The Papers: 'Look at my husband' and 'Vlad plots revenge'
Queen Camilla's first remarks about the King's cancer journey are prominent across Wednesday's papers.
The paper <source> reports that Prime Minister Andy Burnham's economic growth responsibilities now lie with No 10 North, indicating a shift of power away from Whitehall. In an interview with The Times, <source> Burnham describes the Treasury's role in managing public finances as hindering the growth mission. The paper compares No 10 North to Harold Wilson's Department of Economic Affairs, a dedicated ministry for growth created in 1964 and later merged into the Treasury. <source> Burnham's commitment to ending homelessness is highlighted in articles published in The Guardian and the Daily Mirror, with the former emphasizing his belief that homelessness should never have been accepted as a fact of life, a mindset that had taken hold in Westminster during the 1980s.
The newspaper warns that the national response to homelessness during the pandemic, described as "everyone all in it together," may face resistance from some councils. Meanwhile, the Daily Mail leads with the tragic story of a family's deaths at Shoreham-by-Sea, reporting that two adults jumped into the water to save the children, one of whom was rescued by a fisherman before raising the alarm.
The Financial Times covers long-term borrowing costs reaching multi-decade highs in the US, Europe, and Japan due to fiscal deficits with no clear solutions in sight, as growth remains sub-par and inflation is persistently high. Queen Camilla's comments about keeping the King's cancer a secret are featured on the front pages of the Daily Express and the Daily Mirror.
The Daily Telegraph praises the royal couple's unyielding courage in facing cancer with dignity and honesty.
