The Daily Mirror leads on the NHS strikes, calling health officials “idiotic” for refusing nurses a fair pay deal while offering agency staff “£40 an hour” if they continue working. The move has “sparked fury”, the paper writes, as members of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) union prepare to strike on Wednesday and Thursday. There is also a slot for British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe who has entered the race to buy Manchester United FC – a story that appears on numerous front pages.
