Burnham's 'blast at Blair' and 'Labour plans welfare shake-up'
BBC
The Guardian says Labour is "poised for a fresh attempt at welfare reform", after Alan Milburn published his interim report on youth inactivity. The Financial Times says he's insisted that there's "appetite" within government for changing the benefits system. But the paper also highlights concerns from the Labour chair of the Work and Pensions Select Committee, Debbie Abrahams. She warns that any changes could "potentially undermine youth employability by driving up child poverty or exacerbating underlying health conditions".
The Times leads on what it calls Andy Burnham's "riposte" to Sir Tony Blair - who has warned Labour against moving further to the left. The mayor of Greater Manchester, who is expected to challenge Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer if he wins the Makerfield by-election, says "the fall in the living standards of millions" is a "gaping omission" in Sir Tony's analysis. A full list of the parties who have so far announced their candidates for the by-election can be found on the BBC News website.
Former Prime Minister David Cameron has criticised proposals to limit prostate cancer screening to only a few thousand men, according to the Daily Telegraph. Lord Cameron, who revealed last year he had been treated for the disease, has described the plan as a "a real step backwards". Another prostate cancer patient, the Soho House founder Nick Jones, tells the Daily Mail that the decision "feels mind-boggling". In the Daily Mirror, the executive director of Cancer Research UK acknowledges the move will upset many, but says the blood tests used to detect the disease are "not effective enough to support wider screening".
The Sun says Fifa is facing legal action from at least three US states over claims it has pushed up World Cup ticket prices by limiting supplies and switching categories. An investigation by the paper has also revealed some venues have sold fewer than half their seats, less than two weeks before the competition kicks off. The Sun says it approached Fifa for comment.
