reaction of doctors' leaders, accusing them of "throwing a hissy fit."

As the Brexit minister, Lord Frost, travels to Brussels for more talks about Northern Ireland trade arrangements, the Sun suggests he will tell the EU its offer to cut checks is not enough.

Meanwhile the FT says five EU countries want retaliatory measures drawn up - including ending the trade agreement - if the UK suspends much of its post-Brexit deal for Northern Ireland.

And President Emmanuel Macron is pictured leaping in the air in his football kit on the front of the Telegraph.

The French leader is said to have scored a penalty at a charity match in Paris.

The paper seems underwhelmed, describing his shot as being "less than ferocious" and suggests that "overawed opponents ... retreated deferentially as he advanced with the ball."
