Most front pages focus on potential tougher Covid restrictions by Christmas, amid a surge in cases.
The Guardian features a photo of Boris Johnson, his wife and 17 staff members in the Downing Street garden with bottles of wine and a cheese board in May 2020. The paper reports that the picture raises questions about denials from No 10 of breaching Covid rules - Downing Street has said it was a "work meeting". At the time, people could only meet one person from another household outside.
Its lead story says that "at least ten ministers" question modelling done by Sage scientists on Omicron."No guarantees' of escape from tougher Xmas rule" is the Daily Telegraph's headline and the paper warns that tougher restrictions could "put a dampener" on family gatherings during the holidays."D-Day for Christmas" is the Mirror's lead. The paper says that tougher Covid restrictions "may be imposed in England this week".
